Hi everyone,

I finally gave in and created an account just bc im too curious.
This was one of my "gems of the season" and til Eps. 7 it was insanely promising.

Then the quality changed and not for the better... Character design and execution. Story. Sound design. literally every aspect dropped.
And they forget that its "murai no koi" and started "yamakado no koi".. for a couple of episodes...

Was there a hidden studio change?
(from what ive seen, its the same studio and director).
Or did the staff change? maybe money issues?

Man, Kiriyama was so well made and interesting and now its just cringe. what a waste.

Hope my frustration can be met with at least a direction, that makes this waste a tiny bit more palatable... :(
dang it and the first eps are SO good!

I have been loving this show too. It is extremely underrated and overlooked. Truly like you said, a gem.

Honestly, I haven't noticed any changes.The animation has been wonky since the beginning but the dialogue and interactions are still great and I love it

I don't think you should watch this show for it's visuals nor even care about it, because you know.
It's not as if it puts any effort in it.

The visual, well you need to get adapt with it. Actually, overall it could be cheap but get well with the vibe of the overall context.

This was my observation. The animation is pretty junky the entire time, I didn’t notice it getting any worse after a certain episode. The show thrives off of its great story and humour, along with its stellar voice acting.
I wish more people watched Chobits.

There is 100% a shift in quality. VAs do a good job at keeping it palatable.

But EP1-7 are clearly different from 8 onwards. Storytelling, directing/camera angles etc. all changed.

Regarding the character style, as "janky" as it might be, it is mostly consistent within the "episode-blocks" i mentioned.

Just kiriyama alone switches his character 180% degrees in the last 3-4 episodes, while he was the same for 1-7.

Here a small comp, as neutral as one might get it, as 95% of the show is mostly "humorously overdrawn" faces.. (and again, hard switch somewhere along 7-8, like the haircolor of kiriyama etc.)


currently the only thing i think is getting better is the Hirai x Yayoi part.
