I feel like I kind of missed the boat on this one. On one hand, I think I can see why everyone likes it so much, on the other hand I just don't get it.

Although on the whole I liked the fast pace, I kind of wish that it was stretched out to be 7 or 8 episodes instead so I could try to decipher what was going on. It left me somewhat confused.

I thought it was pretty creative in terms of the art. There were a few scenes where they used a manga style to present them which was interesting to watch. The animation ... was good as well and kept me entertained.

Overall, I didn't really hate it, but I didn't particularly like it either. Sorry if that makes me sound wishy-washy. I would still recommend watching it so you can decide for yourself. Being only 6 episodes, it's not much of a chore, but I also would recommend watching it more than once to get a better feel for it. Give it a shot.

I started into the world of Chobits with the manga. I read about two volumes of it and thought it was pretty intriguing so I thought well why not watch the anime?

Let me say this, I am generally fairly easy to please. I'm one of those people that has learned that what is a good anime/manga is not necessarily the same as what anime/manga you enjoying watching/reading. That being said, I though Chobits failed on both accounts.

Hideki made me want to run my head through a cheese grater. He was incredibly dull and annoying as a character. He is completely and entirely forgettable. Chii was ... cute, but there wasn't much depth to her. She is slow at learning the human ways and while sometimes her antics are funny, most of the time it comes off as irritating.

I did like some of the art, particularly Chii's outfit designs. But there is nothing to distinguish Hideki from the next guy.

I will say that Sumomo was probably my favorite character. Her "wakey wakey" exercises had me cracking up! And Shinbo was interesting as well. I'm pretty much certain they're the only reason I actually managed to watch all 26 episodes. They keep my rating from being even lower, but are not enough to save the show.

It was slow, most of the characters were boring, and it was repetitive. I have no desire to watch it again. People that are interested in the storyline are better off reading the manga instead.
