The Story:
Robots are designed to look exactly like humans and are replacing the positions of humans, that’s the case for the citizens of Tokyo, Japan in Chobits. Cities are pretty much being taken over by persocons (robots) under the commands of humans (Normal, average people, no one evil or insane.) Doesn’t really make much sense to me in a way, ordering someone to take over the position of you, your love ones or your friends, but this thought seems to be able to work out fine in the anime and manga.

Basically, the anime is about Motosuwa Hideki falling in love with his persocon Chii. When he realized that he was in love with his persocon, he wasn’t exactly sure of what to do. Could a human and persocon really fall in love and be happy? And with all the warnings and things that had happened to people he knew who fell in love with their persocon's, he was confused. Also what/who (besides from being a persocon) is Chii? Why does she act so strange and different from other persocons? Having all these questions Hideki was more confused then ever. Thus he tries to find answers, along the way meeting all sorts of new people and encountering all sorts of incidents with Chii. Would humans and persocoms finally be able to love one another happily and truly, despite of all the other relationships between a human and a persocon that didn’t work out?

Thoughts:
One thing that really made me enjoy the anime was the animation. I thought it was done very nicely. Also, I thought that the use of the music was pretty done well. Throughout the whole anime, there was quite a bit of music used, and there were times where I didn’t think that the music was needed.

I also found Chobits a funny anime, which I thought was good. Since the parts that people remembers in a movie, anime, or in anything they watch, are the funny or sad parts. So the funny parts really made me remember this anime. When I say funny, I don’t mean really funny, but just funny enough so that you would have a small laugh and remember the anime.

I wouldn’t recommend this anime to younger people, since there are thoughts and scenes that might not be suitable for younger viewers; also, the manga is rated for older teens. Though for everyone else, I would recommend this anime to you. Many people say that the ending is sad, and that they usually end up crying in the end. Maybe because I knew the ending beforehand, I didn’t cry. Well, I didn’t find it sad at all. But then you might want to have a box of tissue beside you when you watch the last episode, just in case you do.
