Chobits - 1

Chobits



Episode 1


So, here we are, fresh with a new anime, one that doesn't suck ass. It starts off with a simple farm boy wanting to go to college. Unfortunately...

 
He fails hard. Maybe if he spent less time with his cows?


Just sayin'... Anyways, he decides to go to Tokyo to a prep school and cram until he gets in. One interesting thing you need to know about this world is that the personal computers (persocoms) look like this...


That's right, they are designed to look human, they walk, they talk, everything. Our main character, Hideki, has a problem with talking to himself...more like shouting his thoughts out loud. For example, while lamenting the outrageous price of persocoms he shouts that he wants to check his email and surf porn sites, right in front of...


his new landlady, Hibiya Chitose. Then we have his neighbor...


Shinbo Hiromu, and that adorable little thing on his shoulder is a "laptop" or mobile persocom named Sumomo and yes, I want one severely. While walking home one night and lamenting the fact that he is broke and that there would never be a persocom just laying around for him to take, he stumbles upon this...



And since this persocom is in the trash he helps himself, and proceeds to drag her extremely heavy body home with him, dropping a shiny disk that she came with in the process. Once he gets her home, he then has the problem of how to turn her on. He pushes everything he can push, and there's only one place left...


 yeah, in there. He turns her on (ha, pun not intended) and she comes to life. Only problem is, the only thing she can say is "chi" He wraps her in a towel and tries to hide her, but when the manager comes by she sees the persocom just in time for her to lose her towel, but she takes it in stride. The persocom copies Hideki's movements and gives him nosebleeds when she copies the poses she sees in his porn mags while she's wearing his shirt.


End of episode 1. It's a cute show, but it's been a long time since I've watched it, so I'm along for this ride as well.
