I just finished watching the final episode of "Chobits," and I'm not sure what to think. While it's not on the sugary level of "Fancy La La," I didn't find it interesting enough to give it the high rating of "Angelic Layer," either.
"Chobits" tells the story of Hideki Motosuwa, who finds an abandoned persocom, or personal computer with human form, that he names "Chi" after the only word it initially can speak. As the series progresses, they explore the mysteries of Chi's origin together and questions about the relationship between human beings and persocoms. The manga is set in the same universe as Angelic Layer, taking place a few years after the events of that story, and like Angelic Layer, it explores the relationship between human beings and electronic devices shaped like human beings. Chobits branches off as a crossover into many other stories in different ways, such as Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic and Kobato.
I will say that there was one slightly annoying character, Sumomo, but she was still likeable. As I said, I don't know what to think of this series. I didn't fall asleep on it, so that says something. However, even though the series was set in the same universe as Angelic Layer, I still didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did the first time I saw Angelic Layer, which is my #1 favorite anime series of all time!
