Chobits is Brilliant, April 1, 2005
Wow! Chobits is absolutely an anime worth your time and money. It is an anime that provides many, many laughs and the moments between Chi and Hideki are heartwarming. The animation is wonderful and there are moments where it is laugh-out-loud hilarious. The Chobits anime follows closely to the manga, although there are a few episodes of the anime that are not in the manga. The episodes are none the less wonderful. The charcaters and story line are all superbly done. I found myself using the word "cute" to describe Chi and Plum (Sumomo) many times. The English dub is very well done for those of you who prefer it, and the original Japanese version is, as always, fantastic. I recommend this anime for an older audience as it does contain some rather adult content... content that is very hilarious, but remains older youth/adult humor. Chobits is a spectacular anime and I am positive that you will love it as much as I do. Run out and buy it NOW! ^^

A Great Buy!, January 11, 2005
This is just a review of the box, since there are already MANY reviews of the series! + This contains the first 3 DVDs of the Chobits series, with each DVD containing 4 episodes on each disc. On one side of the box there's a nice picture of Chii (the main character) sitting outside. The other side of the box is clear, so that shows the cover of whichever DVD is facing out.
The box is basic plastic, but it's sturdy enough to hold the DVDs as long as you take care of it. I only wish the box was a bit sturdier, and the spine of it was more detailed (and attractive) with the series name clearly written on it. As it is, it only has small writing on it and bits of background art and Chii's hair. (?) Putting this and the 2nd box side by side looks a bit funny, but that's me getting a little too collector obsessive. =)
There are no new extras added to the DVDs, but thankfully Geneon kept the nice insert/poster in each seperate DVD (these are sometimes skipped when DVDs are re-released in box sets) Each DVD case is clear, and on the reverse side of the cover there's very nice artwork. So this is a great buy if you've been waiting to buy this series on the cheap (I've also seen this in stores for $40)- but if you already own the Chobits DVDs there is NO reason to "double dip"!

Got me hooked, July 13, 2005
Okay, this is one of the more interesting Anime. I read the first manga, and then I found this anime on DVD, and after watching the Anime, I was hooked. This first set of DVDs is all basically character and setting building with a little fore shadowing. It starts to develope a Science Fiction theme as you go through the rest of the story. I highly reccommend buying these first three DVDs if you are at all interested in Chobits, or know someone who is. Then buy the last 3. This anime runs about 26 episodes and each are 25 minutes long. Each of the first 3 DVDs carries 100 minutes each, having 4 episodes per disc. Any one that is into science fiction, anime, love stories, and beutiful pictures, get this.
