Heh!heh! This is about as cute as they come as Sumomo and Kotoko have a little adventure. While Sumomo annoys Kotoko about exercise, Hideki is late for college and leaves his wallet behind. So Chii is off after him to deliver it. Ah, but Chii has also left something behind and it's up to our chibi persocoms to track her down. Fortunately, Sumomo already has a plan for getting out of the apartment and chasing Chii down! Even though it is only six minutes long, fans of the Chobits series who loved Sumomo or Kotoko are just going to love this! I got several good laughs as I watched this kawaii comedic duo play off each other. I can see a series being launched from this (ala: Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses) should CLAMP be so inclined. I don't know why we only get to see Hideki's face for only a fraction of a second, and that's only half his face. Chii's face doesn't get shown until almost the end of the episode. And I'm not sure the seiyuu for Chii is the same one. I can't read Japanese so I don't know. It is similar, but doesn't sound the same. I could be smoking crack but since I've heard others make similar remarks, I guess I'm not smoking crack. ;-D UPDATE: Hikari Okhapkina informs me that in fact Tanaka Rie did do the voice of Chii according to the credits. Thanks Hikari! Bottom line: Very funny, kawaii, and I hope it makes it into the R1 DVD release! Last updated Sunday, November 14 2004. | ||||||||

Chibits, although kind of short, should satisfy every chobits fan out there with at least half a sence of humor. This short extra episode gives Sumomo and Kotoko, the two mobile persocons, about six minutes of fame, during which we get to see a significant increase in facial expressions from the otherwise stale Kotoko; and Chii wearing the school uniform which I think she got in episode two or three, but never wore in the actual series. Although funny, Chibits differs somewhat from the other Chobits episodes. Chii, for one thing, has undergone a terrible change of voice, which proved to be quite annoying although she doesn't have too many lines. The other thing that surprised me was when Sumomo grabs out a home made rocket (ok, firework) out of nowhere, grabs Kotoko and flies out the window. Funny to some extent, but not very "Chobitsy" in my opinion. Apart from these, and a few other insignificant matters, like why Kojima hasn't asked to get Kotoko back yet ( the same goes for Shinbo with Sumomo ), Chibits is a very entertaining addition to the Chobits series and shouldn't be left unwatched by anyone with a Chii poster above their bed. Actually, I don't see why Chibits (with a bit of work) couldn't evolve into a series of it own some day. Hell, I'd watch it! Last updated Wednesday, September 17 2003. | ||||||||

Now let's do some ranting! For starters, the idea of this thing is good (9 for art and 8 to series story)! But it sinks in the ocean of deffects. I think that authors were lazy on this one. Still images! It's okay to have some in 25 minutes long episode, but this ep is only 6(!) minutes long! So only 6 points for animation. Charaters are drawn well... those who are visible at least. So it comes to think that authors can't draw Hideki's and Chii's face properly. But charater behaviour is BAD! Sumomo is mini-personcon, so it (it not she!) cannot have advanced thinking - it's AI after all. And by the way... what are Sumomo and Kotoko doing in Hideki's apartament?! 2 points to charaters! Music is ok. But couldn't compose something new? It is Chii's theme after all! And on top of it all is VERY disgusting voice of Chii. I really really hope very much that 01 episode will posess it's full potential. Last updated Sunday, September 14 2003. | ||||||||
