Chobits THE Complete Collection All 1-24 Episodes Anime, DVD 3 Disc

Description: Introduction I usually begin one of these reviews with an attempt to justify my purchase. This time I can’t even begin to explain why I opted to buy a Blu-ray of a show that I already have on DVD, other than to state that Chobits is one of my favourite anime, a show that got me hooked on the anime medium again after a brief hiatus back in the late nineties and early two-thousands. Therein lies the rub. Chobits is a show made in the early 2000s, after the end of cel and paint anime, but before the advent of high definition. This was a show natively animated at 480 lines of resolution for NTSC broadcast. And when it came to scaling it up for Blu-ray presentation, Funimation accomplished this in-house in the US; this wasn’t a Japanese Blu-ray created from the original source animation. The Japanese Blu-ray was released some four years later, and probably used Funimation’s upscale. Fewer discs, less shelf space, and that scratchproof coating might be the only selling points of the Chobits Blu-ray. Chobits takes place in a not too distant future, where computers and similar gadgets have evolved into Persocoms. Designed to be companions for people, they are technological devices in robot bodies that look completely human except for the ears, with a degree of intelligence and personality, and tailored to the needs of their owners. Hideki Motosuwa failed his entrance exams for university, and is playing catch up by enrolling in a prep school to get his grades up to scratch. He’s left his home in the country and moved to the city for this, finding lodgings as well as a job in a bar to pay the bills. He’s shy around the opposite sex, though he has a healthy interest in girlie magazines. He’s surprised to see the number of Persocoms in the city; it looks as if everyone has got one of the expensive items. He knows he’ll never be able to afford one, so it seems serendipitous when he finds one discarded. He’s not exactly savvy about technology, but fellow student and neighbour Hiromu Shinbo along with Minoru Kokubunji help him reactivate Chi. But Chi is a blank slate, one that miraculously appears to be operating without an OS. Hideki is soon spending his spare time teaching Chi, but Chi manifests some odd traits. Just where did she come from, and what was she before her memory was wiped? Disc 1 1. Chi Awakens 2. Chi Goes Out 3. Chi Learns 4. Chi Goes On Errands 5. Chi Finds 6. Chi Weakens 7. Chi Works 8.
