Description: While Hideki studies for cram school he also learns many things about Chi. Some books have a strange effect on her, she requires charging, and keeping a chobits unit can be expensive! Chi decides to get a job to help out with the bills, but when her "good job" turns out to be in a peepshow, the shocking outcome will be more than anyone can handle! How will Chi's dark side affect their future?
Amazon.com: Maladroit, perennially broke 18-year-old Hideki frantically divides his time between his prep school studies and trying to make ends meet, without much success at either. His life really revolves around Chi, his Chobit, a super-powerful personal robot or "persocom." Realizing Hideki's part-time job in a pub isn't bringing enough money, Chi goes job-hunting--and ends working for the online skin show Live Cute Kitten Peeping Nyan Nyan. Horrified, Hideki sprints to her rescue. When the peep show manager touches Chi between her legs, a huge explosion occurs that sends Chi and every other persocom within range into catatonia. Chi gets a better job the next day as a hostess in a bakery. It's a typical tale of a well-intentioned nerd and a lovely android who enjoys being as submissive as a doormat, a genre that must seem less dated in Japan. (Rated 16 and older: nudity, sexual humor) --Charles Solomon
Life is all about learning... In this second DVD of Chobits everybody learns something. Chii learns about books and money, Hideki learns that Chobits need to be recharged, just like other pieces of equipment, and we learn to always wear goggles at live peepshows. And Chii's dark side is starting to appear too! Seriously, this is a great DVD. While it has only a few extras and only four episodes, these are great episodes. A serious story from CLAMP with a touch of humor, great artwork and great voices like those of Wendee Lee, Sandy Fox and Crispin Freeman, how could you go wrong? You can't! Buy it or rent it, but see it today! Or whenever it gets delivered.
Pretending not to realize their true feelings Now that the characters are established, it's time for story. This set of episodes starts to establish the down-side of innocence. Nobody really knows anything yet and so far they seem to be worried for the unusual couple. This disk also starts to shine light of the issue of caring too much about technology. Some character observations seven show a hint of mockery and taboo over the way Chi and Hideki react to each other.
More secrets are revealed and the plot begins to deepen. The comedic aspect seems to fade in this portion but the story makes it all the much more worth watching. Be prepared to have a headache thinking about the future of the series after this one.

The Chobits Snowball Gets Rolling This all important second volume of "Chobits" begins to introduce characters, ideas and ongoing clues that begin to give the series a momentum that will carry it to the 26th and final episode.
To recap, 18-year-old farm boy Hideki Motosuwa has moved into the big city to attend cram school to get into college. He one day finds Chi, a Persocon (human looking robots that are as popular as cell phones) who may actually be a Chobits, a legendary series of Persocons that, among other powerful and unique abilities, can exercise free will. He must teach her how to go about and survive in the real world, while juggling school, work and the quest to find out her identity.
"The Empty City" is named after a book that catches Chi's eye at the local bookstore. Hideki sacrifices his English lessons by spending his precious, disappearing funds to buy Chi the book instead of a dictionary. She reads the fairy tale and find that the main character seems vaguely to be a Persocon who wanders alone in a city full of human couples, looking for love or companionship. Throughout the series, Chi will continue to find and buy the sequels to the book, which has a surprising author.
This volume definitely exemplifies why feminists and younger children might shy away from the series. With Hideki's meager paycheck from the restaurant not quite cutting it, Chi goes out to find a job. She is conned by a stranger into a peep show that is also broadcast online. He encourages her to strip down and do other things; he sticks his hand between her legs and pays the price--a tremendous burst of energy demolishes the peep show house and temporarily disables nearly all the Persocons in the city.
Chi continues to learn words, manners and other everyday skills, and gets a safer job at the local bakery, whose owner later plays a significant role in setting up the atmosphere of a world where Persocons are extremely popular, but also somewhat feared for their combined effect on social interaction among humans.
"Chobits" has art on a par with any modern anime, and has some of the cleanest computer graphics integration; the music is superb, with one of the more catchy opening and ending themes. Plenty of booby-type jokes, and certain ideas and themes that may offend those with a strong feminist leaning. Recommended for all others, and those above 13.
KAWAII!!! ...All I can say is this Series is a little Adult, but Its is a great story of weirdness, comuters, nerds, and love, If It was up to me it would win an Oscar, I Read the manga first loved watch DVD 1 and 2 and loved now I just watched DVD 3, I recomend Chobits to everyone, and if you under 16, you have to be a little mature, but hey, If you want some great anime chobits is for you
