****Chobits disk 1****
Chobits is a 26 episode long Japanese manga series.It has been quite popular and can be bought to read,on dvd and there is also a video game out for it.
The four episodes on disk one are called-chi awakens,chi goes out,chi learns and chi goes on errands.
The series is about a guy called Hideki Motosuwa who at the beginning of the series has just moved to the city and is planing to attend a prep school so that he can get ... ...so imagine his delight when he finds a Persocom. Persocoms are computers that look just like people,toy figures or animals.When he turns it on (switches on in a completely dodgy place) all it can say is chi and that is how it gets its name.The episodes then centre around Hideki's relationship with Chi and without giving anything away there he gets into some pretty embarrassing situations.A major theme in this series is obviously the persocome-human ...
Advantages: Enjoyable and well-made film Disadvantages: Might be too self-effacing for some
...always badgering her drunk-looking husband Kikujiro (Beat's part) badgers him into taking the boy to see his mother. Of course the irresponsible guy delays things by a couple of days whilst he gambles away the boy's savings until they finally get going. At this point the film comes into its own and becomes basically a road movie. The point of the mission is sometimes forgotten as Beat takes over and changes from being a useless petty thug of a layabout ... ...turns to protectiveness and a desire to make the boy happy. The journey becomes one long series of episodes where Beat uses his surroundings and the people they meet to this end.
Does the boy get to his mother? That is something for you to discover from seeing the film. Suffice to say that there is drama as well as comedy in this movie, although the tone is gently upbeat.
The acting is of a uniformly high standard. Kitano is his customary mixture ...
Advantages: Funny Disadvantages: Special eps needed
The anime has a slightly diffrent story to it than the manga does but that does mean that it is watchable for those who have read the mangas like myself. Although I didn't like how the DVD set missed out some of the stories that you have to buy on special episodes and such, that made watching this quite hard when it skips out a huge chunk.
You don't really notice the missing plot unless you have already read the manga though, so I would recommend ... ...also get the special episodes so they don't miss a huge chunk of the story out.
Other than the missing part, the DVD and the anime itself is certainly worth buying and watching. I enjoyed this to the last episode, though the added features are nothing intresting, who watches them anyway, haha. ...
...with it, to a certain extent, reeling them in when something doesn't quite work. It must have been fun to make. Maverick is available from amaon.co.uk for £3.88. It's worth the buy, and one to put on to have a fun and entertaining film to watch whenevr you need. Recommended. ...
