Ok, so I actually finished watching it a few days ago. I've only gotten around to making a blog about it now though.
...
~Chobits~
I thought it was an amazing show and really liked it.^-^ It was dramatic yet not too stressful, I wasn't biting my nails though half the series over some **** that just never stops. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, (or that I wasn't biting my nails at some points of Chobits) but not having it made it more, I don't know, relaxing. Everything played out really nicely over all, but there's still a bunch of things I don't know. This isn't the last of it I'll be seeing that's for sure.
It was definitely aimed mostly for girls though, shōjo by far. But you know what, I'd take that over the plan action and little to no emotions of shōnen any day. (Not saying all of shōnen is like that, I'm saying things like Chobits >>> things like Naruto.) Especially the not-so-subtle message of "you can't let anyone into you (data base) except for the one just for you." Being even more obvious with the fact that the switch only "the person just for her" is allowed to touch is located at the same place it is with real girls. Not that I minded at all, it's cool.
But, I have to admit this, I watch it on YouTube.
Yea I know you're not supposed to, but I'm new to this anime stuff and just wanted to try it out. I still want to buy it though, I want to re watch it in a better quality and without having to switch to dubs cuz the person forgot to upload that portion of the episode. (I don't hate dubs that much I just prefer subs.) So question, can I get it with subs only at some place like Best Buy? Cuz right now I'm in no position to buy anything online (long story) and I want to pay for this, it's worth it.
There's another thing I'm excited about, this means my sense for knowing when a game is good carries over to anime. I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about, after playing video games all your life you sometimes look at small bits of one and know that it's awesome and kind of why. I only saw pics of Chobits and an AMV and I knew it was going to be awesome. I don't mean to brag or anything but I was totally right. This makes me even more intrigued about Elven Lied, that's something I've been curious about for years, before I even cared about anime. (And yes, I know it's the opposite of Chobits don't worry.)
Ack, long blog again. Thx to anyone who actually read the whole thing. And if you didn't that's cool, but if you know rather or not I can buy Chobits in Jap with Eng subs from a place like Bets Buy can you tell me plz?

Oh, Clannad, I think I've seen a bit of that. Is it a romantic comedy or just plan romantic? I like a little bit of humor mixed into these kinds of things. (and of course, by romantic comedy I mean 80% romance and 20% comedy. Since that's how romantic comedies usually are.)
About Best Buy: Eh, I hope I can. Do you think maybe I can ask them to order it? (I know they do stuff like that with bookstores.) If not then where do you get subbed anime shows?

Yeah Clannad is kinda like that, it has A LOT of drama, romance and comedy. Its only 23 eps long or so and there is also a movie which is reaaaally heavy on the drama i cried a few times 
(if u watch this u might as well try Kanon 2006 as well).
About BB: I dont know man u should go ask maybe they have them, i find my subbed episodes the only way i can, through teh interwebz
i would tell u but i dont want to get banned cuz i gave u some link ¬¬.

Lawl, I said in my blog that I watched it all on YouTube. I think I'd get in trouble before you. Plus there's always the PM system for things like that. Of course, if you think you'd get in trouble, that probably mean you get it free. I want to to buy it for the sake of paying for it and supporting it. So, thanks for being willing to give it to me, but no thanks.
Yea I plan on asking the people at BB tomorrow. If they can't then I'll have to wait and order it online. I'll get the manga while waiting or watch something else. I actually already looked up Clannad and watched the first episode. I'm going to watched the first episode of Elven Lied too and decide from there. (latter, I'm not watching it before I go to bed.>.>...)

I actually buy a few anime's but only the old ones(Cowboy, Evangelion, Gundam wingz,etc etc) im not waiting 3 years for X anime thats airing right now to be on dvd -_-. U can probably watch anime on Crunchyroll.com its a perfectly legal site with free anime no problem there(they teamed up with gonzo anime studio or something) its a really cool site but they have region restrictions and stuff so i cant watch some of the shows.

Nice! Chobits is a good show...
About the DVDs... most anime series have now the option of putting the original japanese voices with subtitles (that is what I always do), so I don't really see a problem with that

glad you enjoyed it!

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it. For the anime purchase thing. I don't know about the stores in your area, but my local manga/anime stores are often willing to order stuff for me even if it isn't one of the series they sell.

I am looking for some anime to watch before I go to comic-con this summer (its been years since I have watched any).
I suggest you watch Love Hina (especially if you like turtles lol). It was my first non pokemon/dragonballz/commercial (aired on tv here in the states) anime and remains one of my favorites

hey you should also try azumanga daioh I think you'd find it really funny. It's a great comedy and I guess if you like that one you could try Fruits Basket as well....
