It was better than Cowboy Bepop

[Newtype05]

I started watching both series at the same time, but got hooked on Chobits much more than that filler-fest episodes of Cowboy Bebop that really has no underlying message of any kind like Chobits does. Chobits was easily one of the very moving anime I have seen and it really reminds me of Blade Runner. For being a very cute anime, the message contained within was actually very deep and profound, I didn't expect that at all and was pleasantly surprised. And whoever that thinks this is hentai anime is beyond insane, there's not one moment that goes over the line of being explicit. It's more of a coming of age thing than anything else. Some moments in the series reminded me of Urusei Yatsura movies, which is always a good thing.

I like Cowboy Bebop movie a lot, but the series is vastly overrated, too many filler episodes and not really any deep meaning of any kind, it's just an adventure that gets old real fast.

Chobits really should make a movie, and Chibits is a clever spoof that probably deserves its own series, very funny.

The two are completely different and can't really be compared..............So, you liked one more than the other.

I like Bebop better than the "extremely original" story line in Chobits. The who concept of a boy falling in loove with a cute female robot is so new!

I think the idea of Cowboy Bebop was non continuity, just the many adventures of the Bebop crew.

POSSIBLE CHOBITS SPOILERS




Anyway Chobits was enjoyable when I watched it, though I was a bit dissapointed with the ending .., ( to be honest I was hoping some persocom battle between Chii and those two persocoms in black ) but I don't know I guess the whole "Oh Chii remembers, everything is ok we can continue living like we did" didn't really do it for me .. a bit of a cliche sort of.

Yeah, I feel similarly about the ending ... there was good buildup and continuity ... but IMO the ending was a bit of a letdown ...

That is how I felt after finshing the Manga and due to that I honestly haven't had the need to see the end of the anime. As for Beebop it was overated and as such now I think that Samari Champloo is going to be seen as a new Beebop which is a shame as it is nothing like Beebop except in who is making it. Did Beebop help open more doors for anime? Yea, it sure did. However, as far as underlying themes go I feel both series do have heavy messages to convey. While one may be more "cliche" then the other both where more then skin deep.

Chobits delt with human/robot interaction and the fear of robots coming to be almost to human. In a genral way of speaking. At least that is how I viewed it. The fact that one can feel for Hidkie and Chi shows that there is a real warmth to the charecters which is always nice.

Beebop however, had to deal with a man dealing with a troubled past. While yes, Beebop had many filler eps it did serve to show a closing in alomst all of them and that really helped to give the underlying theme there concrete apeal for me. Also, although Chobits had a great supporting cast who where well fleshed out I didn't care so much for them as I did for the Beebop crew.

There's one big thing that happened at the end, I can't believe you missed it, when Chii regained herself, a program was activated for all persocoms via network and it's the "chobits" system where all persocoms can think for themselves and have feelings like humans. That's what the focus on the persocoms' eyes were all about. And for anime like this it doesn't really need an Evangelion-esque ending, I'm glad they didn'g go too crazy on it.

Yes I can compare the two, they are both anime, same length series, that's good enough similarities for me, and even more comparable for me since I saw them at the same time. It was kind of a surprise to me that I liked Chobits better because I usually prefer the adventure type anime like Cowboy Bebop almost all the time. Cowboy Bebop was realllllllly boring, characters are colorful, but they are almost cartoonish to even care for, especailly Ed.

Don't tell me Cowboy Bebop is ORIGINAL...it's a classic Star Wars ensemble ripoff.

I beg to differ, Cowboy Bebop crew is too cartoonish to even care about, and they are so over the top that I never felt thery were genuine characters. Chobits on the other hand had characters that had some real pain and past, I like how every character had issues of their own instead of just being a fill-in roles for Chii and Hideki. How they related to what Hideki was going through and offered a helping hand was illustrated very convincingly. On the other hand, for Cowboy Bebop they don't even show why Faye tags along with Bebop crew to begin with, and why Ed wanted to be a member of the crew. It's just too convenient with a lack of explanation, very slap-stick that tries to be cool about it, but it's really not, just irresponsible story telling.

Then, you can compare just about every anime in existance............

Cartoonish characters? Well, that sounds normal......for a chartoon. But, I found Chobits to be full of cartoonish characters.

How is Bebop a Star Wars rip? The are both in space? They have bounty hunters? Pretty weak links.



I'm not saying you are prefer one to the other......I'm just saying they're not really comparavle.

Yep popcorn is better than caviar

It's probably snobs like you that overhyped Cowboy Bebop to death.

[Westlo]

How old are you? I can understand if you are twenty years old living in your mums basement why you can relate to chobits more than the mature cast of bebop.

How could you relate to characters that have lived when you have fantasies of a doll you can turn the power on and off every second at night time for 30 secs.

And I agree with you that Bebop is overhyped/rated but it doesn't change the fact it's one of the greatest animes ever.

[Newtype05]

Actually its the other way around, immature pricks like you get all worked up in eyecandy Gundam Seed crap with beam rifles and shiny missles banging each other to death oh yeah that's real mature stuff there. Bebop is MATURE? BWAHAHHA, u are a dumb snotnose who hasn't seen squat.

If you know anything about living, you'd show a little more interest to a relationship between characters than mobile suits screwing each other over and over and over for 20 years.

Run along kiddie, and shove your snotnose insults up your kiddie pale blue ass.

I hated Gundam

[Westlo]

He disses gundam..... like I care..... he's the one with the gundam screenname not me

Now go back to your dreams of turning Chi on and off.
