*CONTAINS SPOILERS* Every
week we will add 2-4 more summaries of each episode. Soon, as the
characters page gets developed, there will be links linking to the
corresponding character. * = Mysteries/ Debatable events #
= Related to the end/ connect to it after you watched the entire show. 1.
Chii Awakens Hideki, the main
character, leaves the country-side and departs for Tokyo upon realizing
that he has failed the entrance exam to Takara University. He plans to go
to cram school, but upon arrival of Tokyo he sees a persocon store and
starts going berserk over the price, and wishes he had one himself so he
can visit porn sites. He finds his way to his apartment- Kabu Jougasaki
where he meets the landlady, Hibiya, who entreats him to a little snack.
Hideki goes to a grocery store and realizes that the cashier is a very
competent persocon. When he goes home, he sees a trashed persocon on the
floor and decides to take it. *A disk drops to the floor. He boots Chii up
and feels lucky but she can only say “Chii”. # Hibiya finds out about
Hideki owning Chii but acts nonchalantly. 2. Chii Goes Out
(Chii de ka ke ru) Shinbo takes a
look at Chii by inspecting it with his Sumomo. However, Sumomo does not
pack enough CPU power and gets shocked by the power of Chii. Consequently,
Shinbo is not very pleased with the results and sends Hideki to get an
analysis at Minoru, the persocon master. Though short, young, deprived of
a sister (* Does he even have parents?) and lives alone, he is an
intelligent kid that manages to give some important information to Hideki.
He mentions once the possibility of Chii being a Chobit, or legendary
person #. A notable event is that Chii finally says something besides her
name; she recalls Hideki’s phone number. Hideki learns this and decides
to dedicate himself to teaching Chii some valuable and essential skills in
life. 3. Chii Learns In this episode,
not only does Chii learn, but Hideki also. He goes to a crash course
seminar for Classical Literature, English, and Math. The teacher, Takako
Shimizu, is beautiful (she is engaged in a side-story… see episode 14,
15, 16) and gets the attention of Hideki, who of course thinks of this
course as paradise, without realizing his ultra-poor performance in the
seminar (totally intended by Clamp in order to develop his unique
character and a slight comic relief). Hideki gets a job at Yorokonde,
where he meets a cute high school girl Yumi (with E-cups FYI); that sets
his employment and source for cash (making this series at least a little
more realistic). Chii learns the word “happy” #. (*Observe the
landlady’s reaction when she sees Chii) 4. Chii Goes on
Errands This has got to be by far the MOST ANNOYING EPISODE EVER. IN this episode, Chii has the task of buying herself panties because Hideki cannot embarrass himself by going into a all-girls’s lingerie shop. Thus the entire episodes revolves around the humiliation of Chii and Sumomo (who gives Chii directions to the lingerie shop) as bystanders debunk Chii’s repetition of the word “panties” or “Pan Tz”. She has got to have said “panties” at least 100 times. But this episode portrays the teamwork of persocons. NOTE: In the manga, Hideki actually bought the panties himself - yes he got embarrassed as he quickly hurried in and bought them. |
