Added DiffLines:

** There's evidence that Zima and Dita are higher functioning than regular persocoms and Zima had shown several times beforehand that he had an interest in seeing what the program would actually do and wanted Chi to be happy in the end. It may be that he was programmed to seek out more information to add to his database and since he had no data on what the program was, that was where his interest came from.

** This might make more sense if you take into account of Japan's declining birth rate. What if, instead of Chobits just being a TakeThat to the otaku, it's meant to get them to think about wanting human relationships by making them realise that they would prefer a robot over a real human being? Although, all of this might fall flat if you consider that at the end of the series, all Chobits ascend to true-human AI.

In this world, instead of making pong, the creators decided to make computer games that look like cute women, most likely because the game designers were sex-deprived. They made a contract with [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyuubey]] in order to make the robots realistic. They were then [[Anime/CodeGeass geassed]] into committing suicide with a Manga/DeathNote, and blamed it on [[Franchise/TheChroniclesofRiddick Riddick]]. The ensuing court case of awesomeness was too much for the universe to hold, with [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Shikieiki Yamaxanadu]] as the judge, and [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] as Riddick's lawyer, leading to the [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei demon-summoning program]] to be created to combat the end.

* Different audience than ''Anime/KidouTenshiAngelicLayer''; most of the characters removed; plot-important characters killed off in the backstory; Shuuko/Icchan [[ShipSinking broken up]] for ''no apparent reason''; and yet, it's too good for anyone to put in FanonDiscontinuity. Obviously, this was a test to see if ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', which is an AlternateContinuity of everything they've ever made that quickly degenerates into Main/DarkerAndEdgier, would fly. It did. [[note]] Shuuko and Icchan were never a couple in the manga (where it's stated Shuuko is too shy around people she loves, but is always fine around him). Chobits is the continuation for the Angelic Layer Manga, not the anime. Kaede's death is what brings the most credibility to this WMG. [[/note]]

* There's also the point when Freya asks Hideki if he wants to know what Chi can do that no other persocom can. He says that [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming unless it would affect their relationship, he doesn't need to know.]] It could have to do with all the persocom-shorting-out, building-exploding, flying stuff that Chi has demonstrated previously, except Hideki has seen it all so it's not like it's something Freya would have to tell him about. No, the "other thing" is that Chi can become a fully self-aware being and all she needed was to find her special someone to complete the transition.

* If Chobits was a good testing ground for the DarkerAndEdgier concept, then the Piffle Princess company was the (less blatant) prototype for the unifying effect of our favorite CLAMP dimension hoppers. PP makes central or background appearances in Angelic Layer, Chobits, LegalDrug, Suki, and Manga/CardcaptorSakura; it eventually shows up in Manga/XxxHOLiC and Tsubasa themselves. It's almost like CLAMP said to themselves, "hmm, this reappearing motif sure is handy for story telling - let's just scale it up to an entire multiverse and run with it"!

Fetish Fuel is not a trope and should not be used as one.


* Specifically, the {{Moe}} and assorted fetish otaku. Think about it: Attractive subservient robot girl, fetish-y outfits of the ElegantGothicLolita variety, a childlike demeanor in an artificial being that you can't get arrested with... That's just the main character! This was an attempt to cater to as many fetishes as possible (Shota Minoru, his Big Sister Complex, [[MayDecemberRomance Older Woman/Younger Man,]] the repeated images of the Persocoms in the windows, the tiny laptop Persocoms, etc.) without being as blatant as they were in ''Miyuki-chan In Wonderland'', allowing them to sell it to markets that might not allow obviously racier subjects. The FetishFuel is intentional, and the warm, fuzzy goggles through which the viewer sees ''Chobits'' is a subtle mockery of those who would accept it at face-value. After all, only maladjusted otaku - particularly those who feel their own fetishes are ''really totally normal, you guys'' - would buy into a series that says 'humans don't need other humans, just pliable cute robot dolls.'

* Well, Chi/Freya were Chobits, not standard-model persocoms, which don't come with Chi's reset-switch. Most seem to have the equivalent buttons on their ears, which is presumably where the male persocoms have it as well; we do see a few male persocoms, mostly in crowd scenes, but they do exist.

* One of the things that {{Otaku}} are often accused of is loving material things (like Computers or Gaming Consoles or merchandise) more than actual humans. Chobits tries to say that there's nothing wrong with that as long as you do love.

love. After all, the Chobits themselves were created to be surrogate daughters for a couple who otherwise couldn't have children; there was nothing superficial there. This is also why Chi's "on" button is where it is; Hideki cares more about his relationship with Chi and the memories they share than sexual pleasure.

I just noticed that Chi's "ultimate program of doom" (at least, the manga version that is prevented from being activated) is almost identical to Yue's "disaster" power at the end of the first arc of Manga/CardcaptorSakura. In short, it causes everyone around them (all persocoms, in Chi's case) to forget their relationship with the one they love so that the one activating the power can forget that they loved someone who wasn't worthy of that love. So what exactly are they trying to say? (My bet goes to "If love has made you miserable, you are fully justified in making everyone around you miserable.")

** That's not what Kokoro-Kiseki is about but okay.



Pertinent Natter from the main page:

** [[{{Fanon}} Not all people have sex the same way.]]
** She is told that she shouldn't let anyone touch her reset button unless they are 'the one for me and only me'. Not quite the same as never having sex.
*** ...except Hideki is explicitly told that he is not an exception to this rule, and that attempting anything of the sort will wipe her mind.
*** ...except whenever someone had tried to touch her and she went into a trance, it seems likely that it was[[spoiler: ''Freya'' saying only "the one for me and only me" could touch her since she's the one coming out during Chi's "trances." She may have just been testing Hideki to see how much he loved Chi since she's directly contradicting what she has said previously]] and at some point they will learn that they ''can'' consummate their love.
*** As pointed out in [[http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-02-20&comic=Parody this strip]], other options are not mentioned
*** ... at least not ''on-panel''. Considering how much of a horndog Hideki really is, it's only reasonable to assume that the though already crossed his mind, and will most likely explore them with Chii ''off-panel'')
*** [[http://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?id=2108 This is for fans who want to see them actually consumate their love]]
**** Okay, I'm not normally one for [[spoiler: DudeShesLikeInAComa]], but that was worth reading [[CrowningMomentOfFunny just for Chii's last line.]]



* The location of her reset switch is meant to keep Chi eternally virginal. Any sexual experience she has will merely be wiped from her memory by the mere act of it. Freya's/Chi's bezerker over an attempt to touch Chi "down there" fits in perfectly with how a virgin is traditionally supposed to act—that is, she is supposed to defend her virginity to the death. Similarly, "the only one for me" is part of the traditional narrative of "only one man for every woman."
* This opens up a plot hole: why defend to the death the virginity of someone who can essentially never lose it, and why save sexuality when she can never give it away? Perhaps Clamp wanted to highlight Chi's "purity" more than they cared to have a solid story. Or perhaps the bezerker is an Aesop to anyone who would even dare to defile a virgin (please imagine that in a sarcastic tone of voice).

I don't buy that Zima "just wanted to see what would happen". Zima and Dita were programmed by a syndicate for the sole purpose of protecting Zima's data. There's no way anything in his programming should allow him to relax the way he did against such a clear threat to their existence. His decision to stop Dita was very curious. In fact curiosity is the key word. He was curious what would happen. My, isn't that a very...human reaction to the situation? Zima appeared to operate based on free will, which he can't have, being a persocom. And this was before any possible consciousness change Chi caused when unlocking the program (at least in the anime). Therefore, I think its very feasible that Chi, being as powerful as she was, telepathically messed with Zima's programming, causing him to be 'curious' enough to restrain Dita, Chi's greatest remaining threat to finding "the person just for Chi."
