I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to peg the heck out of one genre for a while and then move on to the next. I'm sure you all noticed that for the last few months I have been on a real comedy kick in my viewing habits. Chobits is the latest and greatest in that trend ... and it may be the of the genre last for a while. Not so much because I am tired of watching romantic comedy, I've enjoyed all the titles so far and Chobits is shaping up to be a great series, but I feel it's time to move on to something different for a while.
So, what's next? I'm thinking action. I borrowed a fansub of Naurto from a coworker, and with its pending release in the States, I thought it would be a cool idea to give my readers a preview of what is to come. I also have a quite a few other shows backlogged on the DVR that I need to hit before the new prime time TV season is on us.
In the mean time, I'll continue with Chobits and will post my thoughts on the whole series when I am done. A Chobits "Thinpack" collection release is due November 8, 2005 and is priced around $100 (or less at Rightstuf), so the review is timely. I'm glad I am finally getting around to it, it's a very funny, racy and damn enjoyable series. The dub is good, and I am enjoying hearing Crispin Freeman as Hideki Motosuwa and Michelle Ruff as Chii. The real kicker is Tony Oliver as Hiromu Shinbo, who is a far cry from Rick Hunter in Robotech I must say (though in this case he sounds the same).
I'm through disc 2 at this point and taking my time with it. I'd say a review in a few weeks may come up, but I'm not in the mood to rush through. I also roped my wife into watching Please Teacher with me in her spare time, so that should be interesting. Its really rare nowadays that I get to watch Anime WITH someone, it's a real treat. Long gone are the college days of chili cookoff Anime nights. I really miss those marathons.

Yet another good sale at Rightstuf. Maybe someday someone besides me will take advantage of them.

Studio Summary
If Maiku is a healthy teenage boy, why won't he show any interest in girls, especially when two gorgeous girls are living with him? Could it be that Maiku has interests in the same sex? Well, that's all it takes for Miina and Karen to flaunt their nubile bodies in front of him to test this theory. But they both may be starting to develop feelings for Maiku that may not be appropriate considering that one of them may be his sister.
To prevent this from going any further, Miina and Karen form a 'love alliance' to not make any advances toward Maiku and prevent others from getting too close to him. This alliance will be put to the test when the three of them win a free trip to a tropical island with some unexpected company showing up!
DVD Features: Image Vocal Clips and Textless Ending.
