About
One day, Hideki Motoshuwa, a nineteen year-old guy in Tokyo who come from the country, finds a 'Persacom'- a robot shaped like a human, among a pile of rubbish. This persacom is shaped like a female and is very beautiful. Hideki, naively takes the persacom home and starts it up and names her 'Chi'. Hideki, an ordinary man, is about to begin the most extraordinary life-a 'fairytale' you could say. Meet the fantastic characters, each with a strange story of their own,, a mixture of humans and persacoms-Chi, Freya, Hideki, Shinbou, Sumomo, Chitose Hibiya, Takako Shimizu, Minoru, Yuzuki, Yumi, Mr. Ueda, Kojima, Kotoko and even characters from the past linked to another CLAMP fantasy.
Personal Comments
A great TV Series, and Hisashi Abe has definitely done a great
job of copying out CLAMP's artwork as it is very close to the original artwork.
The animation is colourful, with lots of nice shading and gradient fill-like
colouring. It is also very bright and for most of it, makes you rather happy.
The seiyuus (voice actors) are excellent and really capture the characters'
personality.
The music was quite good too, using a mixture of a mini orchestra and synthesizers.
There was a mixture of happy, scary and melancholy music and the music was
well chosen for each scene and conveyed the mood and atmosphere well.
The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that they missed out a
lot of the background work of some of the characters' stories-i.e. Chitose
Hibiya's and Freya's story. Overall, it was a brilliant TV series.
