I have finished a 26 episodes anime series in just two days. Wow. I've never done that before.
*puts that in her feats list and smiles smugly*
Anyways, what do I think about it? Truthfully I don't really know. I really loved some parts and certain episodes of the series but didn't really like some of them at the same time. I suppose loving and hating certain parts of a show is part and parcel in watching and appreciating a show. Overall, I'd rate it a 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The story was what really drew me in but I actually found Hideki's character kinda annoying during a few times so that put me off a little. Chii is also not the most likable character of all time, even though she may be extremely cute or kawaii as some may call her. I actually like Hideki's friend and neighbour, Shinbo, character better and his Persocon, Sumomo, is hilarious! I'd actually like to be a bit like Minoru more because he's really quite a boy genius and extremely polite and courteous.
I'm not going to tell the whole story here in one extra, extra long blog entry as it would take several pages.
Sigh. It would be nice to have a persocon, wouldn't it? For those who don't know what that is, I suggest reading my previous blog, yesterday, and follow the link provided to understand what I'm going on about. Well, I don't think I'd want to be a persocon too in any case. A world filled with humans and persocons is a scary at every I look at it, nevertheless. As much as I'd like a persocon to be like my personal assistant, messenger, answering machine, someone to run my errands, someone to pour my heart into, complain about anything to, and even be just there to talk to when I'm alone, a world where my only interaction with anyone has reduced to just conversing with a persocon, would probably just kill me. No matter, how beautiful, intelligent, comforting and the most comfortable person you could be with, that persocon is, there are certainly some things that a human can do that a persocon could never replace or do.
A persocon's voice, no matter how soft, tender and loving it is to our ears, could never take the place of a lover's whisper or a parent's caressing lullaby.
A persocon's touch, no matter how gentle and comforting, could never replace a mother's lovely hug, or that kiss with another human.
They just can't.
But then again, there will always be one that will defy the conventional and natural thinking and moralities set by society. And that's when your whole world will come crashing down when you fall in love with a robot or in this case, a persocon. But a persocon's memory or database can always be erased or modified. How then when the persocon's memory of you has been erased completely from his or her database? You will never forget the persocon, no matter how hard you try, because it will always hurt you whenever you see the persocon.
A persocon, no matter how real and close the human may be to him or her, is after all just a computer with a human outlook. Then again, there will come a persocon who will also defy this natural order and even learn to feel emotions and register them the way a normal human being would. The persocon might even come to realise his or her own feelings toward the human owner and grow more attached to the owner, day by day.
Damn, I'm ranting again. Sorry if I did bored you too much. There was so much going on in the last few episodes of the show that I just had to let it all go somewhere.
Well, that's all for my Chobits ranting.
Nothing much also happened today except for my rendevous as explaing above. I ate really quite little today as well in comparison to other days. A half bowl of cornflakes was my breakfast and another for my lunch. I had a green apple for a snack in the afternoon, followed by dinner with fish, vegetables and some weird concoction made of shredded chicken, fishcakes and tang hoon noodles. Well, seeing as the maid is off, my mom had our dinner catered for this month and it's like we get 3 mystery dishes every weekday for only RM150 per person. But my mom had the lady prepare the food for only 3 persons and it feeds the family quite enough for the day because the homecooked meals come in quite large portions. Well, I'm stuffed and I need some sweets to sweeten my tummy. Tomorrow, I'll be going to 1Utama with Sharon. No idea what we're actually going to do there but I got some stuff to buy so that's my agenda for tomorrow. We might catch a movie too if we're able and lucky to get good seats. I actually want to watch Alexander despite the bad reviews, simply because of Colin Farrell. I feel so ashamed for my display of fangirl-ism for him. I have to stop this.
