Please don't lie.

Don't be fooled by the dress. And the girl's body. Its the ears that give it away.

Very. I haven't seen it all yet (I'd like to get it on DVD cos I prefer watching anime like that), but it's really good. Plenty of rude jokes.

I think it'll be right up your alley Saddles. Personally I think it has the best OP ever btw. The show itself was good in my opinion, but not great.

Um, I'm not. ._. I can find a manga picture of him later on if you'd like. It's seriously a guy. There's a part that proves it but I ignored it. ^^; He looks best as Mailman-san but I guess he gave that up after he realized he was gay.

His parents are fashion designers and he dressed as a girl since he was young due to something between him and Maguri..

I found a ncie picture of Ushio but lost it. Ah, Chobits. ^^ My sister calls herself Chii-chan. She loves Chi.

Posted by T.C. on 05.08.2008, 07:31 PM:

ye chobits isnt bad at all.. ive seen the first few episodes but thats all. i couldnt get over all the references though, every time i watched it i was looking for more after the first couple.

Posted by Saddletank on 05.09.2008, 08:24 AM:

References?

Do we need a Chobits thread to stop this one straying away from the more important subject of GIRLS!

Technically, Chii is a robot, not a girl

Chobits is by CLAMP, same people that created Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Chronicles. But it's much more mature... in the graphical sense *hint*hint*.

Story's about a guy, Hideki, who falls for his robot persocon Chii, in a future where human-shaped robots replace computers.

You're kidding, right? She's like the best character in the series.

For some reason I've never really understood the appeal of women with cat ears. It's always just seemed kind of, I don't know . . . weird, for lack of a better term. Maybe it's just me.

Hehe, I knew that was a Kaze-Hime piece as soon as I saw it.

And I dunno about the ears thing. I think it's often quite cute. But then there's the full-on anthro art, which I find stupid for the most part, especially since a lot of it is hentai.

It's not; I don't get it either. Some of the very chibi ones that are like babies are sweet (I posted a pic like that earlier in this thread) but the adult ones to me seem... hm, a bit kinky. It doesn't work for me.

And now without Neko ears:

So, take your pick

Posted by arren18 on 05.10.2008, 01:44 PM:

I'd pick the first one, definitely. With the second, it just feels like it's missing something, in my opinion.

Only because you saw the first one first. The other way around I'd expect people's opinions to be reversed.

It was interesting that while editing it I noticed her head is a distorted shape. The artist hasn't started with a symmetrical oval for the skull then added detail, they started with the detail and worked down which is technically not the way to draw (or paint).

But I'm not an artist, its just the way I was taught.

I particularly like the hair in this picture though, and the shading of the yukata and obi, very nice.

Ah, I've got several different versions of that, recolourings edits with the figure taken out and such but I have never seen that one. I think it's nicer than all the reworked ones despite the odd heavy edging to the hair. I like the colours in it.

@Saddles: "references" as in homages and appropriations of other anime series.. for example when the main character finds the persecom girl she is wrapped up in white bandages for no apparent reason other than to look alot like a scene from Elfen Lied (havent seen all of either series so you dont have to take my word on that though). also, while humanoid computers are very popular in anime, i still see the fact that the persecoms can link up via a cable from the back of their neck as an obvious GITS reference.

Really?? But Jin and Mugen are so .... cool. theres no other word for it, theyre just really cool. Fuu plays the most important part in character dynamics and relationships i guess. and it is her story fueling the main plot but that might be why i like the others more..

I really like this picture. A lot. The background is absolutely gorgeous, and the lighting and shading is very well-done. The only thing I don't like in the entire picture is her nose, but I've never been fond of the typical "anime nose" or whatever you want to call it.

Is the picture from anything in particular?

Mizuho from Onegai Teacher!

And yeah, that's a really gorgeous picture, even more so because she doesn't have that ridiculous G-cup boobs of hers.

On the subject of cat ears, I don't lik them either. Personally, I never saw the allure of girls with animal features like tails, ears, etc etc, but then I'm no fan of cosplay either, so that may be it.

I'm kinda old-fashioned, I prefer my girls traditional and sweet, compared to leather tights and sexy looks (turns me off, actually).
