There's no "It's just too simple.". I don't know why people think that about Chobits at all. I'd love to know.

Yeh, I'm really confused by that too. My guess is she's like Makoto from Ghost in the Shell - she's a cyborg, her brain preserved in the body of a robot |

I'm the one who started the whole 'Chobits' thing.
Here's how I got to that. Robots Robots helping society (Angelic Layer - sorta) Robots begin to become part of society Robots begin to dominate society Birth Rate goes down as people become less dependent on each other. Laws against robots are formed (Time of Eve / Blade Runner) Now once these laws are happening. we either get Robots reject the New Laws (Terminator / The Matrix) The New Laws are accepted and robots are dumbed down The New laws are rejected and Society accepts robots are 'partners' (Chobits). Now granted Chobits is a love comedy. But it still it still touched upon important topics. The teacher who's husband abandoned her for a robot. The boy who misses his sister so much he creates a robot in her likeness and personality. A parent who wants a child so bad they create 2 of them. And invest them with the most up to date technology Available (The Manager) I am surprised that Chobits didn't touch up birth rate issues (Which should've almost hit nil) and well XXX issues, but that was sorta touched upon. So Yes I can see how Chobits and Time of Eve are related. Chobits can happen about 100 years after Eve.

Finally got around to the last episode, and what a fantastic episode it was. Great to see how Masaki's background helped shaped his behavior and that little reunion of sorts between him and Tex was absolutely moving. The social issues it discussed and the way it forces the viewer to consider what constitutes a person is something that I can see come up once the technology becomes sufficiently advanced that the line blurs. Eve no Jikan offers a peek at what could happen and it's delightful to just be able to ponder this possibility.

A little bit of news about the series: movie time! And I was just thinking that having this series turned into a movie might give it a better chance of being licensed outside of japan, really hope it does well!

Kalafina is going to sing the theme song for the movie Time of Eve.

I'm definitely looking forward to the movie. I am impressed, it's rare that a show about robots/androids evokes an emotional response from me, but episode 4 of Eve managed to get me chuckling and then made me feel bad for doing so.. pretty rare.
I also laughed at the "animated" newspapers.. what an unlikely piece of futuretech, given how quickly newspapers are dying out. I also wonder how much Eve from Wall-E inspired Tex's design? I found the tear streaks rather gratuitous, though. |

The movie will apparently open on March 6, 2010.
There will also be a manga series that will start on February 19 in Young Gangan, a fanbook (February 26), a novel (March 18) and even an "Evlend" coffee blend. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...s-manga-series |
