A Person Just For Me


"Do you still watch Chobits?" Christina-Ann asked me the other day.

To be honest, I hadn't even thought of the show in the 3 years since she moved away, but thinking about it now gave me an odd feeling.
You see, Chobits is one of those shows that people watch, but dont often understand. Its about this man living in Tokyo in an age where each person has a personalized computer robot, specialized to make each person's dreams come true. Heidiki can't afford his own chobit, but ends up finding one abandoned in an alley. This chobit is Chii, an innocent blonde robot, intent on making Heidiki's every wish come true. As the story progresses, Chii falls in love with Heidiki, and goes on many adventures with him and her friend Sumomo. Little does Heidiki realize though that Chii is special; a prototype with a confusing past and a book called A Person Just For Me chronicaling her life (ironically this is her favorite book).
Anyways, Chobit's is just one of those shows that has so much meaning packed into each 3o minute morsal that as soon as CA brought it up, I couldnt help but feel a connection with Chii again; searching for someone who will love me for who I am.
My only question is, does a perosn like that exist...?
