This installment revisits the poignant world of Chobits, offering a deeper exploration of its core themes. The narrative centers around Hideki Motosuwa, who encounters a Chobito – an android designed for companionship – named Chico. This recap episode delves into their evolving relationship and the societal implications surrounding artificial intelligence and emotional connection.
Set in a near-future Japan, the series presents a contemplative atmosphere, examining questions of what constitutes humanity, love, and consciousness.

User _Kaorinite (Score: 6/10):
I bet you thought this was just a recap like i did yes? In actuality, it is both a recap AND a sequel to the Chobits anime. (At the time of writing MAL has it listed as JUST a recap and nothing says its a sequel even though it is...) There really isn't much to say about this since its mostly a recap with the start, middle and end all being the sequel. This sequel takes place 2 years later from the end of the Chobits anime. Its as good as the prequel imo, however, because the recap was completely unnecessary, this lowers the overallrating I have for it. If you liked the Chobits anime I'd recommend seeing this sequel/recap, you can just skip the recap parts but be careful you don't miss the new material being the sequel parts. For a sequel it would've been nicer to see more but its better than nothing I suppose. My Love Score is 7.0 but my rating for it is 6.0 due to the recap part being unnecessary.
