This is my second time reading this series, since I wanted to review it. Plus, even when she's clothed, she has outfits like the one shown above, which shows off her underwear. Chii has no qualms about nakedness, so she undresses all of the time (not to mention what one has to do to turn her on). Not only that, but there is a ton of fan service. However, the whole series is about these sexualized personal computers, essentially robots. Everything is beautiful, dark (yes, I know it's black and white, but it conveys a dark mood as well, smart alec!), and ornate. The artwork in this series is completely gorgeous, done in the same style as the two series already mentioned. Chobits is actually one of the more straightforward examples of a CLAMP work, based on my experience with this manga artist group. They're good, but they're almost always convoluted, creepy and downright strange. If you're familiar with CLAMP, then you already know that they write some seriously crazy, confusing stories (See: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, XXXholic). This review is for the series as a whole:

Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Kael’s essay, among other things, was a kind of backhanded meditation on the inner meaning of what a screenplay is. Because even once you accept that Orson Welles did deserve the co-screenplay credit for “Citizen Kane,” there’s a question that lingers, and it’s the mystery that I think Kael tried (unsuccessfully) to poke at. Carringer in his 1978 article “The Scripts of Citizen Kane” (which became absorbed into his riveting book “The Making of Citizen Kane,” published in 1985) and by sources like Peter Bogdanovich in his eye-opening 1972 Esquire magazine piece “The Kane Mutiny.” Both offer definitive evidence that Welles was intimately involved in the writing of “Citizen Kane.” And both serve as a rebuke to the writer who first lit the controversy on fire: Pauline Kael, the great film critic - to me, she’ll always be the greatest film critic - who in her 50,000-word essay “Raising Kane,” originally published in The New Yorker in 1971, made a rare fatal blunder by fudging facts and systematically overstating Mankiewicz’s contribution to the movie. In fact, the answers to all this were nailed down long ago, by Robert L. Drawing from a broad spectrum of traditions including botany, music and philosophy, his thinking has influenced subsequent generations of educational thinkers – and permeates the practice of informal educators. What can such a man offer educators? The answer is that his work offers great insight. At times he found living among people difficult, preferring the solitary life. Apparently unable to bring up his own children, he committed them to orphanages soon after birth. Why should those concerned with education study Rousseau? He had an unusual childhood with no formal education. We explore Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s life and contribution. His novel Émile was the most significant book on education after Plato’s Republic, and his other work had a profound impact on political theory and practice, romanticism and the development of the novel.

They’re pragmatic folks, though, and there’s a funeral to be planned, plus Christmas is just around the corner. What was Cam doing by the grave, and what was his Land Cruiser doing nine kilometers away, still fully stocked with supplies, with the keys left neatly on the front seat? The Brights' mother, Liz, is devastated, and Cam has also left behind his wife, Ilse, and two young daughters, Sophie and Lo. Cam’s older brother, Nathan, and their baby brother, Bub, are as perplexed as the cop who’s come all the way from Brisbane to investigate. His body is eventually spotted, via helicopter, curled up by the stockman’s grave, the source of plentiful, and persistent, local ghost stories. When 40-year-old Cameron sets out on his own, ostensibly to fix a repeater mast, he never comes home. It’s a vast, unforgiving environment, and no one ever goes far without a full complement of supplies. The three Bright brothers are the overseers of 3,500 square kilometers of land in Queensland, with hours between each of their homes.
