So they are essentially personal assistant robots. In this world, personal computers exist in a human form. Hideki Motosuwa is a farm boy who fails the entrance exams for university, so he moves to Tokyo in order to attend a "cram" school that helps students get into university for real. So it has that distinctive Clamp art style and story vibes going on. While we don't think the English dub is quite as charming as the Japanese original, it's still pretty good! Chobits is a product of CLAMP!, a studio that's consistently produced some fantastic titles, such as Angelic Layer, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Cardcaptor Sakura. This is one of our personal all-time favorite shows, and it's now available as an English dubbed version. If you like the mythology of the British isles and appreciate fantasy with a dark, romantic edge, then the dubbed version of this show is an excellent choice.
The Ancient Magus' Bride is a hauntingly beautiful show that's filled with both wonder and dread. By providing her with artifacts and training her in the use of magic, he hopes to extend her lifespan. The ancient magus takes her in, both as his betrothed and as his apprentice. The girl is also what's known as a "sleigh beggy." This means she has immense magical potential, but the constant flow of magic into her body severely shortens her lifespan. She's bought by a creature who wants to learn more about what it means to be a human. This is an excellent dark fantasy tale about a Japanese girl who lets herself be auctioned off at a supernatural auction. It's a missed opportunity, but in general, the dub is acceptable otherwise. Set in England and therefore copacetic to an English dub, yet strangely the dub cast has American accents. This show has flown below too many romance anime fan radars, and that needs to change. Watch Dubbed on Crunchyroll, VRV & Anime Planet.You'll have to watch the show to see how well he navigates that particular gauntlet. Arata, for example, isn't supposed to get romantically involved with high schoolers. He needs to take a drug that will make him look young again on the outside, and this will let him go back to high school, where the idea is that he can fix whatever's wrong with him psychologically.Īs you can imagine, being a grown man in a teenager's body raises some issues. The catch is that he has to take part in an experiment. One day a man named Ryo shows up and offers Arate a job. He's also a NEET, someone not actually looking for a job.
The main character of ReLIFE, Arata, is a bit of a pathetic character. So if you're 35, you won't be making the 100m sprint with your middle-aged lungs. Do you ever wish you could go back in time and relive your childhood with your adult brain and knowledge? In ReLIFE, the technology exists to make someone look like they should be in high school on the outside, though sadly, people who take the drug are still the same age on the inside. ReLIFE has a pretty interesting premise, although perhaps some troubling implications as well.
