protocal	post #1  on August 4, 2003 - 11:54 AM PDT   Does anyone know how many episodes there are in Chobits? 26 or 13? Also where can I find the dvd release dates as well. Thanks in advance for any help. Kind of offtopic, but any other anime similiar to Chobits that isn't video girl ai(seen it) or Oh my Goddess(also saw it)?

protocal	post #8  on August 5, 2003 - 4:15 AM PDT   Ok thanks guys added all those anime so that should keep my queue up and going for a while. Off topic, but I'd rather not make a new topic does anyone know if Mermaid Scar is on DVD? I saw it a while back on VHS and I wanted to get it so my little brother could see it.
larbeck	post #9  on August 5, 2003 - 8:21 AM PDT   Attention otaki! aacevedo works hard to maintain this most important list of when the latest anime is coming! Bookmark it today! Thanks, again, aacevedo!
surrealserene	post #10  on August 5, 2003 - 8:58 AM PDT   Steel Angel Kurumi, Mamotte Syugogetten, UFO Princess Warukyure (Valkyrie), Happy Lesson, Ai Yori Aoshi, Rizelmine, Sister Princess, Mahoromatic, and Hand Maid May. are in that genre, or are at least similar in tone. Also, a couple of these titles aren't yet released on R1s' yet, but can be acquired through other methods.
dpowers	post #11  on August 5, 2003 - 10:05 AM PDT   now that is an answer to a question. okay to the other question, no, mermaid's scar isn't out on DVD here. it looks like it might be in france. there's a translated manga...
