Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow this is good vol1
Review: I just got this anime at a store today. Its a really hard to story to follow. It strongley suggests 17+ due to some weird scenes. It has 3episodes on DVD.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Content bordering on hentai
Review: This one is definitely not for kids. 17++ for sure. Further, the animation is a little rough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sexy anime just as I like it: funny, and with a good plot.
Review: To best sum up what this show is like, think of an adult-only CHOBITS or HAND MAID MAY. (You may note the title also sounds quite a bit like the name of the 1960s show I DREAM OF GENIE, whcih also delt with the theme of an ordinary guy with an other wourldly girlfriend.)

Akira is a steriotypical nerd: scrawny build, white, button-down shirt, glasses, socially inept, and obsessed with computers. He lives at home, and he has been saving up for three years to buy a computer model 9821, the latest model. However, he then learns the store has sold out it's last copy. Depressed, he heads home, then is stopped by a shady street peddler. The man offers to sell Akira a large box which he claims contains a 9821, and the boy rather foolishly accepts, handing over his hard-earned money. Only later after taking the box home and opening it does Akira discover that instead of a computer, there appears to be a naked teenage girl. Akira is devistated, thinking he wasted his money on a sex doll, but then the girl comes to life, telling him that she is, in fact, a computer (android might be more acurate,) that she is a model 2198, and, worst of all, now that he's opened the package, she's recognized him as her master and she can't be returned. He's upset by this at first, but soon he grows rather found of her. The girl's model name is Pixie (he renames her Mimi later on) and to expand her memory she must have sex with him, wether he likes it or not. (So much for saving himself for marrage!)

Things get more interesting when Mimi and Akira must face hostile 2198s, including a trio of masterless "sisters", three 2198s from the U.S. who want to take over the Japanese computer market. (Some people might be uncomfertable with the theme of American characters as the villains, though I didn't mind.) Mimi and Akira must at times enter the virtual computer world ala TRON to do battle with their enemies. Funny situations occur when we discover Mimi has emotions-happiness, sadness, and even jealousy. (Such as when Akira has an advance made on him by a female classmate, or when he spends alot of time playing on a standard computer.) And when Mimi meets Akira's friends and then goes to his school as a student. All in all, it's lots of fun.
