Chi Awakens is the first episode of the first season of the anime show Chobits. The show follows the story of Hideki Motosuwa, a student who has just moved to the city to attend a cram school with hopes of passing his entrance exams and getting into a university. Hideki is a bit of a country bumpkin, and is having trouble adjusting to life in the city.

Hideki comes across a discarded personal computer in a trash heap, and takes it home with him. As he explores his new possession, he discovers that the computer is actually an advanced humanoid robot, or "persocom". These robots are designed to look and act like humans, and are used for a variety of purposes, such as housekeeping and entertainment.

Hideki is amazed by his new discovery and decides to turn on the persocom. The robot, which has red eyes and a unique appearance, seems to be defective and unable to communicate or even move. Hideki decides to call the robot "Chi", and begins to try and figure out what is wrong with her.

As Hideki tries to get Chi working, he encounters a series of strange events and characters. He meets his neighbor, an attractive older woman named Hiromi, who seems to know a lot about persocoms and is suspicious of Chi. He also meets a group of young men who are interested in persocoms, and who tell him that Chi is a rare and valuable model.

Despite these challenges, Hideki persists in his efforts to get Chi working. He manages to download a program that might help fix her, but he needs a connection to the internet to do so. At a cafe, he meets a woman named Yumi, who offers to help him connect to the internet. During their conversation, Yumi reveals that she is a "chobit", a special kind of persocom that is capable of feelings and emotions.

As the episode comes to a close, Hideki finally manages to get Chi up and running. However, he quickly discovers that there is something unusual about her. She seems to have a mind of her own, and is able to communicate with him in a way that other persocoms cannot.

Overall, Chi Awakens is a captivating and intriguing introduction to the world of Chobits. The episode sets up the central mystery of the show - what is Chi, and why is she different from other persocoms? - and introduces a cast of compelling characters who are sure to play a role in Hideki and Chi's journey. The show has a unique mix of romance, sci-fi, and comedy, making it a must-watch for fans of any of those genres.
