It’s easy to understand why the second title of Buttobi CPU is “I Dream of Mimi”. Mimi is this hi-tech computer that looks, feels, and acts exactly like the most beautiful human girl ever born. Ah, but of course, she has her oddities. She’s also your homegrown genie in a box. She can do anything from fixing your home, granting near impossible needs, even act as your extremely obedient love slave. Don’t make her jealous, though, because she can sure pack a nasty punch, especially when she’s just newly upgraded. Sounds familiar? You bet! Except for the computer part (not to mention the sex), Mimi is definitely like Jeannie of the 1960s American comedy sitcom entitled “I Dream of Jeannie”.

I found Buttobi CPU a very entertaining piece of work. Perhaps it’s not only because of Mimi, but also because of the main character Akira. A 21-year old cute nerd with a heart of gold and the luck of seven broken mirrors, Mimi couldn’t have found a better master if she tried. His appreciation for “upgrades” kicks in only during the later episodes, though, so during the first parts expect a lot of hesitation and virginal blushes from this adorable innocent.

The hentai aspect is defined mostly by symbolisms. The private parts are well concealed…sometimes. On other times, the censors actually miss. This can actually pass for R instead of NC-17, but I think even those who are totally after hentai sequences alone can enjoy the sheer hilarity of Buttobi CPU.

NOTE: For other anime related to this theme, you can also check out Dutch Wife 28 (Mail Order Maiden) and Sexorcist. Though belonging to different genres, they take seriously the “I’m a slave for you” slogan.
