Kobato

[Ishbalan]

I have a stinking feeling that this show is going to get hard gay in the near future.

They've basically murdered the original plot, but I still like watching Kobato. It's like a really bad fan-fiction that you can't help but read.

Spoiler :

(Ahh, sweet Domoto. He'd probably never confess in the manga considering HE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE HER. Kobato and Domoto have met maybe 3 times in the manga? Eh, it's a cute couple, too bad it'll never happen.

I dropped this a few episodes ago ... too gay, even for me.

Its really too bad that this series isn't going at a faster pace. =( It just seems like they've been stalling a lot through this show (now, I haven' t read the manga, so I wouldn't know.)
Though I do admit that I really loved the latest episode. Kobato's VA's singing performance for that one song seemed a lot better this time around (some of the other times, her voice really creaked when she hit those high notes.) This time it was nice and smooth. ^_^

LMFAO
Latest episode was good. The nostalgia. Good development from the last episode, which really sucked, imho. That whole singing scene in the end was stupid. Well, nothing wrong with the singing, just the stupid random sparkles and feathers.

Clamp is being Clamp again.

I feel out of the loop for having not seen Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.

Latest episode was without a doubt the best of the series.

I... I'm not sure about that. So far the early episodes have been my favorites (especially the one with the young girl, guy, and how they ended up walking under an umbrella together.)

Spoiler :

The only difference between episode 22 and the rest of the episodes was that Kobato's feelings for Fujimoto became more apparent. The depressing slowness was still there, and the time limit was mentioned again.

I'll say that even by the end of this, this series is at least average. It needed more though. =|

Double post, sorry.

I watched the final two episodes, which could arguably be the best two episodes in the entire anime.
I wasn't feeling the ending, though.

Spoiler :

I loved the concept that she was dead and wanted to be reborn, but Fujimoto's actions just didn't convince me enough. I know the manga is ongoing, so I'm honestly wondering if this was like a point in the manga? From what I've heard, not a lot has happened. Did they make the ending up?
Also, did anyone besides me find it a little random and possibly stupid that Kobato's one wish was to be reborn with the one she loved when she hadn't even met the one she loved when she made that wish? I thought she was going to Heaven or something to meet up with some guy she really cared about! When she met Fujimoto, I imagined it would be her father or something (becase clearly she wanted to tell Fujimoto she loved him.)

Aaargh. This anime had so much potential, but the execution was just plain ridiculous.

[Taite]

latest episode was lame.

Spoiler :

I've read the manga, and still am, and I must say, since episode 6 it has been nothing like the manga. Kobato doesn't even have 8 pieces of candy in her bottle yet. Domoto doesn't like her, or rather it hasn't been revealed if its true. Kobato has realized her love for Fujimoto, but that's where the last chapter left off, basically. Last few at least. Half the stuff that happens in the anime does not happen in the manga. The anime was overall muuuuuuuch too fast. And I agree, I don't think Fujimoto was convincing at all, prolly because it was just too fast. All the progress made in the anime is completely made up as far as I am concerned, unless they have contact with the mangakas so they don't mess up the anime, which I hope they do.
It was interesting while it lasted, because I did want to see Kobato and Fujimoto's relationship develop more. The manga is just slow, so I watched the anime as a substitute. It's just lame though. The manga will end differently I bet. Hopefully better than this anime will.
