While the hide and seek almost makes me sleep, but the build up on Ioryogi and his fellow friend is interesting

I thought the hide and seek part was cute actually and I was really enjoying the scene where Ioryogi was in this "other world" or whatever with all these crazy creatures despite them being furries. I hope we learn more about them in later episodes

And Ioryogi's mad face is win. Hands down.

I'm a bandwagon whore

OMG. Ioryogi blushed! Anyone caught that? It was so cute. =3

Overall, a very cute episode. I really like the bond Kobato has made with the kids, Marina-chan especially. They're all so cute.

There was a lot of development going on this episode. I'm mostly interested in what and why Ioryogi got punished for and who "he" is. But for now, I think saving the nursery is top priority.

Ioryogi is awesome! I laughed so hard when he gobbled down the bread ^_^;

The entrance to the bakery being located behind a lamp post reminded me so much of a particular episode of xxxholic... the one about the dreambuyer or something I think.

Many things makes sense now. Ioryogi's story made him seem less annoying since he was some kind of bastard before his cute form (and still is). The pace is picking up with action and character development. Interested on what will happen next.

I want to say I borderline liked this episode because of all the absurdity with Ioryogi's little side story, but the crap with Kobato and hide-and-seek was far too annoying. She only has a year, and I don't feel like she made any attempt to help anyone (even Sayoko) out this week. All she did was mope that what's his name told her not to say anything.

It was another nice and cute episode. It sometimes feels like she's collecting compeito (or w/e it's called) while other times, she's just playing with the nursery. Anyways, I'm real curious about the debt that the nursery is in.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

So I wasn't the only one who noticed xD Yeah, Yuuko and Watanuki used the same method to get to the alternate dimension (or wherever that was) to find the dreambuyer.

The whole bit with the four-leaf clovers also reminded me of Clover - a flour-leaf clover will bring happiness.

Anyway, the episode was fairly good. I still don't find Kobato's airheadedness to be amusing and the missing Marina part wasn't dramatic at all, but at least we saw some plot progression here, even if she didn't get anymore compeito. Overall, though, I find the pace of the series to be rather slow.

The Ioryogi part of the episode got me all confused. He had some awesome battle scenes there though. The hide and seek part was also extremely cute and I enjoy all the Kobato cuteness this anime offers~ x3 Also this arc is doing well so far.

Yay, at last we have plot x3
Now this is getting interesting.

And I disliked Ginsei voice. I kind of expected something lower and with even less emotion... Might get used to it but it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

Oh lol Kobato really is a klutz xD But I suppose that's part of what makes her cute x)

Wat where the heck did Ioryogi go? xD
Also Ginsei looks kinda cool, whatever he is xD

A chibi Kobato running around looking for the children was pretty cute : >

And.. "treecake"? xD Doesn't sound like it tastes too good : D

Anyways, somehow, during the span of the last and this episode, this anime suddenly went up from the lower 7/10 to close to 8 : o

This episode has a nice development for Ioryogi, but I am little confused with this part. The hide and seek part was also extremely cute, and I enjoy to watch cute Kobato moments.

I've got a feeling that the whole Kobato - loan shark with appendicitis got replaced by the field trip. I'm still waiting for Fujimoto to give Kobato his number! :))

Either way this episode was really cute, I love the lovey-dovey guy, depressed girl, and he tries to cheer her up... I liked when they couldn't find Marina, but it was a little sad.

Something about this episode seemed to bug me. For a while the series has just been cute episodic episodes (for the most part), then all of a sudden a bunch of new things are being introduced all at once. Almost like Clamp decided to throw it in at the last minute.

Ah... It was fine at first but now Kobato's total naiveté and clumsiness is kind of annoying me. DX She's still cute though.

Ioryogi's whole part of this episode was really interesting... Now I'm really looking forward to plot progression and seeing how things turn out! That fox thingy that Ioryogi fought with looked cool. :D

Whoa, now we're going somewhere. It's starting to get hot in here. The plot starts to get deeper and deeper. We get to see Ioryogi and his gangstah brothas.

Damn, so Ioryogi's form now is not his true form. I bet his true form is a bad ass and but he did something wrong so the leader or something transformed him into a stuffed toy and the only way he could go back to his form is if Kobato succeeds in her mission, nice.

The hide and seek was really fun too. I thought Marina got kidnapped by that group or something. It's good to see she was just sleeping. Unfortunately, the nursery's past is bugging Sayaka. Her father must be like "Oh I'll leave it to you Sayaka!" :(

There was a bunch of four-leaf clovers there and the little girl couldn't find any? I know she's young, but c'mon, where's the believability? :<
