----------------------------------------
Does anyone else really not care about Fujimoto? I honestly can't care less about how his background life is. To be honest, I'm greatly disappointed with Kobato (the anime, not hte character). Started out so promisingly, but it's now an episodic thing, and it's not even all that heartwarming as a slice of life should be
Fujitmoto fixing chairs. Sayaka asked him if he is still attending university. He said yes. Then they heard Kobato, like usual, fell! Fujimoto gave her the tower.
Kobato is going to help Fujimoto with fixing the chairs. She's messy with painting! She wanted to ask him something but he said just concentrate on painting. He finally led her ask. She asked about that phone call cannot be known to Sayaka. He said if she cannot keep secret then don't come anymore. He finally said that Sayaka will be painful if she knows about the phone call. Then Kobato accidentally dripped some paint on her fingers, cloths, nose, then spilled the paint.
Kobato went into the kindergarten and told the children she got scolded. They are going to accompany Kobato for apology to Fujimoto. She was encouraged by them to apologize to Fujimoto.
After painting, Fujimoto got his things and left, while he accidentally dropped something and didn't notice.
They found Fujimoto not here anymore, Kobato found his thing. Sayaka said it's Fujimoto's report. She asked Kobato to deliver the report to Fujimoto.
Kobato is going to prove that she's not the one always troubling Fujimoto, so she is going to deliver it. Kobato even don't know what university is! Ioryougi explained what is university to Kobato.
Kobato is shocked at many people in the university and even compared with Yomogi kindergarten.
Kobato is lost in the university! Then she saw Fujimoto at the next building arguing with someone.
When she went to the next building for Fujimoto, she bumped into a guy. He got the report that Kobato dropped and said if she is a friend with Fujimoto. She said not really a friend. He said he is, kind of, like Kobato. He is Takashi Doumoto. So he's the guy who got Fujimoto angry (the scene where Fujimoto arguing with someone), so he ran away.
After some talk, Doumoto suggested to search for Fujimoto together.
(Wait this part is different from manga... setting that meeting Doumoto is different!!)
Two girls came to Doumoto for help on the report, and he said ok.
Fujimoto, unfortunately, is not in the class. When Doumoto said when they saw him, please tell him that Doumoto is searching for him, the classmates said impossible because Fujimoto's seems-angry face is scary.
According to Doumoto, Fujimoto doesn't need others' help since he was young. Fujimoto is angry because Doumoto suggested something about his future.
In Kindergarten, a boy is bored with only Sayaka supervising, then Chitose and her girls came to deliver what she made.
In the library, the guy asked Doumoto's help on convincing an instructor for him after being asked whereabout Fujimoto.
Doumoto went for the instructor next. The problem is solved. Kobato said Doumoto is sugoi! He said "Should I say, thank you?"
Kindergarteners are playing with Chitose's twins!
Chitose said it's like Kobato (Kobato rashii) after hearing why both Fujimoto and Kobato are not here.
Twins are hard to identify and one of the girls, not knowing which one, got caught by the one who's doing oni.
Chitose showed her ways to help Sayaka from the debt because she wants to protect the kindergarten. All three of them went there.
They finally found Fujimoto in a lecture hall and found him arguing with two girls. He's refusing their request for help. Kobato says how could he say such a cruel thing to the girls after she saw what happened. Kobato gave him the report angrily and left.
Now she's regret about saying such things to Fujimoto. Doumoto found her and talked to her about Fujimoto. Doumoto is jealous of Kobato for being able to say the right things honestly to Fujimoto even though just knowing him for a short time. Kobato said Doumoto has good things, too, like kind to others. He said that's not kind, it's just him being unable to refuse them. He said Fujimoto is a strong person who is not afraid of being not liking by other people.
Kobato said being afraid is sad/lonely and being hated is painful. Is it wrong to be saved? What's wrong with wanting other's help? Therefore, Kobato said Doumoto is a good, kind person. He said thanks and said Kobato is an unique person.
lol @ mentioning about Ioryougi being able to talk!! They parted with Doumoto going for two girls who asked him to help on report.
One more has been added!! That's because of approving Doumoto's kindness!
Ioryougi scolded for Kobato mentioning about him! He gave her 30...
Next day, Fujimoto said thanks to Kobato (about the report). Sayaka laughed at his usual way of expressing his gratitude. He's trying his best to thank her. The children who Kobato talked in the beginning of anime said Fujimoto is actually kind. Kobato said Fujimoto is unique.
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
It was a nice episode. This time I was actually genuinely surprised about Kobato getting another 'candy'! I didn't see it coming at all.
I haven't read the manga, so I can't compare anything. I lul'd at the double-Chii's hide-and-seek game with the kids. I wondered before they started whether the kids would get the two twins confused. XP
The story(bout the shark loan ) move very slow.....but story ain't the main attraction of this anime i guess. I enjoy this episode 5/5 ^^(actually i enjoy all episode)
I'm sorry but I hate twins in anime especially when they serve no other purpose besides unnecessary fanservice :P
I liked the episode a lot. I can't believe Koboto told Domoto about Ioryogi being a talking stuffed animal xD She's such a ditz! lol I think Fujimoto's got issues. He helps the children all the time and is nice to Sayaka, but he won't help his classmates at his university? What's up with that?
I love the twins ^^
And Kobato tlaking to domoto about ioryogi was lol,= 30 points.
Thats why fujimoto has few or 1 friend cause he looks always angry etc
anyway alright episode My favorite part was when kobato was painting the chair lol
I thought the episode was kind of uneeded. The appearance of the twins held nothing but stupid fanservice, which I could care less about, I'm trying to watch Kobato.!
It seemed forever that Kobato stuck around with Domoto the whole dayyy. Boringgg episode... So uneeded... I need more Kobato-Fujimoto lovin'!
I really like this episode. One of my biggest beef with people like Kobato is that if you are kind and try to help people, people will only end up abusing your kindness in the end. It's great to see Domoto being a victim of helping other people, and I feel really sorry for him. This side-story truly made a lot of sense and moved me, unlike the others (say, the one about the fireflies)
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.
OMG WHY? WHY IS KOBATO SO FRIGGIN' ANNOYING?? WHY DO I HATE HER SO MUCH IN THE ANIME!? I don't remember disliking her in the manga... the whole tripping every 5 seconds is NOT cute. WHY CLAMP? WHY?
Didn't Fujimoto drop out of college in the manga? Well not like it matters. THE ONLY "PERSON" WORTH IT IN THIS ANIME IS IOYOGI. He needs more screentime :| Fujimoto is MEH. This episode was probably the most boring one yet.
Ever since Black Lagoon, blonde twins are so hot. Couldn't stop thinking they were the sadistic Romanian twins and at any moment were going to kill someone.

hahaha I agree i laughed so hard when she was talking about ioryogi san
I lol'd at the whatever-his-face guy who's helping Kobato to look for Fujimoto. Strange guy.
And lol at the fact that Kobato gained a konpeito just from that xD...
Gaaaaah! All the kids pladdering at once.. that was annoying for my ears D:
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that I hate Kobato, but I do understand you. I like both Kobato and Fujimoto in the manga, but in the anime... They kinda annoy me. :p It's hard to explain because they're not really that different from their manga self. I think they're just too exagerated in the anime, or maybe it's because they look prettier in the manga. (lol what kind of reason is that?)
Okay... This felt like a mediocre episode, somehow... I don't think there was any part of the episode that I actually liked... And um, did we really need to see the Chii-twins playing hide-and-go-seek with the little kids? I sort of felt like, "Can we focus a bit more on the actual story instead of more hide-and-go-seek?" :|
I did want to know more about Fujimoto though. Why's he such a jerk? He can say "no" in a nicer way, so why doesn't he? Hmmm. Maybe there was more progression than I thought and it's just escaping me. XD Hopefully I like the next episode more...
Lmfao Kobato told Domoto about Ioryogi and while Kobato was saying that, Ioryogi's grunt in the sidelines made me crack up, lolol. Aaah Kobato, not only you're clumsy but also clueless and innocent, lol.
Okay so I think that's just Fujimoto's personality. He's having a hard time telling what he really feels but deep inside he's still a very nice person. I loved how the girls from college got mad at him for refusing. Fucking shit they were the ones that were asking for help and now they get all mad and such just because Fujimoto refused? Wow.
The lovely blonde twins showed up again yay. The funny thing was that when they were playing hide and seek. They have the same face so the children couldn't tell which is who, rofl.

yeah, i don't care much for the anime, but don't dismiss this series --read the manga! it's really good!
--anyway, i thought the whole "metrosexual" thing was a little harsh (poor Doumoto...)
This episode moved incredibly slowly, but for some reason I liked it. Domoto strikes me as a typical one-dimensional nice guy, though since most of the grown males in this series are jerks, he was a refreshing change of pace.
Yay, more Chiho and Chise!
I'm amazed at how Sayaka can leave the kids all alone without any supervision. The nursery really needs to be shut down if that happens all the time.

I actually agree more with Fujimoto in that classroom seen than Kobato, granted he may not always be right to be angry since it appears he always is but i can't even count how many lazy classmates (girls or boys) I've seen trying to leech off of others since they don't want to put the effort themselves... well anyhow it appears to be a solid show, I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes
Fukimoto is just really starting to become an unlikeable character for me, need some more background on him... even if its just to explain why he's such a depressed penis!
The epsiode as a whole was okayish, a tad boring.... but she got another candy, one which I wasn't actually expecting so...
