| What I don't understand is how the snowman got over there in the first place.. >_> |
     |
| Don't underestimate the healing powers of phone straps. |: > No, seriously, maybe it fell out her window or something. I dunno. Or it's a magical healing snowman. I personally prefer the latter theory. Cute one this time, though it's also episodic. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind episodic-ness, especially when it's chock full of slice-of-life elements. Enjoyed the episode for what it was, and I can deal with the fact that the plot is almost nonexistent. 4/5 |
| - |
| I want funner episodes. Disappointing festival ending. 2.5/5 It's the silly healing plots, not Kobato. |
| A nice slice of life episode....but I wouldn't mind if they included more of the main plot (besides collecting scarred hearts). Still an enjoyable episode though. |
| kobato dunno what is Hanabi...... hana=flower bi=fire flower in fire .......... I think natsuki feel she is inferior than her friend....but its natsuki that motivate her in the first place -.- DRAMA....long time since i watch those I feel sad for Ioryogi in the last.He is completely ignore for the first time(well Ioryogi suppose to be ignore btw except kobato) |

| This is getting sadder by the episode. Problems with teh episode include: 1) Snowman keychain mysteriously goes into the garbage can, even though its supposed to be far away from it, and no one has been seen touching it 2) Kobato gains psychic abilities to sense the keychain behind a pail 3) What normal person would let a stranger that you only knew for a few seconds into the house? I really wish it the storyline can pick up soon, because it's a really really poor slice-of-life. Man I miss Aria... |

| Honestly, I haven't been terribly impressed with Kobato since it started, but even so, the other episodes were at least entertaining enough for me to sit through and enjoy. This episode was just....boring. I ended up spreading it out over several hours because it was hard to sit down and watch it from beginning to end without feeling bored. I think part of it is that each episode is quite predictable. Two girls having difficulty with their friendship? It should be obvious that Kobato will find some way to help them out. After all, that's her purpose in the story. So, when the drama escalated to Natsuki and Kobato searching through garbage (ew?), it didn't feel dramatic at all...because we all knew they'd find the cell phone strap and everything would be ok in the end. Furthermore, this episode didn't make much sense to me. I still don't see how Natsuki and Yukino got into that situation. Despite Natsuki's explanation, I still don't see what the big deal was. There was no real conflict, just a strange avoidance. So why so much drama? |
| Episode started, I was looking elsewhere. OP song finished and I looked up at screen. Saw a Kobato with black hair and was like WTH. It was to-be-healed-person-of-the-week Natsuki, lol. |
 |
| ok episode...it aint ARIA good slice of life but ok.... Wish they would pick up the plot already...because yes...Kobato has one http://gamesmind.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/kobato-09-a-kodak-moment/ my blog on it -__- |
| I love Kobato's summer outfit! ^.^ Her pigtails look cute :P I wish there was more KobatoxFujimoto development though :( |

| Oh... by far one of the best episodes so far. One of the things you learn while growing up is that people change, and childhood friends eventually will end up as strangers. Nonetheless, it's nice to see that they made up with each other at the end. I wasn't too impressed with the snowman strap mysteriously ended up by the garbage cans, though. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Lol, this episode was good since I can actually understand the main characters. i was just wondering, how the heck did the strap became the necklace!? |
    |
| Kobato is cute with braids. Though, she usually is adorable in general. Her reaction to the fireworks at the end was entertaining. The only thing was the situation between Yukino and Natsuki was a bit confusing. The explanation wasn't really done well, so I don't really understand what was wrong. Yukino was becoming more and more interested in photography and then... what? She was avoiding Natsuki because of her interest in photography? :/ |
| This has to be my favorite episode so far, and it wasn't even that interesting. At all. Like everyone else has been asking, how the HELL did that phone strap end up THERE..? Oh well. Hopefully the episodes keep progressively getting better. |

Spazzcase said: Yukino was becoming more and more interested in photography and then... what? She was avoiding Natsuki because of her interest in photography? :/ On hte contrary, it was Natsuki avoiding Yukino because she felt that she no longer understood her best friend. Happens alot in real life, believe me, I see it happening all the time. -.-'' |
| "Hanabi?" LOL. Kobato misunderstood fireworks.. How did the Snowman end up somewhere in the garbage cans??! Kobato was cute in braids.. |
| What a terrible episode. Natsuki started explaining why they aren't friends, and I was thinking, "You're mad because she found a hobby and made two more friends? This has nothing to do with her, bitch. It's on you" That even Kobato couldn't figure that out, and even Iroyogi said, "How can someone else help" was absolute garbage. Speaking of garbage, the music that was playing while she rummaged through the trash was laughably exaggerating the scene. |

Yukari_Hiwada said: How did the Snowman end up somewhere in the garbage cans??!. Probably fell off from the window and drop right next to the rubbish dump OR It fell off from the rubbish can while dumping into to rubbish dump since the snowman is too small. Well in anyway,did you notice that kobato's luck is better than everyone's else? Even though she is clumsy and kinda lack of common sense but she always complete her task in the right order. ~~天然天才ボケ少女コハト~~ |
noteDhero said: Speaking of garbage, the music that was playing while she rummaged through the trash was laughably exaggerating the scene. I thought that music was hilarious too. It is possible I will drop this show soon. |
| ... too episodic. I dunno, the standalone slice-of-life bits are okay but I'd really really like to see an overarching story right about now. This show would be a terrible show to marathon because of its repetitiveness =/. Also, panicked girls rummaging through garbage. Oh the suspense! |

| What an idiotic episode. She got jealous because her friend found a hobby and two more friends, what a female dog. Who needs a friend like that. |
 |
| Nice episode. Sayaka and Chitose were so beautyful in their yukatas... Ahh <3 |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Another cute episode and I really liked it. I can tell you that Natsuki avoids Yukino for her good reason, yet Kobato can’t figure the problem out. I am guess that Natsuki worries that Yukino might lose her as best friend. I wonder how did the snowman end up somewhere in the garbage cans. |

| I got a few laughs out of the episode. Specifically "flower...fire?" and Kobato wringing out Ioriyogi. |
| This was a great ep, I realy like it. |
| Kobato has a new outfit hooray I liked this ep it felt like more than 23:45 in a positive way. I loled when Kobato escaped from the teacher Natsuki was afraid of losing Yukino as her best friend, I understood this feeling. The ending was really nice in my opinion,, the scene with sending the picture of the snowman was very well done. Lol @ the bashors ; P |

 ^KOBATO! WHAT WERE YOU DOING?! O_O!!!! I thought this cute little show was rated G. |
| Hana-bi. Kobato's idea of fireworks was funny. Ioryogi couldn't use his firebreath thanks to the bath, well done Kobato. Quite stupid of her to first tell her name and then run away. Seems like Natsuki was just jealous. At least they got back together. Yay for more konpeito. Kire desu~. |

| Uuh. I'm not feeling very motivated to watch this, even though it's rather good when I take the time to do so.. Strange O.o I wonder if I should watch ep. 10 too after this.. Hanabi~ ┐（￣ー￣）┌ Oh lol ┐(-｡ｰ')┌ This was actually worth some "Naaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww" ( ﾟ,_ゝﾟ) Oh, Chii-twins in yukata's made it all worth it ヽ(´Д｀ヽ) -200 points! ⊂( ﾟヮﾟ)⊃ |
| 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. |
| Aww sweet episode. :) |
 |
| Kobato got candy from this? It seemed more like they healed themselves... I, too, am baffled at how the snowman phone strap got outside by the garbage cans. <_< The last we saw of it, it fell off the frame and onto the desk. And it stayed there... Or so we all though. Enjoyable episode, nevertheless. It was nice that in addition to the "I'm sorry" text, Natsuki sent a picture of the snowman strap too. |
| Awww that was a sugary sweet episode about friendship, I loved it! ^_^ |
| Oh shit Yukino still got that watermelon Natsuki gave her in the past. I thought she threw it away and changed it to a camera key chain but later on found out that she was wearing it in her neck the whole time, lol. So Yukino didn't start the fight and Natsuki did? How the fuck did that happen? I say they both started the fight. Yukino avoided Natsuki so Natsuki got jealous and started to rebel and went crazy, akekeke. That's how I took it, lol. Did Kobato got another Konpeito in the end? I didn't hear her talk about it. Probably because she was too busy looking at the fireworks, lmao. |
| Chiho and Chise are still the best characters in this show. imo. Moonfrost said: Did Kobato got another Konpeito in the end? I didn't hear her talk about it. Probably because she was too busy looking at the fireworks, lmao. She did. She got 2 more I think. |
| no story progression but still a lovely ep! i have to say, this is by far my favorite ep to this point --let's hope to keep this pace up!<3 |
| Luv the summer dress of kobato and her braided hair she also looks so cute in yukata^^ |
| Sweet episode, the story was really great! |
 |
| I liked this episode, but how the hell did the strap get there and how did Kobato find it? The rest of the episode was great though and I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Terrible episode. Cheesy teen angst at its finest. |
