BORING!

Is it just me, or did the amount of konpeito double? It's a shame that rather than see her do the whole point of the show, we watch a lot of nothing. Besides the single piece of candy, all we got from this was a hint dropped about there being something to hide under that hat.

Me too *coughsobcough* ..

I really loved this episode. The feel, philosophising about redevelopment, beautiful ginkgo tree and of course the wonderful duet! Kobato x Fujimoto was a nice bonus! ;D

Also this episode confirmed that Kobato always has a hat on...

This. I was wondering where the hell that amount of konpeito came from.

And, really... a tree? Come on!

But I liked the song [as always] and that FujiBato moment~

Even though them getting all worked up over a tree seems a bit silly, the FujiBato moment more than made up for it. I'm also curious about what will happen if Kobato ever takes off her hat.

Wow... I never thought I'd get emotional over a tree, but this episode sure did succeeded in doing so. This episode is definitely better than the other "heal people" episode. :)

Somehow, I think that this was a fairly good episode. Ok, so watching them talk and sing to a tree felt a bit ridiculous, but somehow, they still managed to make the scene feel emotional. The duet was also a nice touch and I enjoyed it.

Although, yes, I too am wondering how the hell Kobato managed to get all those konpeito...

The best episode yet.
I know it was about a tree but that's what made it so out-of-this-world strange yet beautiful, and the singing really built up the finale (I'd like to see them dub THAT). Also the hinted love interest that had always been assumed but never really proven finally showed himself, it truly was beautiful, I can only hope that it improves from here on out.

Ah, that song again. But I actually like that song, so it was fine. :)

Oh, what's this? A FujimotoxKobato moment? Not sure how I feel about that. I guess they're cute together. :) Oh, and Fujimoto actually smiled, which was nice. :D

Best Episode for me! I was so touched....
I really love trees, specially since that tree is so magnificent..
One of the things I discovered on this episode is that Kobato doesn't have memories... :O
I wonder what will happen if Kobato took her hat off too.... and where she wanna go...

A very nice episode. A few hints too like not having memories and stuff. This episode also basically confirmed she's wearing her hat for a reason.

Beautiful episode. Real shame there doesnt seem to be HD broadcasts or any indication of a BluRay.. this ep would look magnificent.

One of the first things I noticed was Kobatos wonderful outfit, I love how they change it so often.

The song was more touching than ever and while it was a tree.. I think the fact it was so "great" that it had meaning, and the ep will be better recieved by the viewers than if it was just any other tree that they happened to like.

It was emotional with a bit of a dramatic ending... Fujimoto saved Kobato from falling into the tree trunk. hah.

And yes.. shes hiding something under that hat..

I like the Hitagi X Nadeko Kobato X Kohaku duet. It definitely sounded more epic than Kobato's solo version.

LOL, Kobato should go and find a couple more trees and do the same thing... the bottle will be filled up in no time.

The episode was extremely predictable, but oh well, it's CLAMP, the whole show is predictable.

On another note: wow. We get a time gap for the season change, and she almost filled half of her bottle, while in the past episode she had 10 konpeito tops. I know they have to fill the bottle for the end of the show, but this is just lame: I'd rather have a 5 minutes slideshow with pictures of Kobato helping (like in Nyan Koi, for example) to show she did it.
But the show obviously isn't about konpeito, it's about romance and whatever, so I can only blame myself for watching this expecting something other than KobatoxFujimoto.

She's a diclonius which lost her memories, isn't it obvious?

Ok, no.

A heartwarming episode and I like the duet.

I'm alright with them not showing how she gets each konpeito since she obviously needs more than 24 and we only have 11 episodes left. I'd rather see character/relationship growth with the main characters and plot advancement, for instance the nurseries troubles, over a slide-show of konpeito hunting.

When I saw that this episode was about a tree, I told myself "oh no, not another episode let-s-save-this-great-tree". I've seen many dramas, read many books.... almost every children show had one of those "tree" episode.

Kobato pulled it well. The mix of realism (the tree hart was rotten) and magic (Kobato could feel the tree) plus the song made it a good episode.

I noticed the clues about the hat, the memory loss and how Fujimoto was protective of Kobato too. There's 11 episodes left and they're dropping clues about Kobato's past, finally :D

Not bad I guess. The fact I liked the tree in this episode more than I ever gave a damn about the previous one-shot troubled-heart-of-the-week people is something I feel should not be happening with this series.

At least now Kobato knows that she can get konpeito if she went around looking for withering flowers and weeds to heal them by giving them water or something.

Last episode was awesome, this episode is also awesome. i hope the next time, they'll amke it awesome too.

Also, Kobato's candy doubled! WTF.

I laughed at the song, Kana Hanazawa can't do high notes, and Kohaku just says 'lalalala'.

This episode for me was the best episode so far. ( have a feeling the Fujimoto x Kobato may have been part of the reason lol~)
Even though it was just a tree I couldn't help but get a little teary eyed over it. It's just a tree but it has feelings too! . . . right? >.>;
Then the duet was just lovely i love the melody. ( I think I might actually like to do some karaoke to this!) Then to add a little extra goodness Fujimoto appears and pulls Kobato away from the falling tree. HUGGLES~ It was also nice getting to see him smile as well : )

You get ginkgofujimotian! I lol'd! XD it is also nice to kind of having the episode ending on a different note besides the whole points thing.
