Wow, I found this episode really touching... I cried about Fujimoto's past ;~;
I was also sad for Domoto, he is so sweet to Kobato and she didn't even have a clue about his feelings TT.TT I support Kobato x Fujimoto too, though, so I was happy ^^

I think it was a great episode!

I loved how they used Doumoto in this episode. You see, in the manga I always thought he would make a great love rival, but he never became that. Using him here is good for both Kobato and Fujimoto realizing they care about each other (c'mon, that's not even a spoiler...), but it was really sad, I love Doumoto, my baby AND NOW I KNOW WHY I LOVE HIM, OF COURSE, who is seiyuu??? Kamiya Hiroshi, that bastard. Natsume, Kou, Izaya and Yuu aren't enough, NOW DOUMOTO is in the "I love this character and Kamiya Hiroshi is one of the reasons" list.
About Fuijimoto past, daaaamn, I loved it too, CLAMP didn't explored this in the manga either! I'm really happy with the anime storyline, you see character AND relationship development here!

Doumoto is the man! He's such a nice character, I hate when they make very good love rivals because I will never be able to fully enjoy the canon pair. (But Fijibato is adorable, so...)

Doumoto is a great guy, I feel sorry for him.

Kobato always sings at the right times, this was yet another beautiful episode. I wonder if she's almost gotten through to Fujimoto and on the verge of healing his heart. Kobato is such a wonderful character, easily shaping up to be one of my favorites. Such a big and gentle heart, caring and doing the best she can. Also glad I decided to watch this closer to Christmas, really putting me in the mood for next week now.

Although there is so much sadness and sweetness and sadness for the events of this fact to stop the plot to speak of another saddens me a bit, oh well.
Drawings, not bad. Characters that just keep getting better.
These last few episodes will be crazy, have many answers to give.

Doumoto friendzoned and left all by himself. Fujibato couple wins. I preferred Doubato couple over Fujibato since the appeal is better.

I kind of wanted Kobato sing. It made the episode much more memorable.

Fujimoto acted like a jerk almost the whole episode through so I didn't feel like cheering for the couple, even after knowing his past. A sad past is no excuse to act like a jerk and hurting other people. Feel bad for Doumoto who is such a bro and great friend.

Fujimoto sucks at expressing himself! But Doumoto's present to Kobato wasn't wasted though, as she was able to make up with Fujimoto.

Beautiful song.

BTW, the backstory of Fujimoto was really painful.

More backstory and Fujimoto's past has been revealed not one that someone wants to remember, Doumoto saves the day in a heroic way.

Big F for Doumoto who heroically died in the friendzone trying to make an idiot realize she likes an asshole.

I don't know since which episode but I feel like I don't like Kobato like it was at the beginning anymore, especially in this episode. I feel like.. Kobato is really too innocent but after a while she seems like a stupid, brainless girl. Fujimoto was also very annoying. I really feel sorry for Doumoto.

Well, Ioryogi decided to keep wearing Kobato's presented hat.. That's nice, maybe he decided to feel some holidays as well.. Previously he didn't like ribbons, for example..

Episodes where Kobato sings are the best.

Beautiful Christmas episode, no wonder why Fujimoto was sad if it's the day he lost everything, but it ended well while being Kobato's present himself xD
