I do love me some crossover, I'm just...kinda confused. They've clearly shown that this Kobato takes place in the same world as xxxHolic, right? Just thought for sure that Yuuko would be involved. It's been a while since I stopped following Tsubasa and Holic though, so maybe that wouldnt make sense in the given timeline...

This episode also reminded me of what I dislike about the current direction of the show. Kobato does not strike me as someone who is capable of romantic love. Does she love Fujimoto? Absolutely! Just as much as she loves Sayaka, Chitose, Doumoto, and every other character in the show. Now that they're trying to push her romantically towards Fujimoto, it just feels really weird. I'd much rather see them use the limited air time remaining to give us a solid conclusion about the mysteries surrounding Kobato, not pushing some forced relationship that I can't get behind.

Kobato didn't realize yet that she fall in love for Fujimoto. But that piano sceene must be Kobato memories, perhaps Kobato was an animal I think that Fujimoto have in the pastXD But FaiiX333 why didn't we here what he said to Iroyogi?

This means that Tokyo did not go either, and still did not vampire Fai.
would love to see sakura and Syoran so cute


No, this means it's after the end of the manga, just as ShoutaAzuma said.
Notice that Fai has much longer hair and even Syaoran looks older. They must have been travelling for some time already... I want to know what has been happening T___________T

Woo, a new ED. I really like this one compared to the first ED.

I didn't care much about the crossover, but that's the Clamp universe fer ya.
Fujimoto is being really nice and more affectionate for a change. I'll take it.
But it's weird to see Kobato with romantic feelings. I wonder if it'll work w/o being too awkward.

crazy CLAMP logic time guys!

Kobato is waiting for someone who looks like Fujimoto, what if she was waiting for a family member like a father or mother? Oh no wait! That means Kobato and Fujimoto are brother/sister! well they already have almost the same hair color so why not! also this is clamp so its not like that is ever gonna stop them from shipping anything lol

anyways that aside...Fai is awesome as always, and Syaoran always makes things awesome anyways...good episode

Looks like Fujimoto is REALLY starting to warm up to Kobato now. (It's about time)

Seeing Syaoran with Kobato reminded me of him and Sakura....>w> &So that's why Ioryogi and Kurogane sound alike. Should have realized that sooner.

The Tsubasaness in this episode was awesome. The new ending was also really cute.

Haven't seen Tsubasa, so I didn't really feel anything. I did, however, thought it was weird that this show likes to have so many crossovers. Still, it was very weird when Fujimoto smiled at Kobato instead of getting angry towards the end.

Also, the new ending kicks ass.

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

I liked it very much. Fai's hair had grown longer and his jump from the swing was cool!! It was wonderful to see everyone. And I love those outwits.

I was also little dissapointed. There wasn't much usually KuroFai thing. I wanted Fai to tease Kurogane like Kuro-pon and then Kurogane would have chased him o^_^o It was quit laim on their part.

Well Kobato. is for Kobato ^_^

About what Fai said to Ioryogi: I started to think that Kobato is like CLAMP's soul or spirit and CLAMP's earlier character watches after her. How she changes after year but still she is the same old CLAMP. This is just my guess X)

Did you noticed that Fay saw the hat in kobato´s head and after that he said:

Mokona you can talk with her

D:So she was a pet...??

Great episode, I love the Tsubasa Chronicle mix with Kobato :D Wish Sakura was with the, but it would have been odd with Sakura and Kobato in a way :P

Figures Fai would right away figure out who and what Kobato is, makes me even more curious now :D Mokona was so cute in this episode :)

Seems like Kobato is finally realizing her feelings for Fugimoto, and looks like Iyorogi is noticing but perhapes not liking it.
Either way the story seems to be moving nicely, only 4 eps left to go sadly, hope they're as good as this one ^^

Oh yes, I also liked the new ending :)

ITs after the end of trc manga but before end of xxxholic manga.

Neither Sakura nor Yuuko would make sense there, considering on what happened in awesome manga ending of trc ;]

As for episode - Have since long dropped this shitty anime. Watched this for crossover only.

Typical filler episode in an anime that should not have existed.

maybe kobato is a fallen angel who had her memory wiped because she possibly fell in love with a human ?
or maybe she's just the sakura of that world ?

idk, just a theory :P

Wish I knew why there was some Italy in my Kobato...

Anyways, this is probably the best episode the show has to offer, and that's not saying much. For once, I didn't feel like the jokes were terribly bad, and Li and the other two (apparently from TRC) livened up the show in a way it hadn't been before.

Also....why a new ending now?

Guys, stop complaining about cross-overs 'cause it's absolutely normal for CLAMP and many of us love that part of their art ^^

Gosh, I can't wait to know what is Kobato exactly! Loved this episode - Fai-sama, Kurogane-sama, Shaoran-sama and Mokona-chan were so awesome!
It's quite irritating though that it's completely different from manga (I mean how the story is going...) but surprisingly it's equally good so I can't complain much about it.
Waitin' for more cross-over and revelation of Kobato's mystery ^^

Yeah... why now? Well, lyrics are absolutely connected very much with the anime, so maybe it contains some answers?

And whoa... There really IS something about her hats :O

I knew i was in for crappy ride since i have the TRC manga on my to read list. Thankfully i have seen all the OVA's. I remembered they were in the previous when they finally showed up XD. Plus i had to skip the forums or else be further spoiled. >.>
Except for the crossover nothing else really happened. We get Kobato imagining Fugimoto or someone like him playing the same OST we've been hearing for 20 episodes. (Still like it but like i posted last episode would be nice for a new one.)
Really anxious to see what Kobato is, mostly because it is the only thing keeping me interested.

I really should watch Tsubasa Chronicles. (The first season is on-hold right now, ahaha~) I loled @ Ioryogi and Kurogane having the same voice actor. XD;

Fujimoto smiled a lot in this episode. o__O It was sooo.... awkward? He was sad in the last episode, and then this episode he's all cheerful. I'm not saying that I don't like it, in fact I love it, but that was a quick change of events. :]

I'm kinda confused with the person that looked like Fujimoto in Kobato's flashback. x____X

And the ED is awesome like the last one. :)

Nonetheless, another awesome episode. Seems that the next episode will go into the plot more.

Edit: And I don't get why Fai looked at Kobato's hat. XD;

NO you should not.


You should read the manga.

TC anime had nothing to do with these characters as this cross over happeneed after the end of trc manga and well, Tc anime follows the manga VEEEEERY LOOOSELY and ends before the second half of manga. ;)

Dropped this at episode 5, and came back only to watch this episode for TRC. I guess it only provides additional closure to the end of the TRC manga, though I almost fear a slice of life sequel to it... Syaoran is shorter than Kobato...

Crap. That creepy bunny is back. Every time he appears, something bad happens. O_O!

Seriously, villain of the show. By the time Kobato is over, he might be more evil than Johan from Monster and Griffith from Berserk, combined.

My take on Fai noting Kobato's hat is because he knows what she is. It's been stated that Kobato cannot be without some piece of headgear, so I took this to mean this is a part of what she is; so, when Fai noticed the headpiece (plus his magical intuition to know everything, lol), he put two and two together and figured that Kobato wasn't human and so would not be freaked out to see Mokona talk. This was further verified when Ioryogi came along.

Overall, though, I enjoyed the episode, even though the plot didn't progress all that much. Still, I'm getting a sense of urgency and inner conflict that has been gradually building. I get the feeling that Kobato will have to choose between the relationships she's developed in this world and her wish to go to "that place", and her conversation with Syaoran really stressed that. And then the Evil Bunny of Doom further stressed the urgency of Kobato's situation, and Ioryogi will really put on the pressure. If I remember right, his punishment will be over if he can help Kobato fulfill her wish; but if not, he'll remain in his current form. So, really, I'm happy with the direction this anime has taken. It's just a shame it only started to go uphill near the end rather than right off the bat =/

My only gripe with this episode was the FujiBato moments. Could they be any more demeaning towards Kobato? If some person put their hand on my head, as if they were my parent or grandparent, I'd be offended. Or is this something they do in Japan? o_O;
