I loved this ep!! ^.^ First filler that I don't mind :)

Was that a neko ear in the shadow of Kobato's hat? When Fai was checking to see if it was safe with Mocona?

When will CLAMP leave Tsubasa alone? Shit was awkward. I never knew Fai sounded so... gay. I've only read the manga sooo... :X His voice was irritating.
four more episodes. I can do this...

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.

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 :)

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


;)

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;

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;

Haha, Fujimoto has to be out of character for me to like Fujibato at all. (I'm still not fully sold...I ship Dobato!D: )

Wow, the inevitable Tsubasa crossover was actually funny! That was a surprise, I thought it'd annoy me. I have a soft spot for lame seiyuu jokes. And Mokona and Fai are awesome.
MokonaxIoryogi OTP!XD
Ffff, Fai's voice sounds so much like Italy. I've only ever heard him dubbed, so that was interesting (and I prefer both Fai and Mokona's dub voices...i've only seen three episodes of TRC and can't remember Syaoran and Kurogane's voices, though.)

Maybe they don't want to read the manga because it's so damn long and the spoilers make it sound so confusing? Like me? The way you described the anime appeals to me far more than the manga D:

What the fuck is this? Who are those time traveler dudes? I can't relate at all since I haven't seen this TRC or Chronicles or something. I guess I need to watch that in order to enjoy this episode in its fulllest.

Anyways this episode was cute since it focused about Valentine's day. I loved how Kobato looked at Fujimoto when the children asked her who's the person she's going to give her chocolates to. I guess it's Fujimoto. :D

What really bugged me was that rabbit and the place that Kobato wants to go to. There was a guy playing a piano. The fuck was that? Was that Fujimoto? So, Kobato wants to go to Fujimoto's place? The heck? Also, the bottle isn't full yet and there's only 4 episodes left! I wonder what will happen.

Somehow Fujimoto reminds me of Clow Reed, if we're starting to connect things. He has long hair and glasses as well. Ah well. I hate the bunny. Loved to see the Tsubasa group in their new clothes and of course, Mokona as well! Mokona and Ioryogi, huh.

No wai! Clow Reed? Well, they do seem similar. So that would mean Kobato's the one he wants to bring back to life. Oh, and it's said that Kobato's not human. So she probably came from heavens and the quest she's doing, the place she wants to go, is the world where Clow Reed is, because she wants to stop him! But... people from different worlds share same name. And the theory got destroyed.

I had this anime on hold, but quickly went to watch this episode as soon as I learned that there was a TRC crossover. I think I flipped out even more when I saw how this all takes place AFTER the events of TRC. I can't seem to properly contain my happiness!~ :D *insert girly squeal*

I skimmed through the posts, to people who are going to watch Tsubasa Chronicle - please don't D:!! Read the manga. So much better :3!

but if it's the same world as Yuuko-san's shop, couldn't they just visit the shop? were they unaware of this or is it a different world?

also love the new ending! <3

Fay!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I love him. : ) Although I watched all of Tsubasa dubbed, so I was really missing their English VAs in this episode.

I noticed that Fay looked straight at Kobato's hat when he first met her, he must have figured out whatever it is that makes her unique right away.

Oh and did anyone else catch the Clannad reference? "It's a star!" "It looks like a starfish!". lol. Fuko reversed. So cute.
