THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I just finished watching this and though of doing the hnours becase I am so angry over this episode. Piece of trash that dare to do something like this to Kohane. To abuse verbally is one thing but physical? Piece of shit like these I curse! In real life I one who can use the book known as the Necronomicon. I am happy about Watanuki confessing to Kohane about his love. That leaves the big ? about Himawari but then I suppose he may just be MOE (in passion) with her or leave her to Doumeki. I am really worried about her mention of ending it all in the #10 preview. To go so far with a innocent child cause for one she is not fake and I know fake psychics cause of my real life job. I'll leave you all with a question on this one. Will we ever stop abusing each other?

I agree-- This episode was hard to watch, just because it was so frustrating... And I couldn't believe she threw tea on Watanuki! O_O But I really like Kohane-chan, and I'm not sure where things are to go, but... wah...

When he said that he loved her, I didn't think he meant it romantically... Unless that's in the manga? I dunno. Either way, that was really touching, romantic or not.

With the way Watanuki said he loved her, he actually ment he cares for her. And it worries him if Kohane gets hurt.

Watanuki doesn't love Kohane in romantic way, but like little sister. Because this is CLAMP, and we all know tsundere Watanuki loves Doumeki. Personally, I think he cares for her in the same way he cares for Zashiki-warashi.

I was really hoping Kohane arc could be fit into one episode, but I guess it's impossible... still it's better than countless short manga chapters. On the bright side, they didn't change anything drastic compared to manga, but I still fear of conclusion, considering how it have to be changed.

I know Watanuki doesn't love Kohane romantically, but am I alone in hoping they might get together when she's older? (lol) I feel like people kind of hate on Kohane (yeah the manga arc gets a bit boring) but I like her. ^^

Anyway, we're kind of hauling through the story. Can't wait for the next ep!

I loved this episode. <3 Watanuki's devotion to Kohane is really touching to see. Doumeki helping Watanuki after the tea thrown on him was great too. =^^=

I feel so sorry for Kohane-chan. Like IncognitoOtaku said, people do hate on her too much. She's really a great character, and helped Watanuki develop, I thought.

I'm totally pumped for the next episode -- I don't want to wait, lol. :]

Why does everyone hate Kohane-chan? Maybe it's because I haven't read that far in the manga yet but I really respect her, she's strong. Especially after this episode.

Once again Holic's gone back to it's outstanding standard it's set itself this season. I think this episode was extremely emotional. I'm so glad Watanuki's matured, I'm so proud of him telling Kohane he loved her. I think she really needed that, the poor thing.

WatanukiXDomeki moment there. Ohohoho~

alas, the evils of media to give ppl 'interesting' things steps over the line. i feel extremely sorry for her.
and also the confession ~ i think was not in a romantic sense, but as a caring family type of love.

I don't think people hate Kohane, just the Kohane arc, because it moved slow as hell and was really frustrating to follow chapter by chapter. Some important stuff happens in the arc though. The last couple chapters were jawdropping.

Good episode, althou it feels a little fast that almost suddenly Watanuki cares so much about Kohane-chan but its ok since this is only 13 episodes long. I also fear for the conclusion of the Kohane-chan arc and of the whole series.

huh? Correct me if I'm wrong, but ANN and wiki said its going to have 26 episodes.. But as noticed, the story develops really fast, and I don't think they have enough manga materials to cover up 26 episodes. So, I guess there would be fillers? Either way, I hope its going to have 26 episodes.

Changes compared to the manga are always a bit disappointing, but well... it was a good episode, frustrating and making me kinda hate mankind all over again ^^' Only thing I didn't like was Kohane's house from outside. I don't know, it looked more schocking in black and white.

Another decent episode, it feels a bit rushed – blazing through this particular arc like that, but it was a rather good watch. The scene at Kohane's house is both sobering and unpleasant to see animated. I particularly enjoyed the Watanuki-Doumeki-Himawari scene at school, I always like their interaction. I also liked the scene after tea was thrown on Watanuki's face with Maru, Moro, and Mokona.

In any case, I'm looking forward to episode ten, it seems like the Kohane Arc is about to end. =)

Disappointing...they had to take out the most important stuff, because of their blatant "no crossovers" policy...feh

thankfully it will all end in 4 episodes....


and me was convinced that this season will be better >.<

Well I think it has been better, but it could have been ALOT better had they put in the crossover. It's getting a bit ridiculous now that Tsubasa is a really important part and they're edging away from it all.

Umm, just to clear it up for people who misunderstood.....Watanuki definitely isn't confessing to her when he says "suki." The word has a somewhat broad meaning, it can be used to express love for someone, or just a way of saying you like them. It can also be used on objects n stuff, like saying "watashi choco wo suki!" or "I like chocolate!"
I mean you can judge just by their tone and how they react that they're saying they like each other and care about each other.

And yea, I hate how the media does so many cruel things to people like that....

Is she even her mother!? I thought Doumeki would stop her before she threw the tea on Watanuki.
