It wasn't so good, but I expected it to be worse. Too cute for me, but I'll continue watching it.
Also, wtf was with Kobato's singing? She is supposed to have nice voice, but it was just annoyingly sweet j-pop.

im not sure if this show is going to be a little too 'cute & fluffy' for me, but i must admit Kobato is dead cute, and the animation for this is really top notch, I also loved the contrast with the side-kick dog (i forgot his name at this moment in time) seriously evil xD will definitely be watching more and seeing where it goes

I started this series because of Kobato, her design and appearance just caught my eye. And so far she didn't disappoint me, I really like her personality, it's nothing really new, but there seems to something special in her. Also, she is voiced by one of my favorite seiyuu, Hanazawa Kana. That's an instant win.
I also like the OP and ED, but Kobato Kobato's song was the one I really enjoyed, Kana has a really good voice, hope she sings more later. The relationship between Kobato and Ioryogi is pretty funny, the dog is a nice character.
My only problem for now is the story. It's nothing special for a start, but I can guess that it will become something much more.

So all in all, this was a really good first episode, can't wait to see more.

I haven't read the manga and I only heard about this series due to... I don't remember why I even know this series.

Anyways, I like it. Not the best first impression but enough to keep me watching the next few episodes.
Didn't particularly like Kobato's singing since I myself, am a singer so I usually hear the out of tune notes or anything that sounds off.
Didn't like OP or ED too much. It's nothing that makes me go "Whoa!" so I know I'll be skipping those.
The dog is pretty funny. Yet, a bit scary.
The guy that's the romantic interest is pretty boring and mean in this episode. But that will probably change.

I'm expecting a lot of great things from this, and man this first episode delivered already.
Comedy was great and this made me feel really, really happy.
Kobato seems like a really good person, Ioryogi makes me laugh but I wouldn't like it if he would act like a bitch forever.
Hopefully he gets nicer later on.
I'm looking forward to more of this!

Started watching this PURELY because the cover picture of this is so pretty.

Seriously one of the better ones on this site.

Artstyle and Animation are great not quite amazing, definitely easy on the easy.
Comedy wise it's alright so far, some of it comes of as generic to me. Much better then stupid random parody comedy, but not too thoughtful.
The plot seems interesting but not in love with the concept yet, can see it becoming formulaic. I'm hoping for a bit of romance and good amount of drama. Hopefully some tearjerker scenes.

Oh boy, a pleasant surprise to hear HanaKana as Kobato, really brings out her cute and clumsy character. Really funny and enjoyable start, I'm not used to laughing that hard right from the get go. Kobato's song was beautiful and watching her sing was captivating.

Not a bad way to give up my 2000th post.

4/5

Just because I can not live only for anime mecha genre, I'm beginning souls, being confident that it does not disappoint me, being a story by CLAMP.
First episode that strikes me about the costume design of Kobato, the rest is still unattractive, I await the next episodes to find out the peculiarities of the series.
Sympathetic narrative while not being very funny.
Cute design, animations sufficient.

I really love the pace and mysteriousness I feel about this show.
The idea is not the most original one, maybe... But it's done so
well, so lovely. Sweet, yet adventurous. Just the way I like it :)

I was a bit picky in watching this show. I was unsure about picking it up countless of times until I finally decided to try it out. Gotta say I loved Kobato's clumsiness and airhead personality.

Funny how she chose a small playground thing to land on and have the private conversation. Then the nabe scene. Throw random ingredients left and right. For the people there it tasted like glory.

The highlight was Kabato singing. She has a charming voice imo.

I expected something big, as it is produced by Madhouse, but instead got an average first episode. Gives off CCS vibes btw.

The girls voice is really annoying. (She didn't sound so weird in other shows...)
The male lead looks weird. And I still don't get the premise of this show.

Glad Kobato passed thanks to that Obaa-chan, I guess things begin now.

Seems great, please don't disappoint.

I love the singing scene, the voice, the song.. everything fits the mood. Even though it's only the first episode but I'm pretty sure that I will love this. Kobato's clothes and hair designs are very pretty! So cute, sweet and adorable ♡

Also, Dabada XD

Where did Kobato come from?.. It seems that her companion dog knows more about common sense of our world.. Even if he could be not rude all the time towards Kobato..
So far I more liked than didn't the first episode.. How Kobato will be able to interact with others.. How people are living.. How world goes with its' nature, stands, everything.. Really depends on what they'll want to do with anime more..

I know Ioryogi by sight, I just didn't know that he's from Kobato. I meant to watch this anime since forever and always ended up picking something else. I'm glad that I'm finally here because this was a promising start.


Feels like a Clamp series. I totally mean that in a positive way. I love how 00 this is. Yeah, it's obviously from 2009, but it has so many characteristics I associate with that decade that it's noteworthy.

The premise strongly suggests an episodic approach where Kobato encouters people with broken hearts; ergo, plenty of emotional backstories. Sounds good. I'm also a fan of Kobato already. The energetic, naive clutz of a heroine just works.

It's such a good episode.

The scene with Kobato singing was just amazing, and I'm really liking the dynamic between Kobato and Ioryogi.
