Aw, I liked the ending! So many haters commenting in this thread, made me sad.

As for Kobato's age, I don't think she's just a kid. I think she had already been reborn into the world when Ghost Kobato was there.

I don't care what other people think because for me its ending is SUPPPERR AWESOME ! It's overflowing with awesomeness. Characters , story , and happenings -- all were awesome ! No words can ever explain their awesomenesss ! AHAHA =)) For short, the anime itself is very good.

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee it soo much to the extent where I want to watch more of it. I want a second season ! Well , enough with that though ` One more thing , No wonder syaoran and the rest were there bcoz CLAMP was the one who made it too. Woah ~ so creative. I love it <3 I love CLAMP !

I WANT MOREEEEEE ! Kyaaaaaaaaaaa ~ :>

So, it was said that Kobato's wish changed, so what was her wish then? This last episode just makes me think it was to stay with Fujimoto instead of going to the alternate world where she met that 'another Fujimoto'. The anime got me a little confused, but i still loved it so much <3
& as i read in some places, in the manga it's said

But i didn't read the manga yet, so those are just my thoughts.

I'm happy that this anime ended with a happy end BUT


i really wanted to know more about the guy in her memory who was he ...it's Fuji from another world but who to her
& how could she be reborn & be this old.. she should be much younger or Fuji much older ...& of course all the questions about Ioryogi what was the reason of the war & why is he still in this form ...just that was not enough


idk how to do this quote thing, haha, anyways, i think kohaku stated it, that kobato wants to transcend time to be with the side of her love, which is fujimoto a lot older, and she's young right, so that's her wish, ithink

maybe fujimoto is a friend of her dad?? maybe, or she really admired him, just maybe

The highlight of the episode was definitely seeing all the side characters grown-up.
That isn't Kobato though, she does not have a hat.

All the fillerish episodes, especially the ones relating to children, really failed to hold my attention. The episodes focusing on the main characters were good, however, particularly the last arc. The ending was super cheesy and cliched, but the events leading up to it had some touching moments. Overall a 5/10. Half-and-half. It would be higher if Iorogi's past was explained in detail; I was waiting the entire series for some answers on that.

All in all, it was okay.

In the middle I was really pushing for the anime to either pick up or finish. Sometimes the story would be so sweet it was gag worthy, although sometimes it was just right. Kobato reminds me of Tohru Honda a little bit.

The ending was kind of cheesy and although we were never told what Kobato's wish was...I don't believe that it was to be with Fujimoto. So I thought it undermined the journey that Kobato went through. Kohaku said that the contract wouldn't change and I don't think that she knew Fujimoto to begin with so...yeah.

I am left with mixed feelings. 6/10

I just re-watched the anime and I fell even more in love with it <3

You just gotta love Kobato, she's the perfect character for this anime :) I loved Ioryogi too, Domoto-kun was so nice/sweet for Kobato and Fujimoto was really nice at the end <3 I've heard that the "real" ending will be different since the anime is waaay ahead the manga but I liked this ending so much!

Was a good ending, but it made me laugh because Kobato's wish seems more like "to be with her most important person... and to be filthy rich." Seeing how she conveniently ends up with a huge mansion and inheritance.

Awwww I really liked this anime. I loved everything about it but the ending isn't AS satisfying as I'd hoped. It was a realllyyy good ending, concluded MOST of the stuff. But I can't help but continue to wonder if everyone else ended up remembering her. Cause it's like... don't the rest of them feel as if something was missing?

But then again, when Kobato left she disappeared from the pictures and stuff. Though when she regained her memories, she appeared in the pictures again. Soo.. it might mean that she's back in everyone's memories.. right?

Lol I know that nobody can answer my question, but this is just my opinionnnn. Anyway. Still loved the anime. Kobato was soo sweet. One of my top lovable characters in anime. :D

Didn't think I would like this anime as much as I did in the end. Thought I'd be too old to enjoy anything cutesie from clamp. >_<
I was crying when Kobato was leaving and everyone forgot about her. But I guess it worked out alright in the end. :)
I kinda wish Sakura or Kero had a cameo some where in the series but it was still nice to see the other clamp characters.

dam i just finished watching this anime, man it was brilliant and touching, especially the end, it explained alot, how kobato had met fujimoto in that mansion and when she died she wanted to be reborn and stay with him some more, only this time they know each other, and now they will stay together forever as now they will continue to be reborn and be with each other

8.5/10 for this anime, i give that extra .5 for kobato being so annoyingly adorable, it would of got 10 if they had explained a bit more and shown more about how kobato died and how ioriyogi got himself stuck in stuffed animal form, also i think they could of made more episodes as it had a lot to go on

but apparently they explained all that in the manga although i havent read it, i heard it from a friend about how it says how kobato died and about ioryogi's past
i wont spoil it though

I don't get all the hate, maybe I felt it was a bit cheesy at some parts but definitively not bad.

Kobato was such an airhead that got me into thinking "damn this girl is such a klutz" and "fuck it she's just kinda adorable" at times :P

I'm giving this a 7/10 (though I would rate it 7.5 if I could)

Maybe I'm a bit sensitive myself, but this ending was touching. I thought that ep 24 was just showing events happening as though Kobato never existed, but I didn't expect the returning Kobato's memories. A job well done.

It was a nice, lighthearted anime but I just couldn't find myself liking the ending. The rest of the series was an 8 but I believe that endings are one of the most important parts of anything and this ending was uh... pretty abrupt. Essentially, this anime could've been 4 episodes. First 2 and then the last 2. All of the rest in between were fillers with slow story progression.


Regardless, Kobato made it into my list of favorite anime characters so watching Kobato. wasn't a total disappointment.

I'm pretty surprised at how much I like Kobato. It's definitely one of my favorite anime now. I'm usually annoyed by cutesy things and thought for sure that clamp wasn't my thing but I guess Kobato is the exception to my rule. Most of all I just loved the characters and it's such a well made show.

Well, I finished this series not too long ago and unfortunately, I'd have to say that it was not as good as I hoped compared to other Clamp's works like Tsubasa Chronicles, Chobits, etc.

Still though, it had some of its good points.

I loved this show from start to finish which is not what I was expecting before I actually started it. I think what made the show so good to watch was its great characters especially Kobato who I believe to be one of the most inspiring anime character's Ive ever seen, Also the show is very consistent as it is consistently heartwarming and fun and all the moments of drama fit into the show due to its presentation.
10/10 from me, and Ill be looking for the DVD of this for sure!

Lame ending, but anyone realize all the dreams and flashbacks in the anime about Kobato's past? It looked as if Fujimoto was either her father or some teacher maybe.

I liked the series overall, it had good comedy and nice touchy moments. There were some cheesy moments, but I can look past them. :)

Disappointing ending. It was the usual cheesy 'everything is solved' ending. It kind of took away from the wonderful previous episode's ending scene. I really wanted to know who Kobato was in her previous life, was she the daughter of Fujimoto in an other world? :/

I had quite a lot of problems with the anime. The predictable plot, the episodic first half, the unnecessary fillers and that half the cast were crossovers (some are good, but this was way too much). But the main problem was that after I heard that Ioryogi wanted to get something from the Celestial world my attention kind of shifted from Kobato to him. I was more interested in what that was and how that 'fight/war' went down than the confetti collecting. I was always awaiting the parts when Ioryogi went to the bakery to see if they let us know more about that. The concept of the three other worlds was very promising, but we didn't get more explanations in the end.
I really liked Kobato herself, she was the usual goody-goody, but she was so cute and adorable that I didn't care about it (plus points for her seiyuu being Hanazawa Kana). Fujimoto didn't really interest me. His past was sad, but it was really annoying how he was shifting between being a jerk and kind of caring about others and his jerkness only disappeared in the last two episodes.
The other characters where okay. My favorite alongside with Kobato was Ioryogi. He was awesome and were it not for him and his other spirit friends (who were actually better than the humans) this show would have gotten a really lower score :/
The animation and the music was of course wonderful, nothing much to say here. I especially liked Kana's singing, she is awesome :)

I had a really hard time deciding between a 7 and an 8, but unfortunately I have to go with a 7/10. All the things I said above really took away from the experience, but the story was pretty beautiful nonetheless. I wish they showed more about the other worlds and about Ioryogi's past. That would have made it way better :/

O.o surprising amount of hate here...

Ah wellz.

For those who are comparing Kobato to Aria....

For those that complain about cliches

I don't actually have a counter for that... But... Bare this in mind...

Kobato, is the only Clamp anime I've seen.

And, I don't think Cliche is necessarily a bad thing. I mean sure, we all want an original ending. But if the cliche ending didn't sucked... then why are we complaining about it not being original?

HECK!!! I think it'd be amazing if Ioryogi lead the spirit army once again and attack heaven for Kobato's sake, with Fujimoto acting as vice Admiral of the spirit fleet, traveling across the seven seas and end up at Land of Mordor and found out that Kobato is the one who shot bambi's mom...

Oh wait... Sorry, my "Must be Original" side of butthurt elitism kinda kicked in...


Kobato is a show about a mysterious, kind girl dropped from the sky, who tries to help others and cure their sadness, in return, she gets confetti and her wish will be granted if she filled the confetti bottle.

That's what Kobato's story is about, and Kobato is a nice, heartwarming story about the adventure of the mysterious young girl. She experienced kindness of other human being, made friends, and cured others. In the end, her true wish granted.

That is all.
8/10 for this anime. Good Job Kobato.

My only regret is that I'm not around to defend this anime when it's being heavily discussed... Some Elitist are so insecure that they're got too eager to be "cool", and missed the whole point of the show.

Ending was better than I expected.... Even though bit cheesy... But hey.... This whole story is light heart-ed to begin with.....

They left out many questions though.... Like how Ioryogi and Kobato relate to each other?, Is Kobato's death related to Ioryogi somehow?, And meaning of the Kobato's dream, etc......

Anyway, a good anime to make you smile at the end.....

To the question about how old everyone is:

I think Fujimoto is about 20. When Kobato comes back, the manga claims her to be 16 so Fujimoto might be 36 then.

Well this show turned out to be a disappointment for me. Going into the first episode I thought that this showed had a number of elements that matched up with my preferences in anime and that this would be a pretty appealing watch. Unfortunately, this ended up being a real chore to sit through. I found that I simply could not connect with or find myself interested in either the story or most of the characters; and, as such, I really couldn't enjoy this series like many people here did.

So, I'm going to a bit a harsh here and give this only 4 kompeito out of 10.

I was very disappointed with the ending of this show. The whole final episode was weird, from the retcon in the pre-title segment (the stealing of pink sparlies wasn't in the previous episode) to the very unsettled end, it just wasn't satisfying.
There were a few bright spots, but it felt rushed and draggy at the same time. Rushed because there were a lot of things the final ep. brought up that it didn't answer, like his rushing around looking for corroboration of his memories, and draggy because it seemed like a lot of time passed, but she showed up fully (or nearly fully) grown.
It just didn't feel cohesive with the rest of the show, or with its internal parts.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

This show was really slow and boring, it was a long slow show, but CLAMP has done it again and made such a lovely and heartwarming show, I always find shows that I cry in to be very good as they're powerful enough to move me.

This episode deserved a 10/10, all my questions were answered, and CLAMP made another lovely show.

GREAT ENDING!!!!!! :')

Here I was reading what others have thought about this anime most saying they enjoyed it were others not listing anything bc u know who u are n anyone who has read this know but i can not stand 10 pages of people bitching about how crappy this anime is I have seen crappy n this was not crappy with was a good story some things lacking i will admit n other things i wish they would have shown like who were all the people the Konpeito belonged to or something knowing that would have been nice but i am not going to Crucify this anime just because that wasnt shown yes i would have liked more of the romance to have been shown but other then that well Ioyorgi's past would be nice to know about as well but i will live

Speaking of living let me ask all those that bitched about this being a really crappy anime n ending n all. okay I am not asking anyone to lie about how they feel but wouldnt putting it on ur list that u watched it n gave it a 1 done the same thing as coming on here n saying all this shit about an anime if u hated so much then just freaking drop it....i hate dropping anime as well dont get me wrong but how i see it if u r going to believe in not dropping anime n then bitch about an anime that u could have just dropped but didnt because of this belief then u have no one else to blame then urself so bitch elsewhere bc everyone who enjoyed it could have dropped it when it got boring to them but they stuck with it n ended up enjoying it or loving the ending and u dont hear them bitching. Watch School Days or Elfen Lied or something with death because it clearing shows thats what u were looking for and anyone who was looking for that kind of stuff in this serious let alone it being a CLAMP hello they MAINLY make anime for kids Hello how stupid could u be anyone who thought that is a freaking dumbass okay move on n get over it its just a damn anime its not like it is real grow up.

For me i was worried about the ending being good but u dont here me bitching but there is some anime that do surprise me.

But enough about the bitches & Assholes who have no class about evasive bitching n on to what i came on here to do

Okay I have already explained so of what i would have liked them to add but I really did enjoy this anime n i seriously thought i was going to be mad at it in the end I wish there was more to really enjoy what could have been but i am not complaining bc like i said it could have been worse

It was an amazing ending. While I feel like some parts were missing, at first I wanted to give it a 8, but it felt harsh and wanted to rate it a 9.. I couldn't really make up my mind but in the end that ending made me chose 9 instead.
