Kobato is very funny here^^ but she seems to be doing well with her mission :D I wonder how full will her flask be when the series end ;) Ioryogi on the other hand seem to be having quite a hard time here XD Overall, I think this episode is quite good :D

xD I love how Fujimoto immediately stops humming when he hears Kobato is back and puts on his 'Mr Angry Face' ~ x]

A nice episode. Nice to see a little more about Fujimoto. Can't he hear Kobato talking to Ioryogi next door....or is he pretending that he doesn't hear anything?...weird.

Pretty interesting episode. Instead of collecting more compeito, we learned more about Sayaka and Fujimoto. One reason why Fujimoto is always angry-looking is because he's an orphan.

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

First actual heartwarming episode in this series, and best episode after episodes of crap. And they actually made Fujimoto less irritating, if even possible.

Lol, i lol'ed at the last part. When the heck did Fujimoto turned into a tsundere erasing all his 'cool and cold' attitude? I don't get about people wanting more plot, sure I also want them to quicken their pace, but really, this is shoujo, for young girls, it's going to be like all other shoujo animes out there. Mirumo Zibang, Sugar Sugar Rune, Powerpuff Girls Z...

Next episode: Detective Hanato Kobato. lol.

I found this episode to be boring. Didn't we already know he was an orphan, or was it just always this painfully obvious?

Didn't Iroyogi talk about someone being like Kobato that could play the piano or something? I wonder whether that person is related to Fujimoto, or Fujimoto himself. I thought that at the first episode, but now it's looking like he may just be a regular human.

It's canon, but still better than the other episodes that were just plain and pointless. All the characters felt a bit more real too, this time around.

*snores*

Little to no plot development in this episode, and with the same happening for about half of them so far, Kobato is moving at a snail's pace. The only part of this episode I actually enjoyed was the last few minutes >_>

I thought this episode was quite cute. Nice to see that Fujimoto wasn't always like this, but rather a shy and introverted boy when he was youing.

The last bit has got to be the best part. Kobato seriously managed to embarrass Fujimoto there.

Fujimoto had such a sad background. And Kobato wants to work like he is now. That way she'll never get her job done.

Wewt, I liked this episode more than the previous few. I really liked learning more about Fujimoto! Nothing felt too exaggerated in this episode too. I mean, even Ioryogi's reactions didn't seem over-the-top or anything, aside from "usual".

I wouldn't be surprised if Kobato never ate. Like a huge majority of anime girls out there, she's pin-thin.

Ahh, we get to see a story about Fujimoto when he was still a child. I didn't know he was an orphan. I also didn't know he was already emo butthurt when he was a child, lol. I guess that's one of the side effects if you're an orphan.

Kobato was cute in this episode as usual but unfortunately she didn't get any Konpeito in this episode. I wonder how is she going to fill her bottle within a year if she keeps hanging out with the nursery home.

Damn, Fujimoto gets a lot of screen time nowadays. I wonder if he's going to play an important role in the future. I just wonder...

Young Fujimoto looks like Sayoran. Just mentioning because there's like a bazillion Sayorans and who knows, maybe he's one. -shrug-

Oh yea, I noticed her, but wasn't sure where she was from again.

And from the previews, looks like Sakura appears next episode.

nice to know wy Fujimoto is a grumpy so and so, made is character a little less annoying now, loved how he went from having a nice little hum and smiling almost, then as soon as Kobato comes... goes right back into angry mode xD and the ending was dead funny too, probably the best episode so far :)

Great episode, it was nice to see some of the history of the preschool.
Fujimoto's story was nice as well, no wonder he's acting like a dick sometimes.

Another alright episode.
These are never rated highly on here. Only around 50% 5/5
I'm assuming the ending is really good since it's rated an 8.16

The episode is very funny and interesting, compared to the previous year.
Kobato is really fun with Ioryogi-san.
Interesting plot this time, pleasant narration.
Sayaka deserves my respect!
Promoted almost everything except for the work of Madhouse still not perfect.
