| I just decided to watch that. And judging from the first epiosde this decision wasn't wrong at all. :) |
| This felt like a children's anime >.>" |

| I really liked it ^-^ It's so cute and Kobato is just too huggable <3 At first i didn't really like the dog but in the end I have to say is funny xD but he continues to make fun of poor Kobato D: Looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| for those that don't know, the sign was admonishing people to throw away as little trash as possible. really wonderful first episode, hope it doesn't suddenly go south like Reservoir Chronicles did. |

| I love Kobato Manga, but i always prefered to watch anime than read manga, although manga has always better art. i was seriously disappointed with the Voice actor of fujimoto, it doesnt suit him. But overall, i LOVED Kobato and Ioryogi :D cant wait to watch the next ep! |

| Alot better than this thread was making out. Can't wait for the next episode~ Also, her singing voice really isn't that bad. I don't get the big problem. This is all I have to say to those complaining about it:  |

| I really loved her singing. I don't get the problem as well. Anyway, great episode, awesome visual effects, and Kobato is just too cute. <3 If this goes on like this I'm gonna love it, that's for sure. |
| It was refreshing and funny. The characters were enjoyable, but the question remains... what and where is the plot going to lead to. |
| Ah, this is something else! I never read the manga so everything is new to me. Kobato and Ioryogi are interesting to watch. I liked the insert song as well. |

| I must be in the minority that thought that Kobato's clumsiness/naivety was to the point of mental retardation. Not to mention I'm not too keen on her character archetype in the first place. She's probably worse than Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. Currently in limbo for me, and will give 2 or 3 more episodes before deciding to continue this or not. Toy dog's pretty cool though. Reminds me of a feistier version of Kero. |

| I loved it ! it was really funny ~ Dobato :P is So cute <3 |
| I am so excited by this series. Can't wait to see all of it. The animation quality was excellent. Hopefully it stays so throughout the entire series. |
 |
| Aw! That was so cute! I absolutely loved it, just as expected~ Now with that said, I'm off to download the manga now since I said I'd start reading right away if the first episode lived up to my expectations. |

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's obvious why she lacks common sense and doesn't really know how the human world works. |
| Started out pretty meh but quickly grew on me. Overall a fine first episode, I'm looking forward where this is heading. |
 |
| It was very cute~~~ Kobato is such a cute character x3 And Ioryogi is hilarious rofl. |
     |
| Nice heartwarming, cute and unpretentious episode. Not a strange thing coming from CLAMP, but it ressembles Sakura or CLAMP School Detectives more than X/Tsubasa Chronicles/xxxHolic/Tokyo Babylon/RG Veda etc... Well, I prefer their more adult side for once, but I'll still watch some more eps, especially since Madhouse does a great job direction and animation wise on it. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| It was very cute-I loved it ^^ But one thing I have a question about. I think I know what her name means, something close to "Young-Dove" But I could be wrong. I'm a beginner with Japanese, But I know Dobato is "Stupid-Dove" I think, and then there was the Dobato or Dobado(Can't remember which way it was spelled. I was wondering what that last one knows, if anyone here knows. She seemed to rather be called "Stupid-Dove" than "Dobato/Dobado"... so I was wondering what he meant, I assume it's an insult, or is it not Japanese at all and just made up? I looked for a translation, and even tried splitting it up and changing some letters around… I haven't run across it before. I don't read the Manga.... though I might ^^ Anyway, sorry for the probably silly question. But I loved this episode! Edit: Quesion answered. |

| Meh episode was much more impressed by http://cgi.ebay.com/THROW-OUT-THE-LITTER-BOX-WHY-WASTE-MONEY-NO-MORE-SMELL_W0QQitemZ310129310279QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item483525ba47. Kobato may be cute, but it lacks an edge and the animation is average. |
| that was a cute episode <3 I was reading the manga, and the part Iorogi writing the score on her face was really missing for me. I think it was moving too fast, they could take her test for 2 episodes at least, and most of the episode was a filler... in the manga it takes 1 Vol. until she gets the bottle. and Fujimoto appeared too fast. not so much like the manga, but I really enjoyed Kobato's singing <3 I keep hear that even right now. <33333 even tho she was suppuse to sing it in diffrent situation... I hope they will be ok after that episode, because I want it to be like the manga <_< |
 |
| This show is armed with cuteness in lethal doses. A wonderful adaptation. |
| This is... this is... this is... KA-WA-IIIIIII!!! (Yeah, FMA Brotherhood reference) Guilty pleasure of the season. :D |

| What is the song that Kobato sanged during the Cherry Blossoms Festival? If anyone knows the name of the song, can you tell me? Thanks First episode was good. |
| It was pretty good actually. I think Kobato's hair looked a bit strange though. Also what happened to Ioryogi writing on her face? D: The song she sang was pretty :] |
| Since I'm a man, I don't use words like cute! =P I will say that it was a very good first episode though! Different from anything I've seen this season so far. It has a very high score coming from me if it continues down this road. |
 |
| Disappointing. I've heard good stuff about Kobato, but if every episode from now on is going to be like this one, then I'm definately dropping it. 2/5. |

Not to mention I'm not too keen on her character archetype in the first place. She's probably worse than Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. Then...that makes me part of the minority, then? o_o; I know Kobato is supposed to be cute and endearing, but to me, she came off as 25% endearing and 75% annoying. But, yeah, I'm generally not fond of this archetype in the first place - you know, the girl who's so air-headed yet people still love her, anyway, for being nice...and cute. Still, I thought the first episode was decent. Even though Kobato was pretty annoying, she was cute and the episode was, overall, fairly enjoyable. I'll continue to watch for the next few episodes before I decide whether to drop it or not. 3/5. |
| at least....is out!!!! a poin t here and apoint there diff of the manga, but oh well, kobato´s moeness and cuteness made up for it i liked very much...putting aside that the singing was very bad..., the rest of the eisodeshiwing how kobato is such an airhead making everything,....wel everything she does time to fillthe bottle XD |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |

| cute episode. :] |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
| That was about the cutest thing I saw since Chi's Sweet Home. :] While it wasn't great and Kobato is nothing more than a gigantic klutz, the episode left me with a warm and mellow feeling, so I'll be sure to watch the rest. |
