Hmmm - CLAMP on autopilot. I guess that the CLAMP girls just needed to churn something out to pay for their holidays.

The problems I am having with this series:

- The clone characters - we've seen them all before in CLAMP series, but then they were developed better

- The irritating main characters - One irritating side character can be tolerated. An irritating side character and two irritating main characters is too much. Idiotic does not equal cute. Bitchybishii does not equal cool.

- The paint-by-number plot line. Gawd help us - this is from Sunday Morning Shoujo Series 101 and has been since the early 80s.

CLAMP are great when they are edgy, sexy and angry. Kobato is none of those things.

So its No Go Kobato for me.

I really loved it, remained cute as always. Nothing really ground breaking happened, but it kept me entertained. Man, now that Kobato is in animated form, I am falling in love with her more and more. She is just so adorable!

She should have called it "heart candy" instead of just candy though. Sounds catchier.

Guess it's not really for everything. I like the slow pace and how relaxed it is... I would like to see more about Kobato's background. The scene with the kid was touching... but if every episode is going to have something like that I can somehow imagine it perhaps losing its luster. I still liked the episode, of course. :]

This is a pretty decent follow-up to the first episode. The same atmosphere is definitely present here. However, it is still lacking something to make it stand out. The interactions between Kobato and Ioryogi are still entertaining and fun, but that's not enough to make it a great anime. I am enjoying the series so far, but I just wish that it would throw something new at me. It's done well for what it is, but it feels like something is missing here.
And dear God, a hope that Fujiyoshi doesn't turn out to be just another typical CLAMP male.

Yeah Kobato got her first Konpeito. Damn, it'll take her a very long time just for that bottle to be filled to the fullest. Why does the Konpeito have to be that small?! They could have made it bigger so that Kobato will be able to go to her desired place faster, lol.

Okay so Kobato was so hilarious in the beginning. She was like "Oh does anyone have a wounded heart? Oooh let me heal them please!" People thought she was crazy, lolol. Good thing she found a job in a nursery home or some sort. Unfortunately, she get to work with that butthurt guy, rofl.

I also noticed that Ioryougi and Kobato are making that tunnel-like house in the park their base/hideout or something since I always see them there, lmao.

I'm getting Natsume Yuujinchou vibes from this show, which is a great thing. Fujimoto = jerkass, though.

This was okay, but it's a little boring though. Hope there's something that will catch my interest soon.

Not liking the series so far. Kobato is an utter mess. Her character is unbelievably dislikeable, the clumsy but sincere, and generous archetype only magnified to a hundred degrees, enough to nearly rip a blood vessel and nearly drop the whole series. And neither is the cold, murky guy helper making any things better.

I do like the touching moments and sure, Kobato and guy-helper-that-I-don't-know-the-name-of are probably going to mature and change over time (or maybe not), but not sure if I'm going to stick around and wait.

Hmm not a too bad episode but this Anime is lacking something the stuffed animal dog is not all to funny and for some reason the character unknowingness lacks a decent form of it! Though the Art Style makes up for those points so well lets keep watching :D

Amazing episode, comedy was there but this took a more serious turn which I do like.
I'm loving this already, just watching this makes me really happy.
Ioryogi is already getting nicer, I guess he is a tsundere, lol.

I'm really liking this, surprised so many people don't like it.
It's only episode 2 so hopefully the story goes unexpected places.

It seems Kobato is keeping the momentum, I really enjoyed this episode, a nice mix of cute, playful, and funny. The scene where Kobato comforted the boy was heartwarming, she reminds me of Akari from Aria. I like how Ioryogi made the point that you have to be sincere to make good deeds count.

4/5

The plot has yet to give a solid proof of its potential.
Narrative can also perform well the role for which it was created the anime.
Drawings and excellent OST enjoyable.
Not boring for now, but the protagonist has to evolve and become a bit more mature while maintaining the lightheartedness that young people possess.

Kobato is soo innocent, I love her reaction each time she get scolded.

It was nice to see Kobato offering her help.

She's interesting to see.

Touching moment between Kobato and Toshihiko. I guess he's the first one to fill the bottle, I'm happy for Kobato.

So the bottle will be called confetti.

I'm loving this show, I hope it won't change.

Well, going around asking if people want their heart to be healed.. I'd think person is probably from some kind of religious sect or something..
That's a bit sad that people think mom is something, because she works till late.. Well, they probably say such things to boost their own situation, I guess.. To boost their own understanding, how life should be lived and stuff..

Simple and sweet.


Lol @ the Ioryogi breathing fire running gag. The chibi faces are extra funny.
