THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Somehow I'm getting more and more curious about the long haired guy's story. Though it seems like they want to keep the revelation of that for later.
Also very lovely how Kobato just asked that guy to share an umbrella with the girl even after she stood right next to them.

Overall I liked this episode probably the best so far, since it was pretty solid.
Only thing that gets a bit on my nerves is some of the comedy.

haha. well that turned out nice. but don't tell me we are getting the typical story of those who heal hearts and those who scar them. that is just lame. we just got the same thing from Fight Ippatsu...with more ecchi.

Rainy day.

Sayaka sensei gave Kobato a place to live, a bit different from manga, I think. Chitose appears. Kobato dropped Ioryogi!

A girl who bumped into Kobato is more considerate.

I cannot help but to be understood of Fujimoto being worried about Sayaka.

Somehow some scenes from the exams chapters mixed in this ep., too. Chiroru shop and rainy day with the umbrella. That girl was the one who lend her umbrella, too! A boy who knows the girl has been added?

That boy being mean to that girl reminds Kobato of Fujimoto.

Fujimoto lend Kobato his unbrella because he doesn't want to be in the same umbrella.

That girl saw the boy in the same umbrella with another girl.

Twin sisters appears (I heard Megumi's talking voice first time...)

Kobato is asking the boy to share in the same umbrella with the girl. That boy explained about the misunderstanding. Thus she got another one.

The Konbeitou has two in the ending, too!

The two main characters from Wish appeared! Kobato will meet both of them next ep.

i find it annoying that the stuffed animal like thing breathes fire.... and if its just a representative sign of its anger they should make an episode that puts a note on the fire breath that says so -.-... really annoys me for some reason... if it wasn't for the stuffed animal breathing fire and being so generally annoying i think i could rate it an 8 instead of the 7 i currently plan on rating it once its finished.

i think i wouldnt mind it if it was just a mean stuffed animal that DOSENT breathe fire, since it would give some contrast to the main caracter... also it would have been good if they didnt do the stuffed animal give a 1 to 100 rating of the day to the protagonist. its just stupid and annoying. what about biting instead of fire breathing....

i mean... hes essential.. if it wasnt for the stuffed animal and the mean guy that treats her like crap it would just be another aria which i found very boring and slightly stressing... which i rated a 7 and i think i should have rated lower now that i think about it...

other than that i find it a pretty decent anime... and this was my favorite episode out of the 3 so far... tho it might not be saying too much. plus the blond guy at the end of the episode added some intrigue..

I liked this episode. There was also the introduction of an additional plot line. I didn't really expect to have a Chobits flashback...though I guess it shouldn't be too surprising.

i would LOL very hard if see her healing the magic knights or Sakura
....in the end she didn returned the umbrela to the shop....

The first thing I thought when I saw those apartments was "wow, those look exactly like the ones from Chobits." And then I was like, yeah well that would make sense. Both series are done by CLAMP. Then sensei introduced Chitose. Duh. It is the same aparment complex!

Ioryogi-san is more than just a stuffed animal, though, which has been referenced a couple of times already in the anime. Just like Kobato, despite all her clumsiness, is more than just a normal girl. We find out more about this later. CLAMP usually doesn't do things meaninglessly, when it comes to the plot of their stories.

Try to settle back and relax, and enjoy the show. It's going to be more than just a slice of life deal with Kobato healing hearts every ep or so. Many of us CLAMP fans are having tons of fun just finding the cross-references with other CLAMP anime and manga- e.g. the Ushagi-chan, the pastry chef from todays episode, Chitose and the Twins, Kohaku and Souichirou. So far the Chobits references are just references, but if you read the manga, there's more meaning behind the Wish references, though I don't quite know what the full importance might be though. I'm hoping to find more of these, since CLAMP seems to like sneaking them in here and there. They like to tie all their stories together.

Whoa. Wish crossover is starting.

Next episode seems to be focused on Kobato and Kohaku.

just one question... Why did Kohaku sensed Kobato's presence? gasp. Kinda like Saki! Does Kobato have some awesome mahjong powers? lol.

Oh lawd, I lol'd as early as in the beginning x)

And then I find it quite annoying how gg translates the names : o An example is Fujimoto, that's what they say, but the translation reads Kiyokazu, oh well, not that it matters anyway

Woaah! Twins who look like Chii O.O
Striking resemblance.

Exactly my point

So, who's that Kohaku anyway?

gg is using American localisation for their subs, so Fujimoto is referred to by his given name(Kiyokazu) and not his family name (Fujimoto). Doesn't bother me at all since I also listen to the dialogue.

Anyway, this episode really makes me want to watch Chobits. I spotted the characters and knew who they were but still...

I realized that after making the post and leaving the house, so I didn't bother changing it, and I listen to the dialogue as much as I can with my lacking skills in Japanese, and that's just something that got to me : |

I am SO glad that there are good warm and fuzzy shows like Kobato and Kimi ni Todoke airing. I made the mistake of watching Kanon and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien back to back, so it's fantastic to have counter-sadness matereal like this to watch right now.

Umbrellas are complicated! O.o

Chobits parallels! :D

Never seen Wish though. Might have to look into it.

Anyways, loved it!

Not reusing. It's called a 'crossover' and it's very much the kinda thing that makes CLAMP, well, CLAMP.

What I find extremely annoying, however, is that stuffed animal.
He just ruins the whole mood of the show for me when he gets angry.
Apart from that, Kobato is just too cute! And yay for the every so adorable Chii!~

Nope, all CLAMP series are set in CLAMP Multiverse, a collection of parallel universes/different worlds in which sentient beings live different lives and different fates. The robots Chii and Freya from the world of Chobits are instead human twins in the world of Kobato.

Tsubasa Reservois Chronicles and xxxHolic are the main series that deal with an inter-universe plot. In other words, all CLAMP series describe ONE single continuity, that is, the CLAMP Multiverse.
