Now, I'm positive. The question is whether they're going to direct this toward romance with the nursery guy and make her choose between heaven and him or whether her previous life is going to catch up with her.

It's not a plug. Kobato takes place in Wish's and Legal Drug's world. In fact, all of the "modern day Japan" CLAMP works take place in the same world (Suki Dakara Suki for example) and the manga (started after Tsubasa and xxxHolic) is full of crossovers.

That said, I prefer Kohaku in its androgynous form than the new chibier look CLAMP has adopted. I was always a fan of the androgynous bishounen look CLAMP began with, but at least the chibi/cute look of Kobato is much better than the anorexic look of Tsubasa, xxxHolic, and Ledouche. Well, at least Kohaku still can't beat Ashura in the girly department.

Anyhoo . . .

I've enjoyed the manga, and the anime, while not great, is rather enjoyable. It's a LOT slower paced though which ruins some of the enjoyment. Kobato really isn't meant to be dragged out this long.

Whatevs, purple-one. I enjoyed episode 6 alright. I'm warming to chibi-CLAMP and I love how this show goes from super-cute to super depressing in the space of minutes.

and the award for the most huggable anime character of 2009 goes to...

really this is just an overflow of moe. Not sure what else to say about this one.

Watching all those heartwarming stories is fun, but I really hope we won't have to wait 50 episodes till she gather all the Clow car... err Sakura feathe... err I mean candies.

Everything in this series is ubberly cute. Like in Cardcaptor Sakura.

I'm currently reading both the manga and watching the anime. Hahaha, I just can't resist CLAMP series like this.

This series will totally be the cutest for 2009 for me. And will end up in my top 5 for 2009.

I'm liking that, too. It's a nice mix.

Man, every anime is listening this week...

Episode 6

The whole side-story with Ioryogi (sp?) was fantastic. I loved all of the animals and all of the tough talk. Are we supposed to know who he is? Are we going to find out? I'm eagerly looking forward to how this develops.

That said, the super-cute sections still get full d'awwwww points from me. Kobato's outfits, her expressions, the sounds, everything screams kawaii and I love it. I am a little worried that the girl got no Kompeito this episode, isn't she on a time limit?
