I was pretty optimistic after the 1st episode but this 2nd makes me worried.
Hope this anime really starts soon 'cause nothing really happened in this episode.
I should be more patient^^

I don't think there is supposed to be much that happens. It's a laid back, slow paced sort of anime, and so far, I love it.

Ioryogi's so friggin' awesome. He even went all 'Points Nazi'.

"No 100 for you!"

And I've always found those blank, few line faces that CLAMP does when the characters are flustered to be hilarious XD

That was a really sweet moment. I really enjoyed this episode.
Toshihiko reminded me of Maria from Umineko, which made me feel even more for the kid. I wonder if they show his mother later on or not.

The interaction between Fujimoto and Kobato seems like a culture clash for the latter, what she said about scarred people who don't want to be healed makes me wonder why, but, I hope the plot eventually explains Fujimoto's backstory. Regardless, the scene with the organ and Kobato's determined dancing face made me crack a smile.

Aside from that, the back-and-forth with Ioryogi (I wonder if that's right~) still makes me laugh, and so having him disappear for the daycare scenes was a good thought. Although, I do wonder if the story writer maybe just forgot about good ol' Ioryogi-san, and then added the scene where he comes back on because the writer didn't want to be encased in flames himself. =3

...Where -do- those flames come from...Hehe. X3
Can't wait for the next episode.

Aw, this was really cute. Kobato is so adorable. Her naivete is kind of charming, imo. I'm very interested in how she'll go about "healing' Fujimoto. He seems like a tough case.

I'm sticking with this anime. :)

lol @ can kicking game!! How they expressed = funny.

She's taking whole box of tissues!

They did nice job for how Kobato met Sayaka! lol @ Fujimoto being mean to Kobato.

SCARY Ioryougi.

Good job at intentionally helping Toshihiko "sadness"! Flashbacks are nice. Really simple healing, and got 100.

Ioryogi seems to be the only thing save this anime right now in my opinion, maybe he should get his own show and dich Kobato she is holding him back and maybe the fact that he is a stuffed animal. seriously tho I am finding this kinda hard to think this will get any better.

CLAMP give me the will to keep watching this.
I am the light and the darkness tossed away by fate.
I am hope and despair needed by all and to none.
I am CuresDestiny.
Fear me or Not it is all the same to me.

Awesome, I liked this ep as much as the first one! I didn't read the manga so everything is new to me. The little story with the kid was a little depressing. You have to wonder why his parents divorced... but that wasn't the main focus of this ep. We'll probably see more of him in the future though, since they started a larger story arc with Kobato helping to keep the nursery running. Or at least I think so.

And gosh darnit, the opening song is so cheery! (´・ω・`) Oh, and Kobato will have a new outfit in the next ep.

Through my eyes, this series feels like it is going nowhere and the season finale would have no resolution.
It "sucks" as a romance. I mean... it is not those Bishojo series you watch, but the whole tsundere "dude" is not warming me up here and the outrageous stuffed toy is a aggravates me. But then again, he yells at Kobato. This makes me wonder where did she come from or what species is she.
As a comedy I guess it lives up to its expectation but not in a good way. I cannot imagine a nice adult watching this. I mean it is not inappropriate but it is not worth their time.
It is nice that the character designs are similar but different, especially the hair. It is nice that a character of CLAMPS looks like Sakura, but the who SPIKEY-hair doo keeps reminding me of sadly, those shonen anime like Yugioh. I mean, yes CLAMP relatively does not do shounen or shojo manga, but they need something different.
By the way, what is with the long strands of hair. I mean there are people with spiky hair in anime, but spikey AND long in the same time that just annoys because the hair-doo is new to me.
I am very dissapointed to this episode.
At the very most, I like the piece of Kobato's character background. She does not have a father which kind of feels me up to it.
This anime REALLY needs to make more character development.

Yea , it is calm but I find it pretty stupid (Kobato is slowly starting to tick me off >.>")

Even though Aria was "calm", it was 100% beautiful and over 9000x times better than this (so far)

The funny thing is: I couldn't care less about the storyline, yet I will stick to it as Kobato is probably the most beautiful anime-character I've ever seen. I'm pleased with just seeing her on the screen, no matter what happens there.

slightly annoying episode, also made me wonder is kobato really so dumb or is she just from other planet or something, anyhow she is somewhat appealing indeed, no matter how i hate to admit it xD and talking dog is win, therefore..gonna keep watching

also she kind of reminds me of anne from green gables, if u know what i mean, and since anne was one of my fav cartoons when i was 4 yrs old or something, then im curious about this one too, at least in the name of memories

Hmm... not a bad second episode. We can tell that this story will most likely progress with Kobato and that guy from the nursery. Pretty funny episode, thought not as charming as the first one.

How can you guys be asking for more character development? This /was/ a character development episode! Besides, it's only the second one out of how many? 24? Sheesh.

In my opinion, this anime is going to be right up my alley. Interesting plot with a slow-paced, slice-of-life theme to it. It's very cute and I look forward to the next episodes.

Am I the only one who thinks Ioryogi-san is annoying as hell?

Like the first episode: started out really weak and got better by the end.

Though this episode was overall noticeably weaker then the first.
Oh well, it's not bad so far, so I'll keep watching and see where this goes.

Unless this series picks up a bit, I might drop this. I'll give it at least another episode or two before I do, though, just because I feel like there's more of a plot to come. I'd also like to see greater and more in-depth character development. Although there's only been two episodes so far, the development I have seen is the more superficial and fluffy kind. I mean, we have yet to see any other aspects of Kobato's personality other than clueless, clumsy, well-intentioned, and a little bit angry in this episode, so I'd love to see greater exploration into other parts of her personality in a series such as this.
