 |
| I'm finding this series in a sense repetitive. It's not horrible, but like...the main story doesn't seem to be getting particularly well-developed. |
 |
| Aww this episode made me tear up a bit, despite the fact that I have issues with young girls meeting strange older men at the park during the night. For obvious reasons. Kobato is too naive for her own good. Sadly, I actually know people my age who're like that >.> |
| Wasn't really diggin this anime since it's too girly but this episode had a well needed change of pace. Turns out it does have danger that affects the characters for a more real feel and I have a new found respect for Fujimoto. |
greenmush said: Nice episode, but the first part has nothing to do with the second part of the show and it still has not been concluded Manga related story is long, so it's not ended. The anime original story is finished. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
kisami said: they go ta bit lazy in the end credits and didn't put the new "candy" in the jar. I thought the exact same thing. {said out-loud during the ED} "Bums should have added a third peice of competto candy!" Very sweet episode sure to cause tooth decay. |
 |
| I just love this show. I hope to see even more of Fujimoto-san! |
 |
| The problem at the nursery and the sorrows of Sayaka-sensei and Fujimoto are long-term, I suppose. I'd like to see more of Fujimoto too. But now knowing he's right next door to Kobato, there can be "endless" possibilities for development. Is it just me or Kobato's screams sound like Nodame's sometimes? |
 |
| "Kobato Ganbarimasu"...o_O it's the same as "Kyon-kun denwa"..ringing in my head now, Can't believe that Fujimoto lives at the same apartment as Kobato, apart from that this episode is heartwarming episode again with sad background, Letter Bee x Kobato x Kimi ni Todoke make a good combo this season for some tears for me |
 |
| Oh, Kobato, why are you so sweeeet |
 |
| So did Fujimoto always knew that Kobato moved in right next to him? I can understand Kobato never realizing this. overall good episode. |
| the fireflies scene was beautiful <3 and Kobato was sooooooo cute ! |
| Wonderful episode this series has gone from an 8 to a 9 for me. |
 |
| I want to see fireflies irl :( But I wonder if it really are that much... |
| It was a bit cliche, the story with Mori-san. Nonetheless, it wasn't bad. Those debt collectors... somehow, they remind me of yakuza members (probably because of their bully attitude). Anyways, looking forward to next week's episode. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

| Fujimoto was a badass in this episode! I guess those thugs are part of the yakuza. I'm just wondering how Sayaka got involved with them. |
| Good episode... was little too much to see Kobato violated but what to do. -_-'' Well it was touchy, but not to make me cry. Most of the time when I see tears I cry.... TT.TT |
| *yawn*....This anime is not doing me any justice im starting to force myself to watch this... |
| Loved this episode, so touching x3 |
Tosi ystävyys ei jäädy pakkasella! Thank you for your visit. Welcome again! |
| ah after 1 week off, its quite good to see kobato again, well i liked this story, very sad for waht happened to that guy, but at least she healed him. anyway looking forward to next one. |
 |
| I find it funny how only NOW some people seem to notice the two candies in the bottle during the ED which have been there since episode one and pass it off as the studio being lazy =P. |
 |
| This was the first episode I really enjoyed. |
| Kinda cliche but it was done beautifully, so it was very touching. <3 |
     |
| It was cute episode and I liked how Kobato protects Sayaka from bad guys. I can't wait for more epiosdes. |
| BORING! Not a single element of this episode took me by surprise. More annoying, though was that I just don't think she helped Mori. I was hoping that the time limit would speed up the pace, but I guess not. I foresee some montages of her helping people while the jar fills up. They should have just made it a pez dispenser instead of such a huge flask. |
| Okay all that happy fluffy cute stuff was fun at first but it's starting to get boring. I don't know if I'm gonna continue to follow this show. |
| I liked this ep so much, it was beautiful. |
 |
| great episode really touching xD |
     |
Kobato is so cute  I love this show! Every new episode is a energy recharge!! |
 |
| This was a great episode. Really beautiful with the fireflies and the story behind it.. ;_, |
 |

| An enjoyable episode. The old man's story was heartbreaking. D: I actually got sad during this episode. The firefly addition, very beautiful I like Kobato, because she one of those optimistic characters that actually do something. Such as when she tried to defend Sayaka from that debt collector by acting as a barrier between the two. Sure it wasn't anything physical like a punch, but it was a lot more than what those types of characters would have done. :) |
| It's amazing how little things affect your life and just how a little push can help someone a lot. |
| Sweet episode, though a bit overdramatic. Anyone could see from a mile away that that guy was the author of the firefly book. Anyway, pretty ending. |
     |
| At first, this was just pretty lol, seeing as Kobato failed at reading a picture book xD Then after a little while, things suddenly got interesting when the thugs came by.. And Kobato showed up another side to her usually clumsy persona xD And that author's story was quite interesting as well, not to mention it was a sad one. Actually I think this episode was way better than the previous, since it had some substance, while the previous one was kinda.. empty o.O |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| This episode felt very "by the numbers" to me, but I guess that's the kind of stuff you can expect when your goal is to go around collecting things. DKJ |
 |
| It's starting to get repetitive. Side Story A about a person with a scarred heart, and side story B is about the nursery. |
    |
| This episode actually made my eyes water, in particular the scene with the fireflies. |

KeroroGunsou said: I want to see fireflies irl :( But I wonder if it really are that much... Our fireflies up around Cleveland, Ohio are super chill and just crawl on whatever touches them (easy to catch, lol). And they don't hold their light, they just blink, which looks cooler, imo. Lots show up around July. Although we call them lightning bugs. :D |
| The episode was realy good as always. I just love the way she says "~desu". |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Hey hairpulling Kobato is forbidden ;D |

| Absolutely loved it, even if it was a sad story. I would have never have guess that the old man wrote the book, and what a past he had. Sad yet happy episode! |
