Noooooooooooooooooooooo, I don't want Fujimoto and Kobato to be a couple! You could just see Domoto think "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" when Kobato was talking about Fujimoto.

Well, at least we learned some background information on Fujimoto. Furthermore Koboto isn't collecting candy which i guess can be a good thing depending on who she is obtaining it from.
This show while really slow can indeed pull touching moments out of their hat, although i have to say even if your really happy do you usually break into song? Oh well, Koboto is i'm talking about i guess.
Just asking but can Koboto learn another song? I mean i love it, but still...

Man, I'm really surprised at this show. At first, I thought this was just going to be another cutesy anime, but this is quickly turning into one of the better anime of fall 2009. This episode was really nice; I loved every moment of it. We had a lot of Fujimoto development here, and the last scene was really nice. You can tell that we are approaching the climax.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Nice looking episode, but meh.

Fujimoto is an awkward Santa. He could've at least done more effort to hide his hair.
That part made the kiddies (except that smart one!) look bad.
Other than that, it's a change to see Fujimoto being more personal and real..
But I still think he's a flat character.

I wished that they made more songs for Kobato to sing.
It was nice when it first debuted, but now its getting redundant and overused.

I think so too~ It's a nice song, yes, but its been sang four or five times now and it just isn't as pretty as the first time.
>_> I was also aching for a Fujibato moment, even though I like Domoto x Kobato better.
I'm dreading the end of this show.
When I first started watching this, I had thoughts of dropping it after the third episode. I'm glad I stuck to it.

Meh, this episode was a bit on the cheesy side. I'm still waiting to see if Kobato will get all her candy and make a wish for world peace or something. Her sadness is not proportionate to the crying souls all over the world!

In that preview... a mere reference can't save this anime from the depths of Hades. (ok, I'm exaggerating)

However, apparently a certain someone liked this episode:

Yes, its ... that guy .. from tsubasa whatever.

Actually I was able to recognize him and I didn't even watch Tsubasa

But I have a question for people who watched most of anime's based off CLAMP'S manga .. do I have to like watch them all to understand the plots for each one? Like I know the characters from one anime appear in another (e.g. do I need to know the plot of xxxHOLIC or card captor sakura to be able to understand tsubasa chronicle?)

Fai, Mokona, and I think even Kurogane! Whoa, that's gonna be a crazy crossover.

Anyway, this Fujibato moment is too cheesy for me. It was touching at first but then Kobato started twirling and I was like, "She's gonna sing. She's so gonna sing." Yup, I was right.

Poor Doumoto!!!

no, not at all. What Clamp does is reuse characters but still keeps the plotline unique for each story. But its still fun to see characters from an anime you watched come back to life in another anime; in this way Clamp's characters never die. oh, but the animes that reuse characters might spoil what happened in their original animes, so its always good to watch from old to new, if you're planning on going into Clamp's works...

munya, need to finish tsubasa chronicles before watching the next episode. i think it spoiled a bit for me when it showed Watanuki with wicked eyes in episode 18, and i haven't even watched the second season

My favorite part of this episode was when Fujimoto said, "I think the snow is really pretty." That was so code for "Kobato, I'm in love with you" n_n

Worst moment: Domoto at Fujimoto's stand staring at the sky. Talk about getting the short end of the stick :( It's too bad he doesn't end up with Kobato, they would be absolutely adorable!

It finally occurred to me this episode, I'm over any charm that this show has. Just doesn't do it for me anymore. We've pretty much seen the same stuff over and over again. It was enjoyable for a while, but now it's just boring. I feel like I know everything there is to know about all of the characters, and I have every reason to believe that the nursery will be saved. All that's really left for me to keep going is the mystery aspect. What's under Kobato's hat, and what happens when the jar is filled. And honestly, at this point, I'm not expecting much...

...and then the preview reminded me, I like the Clamp crossovers too XD

did you see that hint with Kobato - like 'not existing'? i mean at the end when Ioryogi said something about 'have to part with Kobato' and scene Fujimoto&Kobato under umbrella - there are only Fujimoto footsteps!

Maybe she's an angel, like Kohaku. Remember in the first episode. Ioryogi-san said ''Singing is the only thing Kobato's good at. That's what makes her like Kohaku.'' or something.
That's another hint! XD

I always like watching the falling snow in animes and this was beautiful as well. And finally we got some Fujimoto x Kobato moments which I especially appreciate.
Really touching ep and somehow I feel how the story takes a turn to a more serious way... I have been waiting for that...

I'm kinda looking forward to the next episode, if only for the crossover aspect. Is that a good or bad thing, that the crossover is what I'm looking forward to (rather than any progression of the plot)?

Anywho, pretty good episode, if rather cheesy and contrived. They sure know how to pull off a beautiful scene regardless, though. I, too, want to hear Kobato sing a different song - after the Kobato x Kohaku duet, I was hoping it would be the last time we hear that song >.>

That duet was pure lulz. Kohaku was like ''Ah, what a beautiful song. But I don't know the lyrics, so I'll just ruin it by screaming LALALA while Kobato's singing. :D''

I hadn't noticed that. o:

But I am sure that it is only because Kobato had been stood there a rather long time, before it began snowing. I feel like rewatching the episode now. Thanks for pointing it out, I wonder whether that explains a few things.

I feel bad for Domoto...he realized Kobato might be starting to like Fujimoto and had to give her up T^T Aww. Fujimoto's probably starting to feel something too.

But anyways.

XD! My thoughts exactly!

I hope it wasn't an animation error. It makes Kobato seems mysterious.

Also, next episode was personally written by Nanase Ohkawa (I think?) Well, CLAMP wrote it anyways.

ALso, Kamiya Hiroshi was using his Araragi voice this episode. <.<;;

I love this episode. This anime do have touching moments, and it seems like Kobato is starting to have feelings for Fujimoto.

And for some reason, my heart ached when Ioryogi said "I'll part from Kobato". It felt so sad.

And I'm waiting for the next episode! It seems that Syaoran and the others traveled into Kobato's dimension.? XD

Will most likely change this soon. || PNCH || PPFC || Anime Familia || EHC
