I hope episode 21 was based on the manga, because I really liked how things turned out there. I'm not that happy about the nursery closing down of course, but I'm glad that Sayaka and Okiura reconciled.
I wonder if Kobato got some konpeito for helping them? It's hard to tell since the bottle is almost full, but she may have....
It will be interesting to see how the anime will end, if its unsatisfying there is always the manga. I might be more keen on picking it up now after episodes 19 and 21 dramatically increased my interest in the show.

Based on the most recent episode (20), I'm guessing at this point that the anime is completely off track from the manga. It was a fun episode and the new ED was really nice, but compared to episode 19, this one just didn't stand a chance.
Given that there are only about 40 chapters and that the series is nearing its end, I assume that we will get an anime original ending or they will somehow go back to the manga where supposedly Kobato confesses to Fujimoto in chapter mid-30 or something . Can someone who has read the manga confirm how close the anime is with the manga?

you know your totally right about the hat thing
but how could she possibly not know shes got something abnormal on her head i think...
i imagine its more along the lines of some kind of power that fay notices cause if you think about it he had magical power so it would be natural of him to see that in others
but speculation aside its gonna be nice to see what unfolds

I thought it was neat that they had the characters commenting on that. I thought they might just ignore that its the same VA, but its great that they didn't. I liked the Mokona x Iorogi moments. Mokona feeling that s/he's (Iorogi's right, how can you tell Mokona's gender?!) gotten closer to him, and he's like I don't feel it at all I really liked seeing the gang again, I've missed them since the manga ended. I've become even more curious about Kobato, what she is and how she's special, since even Fai has noticed it. Why does she always wear a hat? I wonder if she has rabbit ears or something lol

at times like this i get a itching feeling that somehow appearances like that are like some kind of preparation for something grand
thats probably wrong but its not impossible i think

well anyway im really enjoying this show
like i really wanna see the next episode already
kobato sure is a good girl aye
also irorogi is the kurogane of that world not just the same VA
that made for some interesting comic moments
and i wonder what fye said to irorogi.....
since you can only tell that theres something special about kobato and fye notices it right away

@ mowerman yeah i agree with the way they ended that ep was really nice brought back some tsubasa nostalgia since almost every episode of that had nice endings

Heh Tsubasa Chronicles make a chameo

The ending of episode 20 was absolutely gorgeous. It's too bad they don't do that sort of thing more often in animes. The original conception art is almost always very well done.

Episode 19 was probably my favorite thus far in the anime. I liked that it focused on Fujimoto, and his past. I'm glad that it seems that he is getting closer to Kobato. I feel kinda bad for his friend though, Doumato. Kobato totally rejected him without even knowing it It was really nice of him to set up a present like that for her, despite his own personal feelings towards her. The only thing that bothered me was the singing at the end, yeah I can understand they wanted to make the ending all the more magical but, I just don't like her singing.
It looks like we'll see the gang from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles next week, I can't wait

I do enjoy the CLAMP crossovers as well. Watanuki has made an appearance, I wonder if we'll see Yuuko....
Anyway, I still haven't warmed up to Kobato's character, I find her more tolerable now but, she still isn't as dear to me as other Clamp characters have been.
Now that it looks like it will focus on the relationship between Kobato and Kiyokazu, it has raised my interest level a little more. Not to say that I haven't enjoyed it so far, I did like some of the episodes where Kobato healed somebody's heart. I was particularly fond of the firefly episode, I just thought the storybook and story itself was charming.

He probably wants her to be a stay-at-home wife who greets him at the door in a nude apron offering him dinner, a bath or herself.

This show does feel a bit like Anime empty calories, but it's still very watchable. Plus I like all the CLAMP crossover stuff.

well, I watched episodes 3-18 in row and it isnt THAT bad. Fortunately enough Kobato loses some of her super naivite in later episodes and the stuffed doggie grows on you. I noticed that when I watch animes that I find only barely interesting in a marathon, they are more agreeable. I guess the same goes for Kobato. I am curious why sayakos ex is trying to force her out of business.
