As most Kobato. fans know, the anime was technically going to adapt their other manga Wish, which actually connects to Kobato. anyway. Kobato. includes many crossovers, but like Tsubasa (and Holic) actually connected to the CCS story, it seems that Kobato. does the same with Wish.

Not that I ever read Wish. I hope no fellow CLAMP fans get on my case when I say this, but CLAMP works can be hit and miss with me. Wish is a miss…for me. Great CLAMP-ish work I’m sure, but not for me. So I’ve been meh on the whole wish adaptation all along. Not against it, just…don’t really care about it.

The reason why everyone watches this show.

Yup, this series is as episodic as ever. I think last season we only had three sets of two-part connected episodes. Just meaning episodes where things from the previous episode mattered at all. Usually leaving off with a cliffhanger. For an actual two-parter it was probably just the finale.

But of course I’m fine with that because otherwise the perfect Nogizaka Haruka episodic fluffy formula doesn’t work.

It’s finally here! The anime adaptation of my second favorite CLAMP manga! Maybe even my second favorite manga overall~ We’d have to wait and see how the series ends before I can decide something like that.

And I am just so pleased that not a thing can bring me down. This was as perfect as I could imagine it would be and anyone who says otherwise needs to kindly show themselves out. Because you’re wrong. And that’s that. Because Kobato is just as perfect in anime as she is in the manga. And I will spend this post telling everyone why you should all love her as much as I do! Except that’s impossible, so just try your best.

They made the title even longer. If this was a “First Impressions” post there wouldn’t have even been enough room.

But anyway! Haruka is back! And I’m glad to have her and the rest of the gang back. Making their return with all of the familiar faces and jokes (and ohmygod otaku romance) along with one new face and one familiar character just getting an expanded role. Also new fanservice in the fact that this episode has enough to make up for everything the last series may have lacked. You just don’t see any of it.

Ah~ I miss these short news posts. More than anything though, I obviously miss having a reason to do them. Kobato~<3 You can just consider this the first in a long line of pimpage posts for what will surely be one of my favorite anime.

So voices for the two main characters have been announced as have the artists singing the opening and ending songs. Some “as expected” “hmm…that could work” and surprises await. Hopefully good on anything unexpected, but we’ll just have to see. I just want to remind everyone as usual to keep an open mind. Nothing ticks me off more than someone running off and immediately deciding, “No!!! This is gonna suck!!!”

Why hello there Nogizaka Haruka. It’s been a while. In fact we haven’t talked much since the very episode I will now be talking about.

So, for my…seventh(?) day of anime we have episode 07 of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu~

Or as I like to call it, the episode so good that it made me stop watching.
