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.

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.

Booo for work. Another extreme fangirling chapter (though slightly less because plot takes up a lot of space) and I haven’t had time to get to the post until now. *sigh* But at least reading the chapter again put me right back in a good mood. One word sums up this chapter: d’aww. Well that and: “F— yeah. Right again.” Though this time almost everyone was right. With just the reasonable amount of doubt because…it’s CLAMP we’re dealing with here.

I wonder if I’ll ever get sick of getting to see the stuff I want though. But probably not, this chapter seems to end that (though there is still one possibility to extend it one more chapter). I’m satisfied though. I think I got everything I wanted except for one thing.

Most difficult chapter to find a “spoiler-free” image for…ever.

What the heck CLAMP! This is even better than the last chapter! 16 more incredibly satisfying pages. And part of me totally didn’t even expect to get this! And then you deliver it in a way that’s ten times more awesome than I could have imagined and…gah! I love this!

I…I can’t even say anything that’s not a spoiler. I’m just trying to take up space so it doesn’t pop up in readers and so that there’s some stuff before the cut, but…oh come on! Let’s move on already shall we? Beware of the extreme reaction right away that I had at the end of the chapter.

An episode with no random new characters for the week, development for characters we care about, the first promising sign of movement in Lulu’s story (she actually has a personality 2 weeks in a row!?), much Rima-tan love, and zomg they didn’t forget about Ikuto!

Whoever is writing these fillers recently needs to be in charge of more episodes because I’m totally not hating them. We’ve only had 1/4 bad fillers so far. This is unpossible and I demand to know who is responsible for giving me false hope for being entertained every week!
