This is a filler done right guys. Nadeshiko makes her reappearance to Amu and there’s cute Rimahiko-ness going on too. No filler characters. It’s just three of the main cast, with the emphasis not even on the two secondary ones of the trio. This is what fillers can be good for. Giving development to secondary main characters and giving the fans what they want. Like when we got to see Kairi again.
Now, I couldn’t help but fangirl for this episode because it’s fun, but I suggest you watch the episode before reading, because hype can kill your enjoyment in something. Fall for it yourself.

Lawl. Corny post title. But this is just what this anime does to. It really does make me want to eat my favorite treats too. Not just because all of the delicious looking food that makes this anime so dangerous to watch while I’m trying to diet (but seriously, that food). It’s just damn cute and that makes want all sorts of sugary evilness all on its own. I don’t know why cute things affect me this way, they just do. I bought a whole box of munchkins to be prepared to watch the first episode of Kobato. (And no, I didn’t eat them all.)
The point is this series needed another little fangirling post because I just love it so. Why? I don’t know. My interests seem to change arbitrarily. I want to say that super cutesy anime is a constant, but it’s just not. Sometimes it will piss me off right off the bat. So why does this series succeed where so many others fail? I don’t know, but I think it’s proportionate to the amount of sugar damage it does me. The fact that it’s a perfect amount.

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.

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.

F— YEAH! (Though this is post huggin~ So you guys will be forced to cry MOAR! and get into the rest of the post~ It’s teasin’ huggins~)
This is what shoujo’s all about. Hugging and crying during huggin~ and saying each others’ names and…well all that stuff~ (There’s FLOATING too guyz!!!)
(Oh god I’m dying over here~)
Now surrender your cold heart broken by fillers to the sheer force of…well the mahou shoujo hug. *srsly dying*
