Kobato

Anime of the moment: Kobato

Remember this? Well, the anime has ended its run.

As is with all Clamp anime, there are quite a number of cross over character. Either they are running out of their creative juices or they are just plain lazy just sticking to old characters, depending on how you see it. You can spot the most obvious Chi and Freya, the twin sisters from Chobits. And then there's a whole episode where Kobato met the Tsubasa Chronicles gang who were supposedly still looking for Sakura's feathers.

There are alot more others which since I did not catch all Clamp anime, I wouldn't know of.

The story is a little strange. The ending seemed to totally deviate from the original objective of the anime when it first started out. The anime started out with Kobato going around trying to "heal" people's heart so that she can earn some "kompeito" to fill up her bottle. Once she managed to fill up that bottle, her wish will be granted.

What Kobato wished for, we don't know since it wasn't shown explicitly or otherwise. Somewhere along the way, Kobato stopped doing what she's supposed to be doing and there seemed to be a confusing shift in direction the anime is going. It went from being a fantasy anime to a romance anime?! Plus, it is sort of farfetched to have Kobato falling in love with Fujimoto-san and Fujimoto with Kobato? With not much focus or development on the relationship between the two, suddenly they are very much in love?

When Kobato didn't finish filling up her bottle by the deadline, she is supposed to meet her "end". But that did and didn't happen. The story then went on to talk about Fujimoto waiting for Kobato?

I am lost! This might probably explain why I didn't really survive most of the Clamp anime, like Tsubasa Chronicles, X, Card Captor Sakura, just to name a few?
