Kobato.

Since I seem to have lost the word patience in my dictionary, and due to a looming feeling that I'll be rather inactive here soon enough, I've decided to finish up some things a little bit earlier. (something to remember my egotistical self by)

http://www.kobato.tv/top.html

If there's a series that's A MUST SEE for me (aside from BLACK LAGOON), it has to be this one. My reasons are quite simple: 1) It's another manga-to-anime adaptation of one of CLAMP's creations and 2) MadHouse studios are responsible for animating it. Isn't it great?



There's no official trailer for it yet but there sure is a lot of fan made AMVs that can be found in youtube. I suppose CLAMP in Wonderland 2 will do for now... (You'll find her at around 1:15 past the video)



and tons of images...



Speaking of which, one other special thing that I always look forward to in any CLAMP works are the character (dimensional) "crossovers". :)

I guess that's all for now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that its date of telecast doesn't get pushed farther away from this year's Fall.

WOW! I been a while since we both agreed on a series to be a must see nano desu, I've been enjoying the manga and I love the story, and I've always been a Clamp fan, and ever since that Wonderland 2 video I've been waiting for a series with the adorable Dobato, i mean Kobato lol
Madhouse indeed, I shall enjoy this much nano desu, knowing you are waiting for this as much as I have really pleases me nano desu

Ah, yeah. Saw that Clamp in Wonderland video awhile back.

And those two twins remind me of Erza and Freya for some reason....

(chobits ref, btw)

A must-see? No. But since Madhouse is animating, it could turn out better than expected.

this made me want to watch tsubasa chronicles all over again... Also reminded me of the great anime's clamp has created over the years... hope they keep doing so...

I do rather enjoy crossovers, like Tsubasa Chronicles and how it inerweaved with xxxHOLiC. And this one can satiate me as much as that one previously did, though the anime version of Tsubasa Chronicles got pretty toned-down at the end.

Hopefully MadHouse will do justice to this one as well. I'm kinda curious as to how they'll cast, portray and give dialogue to Kobato's foul-mouthed dog, Ioryogi (in the manga he verbally beats Kobato).

On a side note, did CLAMP already do a crossover with "Gohou Drug"? Just asking.

As I'm not really an avid manga reader, I don't really know...

Anyways, I looked it up and ta-da !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_Drug#Crossover_with_other_CLAMP_works

Well, just to be expected from CLAMP though only in the mangas; no anime cross-overs yet.

Who knows, there might still be a very slight chance for a cross-over or an indirect cameo appearance from any of the characters who belong to that series in Kobato's upcoming adaptation.



And am I so glad to hear that, esp coming from you. I just so hope that the adaptation delivers as I'm really excited about it. Can't wait! :D

Ah, I would love a cross-over/series with Gohou Drug. I wish Clamp would finish the manga, though.

Yes, thanks for that one, hermitVI ^_^ Hopefully they do :)



Same here, I'm all ups for that idea as well. Hmm... CLAMP's kinda busy as of these days, from providing character designs and plots and others and such. I'm guessing thay can't finish Legal Drug as of the moment as it's like their side dish, but hopefully they do as well.

I really like Kobato, and I'm looking forward to the anime... the manga has only 3 volumes (I think) so far, so I think that the anime will finish soon~

I must say I can't wait for this to be released i love CLAMP ever since Tsubasa or even way back card captor series I just can't wait (mustn't forget Rayearth as well) but this seem to be along the line of the XXX holic universe

AWESOME! I CAN TELL RIGHT NOW THAT I'M GOING TO LOVE IT! I CAN EVEN TELL THAT MAAYA SAKAMOTO IS THE ONE SINGING THE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND, AND IT'S VERY LIKELY THE OP THEME! I SURE CAN'T WAIT! :D

Indeed nano desu, seeing the PV make me even moar anxious nano desu, and that background song was adorable nano desu ^_^
Kana Hanazawa voicing Dobato(as far as ANN can say) ...hm very interesting nano desu, so far my favorite character she's voiced was Angelica in the Gunslinger Girl series nano desu. So looking forward to this nano desu!!!!!

Sadly, I never got to finish the sequel (Il Teatrino) for being so damn different from the first series. Anyways, my favorite character that she's portrayed has got to be Sora from Sketchbook ~full colors~. :D

Kobato looks like an older Sakura with long hair... least that was what first crossed my mind. I'll definitely take a look into this series.

Well the two series are very different from each other just from an artistic standpoint alone, I won't push u to finish it thou nano desu, Sora's character was nice as well nano desu


Yea same for me, when I first saw the manga, bout a year ago i guess, I saw Dobato on the cover and just went into a craze, grabbed it and went straight to the cashier, I wanted to read it then and there nano desu! Been loving it since then nano desu

looks nice.......il add this to my watch list

Also, if this is the first time you'd be listening to ^this, be warned: 4:14 :razz:




How about you simply go ahead and spoil me as I really doubt I'd be able to watch it again. It's just that the first season was fuckin awesome and to think that I was so excited upon learning of Il Teatrino, only to be so damn disappointed after just the first episode. :roll: Even Rico's personality changed so drastically! She's btw my fav girl in the series, or in the first series rather.

Maybe all I need is one good push... Try me?


She really was, but only at first sight. :D She easily distinguished her own image to me as soon as I saw more pics of her.

PS: As if the CM even needed to be sub'd: [ACG] Kobato - Promo 01 [14544536].†‹avi :razz:

I watched episode one, and while it wasn't amazing, it had that certain charm CLAMP anime usually do have. Her personality is just win.

Also I was slightly disappointed with the opening, I mean, Maaya Sakamoto does much better work than the opening performance. However I think it'll grow on me.

Here is an insert song from near the end of the episode.
