Yeah i understand where you're coming from, though personally it looks like they made this connection on purpose.

Just read up to the current manga chapter, and it's definately cute. I'll probably watch this and see how it plays out. Kobato's really just darling

Also, why is there a period after the title? For some reason it's really bugging me ._.

If you are referring to how Sakura is used in Tsubasa, I didn't mind that part.. in fact, that was one of the reasons why I got into Tsubasa.

I'm talking about how CCS was modified through Tsubasa.

Think of Tsubasa as a sequel. I know I wanted more when CCS ended.

Kobato is cute, and I like her clothes a lot.

I'm so looking forward for this anime. It's probably going to be my favourite for this year.

I've noticed the dot at the end of the title. It looks like CLAMP is following this fashion of j-rock bands with these names full of signs, capital letters in the middle, etc... Look at Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and xxxHoLic names and you'll see.

When I first saw one of those crossovers in a CLAMP manga I found it interesting, but nowadays I think they are really overusing it. But what bothers me the most is that in the recent works you end up having to know about all of their stories in order to really understand what's happening. Oh, well...

00JouS · 2009-08-17, 03:37

I love the crossovers. I think there were a bit too many in Tsubasa, but I love how they're used in Kobato. It's kind of a geek bonus. ("Oh look, there's Himawari in the background!", "So Piffle is a pizza delivery service now.

", "I recognize this drugstore!")

I guess it's a "love it or hate it" thing.

I think Kobato is supposed to have a different outfit in every episode (a bit like CCS) and I can't wait to see what the designers come up with.

There's plenty of material for them to use from the manga, but yes i can't wait to see what anime original outfits they come up with.

wandering-dreamer · 2009-08-17, 14:52

At the very least if the anime deal doesn't work out for her then Kobato would make a pretty nice model, lol.

kirio · 2009-08-18, 08:24

omg *_* i love this manga of CLAMP

wandering-dreamer · 2009-08-29, 13:14

NHK has a website up for Kobato here and (I can't remember if this link was posted) here is the TV website.

Shiroth · 2009-08-29, 15:10

Checked out NHK's website the other day, shame it's under construction.

Love the look of the second site, though shame there's no new information.

Miyotan · 2009-09-03, 08:14

This is one of the anime I'm most looking forward for ;3;
Kobato is one of my favorite manga and I spazzed when I found out it was being animated.

There's actually two images up. Just refresh the page, and you'll see for yourself.

I simply adore that image of Kobato with the umbrella out. Truly brings out all the warmth of her character.

& here it is:

Simply beautiful.

Sorry for the double post, though we have more information on the cast members.

Kohaku: Chiwa Saitou
Kiyokazu Fujimoto: Tomoaki Maeno
Sayaka Okiura: Fumiko Orikasa
Chitose Mihara: Houko Kawashima
Kazuto Okiura: Shinichiro Miki

For anyone wondering, Kazuto is the

Spoiler for small spoiler from the manga:

Chiwa is spot on for Kohaku, & i like the choice for Fujimoto.

wandering-dreamer · 2009-09-07, 14:50

Hmm, I don't really recognize the names so I'm still waiting on a trailer. Strange, I would have thought that one would be out by now, not giving themselves a lot of time to advertise.

Here's the ANN pages for the sieyuu's.

Chiwa Saito
Tomoaki Maeno
Fumiko Orikasa
Houko Kuwashima
Shinichiro Miki

I'm sure you'll recognize a few.

wandering-dreamer · 2009-09-07, 20:44

Did recognize a few names but I couldn't drag up any voices to match them though.

And Tomoaki Maeno was even one of the leads in Libary Wars, how can I forget that one?!?

Keeping that role in mind, i can see him doing a good job as Fujimoto.

I'm sure you'll recognize a few.

Apart from Maeno (I'm assuming rookie status), I recognise everyone. This is some serious cast.

Even without reading Kobato, I'm expecting Miki to use his Lockon voice again.
