I met Kobato about 11 years ago, and I don’t even remember how I found it. But most likely, I came across it because of the genre of “everyday”. Horazd later, I discovered that this series was based on the manga of the same name created by the CLAMP collective, who had previously created such a beautiful manga "Chobita".
The plot tells about Kobato Hanato, a kind and diligent girl. She died indefinite time before the events of the series. Her assistant Yoregi, a representative of the spirit world, was turned into a soft toy to get used to life on earth and fill the bottle with fragments of human suffering for one year.
Unlike the manga “To love-ru”, where the plot was filled with vulgarity and nudity of the characters, this anime is underestimated for its plot, Kobato’s kind behavior, often her naivety in the plot and how Yoregi is angry with her because of it. I was pleased to look at the picture and how the main character dressed in very cute dresses and hats. This project was created by the women’s collective CLAMP. In addition, in the anime you can see twin girls very reminiscent of Chi and Freya from the Chobits.
In contrast to the manga storyline on which the anime was based, the ending of the series is different, as is the length of the story itself, where additional storylines are added. For example, the story of the felling of an old tree in the kindergarten area, the defense of which stood the main characters.
Like the manga, I recommend this anime to watch, because it has stories more broadly about Kobato.
