History YMMV / Kobato

* TastesLikeDiabetes: For some, Kobato herself.

* ValuesDissonance: At the end of the anime, both Fujimoto and Kobato [[spoiler:push Sayaka to go back to Okiura]]. This seems heartwarming on the surface, but on later reflection it seems very strange that they would want her to go back to someone who was ''openly emotionally abusive'' (even if he did it under the assumption that his own father would be more proactive in hounding her).

* AwesomeMusic: The series main opening, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GX6pKD6ik "Magic Number"]]. Maaya Sakamoto never disappoints.

* FridgeBrilliance: At first, you might think that Fay joking about Ioyorgi being Kurogane's AlternateUniverse counterpart is just a simple ActorAllusion, until you realize that Ioryogi is a stuffed dog and in ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', Fay is always constantly referring to Kurogane as a dog!
** Also, He even looks a bit like Kurogane in his true form (only shown in the manga).

---> Ginsei: NO! That is because the only person who can win against Iorogi is me! So before that happens, won't allow him to admit defeat to anyone else.

* NightmareFuel: Ushagi-san, a cute, white, [[PerpetualExpression perpetually smiling]] [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter rabbit]] who is a messenger of God. Oh, and he [[EvilLaugh giggles maniacally.]]

** Episode 24, too. [[spoiler: You've had me waiting all these years. You're late again. Cue Kobato hugging Fujimoto tearfully while playing Ashita Kuru Hi in the background.]] But that's more of a case of YMMV.

This can seem SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} when you don't think too much about it, but on later reflection, it seems very strange that they would want her to go back to someone who was openly emotionally abusive, even if he did it because he thought it would be better than if it were his father.

** Kobato's song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq0JN1jZQbU "Ashita Kuru Hi"]]. Even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SubyScCJwzA her duo with Kohaku]] is astounding beautiful.

* NeedsMoreLove

** This troper was pretty scared in that episode, too, but for a different reason. It was Ioryogi's incredibly happy voice in Kobato's fantasy about them going together on a date.
** And this troper thought she was the only one to be freaked out by Ushagi! Honestly, they weren't that creepy in the ''Wish'' manga. In the manga, they were actually really cute.

* MoodWhiplash: That eyecatch can be ''very'' jarring. Particularly when it comes after listening to a child screaming his grief to the snow on Christmas.
