Out of curiousity, did you ever finish Tsubasa RC? It made me mad when they said you had to wait for the second season in April at the end of the last episode. :X

I just want to see Fye use some magic. :B I'm really interested in finding out his relationship with Ashura, too.

Although that thing with the tank and that unknown group and Syaoran makes me kinda curious, also. :0 So many things that never got explained in the first season. ;-;

You could just read the manga OWNED.

(I'm assuming the anime is closely following the manga, the first ep appeared to)

Edit: Have you seen the movie? Just found it on tokyotoshan

I have been reading the manga.... 12 volumes, and nothing's happened. XD All they've been doing is world hopping to find Sakura's feathers; there hasn't been any real plot/character development outside of that. :lol:

There's a movie? :0 I might have to look this up, thanks. =D What's it about?

Haven't seen it yet. Its only 35 min. Picking though it I see refrences to "Princess Tomoyo" so it may be getting into a deeper part of the plot.

I should hope so. :0 All this stuff with finding Sakura's feathers is all good and all, but one entire season of it and 12+ volumes of manga? You gotta be pretty dedicated to follow all that.

Although I don't mind the anime so much because Kajiura Yuki composes the most amazing soundtracks. Maybe I should by a copy of them one day rather than relying on my mp3s. :lol:

I love the fact that Tomoyo manages to be rich/powerful in every incarnation. XD

Mmm, 35 mins? I guess it's more of an OVA, then. Is it the only one, or are there more?

I downloaded the movie a while back. But it has no subtitles... I kinda know whats going on. Iunno. Haven't watched all of it. :\

No subs? That's rather surprising, given Tsubasa's popularity. o_o;

What's it about?

I've watched it. It wasn't bad actually. It was really short though. Even though I've only seen the first episode and I only have the second manga, I still got what was going on. I really liked it ^_^

I've never seen the show, but I read the manga simply because of the art and Fai/Kurogane relationship. *currently up to chapter 80 or 90-something* I heard the show wasn't as good as the manga, so I've been avoiding it for a while. But I think CLAMP added a little too much clique-ness to Tsubasa.

Now that I've seen it

The movie looks to be possibly AU to the series.
Better animated (IMO). Definitely a different animation style, more detailed and colorful.
Sakura and Syaoran look older
Same voices and music as the tv

Plot scope wasn't really any different than the average world they enter in the series -- just shorter because its done in 35 min instead of multiple eps.

I really do like Tsubasa, though. And I disagree: there's a lot of character building in it Don't you think it would be so heartbreaking to have someone that you love totally forget that you exist? I love that manga, but I've only read up to 6. I can't get any others. . . . .

;; I hate that.

But what I do love is how they include a bunch of people from other stuff! That almost drove me and my friend crazy! XD First we get to see the guys from Legal drug in XXXHolic (which we also read 1-6 in), and all the references to CardCaptor Sakura. Well, of course there's going to be, seeing how Syaoran and Sakura are them, only different versions. >.< Anyways . . . I HATE SEISHIRO!!!!! I hate him! He killed Hokuto in Tokyo Babylon, and I'll never forgive him. . . . .

;; And then all the evil stuff he did in X. And yet, my friend still loves him. *sigh*

And then, of course, there's the direct relation to Chobits, where we get to see Chi-which I love, because Chi is such a cool character. Doesn't Fai get killed by Seishiro, though? 0.0;;

The series is alright--I'm very happy with Fye's japanese voice actor. ^^- It fits him very well,and that's always how I imagined Fye to sound like. ^^- Right now I'm just extremely happy that Funimation picked up the license to the Tsubasa TV series and the Tsubasa/XXXHolic movie. ^^ I've been waiting for that for quite a while,I've only been watching the first season over and over to keep myself happy until they translate it. ^^

[quote]Doesn't Fai get killed by Seishiro, though? 0.0;; [/quote]
Yes,and no... ^^- You have to read volume 7 to find out. I'm not saying anymore.

Not anymore. Someone spoiled it for me. . . . .

;; Ah, well, Tsubasa I love still. ^_^
