I love the Tsubasa manga, I’m a big fan but I was really dissapointed when the OVA’s came out. The chapters I most wanted to see come to life were the Fai/Yuui story and they completely bypassed it. It’s without a doubt the most memorable part of the whole series. I’m just going to hold on to the hope that CLAMP desides to come out with another set of OVA’s covering what they missed. And then maybe you’d like these ones better because you might get what’s going on.

Okay. The explanation as to why the OVA is for the manga fans only:
CLAMP asked magazine subscribers what arc they wanted to see animated the most. The Tsubasa Chronicle anime got ditched because Japanese fans ditched it themselves. Tsubasa is, of course, most popular in Japan, and what popularity wants, they get. Thus, CLAMP got the feedback that most people wanted the Japan Arc animated next. And so what happened? Well, lookey here. XD This is not Ohkawa’s fault, for once, though she could’ve said something against it and didn’t (to my knowledge). Their editor thought up the idea (he’s like, their best friend, so why not?).

It’s far from what I’ve been expecting, I don’t know why but I didn’t like this first ep, manga or not.

Btw this wasnt released a half year ago as far as i know it got released mar 17.

And this was certainly for the manga fans and im glad they made this one because the manga story is much better then the weak one of the 2nd season. I do hope they make an OVA of the missing arcs though (just for the sake of completion)

I haven’t watched the manga, but I’ve read the background on wikipedia, so I’ll be able to understand what’s going on. What I’m really hoping for, is for them to make an OVA of the missing arcs.

glad that we finally get to see some manga-related crossovers between tsubasa and xxxholic.

have to agree with the others who have commented. this OAV is for those who have read the manga, NOT for those who have watched the anime only.

after all, the manga’s storyline is a lot stronger than the train-wreak of a storyline that happened in season 2.

well, the makes doesen’t have to make the arcs of each, since the OADs are extra from the manga and they al know what happened before all this. if you watching it without knowledge its your fault. and watanuki is and very important person (manga readers knows why) and i’m very happy to see him with syaoran. and don’t worry, he goes in the next episode, so he doesen’t need to fight the superhumans. sry for my bad english~

“so they went with their own direction, which might have been a success or a complete flop, we’ll never know. ”

You mean most fans going this is absolute crap and CLAMP themselves changing studios wasn’t enough of an indication for you it flopped?

Well, I was really sad too that they did not go for the Celes and Infinity arc especially after I want to more Fai’s story being animated. However, I was still happy because at least there was Tomoyo. I’m a huge fan of Tomoyo so seeing her again was nice.

well if you complain because they are going for the manga readers then you should read the manga. I was totally ticked when they ditched the crossovers. I have been reading both Tsubasa and XXX holic at the same time, its a blast. The story is awesome in both manga. XXXholic anime is pretty good. I just wish they didn’t fudge up Tsubasa. It just rocks. In the scale of priorities, Manga trumps Anime in this one. If the Manga is that good leave it alone. It would be like Jackson messing with the story of Lord of the rings and changing the ending to have them fail. Though that would be interesting, you don’t do it.

Ehh… Realy, read the manga.) It’s beautiful, captivating and you will find a lot of things they “accidently” missed in the anime. For example - that Bee-Train trashed not only the story, but the whole setting (IMHO, of course). They can do good job, just here they didn’t.

LOL They skipped two major arcs - Infinity and Ceres - the fallout of Tokyo and everyone getting over it and all of Fai’s backstory (how Fai isn’t exactly Fai but Fai’s twin brother Yuui).

Kurogane sacrificed his arm so that Yuui would live.

The anime was very faithfull to the manga, that last arc aside. It’s only problem was that they toned and dumbed everything down to target it at 7-yr old girls, so I’m glad CLAMP stopped it. The Tokyo/Infinity/Ceres part of the story was very bloody and disturbing…

This WAS for the manga fans. Why do you think they sold it WITH the manga. It’s the anime version of the volume. And to hell with Bee-Train, they fuck up the anime so bad.
