Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Anime)


I really like this series. In fact it inspired me to create clay Mokonas :D I'll have to post a picture they are WAY cute.


Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is an on going manga series by Clamp. It is currently being serialized in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. It takes place in the same fictional universe as many of Clamp's other manga series including xxxHolic, Cardcaptor Sakura, Legal Drug, Angelic Layer, X, Chobits, Magic Knight Rayearth and Tokyo Babylon.

SOOooo, This series I would like to link to XXXholic although you don't have to watch either in order. Though I would suggest watching Holic first that way you will appreciate and understand Yokos involvement and her brief cameo. But the stories are COMPLETLEY different, neither effect the other they just cross paths from time to time.. well ok ONCE so far in the Anime, I have yet to read the Manga. Also apparently its the same for Chobits and Cardcaptor, I haven't seen Cardcaptor but I have seen Chobits and I didn't see any links, though I also haven't seen season two.

Sorry for the delay in posting this one, for some reason I thought I had already. I was spurred to however by a visitor to my site seeking out info on this Anime, only to be let down because it's not UP! I'm sorry I have failed you :(

That shall be remedied I promise.

So here we go!
27 volumes of manga (there will only be 27 vols)
Tsubasa 25 Comes out in English in January 2010
Tsubasa 26 Not sure when it comes out (in english)
Tsubasa 27 Not sure when it comes out (in english)
Anime Totals 52 episodes. They don't run through all of the Manga though and it's unlikely there will be a season 3 so for more Tsubasa Chronicles hit the books stores for the finale.
Second Season
K sports fans, there are 3 OVAs called Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations, I can't find the DVDs to buy but if you want there are ways to down load them *wink wink* but don't ask me how. Though if you ask Lox nicely he might be able to help.
Tsubasa Chronicle the Movie: The Princess of the Country of Birdcages in conjunction with xxxHolic the Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream were released
Quote from Wiki:
Two original video animation (OVA) series were animated by Production I.G as sequels to the anime. They are directed by Shunsuke Tada and written by Nanase Ohkawa with music provided by Yuki Kajiura. A three-episode OVA series entitled Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations, stylized as Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS, was released between November 16, 2007 and March 17, 2008 across three DVDs bundled with limited versions of volumes 21, 22 and 23 of the manga. A two-episode OVA series entitled Tsubasa Shunraiki (ツバサ春雷記, Tsubasa Shunraiki?) lit. Tsubasa Spring Thunder Chronicles was released across of two DVDs on the first with volume 26 of the manga, which was released on March 17, 2009 and the second was released with volume 27 on May 15, 2009

The New Me.

As my newest Author announced yes I am changing my name. Have changed it actually. Why? Well T.W.I.G.G. or The way it goes Girl, was never my favorite OR my first choice. It was a rather hasty decision and I just didn't have time to change it. Besides it kinda works.

The name I've been going by for quiet sometime now is Stone~Amber, please call me Stone or any variation of that. (ie: Stoney)

On to business: I would like to welcome Loxely to my growing army of Anime Archaeologist's. Hopefully now there will be more shows uncovered for you all soon. I would like to take this time however to remind Lox that he is here to pimp Anime, not himself :P

That said I would also like to thank all those who read this, and if we've helped you at all please let us know we would be very interested in hearing from you.

Edit:
I forgot we had another change, in the form of a missing Author. Due to conflicting schedules and school time constrants Aaron has abdicated from being a blog Author. We are sad to see him leave but excited to see him pursue his goals by furthing his education and wish him luck.

5 Centimeters per Second



I've wanted to do this one for a long time, and have had it as a draft for months. But never once did I actually look into it. So finally I do and realize it's not what I thought it was, not the norm of what I've posted. 5 Centimeters Per Second is not a anime, but it's also not one cohesive film, instead it's a collection of three short episodes depicting the life and growth of the main character from elementary school, to high school, to the workforce.


Either way you're still getting it because I say so.


5 Centimeters Per Second


1: Cherry Blossom


2: Cosmonaut


3: 5 Centimeters Per second.


I personally can't wait to watch this. My sister has and loved it to bits, as well as most commentors on Amazon. The only problem it seemed any one had was that the film seems to be soaked in sap, and then apparently it missed the sap bath completely and was left dry and lifeless.. Lets all chalk this up to "everyones different" and call it square huh?

Theres a light novel of 5 Centimeters Per Second however so far its only sold in Japanese markets. It includes stories that are not featured in the anime though.. so.. if you have connections go for it.
