xxxHOLiC / Re: Who is Watanuki's #1?

« on: September 07, 2008, 03:24:42 PM »

Right now I'm agreeing with the previous post and saying it looks like Watanuki has a lot of precious people but no one most precious.  If anyone I'd say Doumeki.

I never really thought that he would 'end up with' Himawari, but the scene where he tells her that he's happy to have met her and that he loves to see her smile most of all--always, always gets to me.

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE / Re: Your thoughts on TRC's connection with CCS (spoilers ahead)

« on: September 07, 2008, 03:13:27 PM »

When we first got the spoiler I was among the *headdesk* bunch who were assuming that CLAMP was using this connection as a way to bring in more readers.  I’m still skeptical of the CCS connection because of the appearance of CCS Sakura in the OAD and because of the way Yuko was talking about the Trc SxS and CCS SxS in the first volumes of xxxHolic, but really I'm amused too.

It is his mother and it isn't his mother.  Yuko mentioned in Holic, didn't she?  Bodies, souls, and words are all things that 'bind' us.  Though the latter more readily binds us to our own fate, bodies and souls can bind others in the way words can too.  If you saw someone who looked like your father then you would call out to him as father.  Whether or not this person is really your father you've already bound them to the word 'father' because of their body.  I just love the idea of the 'binds' and the sick twisted way it can play into this manga and in real life too.  And I would love it if 'Sakura' wasn't even the person that 'Syaoran' had waiting for him, but because he wanted her to be the one she became that person in his eyes. 

It confuses me about Syaoran Sr and ‘Syaoran’ Jr though.  Because so far we know that the only way someone who shares the same soul can meet is in a dream.  Which means that either father or son isn’t a ‘Syaoran-soul’ or they live in a dream.  Which I was starting to wonder at since the only time we ‘saw’ Syaoran Sr was within a dream within a flashback.

But you know even if Clow Country ends up being a Dreamscape and 'Sakura' is really CCS!Sakura stuck in this dream and has lost her memories of CCS!Syaoran and 'Syaoran' is really just a cloned body of his father with Watanuki's soul--even with all the crazy possibilities, I don't think it's strange for 'Syaoran' to consider someone with the same body as his mother or even his mother most precious in this series.  You can love someone most of all without wanting to have sex with them or anything like that.  Like how Karura loved her sister most of all.  Of course, then you have Setsuka…

I was looking through the first part and I do remember reading that, but I never knew she finished the second part so thank you!!  And I always wondered where that Syaoran and Watanuki with the Mokonas picture came from....

And yes, the one I read recently was at starlady's.

General CLAMP Discussion / Re: Unfinished titles....

I hope we get to see that too!  Ran only has a little longer to live, right? But I wonder if he'll age anymore.  Maybe his brother will find out he's about to die and he'll come again.  And I have to say that kill device in Gingetsu's head never sat well with me...

But I also want to see how that promise between Kazuhiko and him came about with not dying.  That was always pretty powerful.

Actually they made a book. I don't know if you've read them, but that's what the "Soel to Larg: Mokona=Modoki no Bouken" are about. Its a picture book of short drabbles about Mokona and Modoki's life with Clow and Yuuko just after they were created- and this is back in the days when Clow had Kero and Yue <3

I remember reading something recently.  I'm not sure if that was it or not.  Yuuko was calling Clow 'a sly pair of glasses' or something...?  I don't think there was any Kero and Yue in it though.  The scenes were going between Watanuki and Yuuko and Clow and Yuuko.....

Yes, yes, yes!  Please finish X.  Though I wonder about the change of the artwork too….there’s already a number of different styles going on. Most people make faces at the beginning artwork but I like that too Hehe. 

But I would also really like to see them finish Clover.  Supposedly there’s to be two more volumes and I want to guess that we get some back story on Gingetsu (since he’s a clover) and maybe Kazuhiko?

In fact as CLAMP has said, Yuuko is probably a strong enough character to lead a manga all by herself.

Sigh.  If they made a manga for Clow and/or Yuuko I would be a very, very happy person.

Well for TsubasaRC I think CLAMP is truly insane in what thoughts they're trying to present through a medium of manga.  They have played some very, very risky moves, especially by cutting away the main character.  They break boundaries and as ideology goes the series is rather interesting but….for a series as a whole....I had to vote for xxxHolic.  I <3 this manga.

Where TRC stops short at trying to get it's stronger points across, xxxHolic is deep and beautiful with their inner and outer story.  As people have said, the art work is absolutely gorgeous.

And Yuuko just does an amazing job as someone who knows all, can do nothing about it, but can still laugh and enjoy her liquor <3  I wish I had a great reason for loving Watanuki as much as I do too but…I really love it when he’s a spaz. lol
