XXXHOLiC Manga Discussion (Spoilers may be present!)
Emiko:
I actually really like the anime. They've made a few questionable choices... such as not killing the lying girl and making it possible for the girl with the wings to recover (trying to lighten XXXHolic is NOT a good idea by any means), but overall I think it's been pretty solid. The voices are good (DOUMEKI IS ZORO! ...Eeeh, maybe Yuuko's is different than I pictured her to be, but I've warmed up to it.) and I sort of like the animation, even if it's not top-notch. And they stay pretty close to the manga, maybe changing certain settlings or something, but usually the basic storyline remains unchanged. And the fillers haven't been bad (like Tsubasa'sĀ -_-).
I thought it was was cool that the second filler was derived from the manga itself (Himawari's ghost story). That's a cool compromise for the people who don't like original stories.
I sort of liked what they did with Zashiki Warashi. The park-setting was really pretty, and so was her new outfit (though I woulda liked to see her original one...). And blue hair! She looks so pretty.
Hira:
Yeah, the part where Yuuko is performing the ceremony to create gods... they can use TONS of excuses to make her MIA for that Woman-in-the-dark arc.
I mean, they changed the Valentine chocolate into red bean cakes, so it's not necessary to send the choco to Tsubasa just to match the Outo Arc in TRC.
They'll probably say that she goes off to visit client or something like that... going out of town/country/world or something. She IS a busy woman.
And... to be honest, I felt the same way about the lying girl, too. But, Show contentwhen I see the episode about ANOTHER lying girl to cheats of people PURPOSELY, not being killed, that wouldn't seem fair.They DID Show contentkill off the woman with the wishing hand of ape
Another reason why they change the setting... I think it's because they want to accomodate the time of the year. Most of the episodes, as you can see, takes place in summer, and it IS summer now. Valentine is over months ago, that'd seem weird, especially when the Show contentRain Girl shows up before the Tengu's
I just found something interesting!!!!
XXXHolic DID make a crossover reference to ONE particular work!
On Episode 14, where the four people went to watch the movie. The character in the movie Show contentJust might be the heroine from CLAMP's novel... I don't know exactly what it's called in English, but it's about that girl who can enter people's dreams, while a man is destined to be her partner

--- Quote from: sanlyn on July 12 2006, 11:10 pm ---it has something to do with copyright issues among TV station. NHK holds the copyright for Tsubasa anime in TV so it means no other tv station can air tsubasa or show characters from tsubasa other than NHK channels.
I think no tv station holds copyright for xxxHolic anime for TV since it aired in different TV stations across japan such as TBS, MBS, BS-i.
the reason why Tsubasa in NHK because the company also holds card captor sakura's copyright.
The movie has cross-over because its a different with tv and it won't air in tv anyway and more importantly, both were created by the same animation company (production IG).
yeah... movie is not created by BeeTrain.

Ah okay that makes a lot of sense. I just assumed that TRC and XXXHolic were aired on the same station.
Sailor Yue-chan:
intersting points, but also, the animation company is showing the arcs all out of order really,. non really matter when they get shown because theyre all really stand alone, but i REALLY hope they show the woman in the park BEFORE the eye arc. showing it after, or during would mess up the chemistry of the doumeki-watenuki pairing.
Emiko:
Yeah. The arc with the woman in the park was a major turning-point for the Doumeki/Watanuki relationship, whether you look at it from a romantic point-of-view or not.
