In that case, let's put it to good use!

I adore Fai's dream! And Fai's face when he sees Chii is AWESOME! OMG!
I wonder what the deal with Chii is... I don't really get what they're saying...
I ADORE the song that plays near the end! But I don't like all the FaixChii. Well, atleast the face Kurogane makes when Fai hugs Chii cracked me up. He didn't wanna watch! XD  (Plus, he looked awfully happy to leave.)

Animation was superb. Music was superb. All in all, a nice episode.

Suuuuch a corny episode. Way too much cheesiness. I despised Chii in Chobits and when I first heard she was in Tsubasa I was a bit wary. I am glad she doesn't make as much of an appearance in the manga, but darn the anime for bringing her in.
Show content
I couldn't help but laugh at Fai's dream with the giant Ashura XD this whole episode was supposed to be cute and serious, but I just found myself rolling my eyes and laughing at how corny it was. Maybe it's because FaixChii is a bad pairing in my opinion....

CHII'S VOICE WAS SO ANNOYING. I will hate her seiyuu forever.

As for technical aspects, it was very pretty. Bad episode, great animation.

I could have done without this filler, I feel it was unnecessary. I'm just glad they're back to the story next episode.

Did anyone catch the new insert song? :3 The vocals sounded to me like FictionJunction KAORI. They sound much better in Japanese, it would seem.

A rip of the song, from the episode:

Too much hugging....made me want to cry because now even more people might pair up FaiXChi  :cry:
The music was nice and I couldn't help but giggle at the way Fai just fell after all that running in the dream XD
I kinda don't want to see the translation though....I hope that it doesn't make it even more sappy...
Poor Kuro though...Landing on his face and then being imprisoned! Not for that long though lol

Moko: Nyaaa Kurogane Kawaii

Ahaha he was! XD

Goody!  I really didn't care for this episode, but anything that gives me material for more KuroXFai videos works for me (I'll just take it out of context, fufufufu!).  What I'm happy about is that we are going back to Clamp written storyline next week, and that we didn't miss Shurano after all! And because Fai mentioned Ashura so much in this episode, there is a good chance we will get to see the KuroXFai goodness from that world that we've all been waiting for!  Maybe they'll even leave in the drinking! :hello2:

The animation in the ep was very pretty, I'll agree, but I just don't like the variety of facial expressions they've been giving Fai this season.  He doesn't show that much emotion on his face.  He just doesn't.  It goes against his character, I think.  A mask doesn't change while you're wearing it, ya know?

Post by: Chibikawa on June 05 2006, 09:15 am
Well, it looks like I couldn't resist watching this episode RAW. Even though, I didn't enjoy it too much.
Show content
Some parts I found to be boring(basically because I don't understand a lot of Japanese). But Fai certainly deserved his own episode. I'm glad they didn't assume anything about Fai's past in this episode, though that giant-Ashura dream was very... odd. I never liked Chobits, therefore I never liked Chii, nor her voice in this episode. A lot of things also seemed to be happening very suddenly. I have to ask why Fai so willingly abandoned Sakura to disappear off with Chii. That castle place was dangerous.
On the good points, that animation and music were beautiful.And the corniness was quite funny.
But I was thinking. This episode may have been pointless(considering there was no feather), but the mentioning of Ashura leads up to the next episodes, where Ashura actually shows up. That might have been the meaning for the delay of these next few episodes.

Just watched the raw and all I can say is, when the he** are they gonna cut the fillers?!  :angry: I am sick of all these fillers and can't stand that this barely helped the anime at all. My only regret is watching it because now I'll have to watch it again when it gets subbed so I can understand all 100% of the episode instead of 75%. This is so annoying for me.  -_-

Ok, now I'm in love, well not totaly, with Bee Train, yes, sometimes the Animation sucks, story lines are messed with, having one thing wrong, then trying to fix it later, but the fillers all so make it fun. I thought it was cute, and that it should not be bashed, since a lot of fans are doing it, me mostly bashing Bee Train, but having a change is alright, and its something most people arn't expecting. It isn't a good epi, but I liked it none the less. I wish they would do A Kuro-Fai epi soon as a filler, since it they do have a Touya Yukito every epi or so, so please people, quit bashing poor Bee Train until they really need it.

Don't worry about it. I know very little Japanese but that is one of the few words I have picked up, after hearing kawaii for the first 100 times then realizing that the characters weren't calling things cute, but frightening ;_; hahaha.

Guess I was wrong. ^^ (Someone pointed it out that it may be because there were quite a few bloody scenes and therefore not animated.) Lol, Syaoran with long hair... X) Can't wait to see it. :)

Personally, I WANT more fillers. I find the characters get a lot more time to develop with these eps and if their a one episode arc we know the pace will be super fast (like the last three eps) and won't bore us like several of the longer ones from the first season.

I've loved all the "filler" so far this season!

Yup, I guess the Shura arc will have about 3 or 4 episodes. Unless they start filling it with useless bantering, and Ryuuoh talks, like they did in Outo. (Okay, so Ryuuoh didn't appear in Shura country in the manga... But Beetrain seems to love the kid.)

I'm really giddy, because this means they're gonna get the entire Lecourt country arc (*squeee!*) in this season too! And probably the world that comes after it. ^_^

i hope that after the shura arc they give us the Country of Idols (the little talking fox thingies) then do the lecourt arc.

he was probably startkled. he's quite powerful and maybe the spell casted was powerful (he has strong intuition, maybe he felt the wave of power ) also, it HAS been almost a  year since fai's used his own magic, so maybe he was caoght offguard taht way too.

You don't like Yasha/Ashura? XD Because of the age difference? Or you just don't think they make a good couple? I must admit, I was far more comfortable with Yasha/Ashura in Shurano than in RG Veda, because of the whole age difference thing. In RG Veda Yasha/Ashura was sometimes too much like pedophilia for my taste. >< I still wanted them to get together, just when Ashura was a bit older.

Post by: mela on June 07 2006, 06:19 am
Well, in terms of Ashura (son) in RG Veda, he was only a little kid because he had been sealed away. If you remember, he had a twin brother who was already grown. Every time Ashura used a lot of power he would age more, if I remember correctly. So he was physically a little kid (who continued to grow in random bursts) but he was "old" already. So when Ashura finally became "adult" in appearance was when he matched his actual age (I don't remember, but I want to say something like he had been sealed away 300 years? I might just be making that up though, so don't count on it).

Post by: mela on June 07 2006, 08:59 am
What about Yasha then? How old is he?
Hm. I am not really sure. Yasha is about the same age as Kendappa.  Ashura's twin brother is all in love with and wants to marry Kendappa, so I assume that the age difference between Kendappa, Yasha, Ashura and his brother are not very big at all.

So after Ashura loses his child appearance, I don't see an issue between Yasha and Ashura being together.

Now the problem lies here, I think. If Ashura is genderless (in RG Veda, even though he's referred to as 'he' for translation purposes), do you think they would make him into a girl in the anime O_O

@___@ Ahh, I vaguely remember Syaoran referring in the manga to Ashura as a 'she', which scared me... But he's constantly referred to as the 'God of War', not the 'Goddess...'. Would the anime really change that drastically just to avoid teh gay?

I never saw it as "she' in the manga, I made a point to look out for that T_T maybe I missed something. But yeah, I agree. The most I see them doing is giving them a really feminine sounding voice, but there's a tendency to do that in anime anyway... ^^;

Same here. XD Well, in the same way that Mokona could imitate Kuro's voice (which was delightful XD), maybe Fai's magic allows him to speak in Mokona-voice? Gee, Kuro must not like it very much. XD *mental image of Kuro being stalked by Fai and Mokona both teasing him in Mokona's Voice* XD

Same here. XD Well, in the same way that Mokona could imitate Kuro's voice (which was delightful XD), maybe Fai's magic allows him to speak in Mokona-voice? Gee, Kuro must not like it very much. XD *mental image of Kuro being stalked by Fai and Mokona both teasing him in Mokona's Voice* XD

Haha, I loved it when Mokona did Kurogane's voice in the anime. "Kurogane ureshii!" is practically the whole reason why I don't want to murder the anime XD But this episode made me go back to wanting to slap the brains out of BeeTrain 6_6

Not only that, but the animation quality is a bit, well, bad. *snort* This episode had nice animation, but I hated the story. Other episodes have nice stories but really bad animation. AND I WANT THEM TO GET DRUNK. It is so weird but that is one of my pet peeves. No drunk Syaoran trying to fight with a ladle and no drunk Sakura and Fai meowing... *sobs* The soundtrack is very pretty though. I just wonder how bad they are going to mess up this next arc. I heard it was only 4 episodes long... o_o Huh.

I know, I stopped watching the anime for so long, I just recently started to watch it again... xD; Then I got into the manga again, and I'm still surprised at how infinitely better it is. The anime is only worthwhile because of sounds made from Fai (Hyuu!), and Mokona and the battle music. *__* Yeaah, did they really leave out the drunk parts? T__T I loved those parts- I wondered whether I might've missed it >__<

Nyaa, I've heard so many things about Chii's voice being grating and annoying and I'm scared to watch it now. XD

I wonder whether they'll show Fai's surprise if he finds out that it's Kid!Ashura he's supposed to be facing, not his!Ashura. XD;;; They left that out in the manga and it made me saaad.

Yup, they cut out all the drunken parts, I guess it has something to do with the intended audience and broadcasting channel. I really don't know. All traces of alcohol are cut out pretty much, except when they go into Clover because well, it's a bar. Fai's seiyuu is definitely another reason I like watching the anime, he does a good job. I don't have a problem with any of the seiyuu, actually, it's just the crappy story alterations they make T_T The manga is infinitely superior, it actually makes me care a lot for the characters, while when I had only watched the anime I was like "Eh, it's nice but..."

The annoyingness of Chii's voice only added to the whole annoyingness of the episode, sadly.

Hm, I wonder if they'll show Fai's reaction to the name Ashura, because I know Kuropon comments on it but they never actually show it, I think.

no they never showed us fai's face when the priest mentioned "ashura" but im sure it will be similar to that horific tiny pupiled look we saw when kuro menioned the name.

I said this on my LJ, but I'll say it again. Seeing Fai attempt to pass himself off as heterosexual is painful.
You don't like Yasha/Ashura? XD Because of the age difference? Or you just don't think they make a good couple? I must admit, I was far more comfortable with Yasha/Ashura in Shurano than in RG Veda, because of the whole age difference thing. In RG Veda Yasha/Ashura was sometimes too much like pedophilia for my taste. >< I still wanted them to get together, just when Ashura was a bit older.
It wasnt the age difference so much, ok there was a difference and there's a whole other wrongness I have yet to explore there. But for the entire manga they acted like father and son, people refered to them as father and son. Putting them together romanticaly seemed liek a relationship for the sake of a relationship because their love was platonic. They're too close to family. Just because they're not blood related doesnt make them any less of a father and son and there was never a hint of anything but that unitl the final pages.
That's why I oppose to Ashura/Yasha.

In the back of book 9, is says 'We purposely don't refer to Ashura as a man or woman, no charaters calls ashura she or he as in the Japanese no honorifics are used to define his/her sex'

so... I don't think they are avoiding the 'gay relationship'... at least... not on purpose..

And I agree with what you said about the drunken antics being cut out. Maybe its because they think Syaoran and Sakura are too young so its wrong to show it. The drinking age in Japan is 21 right?

Its only 18 here XDD LOL.
Can't say I've ever run around with a ladel.

Chii looked great, but why is her voice so annoying?! I agree with everyone here who thought it was squeeky. It gave me a HUGE head ache... Anyway, Sumomo and Kotoko were wonderful, it was nice seeing them in their 'original' size. Their huge appearance in Ôto scared me.
I don't get much of the episode, so I'll watch it again later when it's subtitled. Still, I wasn't too fond of it (although there's a lot of FAI in it! <3). Like I said, I don't get the storyline but judging from the events it seemed pretty... lame. I'll take back my words if it's a very interesting story after all, but it just didn't seem like it. And besides, three filler episodes in a row is just too much.

Reliefment! Next episode is finally Shurano/Sharano! I'm sooooo happy. I loved that world with Syaoran and his wig (Cardcaptor Sakura volume 5 flashback!) and Sakura kissing his eye. Nyaaa! x3

My japanese is not so good, but I thought sayonara was a farewell like 'we'll never see each other again," and if you planned on meeting again, you would say "mata" or something?  I'm just thinking that if I'm right about that, it is kind of sad/sweet that Fai tells her it means something it doesn't. Any clarifications there?

i am not so sure with semantic use of sayonara and mata, since i am not a language expert.
Lets wait for the sub and see how they translate that part.

i think sayonara is more formal way of saying goodbye and mata ne, mata ashita, bai-bai is more informal use for everyday conversation.

In chinese, the word goodbye (zai jian or zai-hue,,, )  has a double fold meaning.  One is bye for now and the other is let's meet again.  I think may be Fay is refering to this double fold meaning.

::sigh:: This episode was well animated but it did nothing for me. 
[rant]Chii was FAR cuter in Chobits and there was so little chemistry between her and Fai that it seemed rather trite.  I wouldn't mind the fillers so much if they were interesting (like the two fillers from season one and the first filler in this season) but these last two were awful, only relying on 'cuteness' factor to keep people interested and that's not what Tsubasa is about!  It's a SHOUNEN manga! [/rant]

If only they'd used this animation crew for the next episode instead of wasting them with this...rubbish.

I'm not normally one to bash things, but they REALLY seem to have lost the plot for this anime.  They take perfectly good manga storylines, remove anything entertaining from them to condense the length down, use poor animation staff on them and then create boring filler episodes with the better animation crews to use up the time they lost from shortening the manga storyline.

Post by: dark_persian on June 19 2006, 09:55 pm
If I’m honest, this episode actually made me feel quite ill. True the animation was beautiful but the story itself was so far off-cannon it destroyed whatever enjoyment I might have had from watching it.

This episode makes me wonder if CLAMP are even consulted at all about the numourous changes that the writers of the anime have made to the Tsubasa story. Most likely, they aren’t and that bothers me a lot.
As much as I dislike the filler episodes at least they have all been cute and non-plot inpacting before this one.
I’m a huge fan of the adorable Hideki x Chii relationship from Chobits and I also enjoy the different relationship that CLAMP wrote for Fai and Chii in Tsubasa, which seemed very much one of Creator/Creation, Master/Assistant (Servent/Pet?). Fai certainly didn’t seem that corcerned with leaving Chii behind in his world, he seemed more in pain over what had happened with Ashra (whatever that might turn out to be). Fai left Chii behind with nothing more than a quick, cutesy cuddle, a pat on the head and a few “Good Chii, good Chii”s, as if she was some kind of pet.
As CLAMP have regularly stated in the manga, alternate versions of characters all share the same soul. So, of course, if Chii were to be with anyone, it would be Hideki, her soulmate, her “Special someone just for her.”, no matter what dimention she’s in (as with Arashi and Sorata, Yuki and Toya, Syaoran and Sakura etc). I’m pretty certain CLAMP wouldn’t throw their entire Chobits series out the window just to pair Fai with Chii. Don’t get me wrong, there certainly seems to be affection there, but in no way did the manga make it seem like romantic affection.
So, to me, it just feels like a step too far by the writers of the anime. It feels like they’re trying to take the reigns from CLAMP and write the relationships and stories the way they want them.

Post by: Mizumi on June 20 2006, 01:56 am
I totally agree with dark_persian above! The storyline is... eh.
I just watched the episode with subtitles and what can I say... it's a complete chobits-flashback, but then with Fai instead of Hideki. Teaching Chii words, taking her out, the chemistry, problems ahead, Chii losing her memory... It annoyed me every second. I'll admit it, the art was beautiful, but the story was... ugh. Almost as if this was a promotion episode for the Tsubasa-readers that don't know Chobits. They've made a stap too far indeed by suggesting that something more is going on between Fai and Chii. Come on, we don't know, Chii never appeared again after chapter 2! They can't know, unless CLAMP told BeeTrain the entire story, but I doubt that. (Episode 30 looked awefully lot like a correction of episode 26).
Really. It was a Chobits-flashback, entirely - I almost started to miss Zima, Dita and my cute pink Atashi. Sigh. I'm glad they're getting back to the real story next episode. Only positive thing I can say is, the art was great in this episode, but further...
Sorry, I'm just disappointed.

I've yet to finish reading Chobits, but I've heard so many people say this is so much like Chobits, so I believe it. Touya and Yuki were stuck in this episode in an attempt to avoid an uprising among the fans they had to know would hate this episode. "See, see? We're not REALLY trying to ignore Fai's blatant gayness. We swear. Here's an ambiguously portrayed gay couple. Pleasedon'tkillusweswearwewon'tdoitagain." Anywho.

It was just a sickenly blatent attempt to leech off of the sucess of Chobits. If I spoke any Japanese I would have written a strongly worded email to BEE TRAIN asking them to actually READ the manga and stop trying to make up their own fanficesk-episodes.

As has already been show with episode 26 and 30, they can't even keep their own plot-hole-filled stories straight. Now with this episode, by attempting to be clever and write big, plot-impacting stories themselves they've boxed themselves into a corner that they're going to find it very difficult to get themselves out of when CLAMP finally does write the end of the story and reveal Fai's past.

My personal opinion on Tsubasa Chii is that she was created to be Fai's magical assistant. As we saw in the Outo arc, he asks Sakura to help run the shop with him and help him out with the cooking. He then tells Sakura that to him cooking and baking is much like the creating of spells and magical artifacts. So, my theory is that he was asking Sakura to be his assistant in replacement of Chii - every magican needs an assistant. :)

Maybe it's because I've never liked "cutesy" relationships, but I did NOT get romantic vibes from this episode. Even when Chi kept saying things about how she wanted to run away with Fai, I STILL could not think of them as a couple. The whole thing felt very brother/sisterly, which is the absolute most the Fai/Chi relationship can be for me.

This episode has just further increased the feeling of lifelessness the anime seems to have.

Jima and Dita!  OMG they are my favourites from Chobits!  They need to appear in TRC and they need to appear yesterday! *fangirl*

Dammit, now I have to read Chobits again and squee over all the Dita/Jima scenes.

Now if they had an episode of Fay-tachi trying to save Chii (who looks like his cute little assistant who he thinks of as a pet) from Dita and Jima who are trying to capture her and send her back to a lab/prison/workhouse and lots of Syaoran and Kurogane jumping around on rooftops after the pair only to come face to face with hissing little alleycat Dita (instead of big, tall Jima) whilst Jima tries to sweet talk Fay and Sakura into getting the puppies to stay out of things so he can grab Dita and set up a scheme to let Chii go (cause Jima's a sweetheart) and he and Dita can disappear and be cute together...that is a filler I would enjoy (okay, it wouldn't have a very good plot but it would have Dita and Jima!  And rooftop jumping action!).

I felt this episode was a huge disappointment.  I really do think this was the first episode that I've had to stop a couple of times half-way through because I was bored.

When I first saw the previews for it (oh so long ago) I was happy because yay, a Fye ep!  But now that I've finally seen the episode I have to agree with those who have been saying that it seemed like a rip-off of Chobits because that's exactly what it was.  It was an Chobits AU but with Fye instead of Hideki.

But I think the real disappointment comes from the fact that the ep *could* have been done better even if Bee Train wanted to a Chobits rip-off.  Instead of having those weird soldiers chasing Chi and Fye they could have used Zima and Dita instead.  Hideki could have been used somewhere.  Instead of Chi being upset about not being able to leave the castle they could have done something where she was depressed because being Queen kept her away from her true love and needed Fye's help in cheering up/finding Hideki.

Ahahaha, beautiful! Very insightful remark by Touya there...

i like this diaologue better than YGO's. YGO got alot of things wrong. "

"next episode Ashura's Saying"

did ashura ever way anything? legend, origin, HISTORY are way better. -_- YGO neds a new writer, and we need a new translater for Dattebeyo(SP) :(

wow... Thanks for your compliment  ~cookie
i do also commit some mistakes like it should be gate rather than door.

Despite of negative statements, i still like this filler episode.  They might not be faithful with the manga but the story didn't bored me at all and in addition I am a big fan of  fiction junction music.

If Bee Train wanted to a Chobits rip-off. Instead of having those weird soldiers chasing Chi and Fye they could have used Zima and Dita instead. Hideki could have been used somewhere. Instead of Chi being upset about not being able to leave the castle they could have done something where she was depressed because being Queen kept her away from her true love and needed Fye's help in cheering up/finding Hideki.

Now, that is an episode I would have loved because it would have fitted in perfectly with CLAMP canon-verse! It would have been so cute! Plus we would have gotten to see the ever fantastic Dita and Zima again and more Hideki x Chii to keep us all "Aww"ing.

Oh, agreed!  I think Dita and Jima are now at the top of my 'Clamp Character's I REALLY want to appear in TRC' (now that Subaru has kinda shown up...wait, Hokoto, Dita and Jima then the Wish crew).

And how DARE they even TRY to pair Chi up with anyone other than Hideki...he's even willing to stay a virgin for her  :wink: (I doubt if Fay could say the same, although Fay's obvious gayness mutes the point anyway).

Clamp ought to include a Hideki in Fay's past now as Chi's true love...just to discredit beetrain!

I too liked the song, and like Kuro-puppy said it's called 'dreamscape'. I found it, and you can download it on http://gendou.com/amusic/?filter=Tsubasa&match=2, but you have to be a member or you can download it here, it's under 'Future Soundscape III'.  :greengrin:

I´m on the other side of most opinions here. I am going to make a long statement of my thoughts that may seem a little bit off topic but they are all the same about this ep.

First I had not watched  a Tsubasa episode for two months. I was on an internal ranting about how awful the animation and storylines had become. I trashed about everything involving Tsubasa (or Holic) anime. So I took some "time off". Then, somewhere during last week I saw somewhere a short description of some episode featuring what could be a suggestion of faixchi. That moment I knew it would have been a very controversial filler episode just based upon the huge amount of kuroxfye population. I had to watch it!

I´m a very strange person when it comes to pairings. I don´t really fall for popular ones, or easy ones, or "this is the one and only true pairing and the world has to accept it" ones. I get kinda rebel then and my bad little brain and heart make me dislike such pairings without much logical reason. As the Kuroxfye shipping became stronger, it became less appealing to me. Sure, I´m not blind and followed their whole interactions (the name callings, the angst, the talks) and liked them, but I disliked the fandom part so much. Then again, shippings are like that; pasionate about their OTP´s, I´m used to it but that didn´t make me dislike it less.

It took more than 123 manga chapters to become attached by myself to the kuroxfye pairing. It was then that on cannon I could feel I could ship them together too.  I still can´t go "kya!" for watching Fye on dresses or being a complete uke that reminds me so much of women on "novelas", which is btw normally well-accepted.

When I sat down, ready to see whatever bizarre story had ocurred to Bee Train this time I wasn´t nervous, nor biased, nor happy, just curious. While I took a break from the series I learned not to take it too serious and as someonelse stated before, I actually find much more interesting all the filler chapters than the real story ones because there´s nothing to compare them to.

Episode started. I was surprised by the good designs and decent animation on most of it, and the story, for me, was quite charming. Yeah, sickening cute, but nice anyway. I think hardcore kuroxfye fans could find good things on it if they wanted. Already read that part of Kurogane not wanting to see the hugs. You could also note that Fye never told Chii any actual romantic words, maybe he was just nice to her because she reminded him of his creation. Maybe the reason why Fye hardly answered Chii when she spoke of leaving with him was that he was thinking about Kurogane. Who knows :P

Then for those others who are not followers of kuroxfye (if any, I wonder) it was a nice break.

I know I can be stonned to death now ^^;;;
