That was... disturbing.

Didn't understand much, but since this guy has some plans on Sakura... Damn, it's LAME! Thay let Kuro & Fai be defeated so easily! And now thay are  trying to emphasize Syaoran's coolness <_< I'm kinda sick of this already.
And they inserted Ashura-ou again (though Fai's reaction was interesting to see... I want more hints on his past T_T) and made Kuro's opponent look like HIS FATHER!!! WTF? Oh, and Seishirou-san of course...
I think this arc is way too insolent.

*head desk* So dumb and lame.

Wtf was with the fighting in the begining? Fai starts off fighting Ashura and then ends up fighting... himself? And Kurogane fights his father? STOP WITH THE OEDIPUS COMPLEX BEETRAIN. Kurogane does not have an Oedipus Complex! But the implications of Syaoran fighting Seishirou were funny. Because we all know Sei-chan's a perv anyways.

And why did Sakura have to stare at the Syaoran wannabe for like half the episode? xd And it's ridiculous to have Fai and Kurogane beaten so easily by some lame Syaoran-copy. KAMUI couldn't even beat Kurogane.

And most of all, why must this be a three-parter? T_T

They brought back Sei-chan? o_O  I'm not even going to bother with this, that kills whatever suspense that would be there whenever he's supposed to reappear in canon. D:

I thought nothing "important" was going to happen till the Tokyo arc, or is this a filler too?

Edit: Oh, i get it, i thought you were talking about Clone Syaoran when you said "Syaoran copy" :P

Ew. This was all so wrong and OOC and ugh.
Fai was all.. wrong. And too weak. Same with Kuro. LEAVE THEM ALONE BEETRAIN ;^^;
And that Syaoran!lookalike was some sort of ..evil mary-stu and the whole story was dumb and wrong.
And Fai's reaction to Ashura-ou was wrong.
Agh. It was just all wrong.

I weep more so that they brought him back at all (even if it is fake).  He shouldn't show his face until after we see Subaru, it kills any suspense of seeing him after such a long time (seeing as he hasn't appeared once since he left Outo in the manga besides a spash page...).

Those scenes are perfect for LTC though. :keke:

Arg.  It seemed like they were too tired to finish the episode off with that ten minutes worth of the same shot of Chaos and the same, poorly animated, shot of Syaoran.  It was embarassing to watch ><

I'm not even going to go into Fay and Kurogane being taken out like that.....At least they got to escape those last few minutes....

Poor Yuuko.  She doesn't deserve to be so badly animated :(

Ditto, I just had to see the horribleness for myself.

Me, I don't think the concept in itself was the worst Beetrain has come up with - I actually find it pretty decent - it's how they pull it off that makes it suck.

Show content
By that I mean, the animation. Seishirou. Mage and ninja being so easily defeated. Ugh!

By the way, what is it that Chaos keeps calling Sakura? Hime-jimi? What does that mean?

*groan* What in the world is BeeTrain doing!? I haven't even wanted to watch this episode, it sees lame! I watched it, seems interesting, the music was great as always! But Yuuko! What did they do to you!? http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Tsubasa%20Chronicle/Tsubasa%20Chronicle%20-%2048%20-%20Large%2017.jpg

Plus, why did they destroyed Hien? Doesn't that changes the storyline? http://randomc.animeblogger.net/image/Tsubasa%20Chronicle/Tsubasa%20Chronicle%20-%2049%20-%20Large%20Preview%2002.jpg Why hasn't Clamp said anything?! CCS wasn't so horrible!  :cry:

Edit:
When Ashura transformed into Fai, I began thinking; "What if Fai sealed Ashura because he (Ashura) was going to frame Fai of doing something he didn't do, by transforming into Fai?"

You know that's just some random person cosplaying Yuuko that Beetrain hired, right?  The real Yuuko can't exist in the Tsubasa anime, she'd die without her liquor! XD

...seriously, Production I.G. did her and Mokona right (look at the correct proportions!):

What the...wow, just when you think it can't get any crazier. The only thing I can say for this episode is the animation wasn't quite as bad as last time, because last episode's animation was just exceptionally awful.

Show content
Okay, first of all, Kaos is such a Gary-Stu, or whatever you call male Mary-Sues. I don't like to throw that label around but seriously. It was settled when he totally pwned Fai and Kurogane. That just shouldn't happened. At all. And when Syaoran defeats him it will be even lamer because even if Syaoran has determination to save Sakura and everything, he's still a student at sword fighting and can't use magic.

I have no idea what was going on with Fei-Wang Reed, but Xing-Huo standing around in Tao? With a monocle? W.T.F.

And...the old "let's make an illusion of some one from your past which you must fight" trick. Kuro-papa, Seishirou, and Ashura-ou - is their supposed to be a common theme here? Because I'm not seeing it. Are they going for "mentor/teacher"? Somehow I doubt that Ashura-ou fits that description. Fai's reaction was so...*facepalm* Ashura-ou looked weird, and I love how inexplicably mute he is.

LTC really should do this episode. Really really.

Title: Re: [TRC Arc 2] Episode 23: The Distorted Wish
Post by: kester on October 17 2006, 07:32 pm
First off, ever since Lecourt Arc where we saw Tomo, the graphics have been...2-D .Especially the clothes, did they get a new artist or something?

o.o Its like the characters are flat or something. Especially Yuuko.

Hmm...that bird which holds all those feathers and possess the power to cross dimensions. I guess a feather per episode is kinda slow, considering there were hundreds,if not more, feathers.Getting back that many feathers in one shot is going to put Sakura into a coma o.o

Eh? Whats Xing Huo doing there? And with those glasses? FWR can spy on the group at his lair, he doesnt need Xing Huo to be his "eyes". Unless Xing Huo is planning on doing something there...

Chaos made a good point . Having storng magic but not using it is as good as not having it. Shouldnt Fye use magic in desparate situations? He did once in Lecourt afterall.

Saving themselves from falling to death and saving the princess from a green-haired wannabe seems to fall into that category.

Kuro's special attack appeared to have made a direct hit but Chaos took no dmg at all ? Thats so wrong on so many levels. Is Syao gonna pull off what his teacher couldnt ?

And NOOOOOO! How can they break Hien? I'm starting to dislike BT...

 next episode -- The Group's Determination (決意のナカマ)
25.  Freezing Mitama (凍てつくミタマ)
26. The Wings Of Tomorrow (明日へのツバサ)

Just watched 24. Sigh, it was just as bad as we all expected.

Chaos takes Sakura away. After saying he loves Sakura. The entire rest of the episode I was thinking, 'Sakura, this guy just beat up your boytoy and your two gay daddies. And you're going to go with him? -Now- would be a good time to fight, you know.' I guess it's possible that Sakura had her memory wiped or something. O_o And I can't tell you how dumb Xing Huo looks wearing that monacle. And then Kurogane... tries to make a deal with Yuuko to get back Ginryuu? O_o Well, at least  Kurogane didn't actually make the deal; instead he gives SOUHI to Syaoran.  Pft, so dumb. Kurogane is by FAR the better swordsman, why would he give his sword to Syaoran?

Worst of all,

O_o And I can't tell you how dumb Xing Huo looks wearing that monacle. And then Kurogane... tries to make a deal with Yuuko to get back Ginryuu? O_o Well, at least Kurogane didn't actually make the deal; instead he gives SOUHI to Syaoran. Pft, so dumb. Kurogane is by FAR the better swordsman, why would he give his sword to Syaoran?

Worst of all,

...

...

FAI USED MAGIC. TO COOK.

The ONLY time FAI HAS EVER USED MAGIC WAS TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. WTF.

Ouch.  Literally, ouch.  Extreme levels of OOC and canon rape. >_< I really hope they don't do the Tokyo arc, or at least get better writers if they do.  I think the Sakura in the anime needs to be beat up by her manga counterpart, she's completely useless.

Sorry, What? Fai uses magic... to cook?! This is... This is unforgivable. Seriously, they've done a lot of bad things in the anime, but this just goes too far.
Breaking Hien and Kurogane giving away Souhi... That's bad. That's really bad. Fai using magic to cook? WORSE! (in my opinion, anyway.)

I've seen it too... Fai using magic too cook! (Whats up with that) and that Syaorans sword broke, Kurogane gave him his sword instead  :angry:  and I got angry with Sakura  because she didn't even try to escape from Chaos, he even left her alone in "her" room and she did nothing....  -_-

I would like to once again state my horror at how UGLY the characters looked in some scenes. This episode is by far the worst I've seen this season (and I only watch it when a big enough fuss is made about it.)

Show content
But yeah, the canon rape. Why would Fay need to use active magic to make potion or stew or whatever? Just because he used it once out of desperation to save everyone's lives doesn't mean he'll start using it for cooking. He's a competent enough chef without magic, thankyouverymuch.

Also, (ugly, ugly, WHY is he so UGLY)Kurogane trying to bargain with Yuuko? Over a SWORD? Yuuko is like, his least favourite person in all the dimensions (besides his mother's killer.) It sort of takes away from the desperation of when he REALLY tries to bargain with Yuuko. In my opinion, anyway.

And giving Souhi to Syaoran is very OOC. Of course they'll pull a way to fix Hien out of their ***, because that sword can't possibly stay broken. Possibly Sakura will re-forge it with the power of her love. But only possibly, since she seems to have regressed back to season-one-episode-2-Sakura, staring vacantly into space.

I can't even feel sorry for the losers who only watch the anime. If you watch the anime, actually think it's GOOD, and see no reason to seek out the manga, (which isn't hard, I can think of at least four places to find it) then you deserve the crap this series has been shovelling.

This episode was really awful, I mean, Sakura isn't that helpless, she should be able to move her legs and run out of there.
Show content
And what's up with Fai using magic? It destroys his "must not use magic" promise (the time in Lecourt was to save their lives, not to boil some strange looking stew). And that's pretty important in the manga.
  I don't know if I'll be able to watch the anime when they arrive in the "X world". I know its not going to be the same thing as the manga, if even similar to it.

I was having a conversation with a friend on MSN last night and she told me something that kinda bugged me...
She said that the authors always see the episode first and then they say if it's ok or not to show it... So, do you think that Clamp actually accepted THAT?? Cuz I can't see this happening!! >_<

Okay that's not true. I take you back to when Hellsing the anime series was on, that went completely away from the manga and the author publically said that they were not happy with the anime at all. If they had their way it wouldn't have been shown.

There is no way Clamp would allow this, but I also doubt they have much say in this series which is why I believe they purposely got more involved with XxxHolic's series

what a shame,Fai using magic to cook, like if it was something more important that his engagement!
at this rate Fai is going to use magic to dress up,to clean the laundry,to do dishes,to pass the hoover,and even to comb his hair  :dodge:...

the most irritating is that it is not a matter of time if Beetrain is devastated the anime,because they are going more faster than the manga,so they have plenty time to polish the animation and to round off the scenario,their work is like giving mud to pigs  :angry:

Whether or not CLAMP is happy with the Tsubasa anime, I doubt they'd do anything about it.

Show content
Oh god, what is with Sakura? She was more competent than this back in Jade, for crying out loud! And Fai using his magic for a little thing like cooking is just silly. He's good enough, even if it's a potion - that's why he's so good at cooking, isn't it? Because it's like mixing potions. Why doesn't Chaos just pwn Syaoran like his did Fai and Kurogane? HOW CAN CHAOS POSSIBLY HAVE THAT MANY FEATHERS? It just doesn't make sense. Should that many feathers even exist in the first place. And the drawings are so, so ugly at some points.

Just Watched Part 1 off Youtube..not sure I wanna watch the rest of the episode.

Lets see...Syaoran was defeated as well, but at least not easily as Fay and Kuro.

Mokona went crazy when Chao spread his wings...just how many feathers does he has? O_O

Enough to grant him the power to cross dimensions apparently.

Throughout this whole episode, Fai had one eye bigger than the other. W.T.F.

I don't think I need to mention the hideous character rape. Also, Sakura doing squat to help anyone, not even realling banging her hands against that spell green-Syaoran put her in? Come on. Sakura's proven she can kick ***, so why doesn't BeeTrain let her instead of making her into some lame damsel in distress?

Actually, the only reason why I even tried watching the anime was to see Yuuko in motion (before the xxxHolic anime aired), she's my favorite female character afterall.  After episode 2 I couldn't stand anymore and gave up, minus watching a few episodes here and there.  If she had been done justice, I may have given the anime a real chance.
