*points* yep. I hope everyone can read and re-read that sentence so that they have it in their minds. Since LW made his point, I suppose all will follow :wink:

Oh btw, this is just a side note for the past popularity of TRC. From the no. of dls at Saiyaman, BEE TRAIN needs to put more effort in their work :P or else less and less will watch it :)

did you see? Miyuki-chan was in the episode!  :greengrin:
I was a bit disappointed with this episode, I was expecting it to have more action. aw..They didn't put all primera's fans in the episode! The beginning was really nice though. Hopefully they'll end the second volume at last in the next episode, and go on to Koriyo

The battle was okay ^^ But if there're more action, it'd be cool , Primera and Mokona are so cute :D But I don't like Primera's voice a bit, it's uhm, didn't suit my ears >.>

The flashback when Sakura has a fever and Syaoran holding her hand is so cute ^^ But I remember that they were a little child in manga, weren't they? In anime, they all grow up ^^

I'm really want to see ep 6 : Uncry tears, look like Syaoran's gonna has a shock >.<

Episode 5

Kay, here's what I liked.

Flashback of Syaoran's catch: Yipee! we get to see Syaoran's save again!  :hello2:

Flashback of sick Sakura and Syaoran holding her hand: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! KAWAII!  :love4:

Sorata and his "Honey" : Hilarious! :hehe: (The giant lump)

Miyuki-chan: WHOA? Was that who i think it is?  :happy3:

Language mix up: First I thought the subbing group made a mistake......it sounded like Japanese still.......but pretty funny!  :hehe:

Primera-chan: Cute but annoying.  :heh:

Mokona singing while swinging: Aya! Kawaii but funny! :happy6:

Kurogane's attack: WOOT! Go!  :hello2:

Fai's kudan: Cool!  :hello2:

Primera and Shougo's relationship: Cute. It's misunderstood love!  :tongue3:

Syaoran's kudan: Go! Go! GO!  :hello2: :hello2:

Things I found weird:

Some parts of this episode, the drawing seems weird.  -_-

Um, why do they cut Fai's theme BGM after an action then start it all over again? Can't they just play it continuously? -_-

Overall: 3rd best Episode for me! Bee Train made this a very humorous one! So far here's my ranking:

1st: Episode 1
2nd: Episode 3
3rd: Episode 5
4th: Episode 4
5th: Episode 2

Can't wait for episode 6, Uncried tears. where Sakura finally meets Syaoran with a-- wah! *starts bawling at the memory of what happened in Manga* :cry:

Post by: .::ka::. on May 08 2005, 07:29 pm
Yeah ^^ I wonder what bgm will be played in that moments ^^
But I really hope that Hanshin will be ending soon >.> Now we have 4 epi for Hanshin ....
Title: Re: [TRC] Episode 5 Discussions Thread
Post by: Ruby Chan on May 08 2005, 07:33 pm
I think that Hanshin will end next episode, in number 6...

I loved this one! Pity they weren't little in the holding hands scene, though. But my favourite bit was when Syaoran accepted Shogo's challenge, and glowed red like his kudan! He looked so tough and strong!

And he's so earnest...he's never going to give up on Sakura.  But Fai was prob the main character in this ep...and I lvoe that! His kudan is awesome, and he's so acrobatic!

The S+S flashback moment there was kawaii :love5: The Sorata and Arashi part was so funny~ :lol: I feel like hitting someone now... :hehe: the language mix up was cool~ it sounded a little chinese that's jap (did that make sense at all? :heh:) Mokona's kawaii~ I wish i could swing like that too~  :rotfl: Can't wait for eppie 6~ this is gonna be a shocker for Syaoran...  :(

i haven't seen the subbed yet so i'm not really sure what exactly happened in this episode.but i would like to say this was an awesome episode and that TRC is starting to get better and better.. XD

this episode was by far awesome.. mokona's singing was the best!! haha.. so cute.. XD

fay (if you guys see the commercial thingy that how his name is spelt) which also surprised me in the spelling, his kudan was really nice and how he dodged all the music notes was really cool. go fay!

that girl.. i don't know her name.. her voice wasn't good.. i thought her voice wouldn't be so umm high i guess.

the syaoran and sakura parts were really nice XD

music was awesome

I LOVED this episode!
Fai fighting with his Kudan was awesome.
I love Fai's music. I wish we could hear the whole thing.
Guess we will when the soundtrack comes out.

Loved how Fai ran up to Primera just like in the manga!
The comedy between Mokona and Kurogane was great, and the flashback scene with Syaoran and Sakura was so sweet.

I think this episode stayed very close to the manga.

Miyuki-chan!!? I can't believe I missed her.
I'm going to have to watch again. What scene is she in?
Title: Re: [TRC] Episode 5 Discussions Thread
Post by: Okamirei on May 09 2005, 07:22 am
she's in the very beginning, you'll see a girl run by^^
Title: Re: [TRC] Episode 5 Discussions Thread
Post by: Sakaki on May 09 2005, 10:32 am
I found her. At about 7 minutes and 41 seconds into the show.
I wonder if she'll be in all the other worlds, just like in the manga?
Cool!

YAY! Miyuki!!! They did make here pretty hard to catch. I blinked and almost missed her!  :laughing4:

I took a screen cap and posted it on my site if anyone needs visual confirmation. She looks.... skinnier than I expected?
Title: Re: [TRC] Episode 5 Discussions Thread
Post by: lika-chi on May 09 2005, 12:12 pm
Miyuki.. who's that.. haha i think i'm stupid right now.. ok nevermind.. just went to Brad's website.. i see it now.. haha

anyways.. i saw the subbed.. haha it was funny when fai and kurogane were speaking gibberish.. haha.. i was like what is happening..

oh oh oh.. does anyone know mokona's little chant thingy that he sings.. hehe i want to learn it for something.. XD so if anyone knows it and can tell me i will love you to death.. XD but if you don't i'll just watch the episode over and over again..

mokona was so cute in this episode.. and fai with his kudan was so cool. his kudan looks really nice too

OK, I have to say I completely loved this episode!  It included a lot of that funny back-stage situations we see in  the manga, and that I said before was missing from the other chapters, but now I understand that it was necessary to set a mood on the anime.  This was definitely a Fay chapter, and it had to be.  Very smart he is, fighting Primera to see if Mokona reacted to her Kudan, and also to his very own Kudan as well.  I think the anime now had taken a rhythm very much like the manga (the beginning was more fast-paced IMO), so I think know each chapter has taken more of those details on the manga, rather than to rush things.  It was a good call for the two chapters, to get the main characters going.  Needless to say that next chapter is going to be very fluffy, when Syaoran and Sakura see each other for the first time since she lost her memories, so I think it's going to be a "Kleenex Moment".

it was good.. as usual.. :P i saw miyuki-chan too! hehe.. it was really brief though.. and i only saw a blur or her hair.. i think..

i don't know but does it seem a little slow? there are like pauses on a particular character or so..

hehe.. i liked mokona.. really funny.. :P

i didn't see all of Primera's fans though.. :S

Post by: bLuetopaz on May 10 2005, 11:44 pm
hehe.. got to say tht Fye was such a gentleman! *blush* he rather dodge Primera's attack rather than attacking her.. *thumbs up*

Mokona was really funny and cute.. instead of being panicky.. it was singing and swinging...  :noteworthy:

cant help but to notice.. Fye's kudan is a giant bird? looks like his tattoo (bird-like pattern)...

Post by: Sakaki on May 11 2005, 04:58 pm
I am wondering if anyone could PLEASE tell me who the seiyuu is for Primera?
I've been looking all over for who it is, but can't find any info.
Title: Re: [TRC] Episode 5 Discussions Thread
Post by: AiKo on May 11 2005, 05:03 pm
Hisayo Mochizuki is the seiyuu of Primera :D

Awesome!!! Thank you so much!
That's who does Pudding in Tokyo Mew Mew!
Her voice sounded familiar to me. I've only seen one episode of Tokyo Mew Mew though, but it was one with Pudding.

Actually Saoran, Kurogane and Fay's kudans are the 3 gods from Magic Knight Rayearth. ;)

well...I think this episode was good,not only BGM...(IT'S always wonderful...)..but also it's really a lovely episode..
First, Syaoran's expression is really lovely..^_^..Mokona is always lovely and it's song is funny..Primera is also wonderful..but her kudan is music note..not word ...just a little rough...Fai is cool...haha...but I really like Kurogane...he's a funny man!!!(It seems like that Sakura will come to next episode,and perhaps she will say  " who are you " to  Syaoran...I hope it will be a moving episode..I look forward for the next episode!!!
(I'm sorry my English isn't very good..because I come form foreign country..so I can't express my opinion properly..but I will love CLAMP and TSUBASA forever...that's all)

my review's too long to post here, as usual so here's the summary... :greengrin:

I would have loved to see Primera’s fans in this episode. I have not seen many animes that show guys screaming over a girl so that would have made a lot more difference if they had shown it. Probably would have made this episode even more funnier and entertaining to watch.
Overall, this is my third fave Tsubasa episode. Ep. 3 is still in first place and the first episode on 2nd place. I’m ranking the fourth episode in the 4th place now because well, this episode is really just better than that last one. The anime is getting better and better with each episode and I really hope that would continue until the last episode.

and here's the link to my full review of the episode:

Yeah, she reminds me of Meiling too.
I thought Primera was really cute.
I'm curious how she sounds in Magic Knight, I may have to get a dvd to see.

Primera was so awesome in this episode! Annoyingly cute ^__^

Shougo is hot, nuff said!

The BGM rocks my socks!

Kurogane and Fai are so damn awesome! Fai you are so cool fighting Primera!

The 3D notes made me laugh ^___^

All in all, a enjoyable episode ^^

Miyuki-chan is a character in the manga: Miyuki-chan in Wonderland. I havn't read it, but you see her running by or something in the manga of TRC at times. Maybe even in the manga, I forget though >_>

It seemed kind of lazily done and rushed. I was looking forward to Fai's flying scene and it was slow and boring to me. And they didn't make it as intense because they didn't have the huge crowd of people. I did like Primera though. And Mokona. ^^

Nothing is better than nice long scenes with Fai in them.   :XD: Here we get to see Fai fighting with his Kudan.   :keke: I would have found the whole episode silly, if it were anything other than TRC.   :tongue3:

I completely agree. Mokona is awsome, I really loved this episode, another favorite!!  :okay:
