Great idea!! Well I can't wait to see it :)
Will you upload the subbed episode just like the promotion?
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: Little Wolf on April 09 2005, 05:16 am
I'll upload the subbed episode's torrent files so that it will be distributed to more fans. The episode is too big to host here so I'm not making a direct download link for it. :)

Episode one was already aired in Japan.. right now, I'm waiting for the raws to come out. I also use Azureus as my BT client.

About the direct download links, it would really take a lot of bandwidth but I can make lower quality versions which will be dial-up user friendly. :)

You should simply link to our tracker at scarywater instead.. well that's my opinion.

oops! sorry... I'll just link to your tracker then but can we also just link directly to the torrent file of each episode?

Yeps. I think we should put a direct link there. ^^ And since we have set up the links page here, links to the raws AND subs will be posted.
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: Ecchigo on April 09 2005, 10:15 pm
Well this way, people will have quick access to all the episodes.

Well episode 1 has aired.  Once it's available to get raw, our translator will translate it.  Then we'll have the rest done mostly over the weekend.  I hope we can put it up on the tracker by sunday evening EST.  For those hurried to see it, I'm sorry but seeing has this is episode 1, more stuff has to be done, like Little Wolf's part is an extra that doesn't need much more done after the few other episodes.  And by the time our translation is complete, we'll have to wait on our timer to get up to continue that part.  Anyway, it should be out soon enough don't worry!

For bittorrent I personnally suggest getting Azureus, it has a nice Java User interface with lot's of options.

Thanks a lot ^^ If you don't mind, since you'll be the first one to see when its up, maybe you won't mind posting the link in the official links page??? Thanks a lot ^^

i have neither bittornado nor azureus
 :cry: how i'm gonna watch trc?

Well, maybe you can post this in the link help page ^^ And also, some people volunteered post direct links, but needs hosting. As for Tune's sugestion, I think it really depends on the speed of download, or else it'll be so slow that connections time out.
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: lumizstar on April 10 2005, 12:11 am
Ok back to topic. I'm still dling the TRC Episode 1. The download speed for this one is especially slow =/
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here

Post by: lumizstar on April 10 2005, 12:46 am
Ok. I've finished downloading it ^^ I'll make comments in a minute. Overall, it was....hmm....compared to the comic.....i think the comic is better atm^^

P.S: Anyone can tell me how to make SS using REalOne player?
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: Ecchigo on April 10 2005, 12:49 am
use BSplayer if you want to take SS.

Well overall the episode was ok, the music is awesome, I don't have any problems with the seiyuu, but the quality of the raw was awful!  Anyway I'm waiting for my translator to wake up so he can translate it!
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: lumizstar on April 10 2005, 01:07 am
SS means screenshot.

As for the episode, here is my comments:

Opening: Well, the first thing it reminded me of was X 1999. I dunno why, but it gave me the impression of the opening of X :P. The song was awesome, and was really cool. The opening was....well...ok, and sometimes I find stuff a bit messed up. Hm...nothing special about the plot revealed in the opening. This time they tried to mix some still screens with motion, and that was a nice try ( except the face of Sakura was a bit twisted). With the exception of a few twisted screens, is was ok =)

Episode: Well, the first thing I noticed was the animation of Syaoran was done exeptionally well, and he looked cool almost in every screen >.< Thats maybe he is the main char >.< =) Anywayz, Sakura was....well...avreage...but the other two guys were col >.< Esp. Fye. ^^ Chii was drawn a bit too fat, and Tomoyo is beautiful ^^. Anywayz, the episode itself was cut down a bit, and its like....for us who have seen the comic, its..kinda recapping. ^^ Anywayz, nice episode on the whole. The BGM was also very special, Indian like for many, and the other half was a strings instrumental ^^

Endng:  Song is great^^ But the part of little Saku and big Syaoran, and vice-versa was a bit..funny. lol :P

I thik overall its avearge to good, but not really exceptionally good and shocking. But Syaoran's performance was GREAT >.< And also Fye looked cool ^^ I'm still not catching up with the seiyruu :P But I think the concept of moving it to animation was too similar to the concept of X. Episode is up to Syaoran asking for help bit. This also cut down details, which was inevitable.

End of Rant.  No offence :P

Post by: ashleygurl on April 10 2005, 01:13 am
wow...its a good rant post...i enjoyed it...but i'm still in the process of downloading it ><
And I have to watch it before i agreed with ur points, but as u commented it for being above average...wow...i totally wanna see it so bad now....and i'm going to post comments for it too. :)
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: ashleygurl on April 10 2005, 01:21 am
wow u finished downloading it too, Tune? So you think its not good? Oh god..i'm starting to worry...i really look forward on the opening...and ending and Syaoran....*prays* I hope I won't be TOOO upset. :(
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: lumizstar on April 10 2005, 01:25 am
maybe saiyaman will release a version2?? hopefully...i dont quite like the raw either~~ :P

Saiyaman is known for the speed, and if you want quality raws, maybe you can try l33t. :P So its a choice between speed n quality =)
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: Tune on April 10 2005, 01:34 am
o...thks for the suggestion, but i'll be seeing the raws only coz i cant wait~~:P i'm juz worrying how the sub versions will turn out thats y~~ :)

welcome and please introduce urself in the forum 'intro' section instead of here XDDD and thx for joining...ohh and feel free to comment on epsiode 1 in here...i think its only lumizstar who start off with a first actual preview...maybe everyone should make one too. Precise ones are highly appreciated. XD
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: fisah on April 10 2005, 02:04 am
I can't wait till it comes on subbed. Maybe I should download the raw too *clicks to download* Anyway, I liked your rant lumizstar, and usually when a new anime begins, the expectations go down, but you end up getting use to it. I hope TRC isn't that bad,  I wanna see it ><

and download the one of the bittorrent linkes.
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: sainfate on April 10 2005, 02:34 am
Is it just me that does thing that Kurogane looks way to skinny... I know that the design in the manga is very thin frame but they might have done it too much in the anime....  :D
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: Zeldi on April 10 2005, 02:35 am
i´ve done that and now?
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: lumizstar on April 10 2005, 02:36 am
yea i do agree that he looks way too skinny..some other characters too..but i guess its a style of TRC.
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: lumizstar on April 10 2005, 02:36 am
i扉e done that and now?

have you download the programme yet? the ABC bittorent?

after finish downloading, go to the links page, click on the link, right click TRC file, click save target as and then, after finishing downloading it, u open the torrent file and then when you open the torrent file, the abc file will automatically start itself and u can view it.

Well, I don't know when we'll be able to release right now, we can't seem to contact our translator and he said he was going to be there today. Something probably happened >_<...  Anyway we'll get the sub out whenever we can.. Just be patient everyone.

The HDTV one.. I bet I scared some for a sec.  It's probably the best quality we could work with.  Still no news of our translator sadly.  If someone speaks japanese and can get us a line by line translation.  We could use the backup help!

*bangs computer*

My computer barely downloaded anything, it's going so slow, GRRRR, I guess I just have to wait for an encoded version of it, *le sigh* Anyway, those screenshots look awesome, a little iffy at the ending sequence though, why does it have a big sakura and a little syaoran, or reveresed. I think it would look cuter if they made them the same age. I still think it looks good. ^^

[color=Purple]Hi everyone, I'm new here and really really looking forward to watching the first episode!
Is there anyone that would be able to convert this into an .wmv for me?
I'm on dialup, and would probably have to download a torrent file for over 24 hours!
If I could get something at least under 100 mb that would be terrific!
Thanks!

Post by: fisah on April 10 2005, 10:28 am
Okay, I can finally give my feedback, for those who didn't watch it, there maybe a little spoiler or two...okay maybe more XD:

Pros:
1. Awesome opening, it's really good, I like the pics and everything, a little iffy about the stills in there, but no worries, I'll just have to get use to it XD
2. I loved that scene with Sakura and Syaoran, it was teh cutest thing, the best extra scene ever!!! Wai, so cute
3. Ending song (we all know this one ^_-) I liked the song, it's lovely, and the atmosphere fits perfect with the song.
4. BGM is good too, reminded me a little of hack.//sign, but I liked Hack.//sign's so another pro, LOL.

Cons:

1.Yuuko's eyes were a little...weird, I don't know, I thought they looked odd compared to everyone else's, me and my picky personality ^^
2. They cut out scenes like when Kurogane was arguing with Tomoyo, I really wanted to see that one >.<
3. The ending squence was a little weird, why is there a little syaoran with a big sakura, it seemed so weird. I'd probably like it more if it was little sakura with little syaoran or big sakura with big syaoran. I guess they're trying to show how important the memories are.

I guess that's it, In overall, I thought it was good, and all the exctiement didnt go to waste, I even tortured my computer, lol (lika-chi knows what I'm talking about ^_^) Feel free to comment or disagree with my pros and cons, I bet we all don't feel the same about the ep *sad attempt to get people to discuss*
3.

Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: ashleygurl on April 10 2005, 11:57 am
First of all, I want to make my preview too...watch it last night... :)

Opening scene- Well basically i think its the best part out of the whole epsiode. I think it is basically trying to show that Syaoran went through numerous obstacles to fight for Sakura's memories...and well except when you notice that kurogane's legs are ULTRA skinny...and Fye's waist is very narrow too...anywayz, I notice that SYaoran was drawn well more precisely than the rest of the characters, so it was pretty true that the TRC anime crew focus more into Syaoran. But the song was great, it suited the opening greatly. (8.5/10)

Story- Okay loads of things were cut and added. (7/10)

Cutted stuff: Sakura was suddenly appearing in the historical site and rite inside the basement, first of all, it doesn't make sense. Unless the unknown powers suddenly sent her into the site, I don't know how she got in there. I was puzzled. Her did she get there????? And some certain little parts were cut too...well it forgot the part when Syaoran was travelling through the dimensions to Yuuko's place and I think there's one diaoglue forgotten, it was ' SAkura'...but then *sigh*, I guess they skipped it.

Added Stuff: And dun even understand why they're adding stuff, and i dun mind them adding stuff, but they're adding a strange way. Okay, so Sakura is as light as a feather?????? And Syaoran used only ONE HAND to grab her and she is flying all away. and they got this pointless scene focusing on her legs...okay ON HER LEGS!? And the two of them walking down the market...well, it was okay, but it was a bit tad' boring...there was alot of conversation. But both of them were kind of expressionless. And I dun even NOTICE a BLUSH out of them. WHERE IS THE SAKURA AND SYAORAN THAT I KNOW!?

Good Stuff: Well, we have to admit that overall it was not really exciting, but it did try its best to follow the manga. Example: the first few scenes, when they were trapped in a box thingy. So I guess they're giving an effort and well, i do appreciate it. And Syaoran looked pretty good in most of the scenes...as i've mentioned the anime crew emphasized a lot in Syaoran's face....it was better than the rest of the ppl, and well its good enough. And you get to see the crossovers and they were good! Especially Tomoyo(she look elegant enough for me), I was squealing all the way in the scene, and Chii came along, Yukito, Touya was the second best i think. It was kewl watching them on TV again.

(Bad Stuff)-Yuuko's eyes looks rabbit-ish. And well the ending.

Ending- ARRRGGGHHH...i was tooo angry at the ending part!!! Well, the song is good, normal. But was does it have to do with all the LITTLE and BIG syaoran/ sakura flying/floating around...okay i dun mind them floating, but the pairings were weird, like a Big Syaoran with a SMALL sakura, okay what are they doing? Floating. To me, it looks like some GSD ending, but i would rather a BIG sakura and syaoran floating....*sigh* I thought of Terenda and Rika-san immediately when I saw that scene..and then here comes the scene that TOTALLY bummed me out. Sakura's wings brought her and Syaoran in the AIR!? And i dun mind that, if they have drawn the wings precisely, it looked like pieces of paper seriously and Sakura looks weird. Yea she does. And suddenly all the Little Syaoran/Sakura were all GONE!? And then the BIg ones hug each other. Weird....(5.5/10)

Okay so what do you guys think? Feel free to comment on my long post.

*sigh ASHLEY!! calm urself first of all.. haha ur post was a bit TOO long.. so i read up to the added parts only.. hehe.. i'll read the rest later.. i'm a bit lazy rite now..ok..

the cutted parts.. sakura was sent there by that power.. u no wen she started floating in her room.. she got transported.. i guess u can say.. yup yup and i dunno the other part

the lite as a feather thing was weird.. i mean like sakura is basically flying.. LMAO!! haha.. and the screen focuses on her feet because u see she crosses her toes.. as in crosses ur fingers to bring luck.. u get it now.. haha..

ur other things i will read later.. contacts are getting blurry.. @_@..
Title: Re: Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: fisah on April 10 2005, 01:53 pm
Ashley, LMAO, I wrote the exact same thing in like the post before you LMAO, we must both be picky little anime watchers ne? I totally get what you mean about the little syaoran/big sakura, I was like "WTF?!?!!" when I saw it, if they showed little sakura and little syaoran, okay that makes sense, but it was just plain weird. HAHAHA, Terada Sensei and Rika, at least you actually get that XD

OMG, you also mentioned the eyes about Yuuko, hah, I mentioned that too, and I totally get it aswell, I was like 'okaaay, something is wrong here' I think they focused on Syaoran a bit too much and totally forgot about the other characters ^^ Hopefully it'll get better, I thought the ending was really disturbing, but I LOVED the opening, it was actually good, except the stills, I'm a little iffy about that...

wowz....so many comments already~~ :D

i guess i've got not much to complain~i like the music very much (hope OSTS come out soon~~), graphics are not quite to my liking coz of lack of details, seeing the manga too much does things really, and the resolution is the last, but thats not much to be bothered about~~ :P, come to think...if tsubasa chronicles is 26 episodes long, it wont cover till the finale my guess...~~ :P

i forgot to add: in the manga, i thought that the scenes are during daylight, so when i saw the anime and almost all of the scenes are  shown in the evening/nite, i was a li' surprised, seeing the the anime yesterday nite at 11pm dint help either~~ i was too tired~~ :P

AHH!!! imma scream to myself! that was SOOO cool!! ^-^ i like the BGM.. it just gets you going!  i dl-ed it and i couldn't watch it!! *weeps* cause i had to go to work! :-( *crys a river* i was sooo anxious to get home! when i got home.. many other peoples seen it already..

i have to agree... that ending... was odd... :-S.. :? the pairings don't match! and it doesn't seem right with an older girl with a younger guy... also... that part when syaoran dragged sakura.. i thought they would at least made sakura run along with syaoran... but she was in the air! i guess cause of all the feathers she has! :D  and... everything else! i agree with what you all have to say!

I loved this episode even though downloading took a long time. But I guess it was worth the wait, I loved the music and I can't wait till I get the chance to download them too. I tried on the 3rd time that I watched it to follow it along with the manga. The episode was amazing!!!!! I wanted to watch it a million more times, I have to agree that yuko's eyes do look weird. My favourite bit in the episode was when Sakura was about to reveal her feelings to Syaoran and then the bells go off, that was funny. I now so badly want those songs especially the opening theme song "Blaze." lumizstar was right the opening did remind me of X\1999, I think it was when you see Fai, Kurogane and Syaoran was wearing those suit/ tuxedos, I can't remember.

coz i din hear fye's seiyuu before, when he talked, i kinda skipped quite a lot coz he sounded very sleepy and dreamy and i'm sleepy myself when i saw the anime last nite~~ :P

but i'd like to see kurogane looking more annoyed really, coz i imagined a more dramatic pissed off kurogane when he was sent away~~ :D

Post by: Little Wolf on April 11 2005, 10:36 pm
My review is a bit late cos I had to start making the OP and ED karaokes right away...

Anyway, the first episode...to sum it all up, is awesome! I was smiling the whole time I was watching it for the first time. :D Maybe I'm just so happy to see S+S back on screen...

I'll comment on some of the points raised here...

About Sakura being light as a feather.. :lol: when I saw it, the first thing that came into my mind is that the animators wanted some humor in that scene so they did that. I don't think it has to be taken seriously, really... or maybe, they just want to let the viewers know how strong Syaoran is. :)

On the character design... there were some scenes where I didn't like how Sakura and Syaoran were drawn. come to think of it... all I ever cared for is them! The other characters were drawn just fine, except maybe for Yuuko.. >.<

The animation... really, really awesome! The effects were all cool and I'll enjoy watching this episode again and again just because of the cool animation special effects and of course.. for the cute S+S scenes. :hehe:

The music as I've mentioned in the TRC music thread is all good! Very, very good.

The opening video is really cool too although the song didn't really catch me at first listen. Now I like it..I've heard it for a hundred times already while making the karaoke video of it. I'm glad they put a lot of action in the opening video.

The ending video, contrary to what others have previously said here, I think is really good and very meaningful. At first, it was really weird but because of this, the video is good for it's uniqueness and it's something you wouldn't expect. Quite extraordinary for me. And I loved the last scene where they hug...finally, something we didn't get to see in CCS movie 2. :inlove:

Comparing it to the manga, I think the animators did a good job not to disappoint us. It was neither too fast nor too slow. They all included the important scenes, as far as I'm concerned.

Now, I can't wait for the subbed version Kancho Fansubs will be releasing and of course episode 2!

phew! long post... I think I'll just copy/paste this on my blog and yahoo 360 page... :D

WOWEEE!!! * runs around in circles * thanks to Little Wolf again ^^

It was just totally amazing.. i was like.. i don't care i don't understand a word they say, apart from random words, but who cares! ^^ It's S+S! Ha ha. I look forward to ep2! He he. The music was very good, I don't normally like japanese songs by men [no offense.. but i only heard angelic layer ones and they sounded bizzare...] but I loved it! And the animation for it was wonderful. Woo. And the characters all looked like they were supposed to, except Yuuko-san... grra..... she looked wierd.. ha ha. But anyways, it was very enjoyable!

i still have a question... are those guards looking for sakura? and then syaoran took her away... right?  :S...

yea i see in this anime that they don't blush...  probably not like the ones from the ccs that we know...   compared to the manga..   they blush in the manga.. but not in the anime..

Post by: Hikaru on April 12 2005, 10:02 am
Well, after watching the low quiality video (easy for m to download, again a BIG THANK YOU!!!!), here's my view:

I loved the opening, very good animation, it really captured my attention, and the song was great.

The drawings were very good, loved the line, a little skinny, but actually it is very close to the art in TRC.  It was an overall OK chapter, although I felt it a little bit rushed to get the trio+ sleeping!Sakura to the Time Witch.  I wished we could have seen a bit more of the other characters.  Now OTOH, I loved the way they did transitions from scenes, different from the manga, but not bad.  Actually this is typical from CLAMP, to do changes from manga to anime (same thing in MKR).  Now since I watch the unsubbed version, I definitely missed a lot of the dialogs, only getting to understand a few words here and there, so this opinion of mine my change a little once I watch a subbed version I can download.

The soundtrack I loved, and this is always a plus for me, 'cause good music will always set a great mood for the scenes.   OK that's all for now!

I finally was able to download a subbed episode (many thanks to DB & L-E), it's very interesting now that I understand what they're saying and all XD So all in all, I loved the episode a lot....the seiyuu, the animation, practually everything. ^_^
Title: Re: [TRC] Episode 1 Discussions here
Post by: pinklacus on April 12 2005, 04:56 pm
The seiyuus did a good job especially fo sakura and syaoran. Touya sounded a bit old to me. Maybe i'm used to the seiyuus's voices in CCS.

I'm still warming up to the opening theme song and absolutely loves the ending theme song. The animation and sound effects look great to me. Tomoyo look a bit strange to me.

I feel that the storyline in the anime proceed quite fast compared to the one in the manga and maybe confusing to those who didn't read the manga.

Post by: Sya0ran on April 12 2005, 05:04 pm
I loved everything...yes, everythinng about the anime even though in some ways it irked me so.  Well, for example; like Syaoran's voice...it doesn't sound like Syaoran to me.  I thought his voice would be more gruff and deeper but its not.  I guess I'lll gete used to it sooner or later.  >>;

I love the opening and endings songs, simply and wonderfully made.  And everytime a background music would come on, I'd immediately go, "That is so .hack//sign."  lol

The animation and coloring of the characters seemed weird to me and too...pastel-like.  But its still pretty cool.  ^^  Oh, and the fact that they didn't blush or have any humor moments in the first episode like I expected I kinda got pissed off.  Its alright with that though, they at least better add it later on because the characters seem too serious for my liking.  xD

I also actually understood what they were saying because I can speak some japanese and its also the fact that I watched the actual subbed episode of it by Dattebayo.  Yes, with actual english subtitles.  lol  =]

Oh. I do agree on the part about the pastel colours thing. It does look kinda weird for me, since the anime gave me a very artsy view. And I'm quite okay with Syaoran's voice actually, but in some parts it just doesn't make sense to me (e.g. Sakura being lifted by Syaoran with only one hand, okay that may be some kind of humor that the anime crew want to present...but I just don't really get it). And one more thing, I totally agree with the blushing point too, I was very upset to find out that Sakura and Syaoran doesn't act like they like each other, yes they do act MORE intimate than CCS comparatively, but I just don't feel like they were in love. The chemistry cutesy feeling has gone completely. >< What a pity.

about the blushing... from the fanfics i read about ccs S&S... i was actually expecting to see them blush! ;_;...but then i guess it's alright if they have their reason for doing that... yay! i got the subbed version! ^_^

Post by: fisah on April 13 2005, 09:44 am
Yeah, I noticed that too, I mean, she literally tackled him, the glompage was there and all we saw was a little uncomforable feelings and then they end up talking about formalities. I was like: "WTF?!!?" When I saw it because CCS!Syaoran blushed at a smile, indirectly even!

*breath*

Anyway, i was a bit taken aback on that, but I hope some other scenes that contain blushes wont be some tacky thing >_>

of course, i dont understand a word of japanese- so i can only what they are talking abt!  but the images (and ofcourse, having read the anime- and only understanding the words- sakura and xiao long!!) gave me some clue what the scenes were talking abt! can i ask where some ppl downloaded the sub version? cos, i'll like to know what they reallli said!!

First of all, I want to make my preview too...watch it last night... :)

Ending- ARRRGGGHHH...i was tooo angry at the ending part!!! Well, the song is good, normal. But was does it have to do with all the LITTLE and BIG syaoran/ sakura flying/floating around...okay i dun mind them floating, but the pairings were weird, like a Big Syaoran with a SMALL sakura, okay what are they doing? Floating. To me, it looks like some GSD ending, but i would rather a BIG sakura and syaoran floating....*sigh* I thought of Terenda and Rika-san immediately when I saw that scene..and then here comes the scene that TOTALLY bummed me out. Sakura's wings brought her and Syaoran in the AIR!? And i dun mind that, if they have drawn the wings precisely, it looked like pieces of paper seriously and Sakura looks weird. Yea she does. And suddenly all the Little Syaoran/Sakura were all GONE!? And then the BIg ones hug each other. Weird....(5.5/10)

Okay so what do you guys think? Feel free to comment on my long post.

I think the small/big syaoran/sakura is some kind of 'spoiler' for the series. I could be totally wrong, and I've only read the manga up to the 4th book (waiting patiently for the 5th to be realised soon). Also the broken hourglass is a clue of some sort... I think. It's all about 'TIME'

Actually, for me, I think the significance of the small/big S + S was a reminder about Sakura's childhood memories. When she and Syaoran were just children. Another message I think is that, yes, even if they are periods away, they'll never be apart. I think that's what the vid is trying to say.

My thoughts exactly... It means that even time cannot affect their love for each other. The broken hourglass could mean that they have broken all barriers of time (with their love). :keke:

Yepz. I think thats why they put the hourglass thing at the end. Also, inside the hourglass is sand....*sizzles* reminds me of Clow Kingdom (like the the middle of the desert??). Ah, also, they travel in between time and space to different dimensions. :hehe:

i agree with most of you about the blushing thing...i reckon syaoran and sakura's relationship is really downplayed, but earlier... some ppl mentioned the ending theme being a bit wrong. i don't think it is, i know where you're coming from but it symbolises each grown up s+s's reliance and the importance they put on their childhood MEMORIES (i.e. relationship) of each other...i mean, the story IS about the loss of memory so...

we rabidly searched for a non BT episode Download. The only one we found was the raw episode from little wolf *hugs little wolf* (thanks^^)
so, since we had read the manga, we sat watching it in japanese and making up what they were saying...it got really funny, we thought it was good all except for kurogane's voice, we thought it should have a little more whinyness to his voice, but we loved it nevertheless and are still looking for a non bt sub...

I really don't know if advertising is not allowed, so gomen in advance, and I'll glady delete it.

If you want a non-bt site, fo to www.armycats.com (http://www.armycats.com) they have TRC there, that is compressed in Winrar for easy downloading and viewing for those non-bt users. It's also not avi., it's ram file as well. Also, the eyecatches and the openings and ending have been taking out to make it more easier to download. However, you can still watch the openings and endings seperatly.

Hope that helped.

[/off topic-ness]

About the whole symbolisim thing, I think it's acutally rather nice, and I'm glad Bee-train are paying attention to the little things that could be important to the future. Just wish they had that type of aware-ness for the bigger things as well..>_> ( refering to ep 2/3)

Hmm...It took me a while to find this area.  I noticed a lot of changes from CCS to TRC.  The largest on was how differently they look.  They look a lot more mature, and that's why I think they don't blush so much in the anime.  It is as though Clamp wan't us to see that they are mature enuogh to hide thier feelings, which may not be a good thing.
