CLAMP's Famous Works > Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE

How did you discover TRC?

Let's see, I didn't get into it right away.  I had heard on other forums on how slow and boring the anime was (around the time it was licensed, I think), so I didn't even bother with it.  Later on I downloaded the first chapter and flipped through it and wasn't that impressed, may have been because I had read Cardcaptor Sakura, but I'm not sure.  Then I read xxxHolic and fell in love with that, and I remembered Yuuko from TRC and made the connection, but I still didn't read TRC. 

I don't know what made me actually read TRC, but I think it was LJ icons (seriously XP).  Lately they seem to be what catches my attention to check out a series, quite a few of my faves were found this way (actually, this is what made me read X...)  I had good timing though, because when I gave the series a try again was just when the Tokyo world started and that thoroughly hooked me. 

I'd say I still like xxxHolic more than Tsubasa, but it's also for the same reasons why I love Tokyo Babylon (they're quite similar, actually).

Amazon.com. I never gave the series much thought, it didn't sound like anything interesting. Boy goes around saving girls' memories'. Cliche. I checked it out on wikipedia, saw some pics and saw there was an anime. I wanted something to watch and found out that there were fansubs, so I said, hey, its CLAMP it'll prolly be good.

 :inlove: I fell in love with Fai at the title song and have remained so ever since of Fai and, of course, the Kuro-Fai pairing. The first season anime was good, so I decided to try the manga a few times. But I found it boring and tedious. I ended up getting into it when I decided I wanted to see more of Fai. The anime began to get worse as the manga got better and now I'm a pretty big fan.

Frankly, I read it almost exclusively for Fai as he is one of the best anime/manga characters I've seen in a long time. I'm very unimpressed by Sakura and Syaoran so far as they lack character and interest. The manga is very repetitive and doesn't get anywehre until the most recent volumes and is somewhat predictable. In the latest chapters I find myself cursing at the chapters on Sakura because it takes away from Fai's screen time.  :sweatdrop: I'm like that. I tried to read XXholic because of the crossovers but I despise XXXholic. I hate the characters and the story is boring and pointless. (Gwahaha, sorry fans  :tongue:) CLAMP certainly isn't what it used to be. There was a time you read CLAMP because they were good, not because the story would 'get better'.

From one of the polish magazines ("KAWAII" :) about manga and anime. It was just an information about CLAMP's new work. I googled it, read more information and just fell in love...
Those beautiful pictures, story... *_*
yep, that's all

Capella:
I was in Barnes & Noble a spotted Del Rey's vol.1 of TRC and vol.1 XXXHOLiC. I had read a few CLAMP series before (Chobits, Angelic Layer, Wish, Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, Shirahime-syo, some of Magic Knight Rayearth, and the first two volumes of X) and thought 'hey, CLAMP series I haven't heard of." I picked up TRC and thought it sounded interesting in general, but I hadn't read CCS so I thought I wouldn't like it. I put it down a got Holic. HOWEVER Del Rey, in a clever marketing strategy, put about five pages from the first chapitre of TRC in the back of the book.

What can I say? I read those pages and fell head over heels in love. I became obsessed with getting the first volume, and though it took me awhile, I was able to obtain it and have been happily in love with the series ever since. <3 What drew me in? Well, Syaoran and Sakura were cute and lovely, but I don't think it was them. It was the desert country with its little houses and graceful castle, its ruins and royalty and excavation. There was an air of exoticism and adventure which immediately cast its spell on me. I find this in all of TRC's worlds, and it is probably near the core of why I love this series so.

KratosAurion:
I found out about Tsubasa cause of my cousin who told me it was coming. I knew about CCS since long ago so I was like "woot another anime with sakura and syaoran!"

I've followed the anime since chapter 1 came out subbed, and I started reading the manga recently(I owe it to this forum btw)
