<< < (12/29) > >>

Ashlee:
AAHHHH, i just watch it finally. Its so cute, and a bit sad, and aahhh. I can't help it. I don't know what to say ^_^

Rika Iiyumi:
current state after watching: -crying tears of joy in corner-

OP: I LOVED THIS SONG Kotani Kinya-sama was actually kinda tolerable in this ^^. The shadow thing was a great idea, but I think it was more appropriate for Syaoran than anybody else...NEE?! XD And the random Sakura thing was um...well I really liked it ^^ it added prettiness to the fighting around her XD that's how I look at it anyway...^^;;;

EP: i.cannot.believe.that.they.skipped.two(er three).entire.worlds. I was like NANDESTE?!! when i saw it ^^ but then I remember that Tomoyo-sama was in this world, so I went all floaty and decided to bear with it ^^ (Maaya Sakamoto-sama does Tomoyo's voice, but it didn't even sound like Sakamoto-sama...). I didn't like how they included Charnel and Keefer with the other racers, but it's not like it would jeopardize the entire series ^^ so I gave up. But I didn't like how they decided to scrap the original 'smoke near the end of the finish line' part that CLAMP had and decided to go with the 'engine overheated and blew up' part. It TOTALLY took away from the 'Ohmigod it all depends on Sakura now!"  :sad5: Sakura needs a little spotlight too y'know! XD And the part where 'Syaoran walks away from the fire mostly unscathed and is stared at by everybody' kinda made me sad...it was WAY too original and made me feel embarrassed...(i have no idea why)...
oh yea i forgot about the hand part! ^^ it was kinda...erm....well it was cute...but...well when i saw it i was like  -_- and skipped ahead a bit ^^ i don't like those kind of scenes for some reason..even if it is between the number 1 couple in CLAMP!  :keke:

ED: I LOVED THIS SONG. It has just become my Number 1 Favorite Maaya Sakamoto song of all time! (next to Kodoku and Loop ^^) I loved how the big Syaoran bent down to the small Syaoran (although it needed to be clearer ^^) and the little Fai and Kurotan were KAWAII (although i hope they confirmed it with CLAMP-sensei first....gr.....-will kill if they didn't-) i wasn't amazed with the Sakura pics in this ED, except for the first one ^^ her wings were kinda weird though o_o

-must find songs-

the second season is looking to be much better than the first season anyway ^^

*looks up at post* OOPS sorry for long post ^^ i rant a lot...

OMG!  I think I almost died from all the squeeing I did during this episode!

First, the opening animation was excellent (I prefer the song to Blaze too).  Yes, I noticed the 'Fay leaning on Kurogane' part right at the beginning too ::kurofayfangirl::.  In fact, I stopped the episode and watched it again...several times!  I like how Kuro-rin doesn't even look put out by it, in fact, he looks quite cheerful!  Sakura looks beautiful in her scenes too.  It contrasted well with the others fighting.

Syaoran was emmensly adorable during the whole episode (his animation was DEFINITELY up SEVERAL notches), especially when Show content he blushed and made the promise with Sakura and announced to her he had managed to keep it .  He is the major reason for me squeeling!

Kurogane was HOT in this episode.  I don't drool over manga/anime guys (after all, they are just ink on paper/cel art), but his animation was HOT!  I don't know if it was the clothes (which were cool) or the improved animation (he looks younger than in season 1, more matching with his age) but I heartly approve!  HOT!

Fay was prettyful like always, and I especially like the way he looked when he went serious when Show content talking about Ashura.  It was disconcerting that Kurogane brought Show content Ashura   up before the Shurano arc but hopefully it won't mess up the timeline.  [edit]  Just as a side note...his clothes were VERY gay!  If Clamp weren't trying to tell us something when they designed his clothes then I don't know WHAT they were doing! [/edit]

Sakura...kawaii desu yo!!!  LOL!  She has had the biggest improvement on her animation IMHO.  I think the animation studio took a good lesson from the movie animators.  Show content HOE!!!!!!  LOL!

Tomoyo...maybe it's because she acts so much like Tomoyo from CCS, in this episode, that I am expecting her to look and sound more like CCS!Tomoyo, but I wasn't impressed with her.  Don't get me wrong, I love Maaya Sakamoto but she doesn't sound like Iwao Junko, and Iwao Junko is firmly ingrained in my mind as Tomoyo.  I wish they had gotten Iwao-sensei to voice Tomoyo.  She's an excellent singer too, so she could have done ED songs also.  Her animation is the worst of the lot, also.  She looks less like Tomoyo than she has in previous appearances and doesn't even match manga!Tsubasa!Tomoyo too well.  Her personality is spot on, however, and it's good to see her fangirling Sakura again.

Episode:  I liked the pace, and I understand why they put this arc at the beggining of the season.  It includes most of the characters we met from last season, so it acts as a bridge to cover the gap.  The bunny world would have made an incredibly boring season opener so they had to put something else ahead and the Shurano arc has too many serious undertones to be used to open the second season.  I DO hope they use the rest of the timeline in the correct order though.  I'm not sure about how some things were transferred from the manga but I'll wait until the arc is over before passing judgement.

Ending:  OMG!  CHIBI!FAY and CHIBI!KURO-RIN!  ::fangirls::  ::faints::  

::cough::  Anyway, loved the animation...very beautifully done.  I like the song too, but I need to hear a full version before it gets as much (or maybe more) love than Loop.

Chibi!Fay and Chibi!Kuro-rin!  That makes the whole season for me!  I will watch the ED for each episode diligently!  I can't wait for the Rekord arc now!

Sailor Yue-chan:
heh, the funniest part IMO was Show contentwhen sakura crashed her flyer into kurogane and Fai's flyers at night. when syaron was teaching her how to drive it.

oneofthethree:
Opening - I loved the opening, I thought the opening for season one was good, this beats it BY FAR! I really really liked the shadow thing, much more fast paced,  and the song, lol I like it!

episode - Ok, they skipped how many worlds? Then they're already in the race! What!??? They just cut oh ( flips scanlations) how many manga? I don't know, they might come back to those worlds, they might not. But as for a fast paced opening it rocked! It was just as fast paced as the season one opening, not to mention have much much better animation.
The closing,  I thought it so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! I actually mistook fai for sakura at first, but then realized, wait they already showed her so it must be fai.... lol then who's that little kid? Kuragone? Eh??? I haven't read that far in the manga so I don't know. lol I only read up to piffle world which is where the series starts. So anything they do beyond here is beyond me, but it looks sooooooooooooooooo goooood!
I can't wait for next Week!
