[TRC Arc 2] Episode 14: Black Steel

[Hack]

simple answer : they're evil

*runs away,,,*

[ishiyaki]

yeah...

*hides under the bed*

[Capella]

Well, I'm relieved by what I know of the episode, though that's because I had this horrible fear that Bee-train wouldn't include Kendappa. I'm not entirely sure why. But she's still there, so I'm okay. The lack of explanation is lousy, though. Why must you shoot yourselves in the foot by rushing things so, Bee-train?! And the blood is as expected. *Sigh*

Frickin'  BEETRAIN.

Uhm... Okay... Confusion galore! They immediately started with the damn book! And Syaoran wasn't shown once during ANY of the flashbacks! You see him for like... 30 seconds at the end. No indication to how he got the book, or how it works. >__>
The first 8 minutes are filled with flashbacks that, as far as I can remember, were NOT in the manga. Something about Kurogane catching fish, and a seemingly boring conversation between mommy and daddy. On the plus side... Kurogane in a bathtub! Naked! =P
Still, they could've cut a bit (like 5 minutes) of that useless beginning, to do a decent Lecourt intro. >_>

The violence was toned down horribly. I squeed at the blood on Fei Wang's sword, but then I saw that Kurogane's mommy wasn't bleeding at all, and felt my heart sink again.
I squeed at the arm of Kurogane's daddy. Then it fell and shattered into stoney pieces. I felt my heart sink again.
Kurogane was going on a slight murderous rampage, clutching his mommy's body .Okay, fair. Tomoyo binds him to the pillar by using a couple of rings who wrap themselves around Kuro-chan. ... WTF? What happened to Kurogane's scar?! DAMN YOU, BEETRAIN!

The music was good though. Chibi Kurogane made me squeal, and Kuro's daddy is HAWT!

Thanks for telling me...  so I'll be disappointed before watching the episode and not while watching it. I can't believe they did that... if they tune down on violence now... what on earth are they are going to do when they reach the recent chapters??

I bet they'll make Fai's eye  turn into ball of light and flow into C!Syaoran.. I just can see them doing that... and they'll definitly cut off the part where he tries to eat the second eye...

Please CLAMP, they me you aren't happy with those changes...

I had too high hopes for this episode... darn...

[mela]

I haven't watched it yet, but the fact they turned Tomoyo's hand piercing into binds makes me laugh.

And the general consensus I get is that Kurogane's dad is hot. Hehe.

[Smile_For_Me]

Animation was good, and what was changed/left out, made me sad,  BeeTrain must die,
but over all, I liked it, I can't wait for next weeks epi, Fai looks so hot, so was Kuro's daddy, hehehe

I hope, in the end, when TRC Is over, and the Anime as well, I hope they make an OVA, for both TRC and XXXHolic, because saddly both Animes are lacking in what the manga has, the real story, and no 20 second pause and horrid animation, pluse the blood will not be left out if its an OVA, what was CLAMP thinking when they gave TRC to Beetrain, I have no clue, mad house, or GONZO would have been better......done with ranting

Ep17: "The fifth basement"
maybe it's the end of the 14th volume?

[Sailor Yue-chan]

This wasnt as bad as it could have been - I actually cried at the bit where Kuro's mother died. But, after that, it went down hill a bit for me.. what with the glowing-pink-binds-of-happy-luff-yay! and all..

And how the friff did Kuro's mother manage to not not bleed, like.. at all, after being stabbed with a fricking huge sword straight through her middle? Bee-train.. D:

I'm dreading Tokyo now.

[Sailor Yue-chan]

the ep could have been worse, but SHOULD have been better ^^

pretty good considering it's Bee Train, but it really should have had some stuff before the memories of Kurogane because Syaoran holding that book and crying was just plain weird like this

[Fay_flowright]

in your opinion will they broadcast the Tokyo part? °__°

They have to show the Tokyo arc, it's too important plotwise not to show. They'll just remove as much of the blood from it as they possibly can.

I don't doubt they can manage quite a bit - they don't need to rip off Kamui's arm or cut Syaoran's throat, and could probably find some way around making real!Syaoran's leg bleed when it gets stabbed through.  As for Fai's eye, well, I agree with the person who said that they won't show clone!Syaoran trying to eat the other one out, and using glowly lights (just having him remove the magic, or remove the eye by magic) is possible.

And that's my prediction for how Bee-train will handle it.

But Syaoran has no magic. That would mean Fai would use his own magic to give Syaoran his eye, thereby completely wrecking the 'Fai tried to give Syaoran his heart back, together with the eye' clue. If you catch my drift.
As for R!Syaoran's leg, it probably won't get stabbed at all. And Xing whatshername... She'll be lying on the floor, completely NOT bleedin, but still obviously dead, with Fei Wong laughing like a creepy psychopath.

Yes, if they keep this up, the Tokyo saga is doomed.

[Xiao_Lang]

*sigh* Bee-train need a kick up the ***.
whos with me?

Animation improved from last two episodes thankfully, however NOT happy the missed out the introduction to the country. Its a very interesting land to me and it appears to be based on London which is a city I love alot, I was looking forward to its place in the anime, but obviously Bee-train can not be bothered with it frankly.

Next, where the hell is Syaoran? If Bee-train aren't careful they are going to start confusing people who haven't read the manga. ¬____¬ ugh. CLAMP please punish them.
Its pretty simple Bee-train, you FOLLOW WHAT CLAMP GIVE YOU. Its not that hard, you have references for crying out loud.

Not enough blood. The violence was toned WAY down ;__;
WTF are they going to do when they reach animating chapter 119+ ??
maybe we'll have a miricle in which no blood comes out of ny wounds, or instead of actual violence they will just have a verbal disagreement? o___O

*spazums*

[Meowzy]

I can just imagine CLAMP sitting in front of the tv on Saturday morning, burying their faces in their hands.

I can see it now...

Fai: Oh snap and darn, Syaoran. You tore out my eye.

Kurogane: That really wasn't very fair y'know Kid. but, who cares, because now I get to hold Fai for the next 3+ chapters.

Clone!Syaoran: Terribly sorry, but I need this eye in order to continue gathering feathers.

Sakura: *sob* I am quite worried.

Kamui: ...*files nails*

Oh SUPER-DUPER. I just can't wait until they get to animating chapters 119+!! [/sarcasm]

If Kamui files his nails, will he still be able to slash people with them? Or is that how he keeps them sharp?

Seriously, they'll take all the feeling out of that arc.

Neither, it's obviously because he just loves his manicures DAH-ling.

...Or it could be to keep them sharp XD

someone said that this season is low par cuz it doesnt have CLAMP's involvment. i hope to god that they involve them selves after seeing how abad they made this ep (or better yet, after they saw the god awful eps. seriosuly, only 10% of fandome LIKED those eps O_o

tokyo with beetrain left alone= disatar and loss of anime-fandome (mostly the manga readers.)
