[TRC Arc 2] Episode 25: Freezing Mitama

[Sailor Yue-chan]

^ screen shots!! season 1 PWNS season 2!! XD

the music rape in this season...ugh. they totaly over played kaze no machi he in the roadtrip episode >_<  and ep 42, "far side of nostaliga" it DID have one too many insert songs. sure the song layed whtn syaoran remembered the apple was beautiful, but they should have chosen one of the regular soundtracks for when they traveld to the ruins

as for the start of season 3...they might end up being afraid to start off with suc a dark storyline. a perfect opening for sason 3 would be Coutry of Idols. it was only 3 manga chapters (ch 50-52), so its a perfect single eppisode manga filler arc. its cute, funny and it will show sakura NOT BEING WORTHLESS!!! plus, i think its im[ortant to see just how much power ths one little girl has! otherwise people who dont read the manga will be seriously confused when sakura

talks to subaru in that cocoon thingy, because he's a "lonely soul" and stuff. they wouldnt understand that her soul was called by his.

  not this "going into a sakuragasm and flying all over the place" like she's been this season <_<

OMG.  Yes. xD

I never understood why they skipped those chapters over.  There was no mass blood spill, no drinking, and the most violent thing was Syaoran getting hit on the head   Unless they thought children might want to start setting up sacrifices because of the referance to it....^^;; it would make the perfect little break-in episode <3

[Tatasenko]

the two first openings of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle were just showing the team fighting,running,dancing and jumping like grasshoppers,so from the beginning Beetrain was leading the anime on the wrong way.
the problem is that they wanted to display The anime like a pure shonen serie while CLAMP was more based on shojo feelings in the manga,so the alchemy between the two couldn't work 

the anime of Tsubasa is hollow,without any moral or philosophy,the dialogues are empty and the characters seem to have great difficulty to speak clearly,like if Beetrain hasn't any brainwaves...
it really seem that there wasn't any team work between CLAMP and Beetrain,so the result is that the anime and the manga are totally dispersed

i see people concerned about the setting up of the tokyo arc...  to tell the truth i am too.  i suppose i agree with country of idols being epi number 1, but if we know beetrain, they just won't bother with most of the violence in tokyo.  they'll prolly just make up some bogus storyline that skips most of it. 

Show content

for instance: Syaoran's eye seal breaks and other syao shows up, but no violence, no fye losing eye or leg stabbing, etc.  syaoran just kinda goes crazy and leaves.  <-------sounds like a great beetrain plan to me NOT

just sayin', i wouldn't be surprised.

ps;  who else thinks that comparing xxxholic anime to tsubasa;
Yuuko:
in xxxholic, while she is lanky and has very cut features, she is still beautiful and kinda girly
in tsubasa, she just plain looks like an ugly man..................  who gets uglier in season 2

I agree!! I've always wondered why Clamp isn't involved in the making of "their" animes. They could at least say something when the anime gets on the wrong track.(TRC)
About the openings, the songs are good but why all the shonen? The guys are fighting while Sakura's running around like the little helpless princess she is, at least that's the image I get. And the dialogues, It goes like this:

Sakura:  Syaoran-kun.....
Syaoran: Hime!

It continues for an eternity.

I can't say I've always disliked the anime, the beginning was good but now it's way out of line.

The Tokyo arc, I know it's not going to be the same ......I'm not sure I'll watch it, maybe, but only to see how bad it is.

spot on o_o 'hollow' is the perfect way to describe it. Barely any emotion or feeling.

--Dear Bee train, please stop making Syaoran look SO damn serious ALL the time, He might end up with his eyebrows stuck like that or his brain will consequently implode. thank you.--

TRC is serialized in a shounen magazine so it is suppose to be shounen. and most clamp works are more on shounen/seinen/josei side.  The only shoujo title under clamp label is CCS.

if they are going to turn TRC into shoujo sakura should be the one fighting battles and not syaoran.

Well, TRC is Shonen to begin with. I don't see anything wrong with the guys fighting and doing all the flashy stuff, and Sakura running seems fine as well. I know what you mean, she can look like a helpless princess, but putting her fighting would look out of character wouldn't it?

But oh well, i guess it's irrelevant if it's shounen or shojo, people from both genders end up watching it anyway

Definitely this season was a dissapointment. Like you said, the beggining was good, season 1 wasn't the best thing ever made but it was pretty good, and it followed the manga most of the time. The fillers and the quality of the animation were good most of the time...

But season 2 is a completely different story. Personally what I hate the most is the character raping, Kurogane in particular, they ruined him completely this season >.<

[Smile_For_Me]

CLAMP didn't giver the rights for TRC to BEETRAIN, it was the manga company they work with that gave it to BEETRAIN. So we have three forces agaist CLAMP.
                                                      The Manga Comp
                                                            NHK
                                                       BEETRAIN

Those are the people to bark to for crappyness

The music and a few epi's are the only things that is saving the TC anime at the moment.

definatly. if it werent for Yuki Kajiura, Itou Eri and Kinya (and ocasionaly help from the VAs) TRC anime wouldnt be worth our time.

I agree, the music is the only thing that you really like about the anime. At least in season 2.

[Sandra-chan]

Yeah maybe, but still they have a habit of playing the same songs over and over again until you get really tired of them.... 

[Kuro-puppy]

there is A LOT of insert songs this season but i've gotta admit that i really like the Chaos arc with Sakura being angry (i think it's the first time she's angry in the anime) and Syaoran VS Chaos was a good battle in this

i hope the subs of the last ep comes soon, so i can watch Syaoran wielding that big knife/sword thingy XDD

[Zettai daijoubu]

i thought that this filler was quite good.. maybe bcoz Chaos-sama is so good-looking!!!!! *inset fan-gal squeals* but i do hope they arrive in Tokyo soon after this.. i can't wait till Clonie appears!!! GO CLONIE!!!!! U are much much cooler than Choas-sama.. dun worry!!! hahax..
