Tsubasa Chronicle Vol.1

I'm sure we all waited in high anticipation at the coming of this anime. Now that it's here, would it manage to enter the realms of the likes of Cardcaptor Sakura and Chobits? Erm, not quite. The whole thing starts off more or less on track and the first and first-half of the second episode are heart racing pieces of animation. But things being to get weird post-transportation to the Hanshin Republic when they end up in the middle of the Kudan gang fight rather than in the house of Mr and Mrs Arisugawa which is where they are suppose to be manga-wise! Unfortunately this won't be the last time we experience such deviation as will be seen in later installments... The highlight has to be the music by the maestro that is Kajiura and her 4 OSTs to the series are worth getting in themselves.

Even though the anime is no better than the manga, the box case included with the DVDs is beautifully designed and illustrated by CLAMP. The best of the anime, are the opening and ending, both by KINYA, buts still a DVD that should be in your collection.

Contains episodes 01 and 02 of CLAMP's acclaimed Tsubasa Chronicle (from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles manga). 01 - Hitsuze no Deai 02 - Tatakau Chikara With a beautiful soundtrack by Kajiura, volume 1 sets the plot of Syaoran's multi-dimensional quest in search of Sakura's feathers. Accompanied by Kurogane, Fay D. Fluorite and Mokona Modoki, Syaoran sacrifices his relationship with Sakura in order to save her life. Also crosses with Clamp's XXXHolic characters. Includes non-credit opening and ending sequences as well as the promo for the series.
