Cool hope that it's done by Production IG. So far Tsubasa Chronicle done by Bee-Train has been a snore fest.

True but the XXXHOLIC movie was done by Production IG plus their the parent company of Bee Train so I don't see a problem with Production IG animating XXXHOLIC TV series.

Yeah, I think this definitely falls into the "Sky is Blue" category of news.

This is cool news, I dig XXXHolic.

That said I hope Bee Train doesn't handle this one. I don't need 26 episodes of slow pans across characters who all look identical while the same 3 Yuki Kajiura songs play.

It's more awesome why the sky is blue. Wink

If they are as good as her other songs have been, I won't mind a bit. Wink

Eh, I've been enjoying Tsubasa Chronicle as done by Bee Train, but I'm the kind of person who enjoys Bee Train animes and has a tolerance for slow pacing. At least the character designs for Tsubasa Chronicle are varied, though. I'm hoping Yuki Kajiura does do the music for XXXHolic, though Zac is right that they need to switch up her music tracks a bit more in pretty much every Bee Train anime but .hack//SIGN.

Yes, but Noir itself was already insanely boring to begin with, so it's not exactly a good thing.

Mai Hime and Mai Otome has done a great job switching Kajiura's music I wish they Bee Train did the same thing but instead repeat her music quite alot.

...

dang, I hate to say it, buy I kinda fall on the same argument here...

I know it's bad to make assumptions considering I haven't actually seen TSUBASA... but judging from all the other BEE TRAIN shows I've seen, I just can't help but feel like it was a bad move to put it in their hands

Why aren't they bringing back MADHOUSE anyway? I need to know the story here... (someone here must know)

I'm secretly hoping that they're making a TOKYO BABYLON TV series behind our backs, but of course that's just wishful thinking

Totally agree with you. Tokyo Babylon is the best work of clamp!! Recently, clamp has been losing their touch. Tsubasa is just a plain boring story. Using all the characters from their previous work is just a gimmick that doesn't save the story. Sorry to all the clamp fans out there. But I can tell u I have been a clmap fan since X first came out, so I know what I'm talking about. Their recent release is just lacking that artistic value that their early works had.

I am still happy that they are making XXXholic TV. Tokyo Babylon is still better... well, at least XXXholic is still better than Tsubasa.

I actually really like XXXholic, one of my favorites from CLAMP... but TSUBASA...

I actually liked it when it first came out *the manga*

But after the novelty of seeing CCS characters in action again wore off, I realized that it wasn't as great as I first thought it was...

TOKYO BABYLON is my favorite manga of theirs though, for sure
