When I finished reading the Outo arc, it didn't feel like a cop-out by any means. Given some of the things that come up in the story, it actually seemed like they planned that from the beginning.

Did we mention that this review was spoileriffic?
Well, having not read the manga (and will probably forget about this review by the time I ever do) I must say that if CLAMP painted a fairly realistic and powerful picture, then the whole "this didn't really happened" gimmick doesn't seem as negative. Remember, The Wizard of Oz ends in a similar fashion, and yet it's hailed as one of the gratest movies of all time. |

I completely agree with this and I hope that Tsubasa will have the same affect!!! But I am not too sure about the whole idea with the story but I will just have to see when I finish the series. |

Well... not really... It's only Outo World that's fake But the "Tsubasa" world(as in the world of the characters) is still the same (if that's what you're talking about) |

I saw the "review".
And promptly stopped after the first paragraph. The reviews author is clearly unknowledgable about the content he reviewed. And this review should be disregarded by nearly everyone who reads it. HELLO! Miyuki-chan in Wonderland!!! She's been in the story as a running gag since the beginning!!! Hell it's not even the first time a character familiar to the main characters show up. Geeez. It's called research do it sometime. I did finish reading the "review" though to become 'informed' on the review itself, since it yeilds nothing 'new' for myself because I read the book over a week ago. The ending is hardly clinche' more that the author is one of the millions of jaded readers who have read hundreds of books/seen hundreds of movies. Frankly the author should've been FAR more concerned with the vapid reuse of older characters without more then a casual glance at character development and depending wholly on previous works for character background. Not the first incredibly lacking review from this site that's for sure. But ALL that aside... I thought the whole 'after Oto' quite nice especially since it was like 90% based in Chobits/Angelic Layers universe. And it totally explains why the people in the 'game' didn't intially react weirldly or with slight humor a continual basis given the main characters names. |

She cameos when the boys travel together... but it's not really important to the story, it's just trivia though characters are reused, you don't have to read the other CLAMP mangas to understand the characters. Espicially in Syaoran where he is more mature than his CCS counterparts. Many characters i didn't know previously, but understood them in the context of the story (like Sorata... i read X later on) How ever i do agree that it wasn't clichéd in my view. Though there have been stories that end similary, but i still enjoyed it and had some intriguing parts that probably will play a key role later spoiler[like syaoran's sword] |

Actually you do need some familiarity with the CLAMP universe characters in order to really enjoy them. I'm speaking STRICTLY about the secondary characters here and not the main ones. The wink from the 'Final Boss' to Chitose is only one of about a dozen plus. All I'm saying is that the secondary characters that you've seen before could be far better fleshed out across the amount of books they are in.
Interesting THAT item isn't really any different, imo, then the kudan from books ago, though it may mean something to the Other Syaoran. I'm more interested in when/why/how a certain Card Captor's wizard shows-up and just what the guys send back to the TS Witch. |
