xxxHOLiC TV

[Ryllharu]

The series is running a little different from the manga. I wasn't expecting Mokona to show up until they did the Tsubasa Chronicle cross-over eps. (If you watch the first couple eps of TRC, you can see Watanuki in the background). Since in the manga the Mokonas do not appear until then, I wonder how they will tie it in now.

I did see some of my favorite parts of the manga in the OP, and I'll be looking forward to some of those hopefully. If they don't show up, I probably won't mind in the end, because I really enjoy this series (loved the movie). It is probably one of the deeper series I follow. Yuuko's words (especially wonderful when delivered by Sayaka Ohara) almost always have some deep meaning when she's not getting drunk.

Reading those comments I really want to see the ep now... and how the changes will affect future events.

If they make it believable, Mokona's introduction, and it does not interfere with the "crossover" with the past TRC series it shall be fine.

We just need to remember that TRC has double tankubons than xxxHOLIC.

Being a CLAMP addict I can't miss this one

I haven't seen it yet, but when does this really take place? Before or after Tsubasa Chronicles... Because, if it's before, then there shouldn't be too big of a problem with the introduction of Mokona.

The only real difference is that the Black Mokona awakens in this eps rather than both at the same time do when they have to give one off to Syaoran at the end of the first volume of xxxHolic.

Chronologically, xxxHolic starts before TRC, they meet after Watanuki is apprenticed to Yuuko, but they run parallel to each other for the most part once they meet. Thinking on it now, it probably will not be too much of an issue.

The next eps continues to follow the manga, at least by what was shown in the preview.

EDIT: If you were a fan of TRC, you at the least have to watch the crossover eps. Yuuko says a considerable amount about Sakura and Syaoran in the manga after they leave. For me, it made some of the scenes in TRC more touching. I do not know how much of it they will cover in the series, but read the chapters if you have to (the last chapter of vol 1 and the first of vol 2 are the crossover chapters).

I like CLAMP anime, although chronicle was kinda meh :P
But this seems awesome!

Just saw the first ep and... wow.
I liked the added girl who wished to see spirits part.
The Mokona part was... weird... but I guess it really does not affect much.
