Tsubasa/xxxholic OAD [Update as of 04/01/09]

Nihon isn't bad at all, i loved it.. but my heart cries for Infinity and Celes lol, i cant help it, they were so good, and would've been great animated!

thanx everyone for the info and the pictures.. :)

My heart is racing so fast for this to come out!!! Does anyone still remember the great joy of the OVA's coming out, we wait for one episode, we watch it, so satisfied then we wait a few months and one episode again!

:]: I actually remembered the day when OVA 2 [or maybe OVA 3... I don't remember] came out... and we were all refreshing the OVA thread with replies flooding in like every few minutes I think is like every 2 min. or so... another page is added or something asking "Is the OVA out yet??"XD XD until the SM team need to jumped in and start stopping/calming people down to ensure that "WE WILL POST IT ASAP when it comes out"

ETA: Thanks cherrybloms-san for the slight summary... I would briefly quote what you have an update in my first post ^^

Thanks very much,YamiSakura.If they are thinking to make part of Celes,So it will be the part of Ashura's fight and the second curse.Maybe it takes 5 minutes or more and then they come to Nihon,the part when Tomoyo was waiting for them and take Kurogane away then he wakes up. After the part where Yuui came to see Kurogane.The part of Syaoran and Sakura and then the artifical arm and Seshirou appear.I Think this is the first part of Ova but how it takes 25 minutes .I don't know maybe they will cut some parts.

News From Chibiyuuto:
Tsubasa & XXXHOLiC OAD news
The official website of the Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC OADs has been updated with a few news.

First of all, the official logos of both titles have been announced, make sure to check them out!

Second, a new installment of Holitsuba Gakuen Drama CD will be released. In order to obtain it, one needs to purchase all 4 OADs of Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC and submit the application ticket that will come with the DVDs (it is only possible to obtain the Drama CD by purchasing all 4 DVDs).

Nanase Ohkawa once again is in charge of the script, and CLAMP will draw the jacket illustration.

Lastly, Tsubasa Shunraiki opening theme song will be performed by Maaya Sakamoto and entitled SONIC BOOM. The track will be included in Sakamoto's upcoming album due on January 14.

ASDFGHJKL A NEW HORITSUBA DRAMA CD?!?!? I love Horitsuba!!!! Thank you so much for the news, cherrybloms-san!! Hyuu~! I'm so excited now!! Hopefully someone will be able to translate the Drama CD, though....If/when the OADs come out in the US, I'd love to buy them to get the CD, but I wouldn't be able to understand it...It's enough to listen to the voices though Ahh!! I can't wait! :]:

I'm as excited as you too Invisible_writer! I wonder what this Horitsuba CD is about? :3 Oooo~ I wonder if we can get it on Amazon or something. ^.^

It's a shame they don't sell any TRC OVA/OAD's here. WE need a petition for it! >.<

Thank you so much for putting up the update cherrybloms-san I will update my "first" post with more information!!

And oh... in case people want to take a look at the designed official logo for both xxxholic OAD and TRC OAD, here's the logo pictures of them ^^

------------------------------------------------------------
Hm... OP song by Maaya Sakamoto that's a bit of a change... normally she is in-charge of the ending song for TRC side!! I wonder who is doing the ED song then?? I hope the pleasure goes to Makino-san ^^ [actually, I was expecting her to do the OP but Maaya is still good!!]

Though the title of the song: Sonic Boom.. ^^;;; Somehow gave me a feel of a "typical" action/fighting series!! I mean yeah... there are probably 2 major fight in there [syao/sei] and [syao/cloney]... but just as the title "Thunder Chronicle in Spring"... it seems slightly OT from the presented Arc = Nihon [or maybe is representing the intense adrenaline rush fighting with Syaoran ]...

Hopefully there's more to it with the lyric and the melody [not just a typical fighting aura music] ^___^

Wow... thank you so much for the updates!^ The logo pics look absoulutely faboulous!! Oh, and Mayaa Sakamoto will sing the OP? I think Yui Makino suits best with the OP but it's good to see something change for a bit. I hope these OADs will be as good as the OVAs
-----------------------------------
This is my goose for 2 days

*sigh*
I will be buying all four OAD but ,since I'm overseas (=outside of Japan), this kind of offer which pass by by mail order won't work outside of their country...
I'm sadly getting used to it ;___;
That said, while I imagine we will have one new color picture of the Holitsuba gang as a 'cover' or something of the CD Drama, I still think I might have liked a new Holitsuba comic better ^^

Actually... THAT I have to agree ~~ that was the reason why I wasn't all that screaming, excited and such when I got the news ^^;;
I am a bit less attach with Drama CD [or Sound episode etc]... I guess I like visual things a lot better than just "listening to something that I don't understand a word they say and I can't even look at their expressions." [even if there's translation I can follow along... it is just not the same ]

This is so exciting But we're not going to see Sakura much since she's going to be asleep all the time But, yay, I'm looking forward to see the fighting battle btw Cloney and Real Syaoran! And please, Clamp, no fillers.

So true. so true!! *nods nods*
In the end, hearing the japanese CD drama gets me nowhere since I don't understand a word said, and while reading the translation is always very nice, it just can't be compared to new manga pages

Hey guys, I think we're getting a bit off topic since we're talking about Hortisuba and not the new OVA.

Well... It is a yes and no, I suppose ^^;;; Since the reason why we were suddenly talking about Hortisuba is because... the updated news inform us that if we buy all 4 OAD, we "would be eligible" [of course for those people in JP only since it is not an international offer ] to get the new Hortisuba drama CD that CLAMP is working on currently [together with the new OAD]!!

But I suppose... we will focus back on the topic of OAD ^^ Hopefully we will get some more news/update soon!!

Kay, just checking.

I just got my december anime magazines this afternoon, and scanned some infos related to the OAD, you can see/DL them in my livejournal HERE

Thank you so much for sharing these CuteSherry^ Ah.. I wish there's a english translation version for this magazine. I can't hardly read Japanese..

Thanks very much,CuteSherry .Why they saying that Nihon after Tokyo?I Hope we get a new pictures soon

I can't read japanese at all, apart from maybe very used characters...
Which is why I posted them here and also in the Clamp LJ news: I hope someone would kindly volunteer and translate the interesting info from those scans ^^

Yeh, hopefully, someone could translate them or maybe, we can ask Yoshime dude to translate them for us since he's the only Japanese member here *looks around*. Nup, he's not online.

XXXHOLiC Shunmuki Press Conference
Just like Tsubasa Shunraiki, there was a press conference for XXXHOLiC Shunmuki with the cast and producer Kawaguchi Tohru, of PRODUCTION IG.

The interview can be read at Presepe.

A few highlights I was able to translate:

- Since there won't be broadcast restrictions, the adaptation will be more faithful to the manga (links with Tsubasa).

- The cast heard the OAD news not from the production crew, but from CLAMP members themselves.

- By the time the press release was made, only the script for the first episode was done, and the story was centered on XXXHOLiC #14. The second episode's script is still being written by Nanase Ohkawa (from what I could understand) and the content is completely unknown by the producer. But he says that's when the links with Tsubasa will happen.

- In their meetings with Nanase Ohkawa, her main concern was with the links between XXXHOLiC and Tsubasa.

- Lastly, but I am not totally sure of this, the producer said that a continuation beyond these two OADs is possible? (今回OADが2本なんですが、これが終わった後も続けていければなと思っております。) "This time there are two OADs, but even after this is over I think it could continue."

I couldn't belive that they still didn't finish the script .I thought they finish it.What they means that they are going to think to contiue,that's will be so great
Wait volume 14 of xxxholic is after Kohane Arc,the first episode is should be the part of Sakura when she get in dream world?

Thanks Cherrybloms-san for the quick update... so, I suppose the xxxholic OAD is going to do the "rightful" version of Kohane arc then

Thanks for your recent updates you two^^.
Do you know if I can preorder the OADs on amazon.jp? I only found the first holic OAD. I would like to preorder them all together becuase I have to pay 3000 Yen per order.
