Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE / xxxHolic

Post by Mystes »

I think that these two series were really good. xxxHolic a bit darker than TSR, but both kinda have the same drawing sttyle. Discuss.

If you look at all CLAMP's endings, maybe aside Cardcaptor Sakura's, you feel like it's rushing.

Which is why it's a pity....xxxHolic was their best work.

Hmm...when I was young, I liked TRC better. Though now that I'm older, xxxHolic is better than TRC for me. Though after all, TRC was aimed at more younger audience than xxxHolic.

I dunno...I like the surreal fantasy atmosphere and artstyle of xxxHolic...makes it feel as if you were reading Japanese folk tales and ghost stories rather than a generic fantasy.

xxxHolic? True enough. I really like the deals Yuko makes with the customers.

I'd probably be something like this:

"Sure I'll help you take care of your problem. Just sign this contract ensuring me your first and second borns, the kidneys from your beloved, and your unwilling participation as my christmas tree decoration"

That's more like Russian roulette depending on her mood which is directly proportional to how much sake you can offer her.


Maru and Moro are ultra cute though.

There is one major difference between Russian Roulette and Yuko: Yuko does not kill people with guns and the like.

No...she leaves them to be killed by their own stupidity for humans or actively exorcises/ destroys them for non-humans (barring a few and only if they are the customer). Coz she's kind of a shamisen...
