Yay, I just want to share that I finally got my anime and manga orders yesterday. And I’ve read vol. 7 & 8 of XXX Holic, and the story just gets more and more interesting, much more interesting than TRC in fact (sorry Shaoran-kun). Argh, it’s the latest that I’ve got, I wonder just how many more to end, I’m sure there’ll be more to come, and it’s kinda steering away from it’s interfacing series TRC, awww, I’m thinking too much, Yuuko haven’t got any contact with Mokona’s party since volume 6 (I think… I have to check hehehe). And yeah, Watanuki and Doumeki’s “relationship” is slowly gearing towards uhmmm… a more positive manner hehehe. Ah, CLAMP is really the best! I want to read ALL their works! I’m currently reading Blade of the Immortal (BOTI). But I’m afraid I’m a little lost, or I might be lost all the way… well not really… it’s just that, I stopped reading more than two years ago (yeah that long!). I kept on looking for sites or private dealers for the succeeding chapters, but I couldn’t find any. Thank goodness I attended toycon and came across Mango Manga! Lo and behold, they got the titles I’ve been looking for years… it was worth coming after all hehehe. Going back to BOTI, I remember Manji, Rin… the plot… I remember Anotsu Kagehisa and Maki Tachibana (oh who wouldn’t!)… but Magatsu… Kagimura… ohhh… I hate it, this is one of the best samurai epic I’ve known, yet I have forgotten some important details… I guess a lot had happened to me since volume 13 huh… and of course not to mention that I’ve been reading too many manga… books… oh well, I have to scan read BOTI from the beginning hehehe…

Okay, enough of manga, let’s move on to anime, I have just seen TRC the movie… it barely lasted 35 minutes. The story continues Shaoran and friends’ quest for Sakura’s feathers. In this movie, they landed on a bird-cage like dimension where birds are people’s companion, each person have a bird companion, some sort of alter ego… similar to Kudan, except that these birds have no supernatural powers, and thus cannot be used for combats, except the King’s and the princess’. Okay, when I was watching the movie, I noticed myself eagerly waiting to spot characters from other CLAMP series. And I even noted that 9 minutes had passed and still no cameos hehehe. I realized just now that ever since I read TRC manga, I’ve been testing myself how much I know the CLAMP world, indeed, I even write cameos that I could identify. Then I would compare it with the web’s info. And I would end up concluding, I’m not knowledgeable enough hehehe. But that was just a part of the edges of TRC. What really makes me stick to it, is the fun of seeing the characters I loved, in a whole new world… persona… yet the same attitude… back to the film, if I’m not mistaken, only Tomoyo appeared in the movie (aside from Mokona’s party and Yuuko). Haay, they had a different set of seiyuus… I miss Iwao Junko’s Tomoyo version…
