Why is there this perception that Tsubasa-M is 'more' dedicated? Surely they've both shown that they'll do ANYTHING for the one they love (and vice versa) so comparing what they've done in different...

Rosseau. . .

Annnywaay. . . speaking of multiculturalism and TRC has anyone else really registered that CCS!Syaoran and CCS!Sakura (who is a minor character in TRC and therefore Relevant) are a...

Does anyone else think that it would be totally mint if Fai, Kurogane, Tsubasa-M, and Mokona all visited the Horitsuba world? :D

Fai's reaction to H!Fai and H!Yuui would be interesting. . .

Hmmmm. . . My personal definitions of 'heart' and 'soul' are other way round, but your interpretation of what the two mean in TRC is interesting in light of the translation notes in volume 16 of the...

YES! All but indisputable evidence that Tsubasa-F was cloned at the winding back! Thank you Shiru-chan!

Gutted about your rabbit :(

That's a really interesting point about the same personality not being able to exist in two people and it touches on several weird little contradictions in the text. At one point it says Tsubasa-M...

They (along with every true couple ever) remind me of sonnet 116. Particularly the lines "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove. O, no! it is an...

How exactly has it taken me the best part of a month to get here?

Okay, I really struggled to come to terms with the apparent bruising disappointment that was the end of TRC after 232 came out. I...

Surely you mean "Tsubasa (M) and Tsubasa (F)"? :D

Well, if I'm being balanced and reasonable I'd say that Clamp are so very good at relationships that every one has its own subtleties and...

I find that even though my interests and main focus move on, I still remain loyal to the things that were important to me. They matter, but they're closed interests rather than open ones. I sort of...

Look, I fully support people's right to be KuroFai, I recognize the ship as a totally legitimate perspective even though I don't support it, I don't see you as a bunch of ditzy yaoi fangirls (the...

NO!!! Tsubasa(M) and Tsubasa(F) are their names from now on! In full accordance with this revelation, let the prefix 'C!' be stripped from those formerly referred to as C!Syaoran and C!Sakura in...

IT'S CLOSURE!!! THEY'RE USING THEIR REAL NAME(S) -lol-!!! THEY'VE NOT PERMANENTLY MERGED!!! YES!!!

THANK YOU CLAMP!!! I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T LET US DOWN!!!

Or at least I really really hoped you...

You're right, we are lucky! I remember when I was in Paris there was a moment when in the midst of madly wishing I'd get CLAMPs' autographs (I find plurals and possessives SO hard when talking about...

Americans are truly ingenious at finding ways to avoid leaving their cars

Yay Aussies!

Well, that chapter made me furiously angry and kept me pacing about in a rage and crying myself to sleep until I realized what happened was right. I've wondered for a long time where...

I found the dialogue in this chapter generally difficult to follow but FWR screaming "You damned clones" and Fai and Kurogane's stubborn refusal to give up are most satisfying! Looks like he's...

New and Improved Tube Scene! Two for the price of one!

I wonder if FWR will actually be able to turn back time or if something will get in the way of that.

As for the three Syaorans, I think...

He's going to wind back time again? I missed that. . .

He's going to pay a price. Perhaps he already has by becoming so twisted. If you think about it, that, in itself is a punishment.

"It's a creation's lot!" - C!upporters of the world! ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

Okay! My slight inability to take that chapter seriously (no doubt the fault of the grand ensemble tube scene)...

First off, I, Tsubasaholic, by the power vested in me by force of personal opinion, do declare R!Sakura to be well, truly, conclusively, totally, comprehensively, permantently, entirely, eternally,...

I think FWR was somehow responsible or at least feels responsible for Yuuko's death and a combination of love (whether romantic or platonic) and guilt drove him to the extremes it has.

Guilt is...

Getting the chapter so soon reminds me of Voltaire-sensei's awesome line: "Ice cream is exquisite - what a pity it isn't illegal". Not directly relevant, but the illegal buzz from something perfectly...

ZaCloud, you are a dear! If I lived near you and knew who you were I'd make you cookies or fudge or whatever baked good your heart desires as a thank you present but I don't so you'll have to make do...

It's a conspiracy! I don't know who by or what for but that doesn't mean it's not a conspiracy!

It does all seem a bit rushed eh. That's been mildly bothering me actually, the narrative flow seems...

I LOVED R!Syaoran's face! It's absolutely made my day :D And the way his parents are all so sweet about it (going by expression). The clones haven't spoken to Fai and Kurogane yet. I really hope they...

Miyu Irino also voiced Haku in Spirited Away. Haku was the first anime guy I ever had a sort of crush on. . .

At risk of saying something mildly off topic, I love EVERYTHING Hayao Miyazaki has...

juUnior - Hopeless romantics of the world unite!



THAT is one hell of a point! Well spotted!

I do wonder if Ohkawa-sensei had TRC loosely in mind when she wrote CCS. Her perspective on the...

My inner cynic, antithesis of my inner fangirl who is too carried away by 225 induced warm fuzzies to comment, is laughing at us for getting so worked up about minor details and inconsistencies....

I just love their absolute refusal to accept an eternal separation! It's such a wonderful change from the fatalism of X and just what you want your favourite fictional couple to say to each other! ...

JuUnior - HEY!!! You're from POLAND!!! I was just there not too long ago. I lived there for 5 months and have just returned to New Zealand (where I live now) with a unfulfillable longing for Prince...

WHERE THE F*** IS 225??!! THE CLONES ARE TALKING 'ETERNAL SEPARATION' WHICH ABSOLUTELY SUCKS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!! I WILL BE PATIENT AS LONG AS I GENUINELY HAVE TO BE BUT THE MOMENT...

There are always exceptions. The question now is: how many exceptions before a rule is no longer a rule?

I'm with you on R!Sakura. I give her the benefit of the doubt and all (and have produced...

Here's my latest theory!

R!ealists = Those who read CCS first
C!Upporters = Those who read TRC first
Ensembleists = People over 20

Generally true (bearing in mind that there will be a...

Oh, do read X, it's excellent and you'll never look at acid Tokyo the same way again. I think that Kamui, Subaru, Fuuma, and Seishiro are coming back into TRC to continue and resolve the issues they...

I am absolutely DYING to see how R!Syaoran takes the news that the clones are his parents. I have this happy mental image of him spazzing out like Watanuki but I know he'll probably just look a bit...

LOL!LOL!LOL! You know you've taken C!upporting to far when. . .

I found the Easter/ressurection/219 coincidence absolutely hilarious as well. My posts around then have rather more religious...

Okay! Now that we're all finished chatting about Clamp in Paris I have a totally random topic I'd love to hear people's thoughts on and that's the music of TRC/xxxHolic. Not the music in the sense of...

My guess is we actually have NO idea what's going on in the tube even the second tme we see it and the next few chapters will explain that. If you think about it, this is the climax because the...

Yaoi - it's a girl thing!

I think we're in serious risk of incurring the Wrath of the Moderators. Either we should relocate this most satisfying discussion of ship Titanics to the general covo...

It's not a theory, more of an observation really. I'm still developing my ideas about what they symbolise.

While I'm here I, Tsubasaholic, by the power vested in me by force of personal opinion,...

We could always talk about the symbolism of sakura petals! Ever since broken glass was such an important symbol and C!Sakura cut off a sentence *cue perhaps the happiest scene in TRC* about why...

I assume in chapters to come we'll find out more about the tube scene and why it's so important. We might see Yuuko again!

Watching the videos really brings back memories. . . thanks for posting!

"Tired and afraid of the crowd" - I can fully understand that and admire their excellent public demeanour all the more for...

*has difficulty resolving the nice lady who smiles and says "arigato" a lot with the mad twisted genius who writes TRC*

Looks like some good solid speculation is going on here! I'm finding it a...

*high 5s back!* MOKONA TOOK A PICTURE OF YOU!!! THAT IS SO COOL!!! Isn't she lovely? Good on ya mate :D I'm so happy for you! Clamp are so awesome! Good people, brilliant manga, and the world is a...

C!Sakura did say that it wouldn't change the future if it was them being split but in this case they don't want to change the future because according to C!Sakura's dream that separation has to...

SilverSakura - Unless I am very much mistaken 7 is the age at which all the various Syaorans and Sakuras in TRC met (though there is a reasonable case for arguing that the clones were actually much...

My current theory is that the clones will split themselves for the sake of their son's happiness (please Clamp no) but they both seem to have shown up in the climax together just fine and are saying...
