Seinen xxxHolic by CLAMP

[smudge]

xxxHolic Kai lost music..

I have been listening to the Holic OST(s) and really enjoy them, when it struck me that one of my favourite pieces was not included. Now I'm obsessed with finding it and would really appreciate some help!

In Kai Ep 12, just before the closing title music rolls, when Doumeki Watanuki and Himawari-Chan are walking after 'the ordeal', Watanuki presents Tanpopo to Himawari-Chan, it is playing then. Nice piece.. can't find it

My kingdom, a broken arrow and a whole heap of balloons for this track..

Re: xxxHolic Manga Release Schedule

I can't remember. Are they projecting the series to end at the end of this year? I think I heard that somewhere, but I could be wrong. Because if they are, we probalby have what? Two tankobans left?

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

She will def be back in some shape, way or form. Most likely at the end of the series. I don't know if there's a term for this, but the story has reached the level where the main character has left the mother's nest, and is time for him to mature. I look forward to future readings since Wata is officially on his own.

Re: xxxHolic Manga Release Schedule

...no holic for a month? *cries*

...guess tsubasa needs to be resolved a bit before xxxholic can move on...

I thought that CLAMP was going to finish xxxholic and Tsubasa before they start publishing Mangettes, and that was going to be released in August 2009... I think, but that date keeps jumping too... So I was under the impression that holic was going to end by august... but that release schedule doesn't leave much room for many chapters, so maybe I was wrong.

But it's definitely ending this year... I don't think CLAMP's going to add another arc or anything.

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

I was thinking. XD

Tsubasa Spoilers here, in case someone only reads holic...

Spoiler

Since we know the Clow Reed of Tsubasa came from Cardcaptor Sakura-land, and he and Yuuko had a relationship with specifically each other (as in, not with the Clow/Yuuko counterpart of that world), then that would suggest that Yuuko is also from Cardcaptor Sakura world, right?

Wouldn't that mean that there is a Yuuko of Watanuki's xxxholic world somewhere? We might see her from that... maybe. Maybe not, if people live in approximately the same timeline as their other-dimension counterparts...

This is what happens when nothing seems to update...

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

errrm sry for the interruption....I've just discovered this after rereading it:

http://www.onemanga.com/xxxHolic/144/10/
and
http://www.onemanga.com/xxxHolic/154/05/
So i think most probably Yuko will return ^.^ !!!

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

That's really interesting... totally missed it, but then,

Spoiler

nothing can bring back the dead, once they're dead. And I think Yuuko is finally crossing the line from (between-life-and-death and truly-dead)

But then, dead people can be in the dream world, like Haruka, so there's another possibility.

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

When Yuuko said that if you wish strong enough, the wish will become reality, I thought she was referring to the wish that Clow made? Clow only wished that Yuuko would still be alive, and because he had a strong magic, that wish alone halted her time...

But I really do hope that Yuuko will return in some form...

I'm a fan of the new cover:

Re: The xxxHolic Mega Convo

Wow that cover looked awesome!! The colour looked great!!
I have to say that xxxholic is my all time favourite CLAMP work. Yuuko is like the manga version of me, (although i don't have magic powers and i'm not smart like she is!)lol but i definately have a pleasure in alcohol like she does!

Re: The xxxHolic Mega Convo

Watanuki01/04: I agree with you on that completely! xD

Yuuko is a wonderful character, as is Watanuki. They're both very different, yet the same at the same time; they compliment each other perfectly.

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

Hmm Clamp may be evil but i don't think they are evil enough to not allow Watanuki to met Yuuko by any means.

I personally think the fortune teller is in fact from Yuuko's time. This is clearly seen when they met in chapter 18 when yuuko says "its been a long time!" and greets her like a friend. More evidence is shown to support this in chapter 158 as she has Yuuko's wise words being treasured and phoning her in the so called "dream-world" in chapter 170. But i could be overlooking this so who really knows...

We must not forget the shop still exists- and so do the very treasures Yuuko once hold possession as she protects it as seen in chapter 167 as she talks to maru n moro n all.

So Clamp still needs to find the time to explain where Mokona has gone and how the sealing tool would allow Watanuki to regain his memories.
The purpose of those treasures and the existence of the shop overtime
We musn't forget Original Sakura's wand... and the deep conection Watanuki had with a replica very early in the story. BUT most importantly his watch where the visability of his parents photo being in it....i want to see it fully this time!!

I personally wish they can dwell on Yuuko/Clow relationship- which seems possible in the so called "dream-world" *_* and Yuuko glad to be on his side of the world.
I wonder how Clamp will approach chapter 183- will it wind to Yuuko or to Watanuki's apprentice or perhaps watanuki explaining things or something... A long wait for that *sigh* unless theres a Tsubasa crossover in the coming chapter.

(sorry for the long post ^^

Re: xxxHolic Manga Release Schedule

Its been stated that Tsubasa/Xxxholic will be finished this year. I don't think the stories can add another arc but more like concluding and clearing up things here n there.
I wonder if Xxxholic will get some form of Colour pages in the coming chapters o.o

Re: The xxxHolic Mega Convo

i completely agree that volume cover is spectacular- i wonder if volume 16 will be the last volume o.o...

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

Wow, I totally forgot all about the stuff that was in the shop... *starry eyed at all the possibilities*

But does the shop exist? Since when Watanuki steps into shop, he falls into a dimension that is outside time... was that where the shop was located?

Also, don't forget Doumeki's egg is still waiting to be used... and I'm pretty sure some Tsubasa crossover will occur soon... XD

True that- Its a bit hard for a deserted land to have a shop suddenly appear out of no-where i think Clamp needs to clear up why people forgot about Yuuko's existence as well for that matter... In the end it might be because of time/space being altered due to the journey undertaken by tsubasa gang.
Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to how that egg will be used... on that note we might know a bit more on Doumeki's grandfathers role in this as well...

Re: xxxHolic 182 Discussion/183 Predictions

Yuko died before Watanuki was born and after her frozen time began to move again, the people who had met her forgotted her, because she was already dead when they meeted. When her time began to move again she vainshed from their memories because she was dead and gone before that.
