tsubasa resevoir chronicle
now this anime, tsubasa was released as a manga by CLAMP, one of their newer works.. a mix of comedy, shoujo, and shonen [think swords magic and adventure], and was recently aired as an anime in japan. So i've been watching whatever episodes that have been released by fansubs... and... well i do have a few things to say about, but seeing how it isn't done airing, i'm in no position to write a review. but moving on, the thing that struck me powerfully was the music. Tsubasa seems to take on a more serious tone than the manga, leaving out some funnier gags and putting in more internal monologue+good music. I have not yet figured out who did it, I'm going to go do that now.

[sometime later]
WOMG I'M RIGHT!! IT WAS YUKI KAJIURA! I prety much knew that as soon as I heard the distinctive gothic type singing that i noticed alot in .hack and whatnot. wewt, i'm just surprised i'm right ^_^ I must be getting to be a real anime nerd. moving on..... besides the music being awsome, the SFX and graphics are very nice, clean, and following the artistic style of the manga

what bugged me was when they were in the dimension of Koryo, which is basically midieval korea, they took out alot of cultural aspects that were int he manga. For example, the clothing in the manga was distinctly pre war korean, but in the anime they were just some funky dresses and stuff. and they took out the korean names, such as omoni [mother] and a'men osa [the police people] and replaced them with somethign

0.o dunno why, but ALSO, for some reason they spell [mybe it's the fansubbers? i saw this on official sites too] Fai D Flowright's name, as Fye.

but in the manga it was Fai.

I think Fai is cuter.

also some of the voices aren't so great, fai and syaraon's fit, but mokona don't sound cute enough!!!!
