XXXHOLiC Anime Info

Less than a week for the opening and new information is starting to pop up.

The official site has been updated with information for the 1st episode.

Title: Hitsuzen
Director and Producer: Tsutomu Mizushima.
Supervisor: Izumi Hiroyo (was in charge of Key Animation on XXXHOLiC’s Movie).

Unfortunately, no words regarding who’s gonna write the script u.u

The summary of the episode seems quite faithful to the first chapters of the manga.

Also, Anime News Network has the name of 3 more episodes:

02 – Falsehood (Kyogen).
03 – Angel.
04 – Divination (Uranai).

Do you guys have any idea of what each of those episodes might deal with? O.o My bets are the most obvious ones xDDD “Falsehood” being for the lying girl arc and “Divination” for the fortunetelling arc. Can “Angel” deal with the computerholic woman? O.o

TRC 110 !

XXXHOLiC Anime Official Guide

Kodansha says that a “TV ANIMATION ×××HOLiC EXTRA OFFICIAL GUIDE” (the japanese and their exaggerations, it’s “EXTRA” official guide XD) is scheduled to be released on May 17th, costing 1.260 yens. I’ll be hoping for an interview with Ohkawa-sensei and staff.

The 9th tank of XXXHOLiC isn’t on the list so we can expect a double release on June along with Tsubasa’s 15th tank.

XXXHOLiC Single Covers

The Official Site put up the covers for the singles of XXXHOLiC here.

The OP Theme Single, “19 Sai”, is scheduled to be released on April 26th. There’s going to be a special edition with cover by Production IG, among the extras in that edition are an exclusive computer wallpaper and a promotional footage of the anime (around 1 minute).

Yuuko is nice on P IG’s cover, but the design of Shikao’s cover is just oh-so-very-nice *-*

Among the 3 tracks of that single is a remix of Sanagi.

As for the ED Single, “Reason”, is scheduled to be released on May 31st, pretty far. The 1st edition will include a cover by P IG too.

Playing around with Photoshop

Because CLAMP never did a color pic of Chitose… and because lately I’ve been adventuring myself in coloring with Photoshop.

CLAMP NEWS !

Mid-March Edition !

New layout !

March is X’s month. It was on March 24th that the first chapter came out and it was on that same day that X’s last chapter was published.

So, celebrating it’s 14 years of serialization and moaning over 3 years of it’s hiatus, I did this X layout (again). Apart from that, I’m also celebrating X’s appearance on Tsubasa ! Although I have to say that this layout was in stock way before I could possible imagine that the next world would be X’s world.

It started with a joke, I was only playing around with Photoshop and some new effects I had just learned, I could no way imagine it would turn out in a real layout. I was just going and going and I started to really like what I was doing.

The idea here was to create a VERY X-ish image (it’s totally based on the X drawings) with all the elements being “real” except for Kamui, the dragons and the feathers (I tried to search for real feathers but they looked awful). The Tokyo Tower is real, the Tokyo’s Governmental Building is real, the gears are real as well as everything else (I did the Big Dipper constellation and the paper with the pentagram by myself so you can consider them by being “real” too XD).

There are 3 tarot cards in it, The Sun, Judgement and The World, which are the 3 remaining X tarot cards.

This has got to be one of my favorites layouts (if not the one), I really really liked it. I loved everything in it, and it gave me a lot of work to make it.

I made a wallpaper version of it (1024×768) to those interested, I hope you like it.
