No subbed version yet, but Shinsen has confirmed already that they’ll be doing it so maybe tomorrow or the day after we’ll have it done. I’ll do a review as well once I get the subbed version.

For now, I’ll feed you with some news:

The TV series barely started and they are already talking about DVDs releases.

The Volume 1 will come out on July 26th. A box illustrated by CLAMP and a “Start Book” will be given for the limited first print. The box can keep 4 DVDs cases and they say it’s gonna be a total of 8 DVDs, so we can expect a second box to be done as well. Too bad CLAMP won’t draw each DVD cover (like Chobits, CCS and AL), but at least we’ll have a box (hopefully 2), and boxes are always nice.

Each DVD will contain 3 episodes. The funny thing is that they also say that it’ll be a total of 24 episodes (3 episodes per DVD + 8 DVDs = 24, of course) INCLUDING 2 episodes that won’t be broadcasted. So that means the series is gonna be 22-episodes long? O.o Are those 2 episodes like those “all-in-one” ones of Chobits?

The staff of the 2nd episode has been announced:
Animation Director: Kaoru Agatsuma.
Episode Director: Makoto Baba.
Storyboard: Kaoru Agatsuma.

Sorry, Anime News Network has no profiles added for those guys, they must be pretty unknown.

The staff is different of the 1st episode, let’s see how those guys can handle it.

Btw, for those who haven’t seen the Raw of episode 1 yet, episode 2 named “Falsehood” is indeed about the lady who has the bad habit of lying, and the summary seems pretty faithful to the manga as well.

Hey you people ! Go get the 1st XXXHOLiC episode RIGHT NOW (RAW).

In the meantime, you can drool over those pics.
