Staff of episode 4 – Divination
Script: Michiko Yokote (wrote episode 1).
Storyboard: Naoyuki Kuzuya and Teisou Koyama.
Episode Director: Shinsuke Terasawa (looks pretty experienced).
Animation Director: Kenichi Ishimaru.
In case you didn’t watch the raw yet (get it here), the episode will be indeed about the fake fortuneteller, and the animation seems quite good.
Titles for episodes 5~7 are here !
5 – シリトリ – Word-Chain Game
That is the game Watanuki played with Mokona on the CLOVER birds arc… but, can they turn that small arc into a whole episode? O.o
6 – タンデキ – Indulgence
My bet is on the computerholic woman arc.
7 – アジサイ – Hydrangea
Pretty obvious this one, the arc with the dead girl under the Hydrangea, Ame Warashi probably showing up here (Yay).
Also, Ohkawa-sensei is not listed to write the scripts for the upcoming episodes up to 6.
Some final considerations, it seems that the series will be indeed composed by 22 episodes, plus the 2 episodes that will be only available on the DVDs. I’m not sure, however, if they’ll be important to the story or like the summary ones they made for Chobits.
Last but not least, the cover of the Reason single (out on May 31st) is at Fonogenico’s Official site. One interesting detail that you can notice right away is that the Yuuko and Watanuki are in the same position as the band’s members on the promotional pic at the site.

I’m completely annoyed they’re introducing Ame Warashi before Zashiki Warashi.

Dude, what are you talking about? They’ll have the wonderful Mokona to do stupid yet cute things during 20 minutes! What else can a fan ask? :DDDDDDDDDDD!!11!D
Me: PLOT, CONSISTENCY and NO stupid FILLERS!

So far I’m fine with the changes.
>They’ll have the wonderful Mokona to do stupid yet cute things during 20 minutes!
It’s not like I’m complaining about it… maybe it’s our first original episode (and thus, they’ll add the word-chain game), but yeah, like you said, please no stupid fillers ¬¬

#1 You are right about Watanuki& Yuuko and the group members
#2 BOTH OF THEM LOOK SO PRETTY!!! I WANT A BIGGER PICTURE!!!
#3 Apparently, besides the first minutes of the first episode the anime would not follow the chronology of the manga in any way…not to mention other relevant details like…the existence of a man named Clow.

It’s still a bit soon to judge… there’s still hope I’d say, but I can see why they would cut the CCS references(only people who know CCS would get the references)… it’s shame but we better be prepared for it.

It kinda takes things out of order too. It may not berelevant but Yuuko sent Watanuki off with the clover birds to a shop full of things with FWR’s bat mark, right after that incident with the girl with wings.
Connection? Not anymore!!!

I’m very curious for that episode… I love the whole concept of the game and why you can avoid the evil spirits, but I can’t see how they can make a WHOLE episode about it o.o” I hope it’ll be good, though.

We played that game in our bio prac, but we had to do it with animals. It’s very difficult to find an animal starting with U…
I dont see how they can make a whole ep out of it either but we shall see….

Regarding xxxHolic, they’re realling mixing up the manga. Let’s hope (once more) oure best. For the time being, the only things that have annoyed me a lot are the lack of crossover details and OMG-the-liar-had-to-die.

I was annoyed by the exact same things that you are, mainly.

Anyone notice the white Mokona chess pieces? That’s kind of a Tsubasa crossover. Plus they have the same VAs that did Yuko and Mokona and Watanuki in Tsubasa do them in the xxxHolic series. The crossovers will come. I’m pretty sure. Prod IG made the two movies and they linked together. It’s be strange if they didn’t here.

crossover?
when will we be able to see the crossover? when syaoran-tachi grants the wish and then we can see mokona portray the crossovers. if tsubasa shows the xxxHOLiC side, then why doesn’t xxxHOLiC show the tsubasa side?

22 episodes seems fair to Holic, But I can´t help to think that they must do something else, when the plot of the manga is more advanced…I think the manga will “explode” (XD) near the final stages, so that won´t be in the animation U.U
But still, maybe some OVA´s? ^^U That would be nice! ….am i asking for too much?! I think so! XDDDDD
