Script for Tsubasa + XXXHOLiC media adaptation “almost done”

Hello everyone, how have you been? It’s been an entire week since my last post, that’s too long! But in my defense, it’s not my fault, I’ve been there all week but not the news, this month is lacking in news, it’s really boring xD

However, today I do have some great news.

In the most recent issue of Young Magazine, there’s a line with a CLAMP comment by the end of the magazine which reads:

「ツバサ」+「XXXHOLiC」のメディア化脚本でいっぱいいっぱいです。

Which can be translated as something as: The script for the media adaptation of Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC is almost done.

About a month ago I had posted that Ohkawa wrote in her Private Board that she was working on an anime script. Since she specified it to be the script of an “anime”, we can assume that this media adaptation really is an animation, and not a 3rd Drama CD.

This also debunks the idea that the XXXHOLiC game was supposed to be that media adaptation mentioned at the CLAMP in 3-D LAND DEBUT! event. (I knew it was too weird to be it, specially since there will be no game for Tsubasa, and the media adaptation was promised for both works).

Anyway, I was hoping that when the scans for XXXHOLiC were out we could see that announcement, but the chapter is already out, by sources that are not Alison, and the announcement is nowhere to be seen (because it was published on the final pages of the magazine, not within the chapter). I’m going to ask Alison and see if she can find such announcement and scan it for us.

EDIT: -san has kindly managed to provide a scan where we can see the sentence. It was published on the summary of Young Magazine and you can see the scan HERE.

All we know so far is that there’s a media adaptation/conversion in the works, and that CLAMP (Ageha Ohkawa) is writing the script for it. We know it’s an animation because Ohkawa said so herself, but we don’t know what kind of animation.

If you want my opinion, I’d say it’s OVAs. Ohkawa said in the Puff interview (the same where they said that 2/3 of Tsubasa’s is story already been told) that she would like to see anime versions of the Tokyo arc, for Tsubasa, and the Spider Lady arc, for XXXHOLiC, and what’s more, she said she would like to write the scripts herself! Looks like she made it xD

I know it’s not appropriated to just say it and not give any sources, I don’t have the interview quote here right now, but if anyone is interested I might search for it when I have some time. I remember that I had seen that quote when I was making the post about the interview highlights, but I wasn’t sure about it because it seemed too good to be true, as though my own wishes were changing it’s true meaning XDD So I left that one out. I deeply regret that now xD

I realized I’ve talked more than I intended to with this post xDDD I think the days that I spent quiet have accumulated and now I want to speak up xD

Before leaving, I do have a few important things to say:

1 – Thank you to Freakazoid for helping me translating the japanese sentence *bows*
2 – MY SERVER IS BACK FOR ME! I can see all my websites, pictures and files under my server! It’s been months since I didn’t have access to it. You have no idea how nice is to see your layout again xDDDDDD Which reminds me it’s time to change it, but I don’t have time for that now…
3 – The season finale of LOST airs TODAY! And I am EXCITED!! XD
