————————-

First, I gotta say that I’m (more than) happy with not one, but 3 OVAs. After I saw the cover (by the way, thanks to everybody who told me about it!!) I started to suspect that it would be a series of OVA, and indeed proved to be true.

Then, all of them centering on Tokyo, the last one clearly marking the end of it, with Sakura’s dream, leaving the possibilities open for further OVAs, if you ask me (although Ohkawa suggested, on the comments section, that from now the animation will differ from the manga).

Ohkawa writing the scripts, as we already expected, makes it worth watching already, even if I haven’t seen a single screencap yet xD This is the first time she writes for a Tsubasa animation, it shall be interesting!

THANK GOD it’s not BeeTrain. Of course I wanted MADHOUSE, but they started with PRODUCTION IG so I guess they’ll stick with it until the very end. I’m not disappointed, they handled the Movie really really well, and it’s the same character designer, so.

What I didn’t expect was the release for November! So soon! I think CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 2 confused me (it took a whole year to finish that 7-minutes video-clip XD). I thought the running time of 25 minutes was too short, though.

I was also very glad to see the schedule for the next volumes! With that interval of only 2 months between one release and another, the story will progress much faster than I had expected.

More info as they come!
