Yui Makino, Sakura’s seiyuu in Tsubasa, posted an entry in her official blog stating that a press conference was recently held at Kodansha to promote the OADs release.
In that entry, she revealed that Tsubasa’s OAD will be called ツバサ春雷記 (Tsubasa Shunraiki), which can be translated as Tsubasa – Spring Thunder Chronicles. I should credit my friend Sakura-chan for translating the title.
With that sort of title, it’s hard to predict what is going to be about (which arc of the manga, I mean). I wonder also if that’s the full title or just a short version.
There’s a small picture of the Tsubasa cast along with producer Rui Kuroki.
We should expect some features in magazines about the OADs anytime soon, now that an official press conference has been held.
The first Tsubasa OAD will be released in March. More information as they come =)
And while I’m at it, completely unrelated, but here’s the cover of CLAMP’s artbook for Code Geass, taken from ladydarkmoon‘s scans of the latest Kobato. chapter:

Beautiful illustration, but hideous typography (in my opinion xD)
The artbook will be out December 5.

Oh, sorry Lelouch ♥ (I don’t like this typography neither >w It doesn’t give us a lot of informations :s
With only two OAD, that I guess will close the Tsubasa serie as the Holic OAD close the XXX Holic story, I don’t know which part of the story that remain will be developped…
(I want Fye’s past / Sakura in the word of dreams / etc, etc…).
I want to know >_<
So, as usual, thank you very much for all the informations you share with us ♥

-You remember the omake with them telling scary stories? Don’t ask me why, but the title made me think of it… XD It all begun with a thunderstorm, if I’m correct… Yet I think it couldn’t be very fitting for an OAD…
…Code Geass artbook cover reminds a little too much of X… XD

I have to disagree.. Okawa said that the OAD of Holic is supposed to connect Holic’s anime to Tsubasa’s story. there wouldn’t be any point of doing so if CLAMP didn’t want to continue Tsubasa’s story from Tokyo arc. therefore I say, let’s wait and see.

… something tell sme it’s the Nihon Arc, but a good chunk of me strongly opposes that.

And omg I can’t wait for that Code Geass artbook *o*

The cover looks gorgeous!!! I’m betting that hand down there must be Suzaku’s!!! It MUST be!! And I think I see a leg…
Hypothesis 1: Suzaku is lying on the floor on his back and Lelouch’s sword is pointing at him… He could be looking at with with angst written on his face or looking at Lelouch with love… Though I seriously prefer him to look at us… XDDD
Hypothesis 2: That could be C.C..
I rather not!! Plus the shape of the leg, (assuming that is a leg) doesn’t look like it belongs to a woman… And also, the SuzaLulu fanservice would be so off… T.T
Arghh… Exam pressure’s getting me… Been talking like that since I started my revision…

The title of the TRC OVA is indeed not too revealing ^^;
But considering that both series are coming to an end, and that those OVA are supposed to show an arc which got BOTH series very related/close to each other, I can only think it will very likely be The End of both series or, at least, what we’ve been seeing lately in the latest chapters, about Syao/Wata bond blablabla…
Spring: april first connection?
Thunder: for whatever reason, it makes me think of ‘Syaoran’ and his thunder attacks ^^ or will those be ‘thunderous’ OVA/revelations ? 😛

My thoughts exactly. It might be set in a country that we already seen in the manga, but it’s IMPOSSIBLE to animate everything after Tokyo in 2 episodes. So a lot of things will be cut and we’ll get an original ending.

Sorry, one more note. Looks like xxxHolic’s side will be called Shunmuki (Spring Dream Record – 春夢記) compared to Tsubasa’s Shunraiki. Staff and cast lists are present on the page, but the price for both are horrible at 3,700 yen (7,200 for each set!).

*giggles* I hope “春雷” turns out to be someone’s name instead because all I can think about is how the Chinese sometimes use the code name “Spring Thunder” for a quick wipe out of illegal activity. The Tsubasa gang busting on drug dealers is amusing though…;;
Though if it is being used as a connector for Holic then maybe it’s an insinuation we don’t get yet
