• DVD:
Detailed pictures of the XXXHOLiC DVD Box were announced:
DVD Box.
DVD Case.
Inside DVD Case.
Artbook (with 80 illustrations by PRODUCTION I.G).
As you can see, no new illustration drawn by CLAMP (as opposed to what was first announced).
The first XXXHOLiC Box, containing episodes 1 to 12, will be released on August 25.
• Calendar:
A XXXHOLiC 2011 Desktop Calendar is scheduled to be released in October. Still no word whether it’ll feature illustrations by CLAMP or anime illustrations (this page says the genre is “anime”. So we’ll see…).

I know, right? To me that’s not a benefit at all xD

Benefit? Seem more like a torture. And from Production IG of all people! Why? Why would anyone want to buy their ugly ass uninspired CLAMP reject creations for HOLiC?!
I normally like stuff from IG like Death Note or Ghost in the Shell but what excuse did they have to turn HOLiC characters into toothpicks? And stick watermelons on a toothpick?

hahahaha CLAMP seems to approve their design XD Or maybe they are just being polite.
Oh, small correction, IG didn’t do Death Note, Madhouse did 😉

Kobato break breaks my heart (TAT) One month is a long wait, two is agony. I wish they moved it to some weekly magazine or to a different monthly one in which it could get between 20 and 40 pages a month.

Oh, and thank you for the info as always! *ungrateful OTL;;;;*

Oh you’re welcome dear =D (of course you’re not ungrateful! XD)
I know!! They should move to Shonen Ace… unless they are “fine” with 14 monthly pages.
But that pacing really sucks… 1 volume per year. X used to be like that, but it was understandable considering the art is harder to draw and the series was reaching its climax.

Even if there isn’t any art from CLAMP on it the Holic box still looks really pretty (wish that the US used the artbox designs, think that’s a licensing issue though).
Thanks for the news!

Oh yeah, it looks pretty neat! Japanese products are very well-made =)
And it’s very cheap, too!

Gah! Kobato release pace is already at rock bottom, and they dare take a break ^^; It’s really hard getting into this super slow series.
For holic, if it had been a manga calendar, I might have considered it as an option, but an anime one doesn’t really motivate me to spend on it 😛
Thanks for the news ^^

I’m not sure yet is an anime calendar… maybe that store catogorizes anything anime/manga-related as “anime”. We’ll see if Kodansha is the company manufacturing this.

I wonder if CLAMP is trying to get Holic to round a 20-volume end? Or is it going to go on into infinity…
LikeLike
It would be good if that was the case. Specially since Dark Horse said that the reason why they haven’t started Gate 7 yet is because of XXXHOLiC.
go into infinity! LOL!

Thank you for the updates!
I guess that means no big calendar from CLAMP this year again. I have all the previous xxxHOLIC/TRC ones, I’m missing them. I don’t really like desktop calendars.
