A user from japanese discussion boards 2ch received the XXXHOLiC Rou Short-OAD and reports that a new OAD for XXXHOLiC Rou, expected for the Spring of 2011, was announced in it.
Here is a screenshot from the announcement:
Update: The short-OAD is actually the Opening sequence of the new OAD featuring a song by Suga Shikao.
Update 2: Pictures from the short-OAD were posted on Yahoo Auctions:
The package says “Opening movie of the new OAD”.
Very mysterious O_O
And what about this short OAD? Do you already know what is going on there?

It is a short OAD that was offered to people who bought the three magazines that were part of the campaign:
Shonen Magazine with XXXHOLiC Rou oneshot
Magazine SPECIAL with Holitsuba oneshot
Bessatsu Shonen Magazine with the first chapter of XXXHOLiC.
It’s only 2~3 minutes long, we don’t know about its contents yet =/

It seems like they have just started sending out the Short-OADs. I’m pretty sure we will get info about it soon enough =) Not to mention it might get leaked on the web.

I-is it confirmed that the short OAD is Holic related? Booo, and here I was hoping with all my might that the short OAD would be Horitsuba related ;___; /dreams are shattered, brb angsting in corner.
Another full length xxxHolic OAD is good news though, keep those OADs coming CLAMP! XD

Only 2-3 min OAD?
I’ve been waiting for new OAD but… not this short D= *me thinks of random things CLAMP can put into the 3 mins video*
This one serve as a promo of the real OAD I suppose… *scratch head*

Thanks for the info ^^
More Holic it is then! I hope it means that, by then, there will actually be *something* to animate, because the manga’s plot has been pretty stagnant lately ^^;

But we’ll still be stuck with it for a while I’m afraid 😛 The new arc barely started ^^; That said, the more I think about it, the more I believe Clamp should have stuck with their first plan: to end TRC and Holic together.
And thanks for the extra pic from yahoo auction 😀

Me too … I don’t like the idea of CLAMP being controlled by their publishers. Being that commercial instead of faithful to the story…

My interest for Holic is close to rock bottom lately: I just realized today I still didn’t watch the subbed version of XXXHolic Rou ^^; (and yes, I *did* buy the holic17+DVD in japanese but didn’t watch it either, just stored it in my bookshelves…)
Still, I will definitely see it through to the end, hoping that once again, Clamp magic will impress me at the least expected time…hopefully? ^^;;;;

Thanks for the video, although that video was extremely dull. I’m kinda disappointed that there will be another OAD since the past ones have been underwhelming (although I did purchase them). Hopefully this one will finish off the story. I wonder what volume this will come with? My guess is Volume 20.

I couldn’t be less excited about this OAD. I’m really not looking forward to this or any other OAD that may come from XXXHOLiC…
I agree with you that this will probably come with volume 20, with volume 19 beginning next month, it will be completed way before Spring 2011.
