So unexpected news indeed! Actually, I think that xxxHOLiC is suitable for a live-action TV Drama, and would be really promising if Ohkawa writes a few episode scripts (she must, it is the first one based on a CLAMP manga, after all). We’ll have to wait and see.

I remember a loooong time ago when XXXHOLiC was just starting, CLAMP members posted on their site which actors they would like to play the XXXHOLiC characters in a TV Drama.
Since then, I started to think that XXXHOLiC was suitable for a TV Drama. So is Drug & Drop/Gouhou Drug.
Yes, so unexpected! So exciting!!!

Yeah you are right, you have an amazing memory!!! I had forgotten about that post of CLAMP. Drug & Drop/Gouhou Drug is also suitable but first things first XD Anyway, I hope that they put the crossovers of xxxHOLiC/Gohou Drug on the TV Drama *_____* I’m really excited about this new project, though.

*whistles* Watanuki and Yuuko’s cast look okay, need to see them in action though.
Doumeki,, where is the cast for Doumeki?! Himawari? Kohane? Obaa-chan?! (Okay that’s not too important) I wonder if they’re going to show scene where Sakura and friends appear for the first time? I think if they want to make it a one-shot j-dorama. Oh my god, I can’t stop flailing. Oh my god, oh my god, xxxHolic has live action! THEY FRIGGIN’ HAVE LIVE ACTION~!
I sincerely hope they won’t destroy it or anything….
Are they going to make all those awesome Yuuko’s garb? Will they? I hope they will! But the production cost will skyrocketed so most likely no ;_; But I wish they do! I really wish they do! *o*
I’m sorry, I’m not making sense! I’ll come back some other time! Let me revel in the news and get it sink into my head properly first! OMG OMG OMG!!!

It’s still way to soon to find out the other cast members =P I’m happy we already have the names for the 2 main characters =)
I wouldn’t expect the Tsubasa links to be there… they might get cut. It would make sense to me and it’s totally fine by me. But I could be wrong 😉

Indeed! But as said, I would understand if they cut it because they want to make a whole xxxHolic only j-dorama. I’m happy enough they turn this into dorama!

*nods nods* If it’s got cut then it’s fine. I just hope they won’t change Mokona into some sort of plushie like sailor moon live action did -_-” That would be totally suck… Might as well cut Mokona too if they’re going to do that =/
The garb, I wish they do all those Yuuko’s awesome costumes! *o* *whimpers*

I remember Satsuki saying CLAMP thought Ai Tominaga would be a perfect Yuuko.
Judging by their look, as I’ve never seen them acting, I think the cast looks pretty good. I hope CLAMP are involved in the casting (looking forward to see Maru and Moro!! That’ll be interesting, at least to me)
AND, God, please… I know Mokona must be there, but don’t make it ANNOYING AS USUAL.

Really unexpected….plus, Anne (Yuko’s actress) happens to be the daugther of Ken Watanabe (from Inception and The Last Samurai). Wow…..

Though my first reaction might make you laugh, I thought: “nooo!! why japanese, it has to be a korean drama!!” XD
I watched tons of japanese dramas years back (I pretty much watched only that), but this past 2-3 years I’ve watched close to…none, I’m totally addicted to korean drama 😛 I’ll be looking back at a jap one again very soon it seems though 😉
I also think the actors feel spot on ^^ Thanks for the news!

Wow, what amazing news!! Can’t wait! Never thought I’d see the day where we would get a CLAMP J-drama… yay!
…. Although I am slightly worried about Tsugita Jun having so much involvement.. considering he wrote Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead and directed Horny House of Horror ._. Both of which are hilarious and grossly amusing in their own right, but.. erm.. so completely opposite from xxxHolic o_o And it looks like the majority of his films follow the same themes.. I certainly hope he isn’t planning to turn xxxHolic into a gore filled porn fest. But bah, what am I worried about, CLAMP will definitely keep everyone involved in check!
Loving all the great CLAMP news this week 😀

Hi ChibiYuuto! I was just wondering if you had heard of CLAMP’s recent hiatus? Here’s a link that talks all about it. Drug & Drop and GATE 7 have been affected. 😦 This is very sad news, I do hope whoever is sick is okay. (I am thinking it is either Mokona or Nekoi…)

Can’t agree more. I’ve to admit I never liked the Mokona’s much to begin with, but xxxHOLiC has such amazing potential as a drama series that I hope the producers don’t ruin the entire thing by keeping them there as poorly-integrated animation or something.

Maybe they can kinda adapt Mokona into a human body (Is not the first time I see something like that…) the question is… Are they gonna cut Tsubasa’s connection AGAIN?
I wish they gave Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC the ‘Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood’ treatment… T.T
