I am really happy with Hikaru and Fuu’s designs, they look close to the manga (including Hikaru’s hair color, as we had seen already in the first key visual), but I’m not sure about Umi’s face…
It seems the “old” logo is back. I wasn’t sure if they would keep the same iconic logo or if they would do a brand new one (it would have been a bad idea, in my opinion). So it’s great that the old logo is back, even if it has some minor changes. Also, I loved the fact that in this new key visual they are replicating CLAMP’s “whiteout” technique to make it more “glossy/shiny”. It definitely makes you think about the manga and I wonder if this will be applied to the actual anime as well (not sure if it might work).
I was also expecting to have some information about the staff but alas, not this time!
And we now know for a fact that the new project is indeed a TV anime, as it strongly suggested.

YES! We were spoiled by Kodansha today and the volume 2 cover of the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER has been announced as well!

So it is Oruha and Suu! Unfortunately Lan is out, but I like having Suu on both covers. They are both showing their full bodies as well. The art nouveau designs in the corners are a little different from vol. 1 as well.
I like Suu a little less, here. I’m not loving her face and she looks a little stiff, but I LOVE Oruha here!!!! She’s not exactly how she’s usually drawn but it looks GOOD! And beautiful, as she is!
As a reminder, the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER will be based on the 2-volumes edition released in 2008, therefore the two volumes will compile the whole series, originally released in 4 volumes.
CLOVER vol.1 will come out on November 13th and vol. 2 on December 12th.
Animate has shared this promotional image on its X account where we can see a new art of XXXHOLiC Rei, which will probably be used as either the regular or Blu-ray Special Edition of volume 5.
WOW! It actually looks great? I love the style here! Suu looks great! I like Kazuhiko too although the style difference can be noticed more with him.
The cover layout is different too with the bottom half of Kazuhiko’s body unseen (a bit like the Magic Knight Rayearth covers). I wonder if volume 2 will follow a similar pattern. And who is it going to be in the cover of volume 2? Oruha and Lan?
