The official site is open! Kind of, only XXXHOLiC’s one is actually open and there’s only the staff info and a pic. The pic is really good indeed, Yuuko looks absolutely amazing! She has the perfect blank/purple-esque skin tone and her hair is excellent! I hope she stays like this in the movie as well.
The Staff for XXXHOLiC is announced but since most of it is in jpg form, is rather hard to tell who will do what (please, if someone manage do get the names, I’d be happy to know ^_^).
Keiki Sakurai and Jun’ichi Fujisaki will be responsible for XXXHOLiC’s script (No Ohkawa *cries a river… a big river… cries an “Ohkawa” T-T*). They both are kind of beginners, specially Keiki Sakurai. Jun’ichi Fujisaki did the script for Stand Alone Complex. (Ah, don’t worry hiragizawa, the music won’t be the same one as Tsubasa XD).
The name will be “XXXHOLiC The Movie – A Dream in a Middle’s Summer Night”, or something like that, (Interesting o.o), and it’ll cross itself with Tsubasa’s movie.
As for Tsubasa, the script will be written by Midori Gotou and Jun’ichi Fujisaki. (No Ohkawa again T_T *cries a sea*) At least they’ve kept Jun’ichi Fujisaki in both movies, we can expect good crossovers ^^ Itsurou Kawasaki will direct the movie.
The name will be “Tsubasa Chronicle The Movie – The Princess of the Country of Birdcages”, or something like that.
The story resumes in: They land in another country, in this country there are humans and birds. They meet a Princess that has ran away from the King, who must be is a bad person, and Syaoran and co. decides to protect the princess and the citizens.
Both movies will are scheduled to open in August (which is way more soon then I had expected!), no specific date yet.
My opinion:
What made me saddest is the fact that Ohkawa is not doing the scripts. I’d be happy to know they’ve made some decisions but is not the same thing as writing the script -__- At least I hope the new charas and the clothes are designed by them *sigh*. I won’t say that I won’t like the movie, but not having Ohkawa on an ORIGINAL Story is half-way for my dislike. Oh well, let’s see. I know they are busy and everything but this is a far away decided project, it’s not like they decided it last week, so, they could make it quite well. It could also be Production IG’s fault since it’s their decision to call the original authors or not.
The story of Tsubasa looks a bit too Pokemon-esque, IMO. Although XXXHOLiC’s title looks intriguing. I hope they make good crossovers. I’m just a bit scared of the beginners script writers >.<
Thank you Sakura-chan for the help ! ^_^
