YES !!! Ohkawa is in the Staff for the XXXHOLiC Anime under the charge of “Series composition” (same as CCS and MKR). We can surely expect a VERY faithful anime adaptation, since everything will be approved by her ^_~ Not to mention that the chances of her writting scripts (and maybe songs too) are large. Here’s the whole staff:
XXXHOLiC – TV Series
Director: Tsutomu Mizushima
Series Composition: Michiko Yokote and Ageha Ohkawa
Character Design: Kise Kazuchika
Accessory Designs: Minoru Ueda
Director of Art: Kogura Hiroaki
Color Settings: Hirose Idumi
Director of Photography: Yasuhira Konishi
Music Director: Kazuhiro Wakabayashi
Editing: Taeko Hamautsu
Animation Production: Production I.G
We can also expect the anime to be very like the movie adaptation, since the staff is pretty much the same (Director, Chara Designer, Accessory Designer, Music Director, Editing among others).
I’m VERY glad already ! Just to know Ohkawa is in it makes me love this anime without even seeing it xD
CLAMP-NET states that the DVDs for both movies of XXXHOLiC and Tsubasa will come out on February 25th, 2006.
The price is still undecided… and it seems that both movies will be sold separated (I mean, one DVD for XXXHOLiC and another one for Tsubasa, unlike the movies).
Scans provided by amazing Marissa-san (icephoenix), who always comes up with great scans, gives me the monthly Satsuki’s Column, which I love, and this time she did XXXHOLiC Movie Guide.
Thank you so much ! ^__^
Just click on the link and concentrate yourself on the guide, you should be able to see it: Room of Requirement. (XDDD)
The guide is pretty great, it has some new pics, the backgrounds, setteis, seiyuus and staff interviews and much more.
I think if there’s something everybody would love to see translated is Ohkawa’s interview. So, is anyone is kind enough to do it for us, we would really appreciate it ^__^
*gets off HBP reading*
The official trailer is up ! Yeah, thank gosh, finally a decent trailer !
Japan is certainly not Hollywood… how come the trailers are out with just one month left for the opening? Well, who cares, it’s here anyway.
I uploaded to my server because it’s really boring to watch it on the browser.
Download (High Quality QuickTime version)
Trailer looks very great indeed ! But I’m more pleased on the final scenes, yes! Production IG got a grip on themselves and realized how suck was that 2nd episode of Tsubasa and the link between the movies is exactly that scene ! YEY! It looks FAR from better ^___^
*gets on HBP reading*
let me know that ladydarkmoon was kind enough to scan chapter 83! Let’s all bow for her *bows*
Really nice color page, it’s prototype was that CLAMP-NET ALBUM pic they showed back on 2003, with some changes.
Yay for Yamasaki!
Yay for Syaoran been so friendly even if he doesn’t know that Ryuou!
And joukido warned me that the official movies site has been updated with some NICE backgrounds for XXXHOLiC’s movie and new pics (Watanuki and Doumeki look teh great!), also, on Tsubasa’s you can find some new screencaps ^^
And a big YAY for CLAMP for selling over 88 million copies of their works (comics, only), according to that site.
WOW 88 million !!! I always wanted to know that! Numbers are always great to know XDD And that’s only for the Japan sales, not counting the external translations, goodies, Videos and DVDs, magazines etc.
Does anyone has any doubt about CLAMP been rich? XDDD
The Official Sites for both XXXHOLiC and Tsubasa movies are now formally open, nothing like a good flash version.
Both have more information and some bigger versions of old pics. I’m looking forward to that “???” section on XXXHOLiC’s one.
The only thing that I did not like was the “simply” fact that XXXHOLiC’s movie will be 60 minutes long !!!! The hell, what kind of “movie” has 60 minutes?? Gosh, Japan and that stupid “90 minutes” thing (60 for holic + 30 for tsubasa).
On a quick note, take a look at this Kobato good !
Tsubasa Vol. 11 normal and deluxe edition will be released on August 17th, according to Kodansha’s site.
Also, a 劇場版 XXXHOLiC OFFICIAL FANBOOK (for the movie) will also be released on August 17th and it’ll cost 1.260 yens.
I found a better version of the movie’s story on Little Harlock Newslog:
Gekijoban XXXHOLiC – Manatsu no Yoru no Yume:
One day Yuuko receives an invitation by a mysterious addresser for the holding of an auction. A lot of hard edged collectors have been invited for this auction held at an old-fashioned European style building. However once Yuuko and the fellow invited collectors arrive the mysterious host of the auction doesn’t show up.
Moreover it seems that soon one after another the guests (the collectors) mysteriously disappear and even more strange events happen on the auction night.
What happens and who on earth actually is the host of this whole “party”?
Seems very, VERY interesting !
And about time, Young Magazine site has build up a section for the movie (click on the big banner), which is way better than the current official site. There are some bigger screencaps and character pics as well as some information, nothing much big, though.
Long time no see ! Last weeks of the semester are always like that ^^
The Official Site for XXXHOLiC and Tsubasa Movies has been a little updated with the stories for both movies. If someone could translate that, I’d appreciate ^__^
I wonder if the official release date is August 10th? (I mean, 2 months by now…) Sakura-chan told me the singles will be out on August 10th… seems that fits for me.
