The official website of the XXXHOLiC Rou OAD updated with the information that Suga Shikao’s Kaza Nagi (from his 2004 album, TIME) will be used as the OAD Ending Theme.
You can check the song on YouTube:
The website also notes that the DVD will have “voice message files” with the main cast.
The OAD of XXXHOLiC Rou will be released on April 23, along with XXXHOLiC #17.
According to this blog, this week’s issue of Young Magazine is announcing that the upcoming new XXXHOLiC OAD will be released along with volume 17 in the Spring of 2010.
Thanks xsayukix for letting me know about this!
So the schedule goes as following:
December 22, 2009 – XXXHOLiC #16.
Spring 2010 – XXXHOLiC #17 with limited edition OAD.
Seems like XXXHOLiC will go on for a little longer. Personally I don’t like that, but oh well xD
I’m starting to think the series has been extended beyond CLAMP’s original plan due to its popularity.
Wait, am I still talking about CLAMP in Paris? I guess xD
A promise is a promise and I promised I would share the audio from CLAMP’s public conference at Japan Expo and here it is!
It was recorded by eolo, who was sitting 2 seats beside me, and transferring the file from his iPhone to the computer proved to be harder than we thought (which is why it took us this long). But he made it nevertheless and here it is! Thank you very much, Marco!
The file has 157 MB, the beginning has CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 2 (which was screened twice) and the ending has 3 minutes of absolutely no sound. I tried to edit the audio file and cut the beginning and ending but the output file ended up being even larger than the original file. Since I didn’t want to compromise its quality, I decided to share the original file, no editions.
The quality is great, it might get too loud whenever the audience cheers but well, it WAS loud even for us who were there, so xD Basically if you know french you’ll be able to understand all of it ^^
Enjoy it!
Here are two torrents (probably the same file though) to download the OAD of XXXHOLiC Shunmuki Part 2:
Pick only one of the two sources, no need to download both =)
Update: Direct download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=55SWGC55
Update 2: cardcaptorkiki has scans of XXXHOLiC #15 (including the cover, box, dvd, etc.) in here.
XXXHOLiC #15 has been officially released today in Japan and along with it, the limited edition that comes with the OAD of XXXHOLiC Shunmuki Part 2.
Today the official website of the Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC OADs updated to announce the production of a brand new OAD for XXXHOLiC.
The new installment will be released with the limited edition of XXXHOLiC #16. PRODUCTION I.G and Tsutomu Mizushima (director) will remain in the staff.
The release date is still undecided.
The obi strip that comes with XXXHOLiC #15, apart from announcing the OAD sequel, it reveals that the XXXHOLiC comics have sold so far over 10 million copies.
Double congratulations to XXXHOLiC!
More details about the OAD will be given in due course. Stay tuned!
Scans and translations at MangaHelpers.
Check out 20 screen-shots of XXXHOLiC Shunmuki Part 2 in the official website of Tsubasa & XXXHOLiC OAD here.
A little twist of events there, in the manga that scene with Ame Warashi and Zashiki Warashi happens before the events shown in the previous OAD, but glad to see the scene wasn’t cut (and we get to see more of Ame Warashi’s BLUE-like-it-should-be hair).
This is the final OAD of the Shunraiki/Shunmuki saga and will be on sale June 23, along with XXXHOLiC #15.
• CLAMP-NET.COM
As promised, CLAMP-NET.COM updated again with messages from the CLAMP members. They are mostly welcome messages congratulating the website’s renewal. Mokona mentioned that now it looks more like a mangaka website, which is just what I thought too xD
There are brand new SDs too!
So adorable XD
• Tsubasa & XXXHOLiC OADs
The official website for the Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC OADs has a new illustration on its homepage, check it out!
• Mangettes: Gate 7
Amazon.co.jp no longer lists Mangettes: Gate 7 on their website. This is getting a little weird xD
• CLAMP Day
Happy CLAMP Day to you! Happy birthday to all Sakuras out there, all Watanukis and clone Syaoran! Am I forgetting someone? xD
I used to think (based on rumors I heard several years ago) that CLAMP’s own birthday was on April 1st, but I was never completely sure of that given that there was no official info to base on. Now, with the new addition on CLAMP-NET.COM that traces their time-line, it’s possible to see that the first chapter of RG Veda was published in March, not April. They don’t give specific dates, though.
The thing is, I don’t think CLAMP themselves know the date xD However, it’s very clear that they love this date, April 1st, therefore, I consider it as a very CLAMPy day.
So belated or not,
Happy 20th Anniversary CLAMP! ^__^
• Thank you
Lastly, lastly! I forgot to mention it yesterday because I was so excited with CLAMP-NET.COM’s new layout, but I’ll say it now.
I would like to deeply thank everyone who voted or somehow gave me support on my cover at the CLAMP Fanbook contest! I won! So I want to share this victory to everybody to helped for it! Thank you all so much, specially to all of you who voted without knowing the cover was mine!
