Kodansha says that a “TV ANIMATION ×××HOLiC EXTRA OFFICIAL GUIDE” (the japanese and their exaggerations, it’s “EXTRA” official guide XD) is scheduled to be released on May 17th, costing 1.260 yens. I’ll be hoping for an interview with Ohkawa-sensei and staff.
The 9th tank of XXXHOLiC isn’t on the list so we can expect a double release on June along with Tsubasa’s 15th tank.
The Official Site put up the covers for the singles of XXXHOLiC here.
The OP Theme Single, “19 Sai”, is scheduled to be released on April 26th. There’s going to be a special edition with cover by Production IG, among the extras in that edition are an exclusive computer wallpaper and a promotional footage of the anime (around 1 minute).
Yuuko is nice on P IG’s cover, but the design of Shikao’s cover is just oh-so-very-nice *-*
Among the 3 tracks of that single is a remix of Sanagi.
As for the ED Single, “Reason”, is scheduled to be released on May 31st, pretty far. The 1st edition will include a cover by P IG too.
Freshly taken from CLAMP-NET:
Opening Theme: “19才” (19 Years Old)
Lyrics by: Suga Shikao
Music by: Suga Shikao
Singer: Suga Shikao
(This guy is really amazing, he does everything by himself !) I could not be happier with this. I loved Sanagi really badly so I’m very looking forward to this one (which has an interesting name). This song, differently than Sanagi, is brand new.
Ending Theme: “Reason”
Lyrics by: Takayama Naoko (Fonogenico)
Music by: Kawaguchi Masaharu (Fonogenico)
Singer: Fonogenico.
Official website for the group. And you can listen to a sample of their song here (it doesn’t necessarily mean XXXHOLiC’s song will sound like that, obviously).
The Anime of XXXHOLiC will start on Thursday, April 6th. The airtime will be 1:25 AM (around the same time as Chobits was).
This means we’ll probably be getting the raws on Wednesday afternoon, but it depends on the raw providers and their will to upload episodes in the middle of the dawn. If that’s so, then every Wednesday will be a busy day, with all the manga chapters coming out and a new anime episode ^^
This information comes from Young Magazine of this next Monday, found in a japanese BBS by my friend Sakura-chan (Thank you ! ^o^)
Nothing about Tsubasa’s 2nd season yet. Episode 26 of the first season will be rebroadcasted on April 22nd, that would make the 2nd season to start on the week after that, which is April 29th. It seems too far away, though. So maybe they won’t air all of the 26 episodes.
On another subject, remember CLAMP No Lumiere? The scanlation group flowright, iamsocool12345 and I created almost a year ago? So, it’s not dead XD I know we haven’t been doing anything to it in a while because of many issues which don’t need to be exemplified at the moment. However, lack of updates doesn’t mean it’s closed. We are still here ^^
We’ll be starting a new small project today, the short comics from CLAMP No Kiseki. This will be a joint project with Be With You Scans.

TBS already has in their domain a soon-to-be site dedicated for XXXHOLiC, there’s still nothing on it apart from the logo image and opening date, the URL is simple as such:
(following Chobits’ logic: http://www.tbs.co.jp/chobits )
I was simply trying that URL, hopeless I must confess, because I never thought it would work, but yey it did ! XD
I’ll let you know once the site is fully open.

Somebody at the Yahoo Auctions posted a clear file with an image of the XXXHOLiC Anime !
