You got just one thing wrong. Fei wong didn't want to map out dimensions, he wanted to make it so he wouldn't die. He was a paradox, a clone. So he created a loop where the originals would meet, be imprisoned, then be cloned, the clones would become the parents of one of them, be cast away and repeat. But clow and yuuko pulled a fast one on him. See, since the clones were taken from their dimension as adults, as was their child, the og syaoran, there were three people missing in that dimension. The child became watanuki, and his parents not existing were the trigger to end the loop and make all clones disappear when watanuki figured out there was a paradox. As such, they were all going to die, along w yuuko and fei wong. But syaoran and watanuki asked for a wish, their existence in exchange for something. Syaoran could live but never see Sakura for long, watanuki would live in the same limbo as yuuko was in, as the shopkeeper. It's an ending like a classic tragedy, where the characters sacrifice their wants and needs for the greater good- stoicism.
Hidden gems but was escalated too much with the paradox. Hope to have a CLAMP series of Original Clow Reed, Fei Wang Reed and Yuuko Ichihara in the same world when they were young. #Mindblown
I have never heard anyone compare the basic adventure synopsis of Tsubasa and Kingdom Hearts, but as an avid fan of both, this tracks. Convoluded, confusing storylines with good characters and emotional threads. Hook line and sinker for me.
@@luniers4629 whatever fits you most. The Shaoran pronunciation is just the Japanese katakana pronunciation (シャオラン) of the Chineseword Xiaolang (小狼). If you search the Japanese dictionary, 小 (little, small) has the nanori pronunciation of “shao” (シャオ), but the word 狼 (wolf) has only one pronunciation, ookami (おおかみ). His name is purely Chinese, just pronounced in the Japanese way in the manga and anime (which is typical for every foreign names used in Japan; in Japan you even need to translate your name into katakana for lots of paperwork if you are a foreigner).
there’s a sequel for TRC but it was just one arc in one dimension and it still didn’t fulfill what both Tsubasas have been looking for 😕 and xxxHolic’s sequel manga wasn’t also finished 😫 i guess the creators got caught in a loop and probably had the project on hiatus, or worse, abandoned 😭 i wish they’d fix it someday and probably with more of their franchise joining in for whatever reason- i mean shop owner Watanuki appears in 2-3 other CLAMP animes outside xxxHolic & TRC 🤷🏻♀️
CLAMP has confirmed that the next project after cardcaptor clear card, will be the continue of xxxholic REI. Meaning we might get tsubasa in 2022 or 2023.
I found about tsubasa chronicle after watching star wars kid compilation where “the song of storm and fire” was used i wanted to find out where did this music came from and i found tsubasa chronicle
Haha very funny review. Big fan of clamp here, but yes, this ending was very complicated to understand and does not really make sense. Still very good to me though.
I have a small bit of the manga and I think I finish the original anime. So I’m watching Tsubasa Tokyo revolution. For what I can tell there is only three parts or there is on the website I’m using. This has been a journey through multiple years of my life now and I very much would like to see the ending. There 2 Syaran, Fai lost a eye And is maybe a vampire now, they followed the clone Syaran to the next world. That’s where I’m at now Is there more in the anime ? Also not much ever happens to Sakura she is almost never in real danger until Tokyo revolution And they brutalized the hell out of her!! They stab her multiple times, slam her against the wall and acid burns. I hear this series exist because they wanted Sakura to earn her happy ending And meaning Cardcaptor Sakura being a kid show it was just given to her. When we get to Tokyo revolution it feels like clamp is releasing buildup frustration towards the character
Is it wrong for me to say that I heavily (and when I say heavily, I mean it) dislike Fai’s backstory. I think his past is actually my least fav in all of fiction. Like Tsubasa is my all time favourite manga. But Fai’s arc and backstory heavily disappointed me. When you first read the manga, the audience’s desire is to know about Fai’s backstory, motivation and mystery. Like when the manga begun the audience wants to see Kurogane redeem himself and have an arc. So when you set up a mystery or backstory, you have to execute it really, really well. And CLAMP (personally) failed at executing his past well. His past so ridiculously over the top that it borders on stupidity and it is so angsty that I stopped caring for Fai and it made it physically impossible for me to care. Like how tragic do you want it to be? Fai experiences two genocides, the King chops off his head in front of him, Ashura kills everyone, his mum suicides, he thought he killed his brother and he is used as a pawn, and he is stuck in a tower separated from his brother for God knows how long, dead bodies are also in the tower and he wants to die, also they are children. CLAMP should have thought that maybe it was too much. The over the top tragedy makes any of the story beats ineffective. I don’t feel sad reading Fai’s past. Like let’s compare it to a better backstory, most notably Kurogane’s backstory. Kurogane’s backstory is by far my favourite in the whole manga. I love his backstory to bits. Number 1 his parents are pretty well developed. You see how they interact both with each other and their son, you understand their personalities. So when they die it is much more effective and personal. With Fai’s past his twin has 0 established personality absolutely no reason for me to care for him, even if he dies. Number 2: tone. Kurogane’s past going from good to bad, instead of just constant badness does an amazing job building up the climax to his arc. Above all else it does a good job making me care about his family and himself. You don’t get any of this in Fai’s past-no slice of life establishing character moments. You somewhat care for Ashura but he is a scum bag in the end. It does a good job working as a breather. It makes Kurogane and his family seem human, especially with the slice of life aspects incorporated with it. Their situation isn’t contrived like Fai’s is. Like what did the Valerians do with twins before Fai and Yuui? Was it established how Valeria came to the conclusion that twins are cursed? It comes out of nowhere and isn’t foreshadowed in the slightest. Fai’s 2 curses were never foreshadowed in the slightest and it also caused whiplash to the audience. Kurogane’s past does an amazing job portraying his ideologies and his perception of strength. He knew true strength , both of his parents last words were in relation to protecting those that you love. Kurogane’s rampage doesn’t come out of nowhere, it is heavily built up he wants to become stronger for Suwa and his parents, but when they died he failed his promise that he made to his father that he will protect the people that he loves. He wanted to use strength to protect those that he cared for. Instead after they died he sought power, he sought to become the strongest disregarding other peoples life. He enjoyed it, he indulged in it. It does a much better job establishing Kurogane’s ideologies than Fai’s one does. Kurogane’s past is also foreshadowed in Outo when he notes that Oni eat people. The resolution of his arc is also very good, the artwork is the best. Him being swallowed by shadows and losing his identity. Him becoming a monster in the process, killing everything in his way. Tomoyo’s interference is amazing as she tells him “Let your mother rest”. This is amazingly effective, especially after she restrains him by causing his scar. It works because it allows the audience to feel a sense of resolve. If Kurogane’s past was constant sadness then I don’t think I would have cared as much, because the tone needs to be built and developed. The pacing and execution of Kurogane’s past is good because it is focused solely on the story within the book. Fai’s past presented via shards is ok, however the problem is that it is disjointed the audience is constantly flicking between the past and the present and you are expected to care about both simultaneously. Your focus is on the fight with Ashura whilst, Fai’s backstory appears in segments. It creates a heavy whiplash. Tone matters a lot as it makes you care for the characters until they experience their downfall. In order for audiences to experience sadness then the author should sprinkle some happiness. Fai’s past on the other hand made me feel absolutely nothing, it created a scenario where I had no reason to care. Like I don’t mind Fai as a character, I think he is a written in a heavily flawed manner but he has some merits. I still care for him to some extent. The build up to Kurogane’s works because it is a setup and it is executed wonderfully. There is absolutely no setup to Fai’s backstory you are just shoved with sadness within the beginning of his past, you do not get a breather. The “I want to die” scene is ineffective because it was shown twice in Infinity and Tokyo and it happens very early on in his past. Fai’s past lacks “The Let Your Mother Rest” scene, it lacks the resolve. Number 3: Fai is automatically mentally better in Nihon. His arc is done in an albeit rushed manner you don’t get the resolve nor the development to see how Fai came to the conclusion that his life mattered . The manga fails to slowly sprinkle in moments where Fai learns to care for himself and his personal well being. You see Kuro’s approach towards the others change you see his perspective on strength also change alongside it, his growth is sprinkled heavily throughout the manga he experiences the most growth out of the main cast. He is willing to lose strength (aka loose his arm for others, he also protected Sakura in Piffle), him loosing strength meant that he understood the meaning of true strength. His discussion with Tomoyo does an amazing job illustrating his arc, he became wiser, he is willing to acknowledge his faults, he regrets killing Ashura, his response towards murder changed. He doesn’t regret the loss of his arm and he understood that strength should be used to help others, physical strength doesn’t always protect others and sometimes losing strength can be a used to help others (Kuro had the best arc in all of fiction, he is a perfectly written character). His resolve and growth doesn’t come out of nowhere, it feels very natural. Fai desperately needs a scene resolving his arc in someway. Even after Kuro chopped off his own arm, Fai logically should still be not 100% ok but somehow he is doing a-ok. Fai has felt suicidal in his past and all throughout the manga he still had this mindset but he all of a sudden is better and is no longer suicidal in Nihon. It isn’t built up in the slightest, it comes out of nowhere and it is unexpected. They brushed his issues under the rug, it felt unearned and unnatural.

what I get from this video is people say they want a complex manga but don't really want a complex manga

Dude this 2021 and u reviewing this damn props bro I love this anime sm I loved syaoron
“And they were both born on April 1st, ‘cause this whole story is a joke” lol 😂
I love your final remarks on this review. It made me really laugh 😂
Yuuko is hot 🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥
Syaoran’s name is pronounced Shao-ran
more like chow-ran ( like the chow-chow dog breed ), American would still read what wrote as sha-o-ran. or he could just watch a vid where they talk.

Hopefully the story will tie into their next manga giving everything a solid resolution
Watunuki was also in blood-c as a dog/cat familiar character.

They’re from the same author and it’s still funny
Terrible review and his name is pronounced similar to chow ran
OMG 😍💋 💝💖❤️
