I just finished watching episode 2 (The Boy's Right Eye), and here are my thoughts:

Episode #: 2

Yuck... yuck... yuck...
This really gave me the creeps. I knew what would come next, thanks to some friends who read the manga, but still... I seriously didn't think they'd show that. I thought they'd give us the "PG rated" version.

I was so used to seeing these characters act nicely... so I was really shocked at all that blood shed. Not even the bloodiest episode of Full Metal Alchemist made me shudder... but THIS did.

Poor Fay. Got his eye ripped (and eaten ). And for a few seconds there, when I watched Kurogane defend Fay, I got the feeling I was watching shounen-ai anime ). I'm already on the tube!syaroan's side!

As usual... Sakura is the ever-useless heroine. Seriously, all she does is sleep and stop bad people from being punished.

By the way... it really IS obvious that the "other" Syaoran spent the last decade or so in a tube! He totally forgot his conversational skills!
Kurogane: What's the crest on your chest?
Syaoran: It's from the people who killed your mother.

Tsk tsk Syaoran. Nice way to make a good first impression!

Overall impression: Great animation, awesome voice acting, incredible use of the songs (I missed hearing "Hear Our Prayer"!) and... I'm glad they inserted all that action. It was like... more than 8 manga chapters in there, or what? I liked this a lot! I'm just chicken and don't really like to see so much blood. lol

Well I disagree about the shuddering. FMA does that much more to me. Well I really dont have much more to add except that it is a great anime :)

is the ova worth watching, I finished the season of tsubasa chronicles and was like dissapointed because they won't doing more episodes and left it all open, and recently I saw they made this ova but don't know if I should watch it, besides I didn't really like the series, the plot was xtremely slow and in the end I didn't understand anything. does this ova explain anything?

[NoRemorse]

The reason why they left things open after the second season was because they thought that there was gonna be a 3rd season. You can tell that they were setting this thing up to be a very long series (introducing new characters, plots and sub-plots, etc). Only thing is, the old crew wasn't too keen on bloodshed. As you can see from the OVAs, the new cast decided to throw in a lot of blood/gore.

I was thrown off guard when I first saw it, but they're not afraid of blood (obviously) and they're staying on track instead of having those fillers thrown in. I personally would've liked another season, with this new cast (directors, producers, etc) :(

The OVA has a much darker feel than the anime, which I prefer actually because I love the manga. Ever since I first read about this arc I've been hoping it'd be animated.

Episode 1 and 2 thoughts:

I wasn't really impressed with the first episode, but in the second when the real Syaoran showed up, I was bouncing off the walls with happy. XD I loved the contrast between him and clone Syaoran, and how rough he was in dialogue. The action sequence was amazing, and Kamui with his vampire twin... I know this arc isn't everyone's taste, but as a fan of this part of the manga I am extremely impressed with the OVA. I'll be chomping at the bit until episode 3 comes out.

[NoRemorse]

Yea, sucks that we have to wait until March for the third and final part of the OVA to come out

Does anyone know if this is going to be the end of the animes for Tsubasa Chronicle?

[Kyjin]

Well there was never going to be more anime for Tsubasa. The OVA was a surprise in itself. o.O They might eventually pick it up after there is a definitive ending, but who knows. :/

[Uniflame]

That is so lame, I really hope there will be more anime for Tsubasa. It is one of my favorite shows...

Need OVA numba 3!
