i just finished watching the new Rou OVA and rewatching Shunmaki OVA. wow, CLAMP never cease to amaze me. i adore the whole xxxHOLiC idea. every episode/story gives me the chills and they always tend to make sense...like you can apply somehow in your life. well, most are superstitions :P and because it's applicable to life, it gives you chills.

anyways, as you may or may not know, i love CLAMP. one of my inspirations. i love how they link Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHOLiC together. and they have the same characters from Card Captor Sakura and Chobits in Tsubasa Chronicle as well. it's just so cool seeing the characters reappear and they are linked together somehow. plus, CLAMP's art is something i always loved when i first laid my eyes on their work. the characters look very plain, yet they are so detailed at the same time. the detail lines and decorations is something CLAMP is well known for, most definitely. X/1999, i remember redrawing a scene from volume 9 or something, of Kamui with his black wings...that was the most painful thing ever! T ^ T especially since i was a total amateur and shading wasn't my thing...plus, using a led pencil didn't help.

every one of their characters (girls) have amazing detailed hair. Yuuko (xxxHOLiC) and Chi (Chobits) are some examples. anyways, enough ranting, i just love xxxHOLiC, can't get enough of it! also, the new Tsubasa Chronicle OVAs are AMAZING! SUPERB!! the good quality definitely helps it all. i still love the Tokyo Revalation OVA a lot...man, the costume design and the story and idea is soooooooooo good. <3>

CLAMP is :O
