Ekkusu! Kanjite miro!
Just in case any of CLAMPers here isn't in that community: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miuzy scanned the covers and some pages of the X Infinity artbook. So pretty! And I can't afford it!
I think it's interesting the Zero cover has the Seals' symbol (the seven stars' contellation, I can't believe I forgot the name in both languages) and Kamui, while the Infinity cover has Fuuma and the menorah.
Is this a hint Dragons of Heaven and/or Fuuma might win, considering the meaning of infinite, opposed to the meaning of zero? Infinite time for Earth, zero hour for humanity? Or is it because Kamui's knowledge about things tends to be null while Fuuma knows everything about everyone? Nothingness vs. "everythingness"? Who knows. Well, yeah, apart from CLAMP.
I've always found interesting the fact they chose mathematical symbols for the X artbooks. I also found curious they chose to use that kind of zero. While it looks like the empty/void set symbol, it's not it. We computer scientists strike the 0 that way so we don't confuse it with the letter o, actually.
And in calculus, 1/0 = ∞ and 1/∞=0. Meanwhile, in the exponential function, numbers tend from 0 to ∞. Its range is (0, ∞+). Its opposite function, Neperian logarhythm, has the range (∞-, 0). I bet there are more examples, like limits, but I don't want to think about that. In short: they chose abstract numbers that bring undefinities to the yard.
Enough about maths now. And of course, several people had already noticed the juxtaposition of colors in Kamui and Fuuma's clothing. Black-red vs. white-blue. Again. They're really fond of this combination for opposite yet complementary characters these days, the CLAMP ladies.

En fin.. lo del nuevo zero es una putada, por que estos 2 se complementan.... aun asi nome gusta el 'new version' de la tapa de este zero... u_u;

A mí siempre me enseñaron en mi uni de Caracas a poner los ceros con su rayita. Acá no todos los profesores tienen ese hábito, lo que es molesto. Uf, detesto la confusión I vs. l.
Lo dices por el arte tsubasero? Sí, bueno, hemos llegado a un punto en que no sé si Kurogane se parece a Fuuma, o Fuuma se parece a Kurogane. A mí me choca más el estilo nuevo de Kamui que el estilo nuevo de Fuuma. No sé, hay algo que no acaba de cuadrar en sus rasgos.

yo sieeeeempre pongo la rayita, ademas es muy molona XD
Las tapas de los artbooks son MUY X-eras pero so nota que las hecho ahora, en la de Kamui, tiene algo 'raro' en los ojos... pero aun asi estan muy bien y yo no creo que sean muy al estilo de Tsubasa... y por logica Kurogane se parece a Fuuma, de hecho su padre se le parece aun mas... XD
Off topic.

Luego te paso link para que lo abuchees xDDD
muacs!
Y sobre lo de X, pues hago lo mismo que tu, me los descargo y solo compro si no lo consigo en la red, y es lo que me ha pasado con X.
Snif!

lo dice quien se va a gastar su dinero de navidad en dos tomos japoneses porque tienen su OTP en la portada; so hipócrita!.Pero hay cosas como las obras de Naoki Urasawa que me las leo por Internet porque me sale muy caro. Lo mismo con muchos shounen, como Yakitate!! Japan, aunque como lo licenciaron hace poco me va a salir comprarlo desde donde quedaron ~_~ Y de comic americano, me bajé por bit torrent todo The Sandman, porque todo lo de Neil Gaiman cuesta los dos ojos de la cara y el del culo. Y hay obras de las propias CLAMP que no las compro ni que me paguen, mientras que XXXHOLiC y Tsubasa van a la saca aunque vaya al día con las raws. Es cuestión de... no sé, la verdad O_o
Yo me pregunto si me compraría o no Bleach si lo sacan. O si lo compraría hasta que acabe el arc de Soul Society o algo así. Mucho depende en como salgan las cosas ahora, y si se dejan de las pendejadas de bankais pa' todos o no.
