Tsubasa Crapnicle pondering
Okay, last spam today. I promise.
I was thinking. Now that XXXHOLiC TV has labeled Clow Reed as Lord Voldemort material (ie, he exists, but he must not be named), the "plot" has only been left to Bee Train and Tsubasa Crapnicle to develop in anime.
...That's so scary, man! T_T
But here's the thing. The first Clow Reed mention in TRC happened during Sharano. So, unless BT went batshit and slipped Clow or Bond Baddie Guy's name in any of the episodes I didn't watch, it should come around in two weeks. IF it comes around.
I don't know, I think it'll be confusing from a non-manga reader who's not familiar with CCS point of view. They'd have to explain about that ancestor of that bad guy who was allied with the Witch (formerly known as Weirdo) of Dimension, considering that part was already explained in HOLiC so they gave us only the biased Fei Wang summary. But it'll still be confusing, because if they show the ancestor's face, the anime-only fanbrats will go "...Sakura's dad?!"
And I think it'll be a miracle if their lightbulb turns on and decide to explain the Mokona origin at that moment. But that would be too much, and this is the people who interpreted Chii as Fye's posible love interest, so... no.
Anyway... there are three posibilities:
a) They give us a good explanation and include even the part explained in the HOLiC manga
b) They give us a limited explanation that'll confuse the viewers who aren't familiar with the REAL canon
c) ...They'll cut everything Clow because that's complicated. And hey, if they screw it up, they still can change the ending at will! :D
Ugh.

That's already happening, though. A lot of people are reading Tsubasa but not HOLiC, some people are reading HOLiC but not Tsubasa (although they seem to be fewer), and the fandom is such a mess... Sometimes I get annoyed at CLAMP for not explaining things properly in both canons. I'm tired of explaining that TRC!Mokona isn't an alter MKR!Mokona and that, no, I didn't make up the TRC references in my fics... ¬_¬

But anime viewers (especially the Western kids who don't touch mangas because they have no movement or annoying background music) have no idea. It was never really hinted, except the part of Yuuko being from XXXHOLiC and that was thanks to the movies.
In short, the ones who read the TRC manga and don't know Yuuko worked with Baddie Guy's ancestor to create Mokona have to blame themselves for not reading HOLiC volume 2. A lot of people know they truly should, but they don't. It's their fault here.
But anime followers will be confused without finding out they are. They'll just buy anything Bee Train tells them.

But I'm still annoyed at CLAMP's marketing device disguised as OMG Original Storytelling, as much as I love their work.

An example of misunderstood plot devices: I've got someone asking me who was that shadowy figure Fei Wan and Xing Huo were talking to during the part of the Dragonfly race in Piffle, and what was their scheme about... the funny thing is that he has read past the part of the manga in which we discover that Kyle is the culprit and everything about the race is revealed (and yes, he was talking about the manga here (!), so he's not an anime-only fanbrat
and we can suppose he's got more braincells than the rest).no subject
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, after seeing people ask stuff like "Who does Tomoyo like?", but still. Yay for reading comprehension.

I think I "sort of" ship Fye/Kuro to piss the Kuromoyos off. Both subfandoms are fucking annoying, but Kuromoyo as a romantic ship gives me those clenching E/T flashbacks...

.....Holy shit, that's... words fail me. What does he do, skip every piece of dialogue not said by Sakura or Syaoran or what?
(Also, I think there's a high chance not even BT executives or screenwriters haven't read XXXHOLiC or know they should. Who knows.)

Thank God my brothers don't watch the anime and only lend my manga. And they have me for filling them in with canon doubts. Sadly (or fortunately), they're not into fandoms.
