No, really, what?

Apparently, XXXHOLiC TV is a worse anime adaptation than Tsubasa Chronicle (link in Spanish). To that I say, WHAT?! dsfj,hjsdhfjksh

Why do I laugh my ass out when Lulu pwns people and then kills them at Code Gayass? I don't get it, I hated when Light/Raito Yagami did that. Ah, of course, it's because I watch this anime for the lulz and Mao was a batshit crazy insane whore anyway. LOLWTF chainsaw.

I think the Mao+monitor bickering could've been predicted by Lulu in a simpler way:

Mao: CC IS MINE. UR WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!1!!one

Lelouch (video): Nu-huh! That's not what she said last night! >)

I swear. Same effect, less megabytes of video streaming.

CC, don't deny your love for your boyfriend, the pizza delivery guy~~~~ you kept clutching to the Cheese-kun plushie for comfort~~~

ETA: Yay, last Harry Potter book -and the advent of the Wankapocalypse coming with it- on July 21st.

I ran your link through babelfish.

Seems like the only reasons they say that about HOLiC is because of the animation and lack of crossover. I like HOLiC's stories though. As for Tsubasa, I stopped watching when they screwed over the storyline which was after Record. Not that it didn't make me frustrated over the sheer amount of useless canon-breaking fillers it has.

Code Geass is becoming a little too much of Death Note. Did they try to improve ratings by using nudity? XD Although it makes me want to buy pizza hut. >_>

I know I wanked over the lack of Clow in HOLiC TV, but really. The point of the series, the soul of it, it's still there in the anime. You recognize the stories, and the fillers and artistic licenses don't make me want to kick puppies. Now, Crapnicle...

I was telling them that if they wanted to bash HOLiC TV, they should use the irregular animation and the character design, not the lack of pwetty Fay-sama and Syao-kun. Blagh.

Oh, there's nudity. (And taking showers. And masturbation -lesbian masturbation!) This episode had gratuitous boobies by minor character, so they didn't lose their touch. Fanservice be damned, I still crack up with Lelouch's emo shower/bathtub scene XDDDDDDD

I thought I didn't ship anything in Code Geass but I can't believe I didn't see the possibilities of CC/Pizza Delivery Guy. XD

And yay last Harry Potter book. I can't wait for the book and the wank!

I don't really ship in CG because I can't take anything seriously enough although I find Zero/Kallen (ZERO, not Lelouch, I'm that weird) kinda hot, but in a chat with [livejournal.com profile] hamsterfactor I decided Delivery Guy and CC are MEANT 2 B!!! Their love is so shameless advertising!

I kept watching Holic TV...TRC I stopped after season one.

Anyways the last HP book is indeed going to lead to some kind of apocalypse...what great fireworks THOSE will be.

Same here, although I watched certain TC episodes for TWS.

The internet will be covered with it, I tell you. If the sixth book was big, the last one (the last canon evah) must be devastating.

XD Silly color fonts.

It's a poll (ticky box poll, to make it worse) about which adaptation is worse, Tsubasa's or XXXHOLiC's. The latter is winning, even though Tsubasa Crapnicle is evil. But since that anime is kawaii and has crossovers (even more than the manga version, ugh), then it's supposed to be more 1337 or something.

Definitely! It's gonna be so much fun :D

... What? At the basest level, Holic was entertaining. TRC made me want to kill things. See a difference?

Well, there IS a scene in TC that wasn't exactly in the manga and entertained me (i.e, it had king Touya, shirtless). But yeah, that's pretty much it.

AND I CAN'T WAIT.

OH. THAT'S RIGHT. But dude... What a sad reward for having to suffer through the rest of it. I mean, at that point, we should have gotten pr0n. Or at least nekkid!Touya.

ME NEITHER. WE SHOULD LIKE. SELL TICKETS, OR REFRESHMENTS, OR SOMETHING.

Lucky you. *grumbles* I should just stop. I really should. But aldkfja;ldskf I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO FYE AND KUROGANE. And Touya and Yukito, but I doubt they'll remember those two.

I wonder how much they are! Maybe by then I can afford one!

Oh wait... It'll be after Anime Expo, I will have NO MONEY. D:

But, um, the anime didn't even have a closure that I know of. It was so bad they cancelled the last season.

Really? I hadn't heard about that; as far as I knew, the third season was set for release in April.

I've heard from several sources neither CLAMP or Bee Train ever mentioned third season again, even though they could. Therefore, they most likely cancelled that shit.

I think my sentiments on the xxxHolic TV vs the Tsubasa one have basically already been stated but still... WTF?

There's a huge gap betweeen something I'm just "eh it's okay" vs. "I have this urge to go to Japan and hurt the people behind this"

I had to stop watching the TRC anime after the second world because Sue!Sakura drove me insane ;_;

With xxxHolic, I just prefer the manga (because well original source generally pwnz the adaptations) but the anime is okay. It doesn't make me want to kill things XD;

With CG- Mao cracks me up on levels I doubt many other people are because of his seiyuu being Kusao Takeshi. And the fact he is such a Creed from Black Cat clone XD

although I find Zero/Kallen (ZERO, not Lelouch, I'm that weird) kinda hot

I second that XD

The HOLiC manga is awesomeness hard to adapt in 24 episodes, so I try to give them some slack even with the nightmares Mokona's tongue caused me T_T. But yeah, I don't get that rabid hate either. Wasn't all fandom supposed to focus on Bee Train hate anyway?

Sue!Sakura drove me insane ;_;
It got worse ;_________; She was possessed by spirits, she resurrected dead people... She was like Jesus, but glowing in pink and kawaii desu!

With Mao, I feel torn. He cracks me up and annoys me at the same time. That's one crazy motherfucka. And he had potential to be the random comedy-relief mad villain popping in and out, and yet he got shot to death after two episodes. That's LAME. Not as lame as Clovis' death, but almost.

[identity profile] haircurl.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's why I just keep up with the mangas. I find xxxholic and TRC manga more amusing than the animes themselves.

And with CG, oh yes, we need to see some CC/pizza delivery guy icons, rather than CC/cheese-kun icons. Shameless cannon advertising!

Yeah, definitely. Although, to be fair, CLAMP's weirdness is hard to animate uncut or not changed.

Now that I think about icons, I don't even remember if there's more than one pizza delivery guy o_o CC, you ARE a pimp after all.

I thought they advertised Pizza Hut, not cannons XPPPPP /pun.

Okay wtf? The Tsubasa anime is so bad. The Holic anime is just 'not as good as the manga.' It's not like it craps on the characters and adds some of the worst fillers EVAR.

Re HP: I am not sure if I'm more excited about the book or the wank. Book six wank gave me laughter for well... it still brings the laughs because it still happens.

Those fillers are just hideous, to the point of making me hate characters I like just because Bee Train liked them enough to repeat worlds OOC.

Yeah, book 7 wank is kinda the prolongation of current book 6 wank. Except multiplied by ten because there won't be more canon for the crazies to justify their conspiracy theories. Oh God, this is going to be great :D

well i don't undertand the peaple in th source i never visit that forum but the Hoolic adapatation is so much better than tsubasa in all ways the only missing thing it was the crossovers with tsubasa but Tsubasa anime is so bad that why do you want a in touch with...
the music in Hoolic is splendid i can't say nothing of 3 last episodes because i didn't watch it yet but i don't understand the bad comentary about Hoolic (obviusly the manga is better)

The ending was left open, so there was nothing that wrong with that.

I think that's the problem; these people thought no crossovers is OMG WRONG, so the anime must suck by default. I like the manga more as well, but have no horrible issue against the anime either.
