THE END OF AN ERA





CLAMP. I just. You've just outdone yourself in trolling your fanbase!

Man, I feel sorry for the my friends who still liked this series, but.

I can't stop laughing. Oh my stars, this ending was just the perfect slice of Schadenfreude pie, and it makes me feel vindicated for dropping this manga and dettaching from every character while I could. That was a very shitty non-ending, NGL.

I feel like eating popcorn.

Epic trololol pero alas, no fue un sueño de nadie. Igual fue una mierda de final con una mierda de twist.

La imagen lo resume. Watanuki vive eternamente en la tienda joven forever esperando a que Yuuko regrese (a pesar que está más muerta que el ajo). La gente sigue su vida, al punto que ahora es el bisnieto de Doumeki el que lo visita porque han pasado 100 años. Y nadie rompe el huevo que se supone que lo va a sacar de esa jaula y hacer que se olvide de Yuuko porque nadie ha tenido los cojones es omgcruel.

FOREVER ALOOOOONE.

*offers hugs* I felt like that when Rou started. Then I proceeded to replace my love with HOLiC with other smaller fandoms and I eventually healed. But it still hurts sometimes, especially my brain.

DON'T. Big waste of time and neurones.

Pst, by the way! Next month I might go on a trip to Madrid for a couple of days. Do you know of cool touristic places to visit? :o My mom and I have absolutely no idea so we have to plan our time well.

Those pictures made me laugh (and I needed that right now, sob) so thanks, haha. I don't know, I can't say that I had very high hopes for the ending but I'm still disappointed. Not so much with this specific chapter, but with Rou overall. I'd been hoping that it would redeem itself eventually, but in the end it was just showing us (in a very painful way) how Watanuki failed completely at doing what Yuuko tried to teach him. And Doumeki wasn't much better. Ah well, at least I don't have to be nervous about the ending anymore now, ahaha.

Glad I made you laugh :D

Since the news about the end came out, I figured that there was no way they could wrap up anything in one chapter. So well, I imagined it was going to be bad and disappointing and wanky in some way so it... kind of fulfill my non-expectations. And yeah, the only thing you can think of after it besides OH WOW, SUCH TROLLS is the thickness of those two. I feel bad for Yuuko, NGL. Her death made someone evil break the multiverses, someone good become a dumb boring hikikomori, and a family to babysit the second person until someone gets the balls to smash that egg on his forehead.

I don't think you need to read that much in any case, because it's been like three volumes of the same chapter more or less and you can skip most of Rou. But yeaaaaaah, don't recommend it.

Es malo que yo solamente leo CLAMP porque los mangas tienen ~*pretty art*~? Claro, no sé nada sobre xxxHolic, pero uh.... en mi experiencia, CLAMP = needlessly convoluted story.

Yo me metí en el fandom por eso! Leí un montón de series de ellas que me daban igual porque me gustaron 2 ó 3 manga suyos y tenían pretty art. Pero llegué un punto en la vida en que prefiero cosas que me hagan happy regardless del arte.

Y'know, I never would've guessed that TRC would end up having the more satisfactory ending.

[identity profile] rainmage.livejournal.com 2011-02-11 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not. As overcomplicated and twisty as it was, TRC was the series they enjoyed doing the most, so of course they'd work the most on an ending for it. Meanwhile there's a theory they were either sick of HOLiC or had a huge writer's block, because they kept dragging and dragging with zero pacing since Rou. If this is true, Ohkawa probably just threw whatever to get this over with, but open enough to keep Watanuki as their new Crossover Nexus Guy in their next mangas.
