Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle tv Review

CLAMP's Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li are back, but they're not the same characters we've come to know from Cardcaptor Sakura. This time, our pair is from the magical country of Clow, where Sakura is the beloved princess and Syaoran is a commoner working as an archeologist. He's tasked with exploring the ruins of Clow, which seem to hold magical power. Our two characters are destined for each other, but many perils lay in their path.

When visiting the ruins, Sakura is mesmerized and drawn into a strange gateway on the wall. Evil forces are at work and try to steal her away to another dimension. Syaoran prevents her from going but, in the process, scatters her feathers (representing her memories) across multiple worlds. With Sakura unconscious, Syoaran must travel to each world and recover Sakura's memories. Upon visiting the dimensional witch, Syaoran is given two traveling companions, each with their own reasons for going on a journey between worlds. They are also given Mokona, a magical creature that allows them to communicate and travel between worlds.

Their journey begins here and many dangers await them on the road ahead.

Story & Characters

Syaoran, a boy from the Clow Country, is an archeologist at that country. He has a childhoodfriend named Sakura, the princess of that Country. Actually, Syaoran isn't really borned at that country, a man named Fujitaka gives him the name and raised him. Becoming a childhood friends, Sakura has a certain feeling with Syaoran, while Syaoran doesn't really showed his feelings, even that he also has a certain feelings. But Sakura and Syaoran have some problem.... Sakura's brother at that country. he always gets in the way of Sakura and Syaoran.
One day, The archeologist found a wing shaped place at some place. Syaoran investigate the area, but then found Sakura bring him some lunch. Sakura found an uneasy feeling at the place and start to mumble something, then her wings started showed up and getting away. Yukito come and found sleeping sakura with Syaoran's worrying aboout her, Yukito then told him to find all the missing wings or else Sakura will die. Then he brings him to the Time witch.(or something like that,).
At the place of the time witch there are also Kurogane and Fye, who wants help with the witch. The witch can't fulfill it without a price. Fye give her a tatoo on his back, while Kurogane with his sword...... But Syaoran.. Gives her all of Sakura's memory of Him..........

Now then, can Syaoran collect all the wings ? and Could Sakura find her feelings again ? and then, how about Fye and Kurogane ???
TRC is an Crossover of Clamp series
i'll rate it 7

Rating: 7

Art

The one thing that is special from TRC.. is the art. The manga is draw beautifully at the magic. Some may think its not very good, but its actually has a special part in it. The anime too is drawed artfully.
TRC also drawed by the creator of Chobits. its because the Syaoran's hair and Sakura, its quite different with the original one. In the TRC, the hair drawed just like Chobit's way, it doesn't drawed with hairy style........
The character art is quite fit with the comedy at this series, however the magic....and fighting scene is the special part of the TRC that you shouldn't miss

Rating: 9

Sound

The OP of this Series is BLAZE, singed by Kinya. and the ED is Loop, singed by Sakamoto Maaya.
The OP is quite usual..... but the one that special is the ED, its singed beautifully.
The dubbed here sounds quite fit, Sakura's sound seems a little sad because losing her memory..
Syaoran too, even if its different with the original one, its fit with this Syaoran... (some of my friends said that the Seiyuu is the one that play Niwa at DN Angel).
The sound..... actually it isn't too special...
i'll rate it 7 because the ED

Rating: 7

Presentation

Anime Presentation :
Well.... i only seen 4 episode so far.... no.5 - 8. Its actually pretty good. but, the special art at the manga is missing.....However, the Seiyuu isn't that bad, and the ED is pretty well....
The anime, is also missing some fun for the Humor parts. But don't worry, this one is fun to watch ^^.
The story, The fighting scene is been added a little from the manga
there are some dramatic part that feels more great at the anime than the manga....
overall anime : 7
Manga Presentation :
The manga is drawn specially and artfully. However some of the stories like missing some parts. But the anime also has a pretty good Otaku with great humor. The manga is also crossover with the new clamp's series.... XXXHolic.
When the fighting part, even that its at a manga, it feels that we watched it near them......
this is one of things that i liked from the manga.
the manga has been released until 11.. i think..maybe a while again and its no 12.
the mystery starts getting darker and darker.....

And its also been a while since i've seen Magic/Romance manga that Clamp's released after
CCS. After that very long time, its make us have some kinda miss feeling for the series...
i'll rate it 8

Rating: 8

Final Verdict

7.6667 (good)

    It's nice to see other people writing reviews. However, I have a few constructive criticisms. Don't worry, it doesn't mean your review is bad, but rather a few points to help make your future reviews better.

    First, you need to be able to back up your rating. In your section on story, you have done nothing but provide a plot synopsis. Why did you think it deserved a 7? With a plot like that, it could easily have been given a 4 or 9. What made you decide on that particular number?

    Second, you don't need to mention what your rating is in the actual text. The drop down boxes are there for a reason. Don't use them to boost your chracter count ;)

    Third, elipses are a very specific type of punctuation. They do have a proper place in the written English language. The elipse is the "..." used to denote that there is text missing from the sentance (like when a passage is abridged) or a long pause. They should not be overly frequent in most prose.

    Happy writing!

    First off, I suggest that you watch the whole series before writing the review for it. Something might happen near the end where you might change your view of the series, you see. Also, your grammer is a slight bit off, and it would be preferable to refrain from ending the sentence with "......" But it's good that you were able to state good things about Tsubasa Chronicles and state your view with reasons.

    One suggestion: don't mention the manga in the Art section if you are reviewing for the TV version of Tsubasa Chronicles.
