Tsubasa Chronicle



This anime was made by Clamp.The same people who made xxxHolic and Cardcaptors, so you already know this one is going to be pretty good. Its about a son of archaeologist named Syaoran who is good friends with the princess of the Kingdom of Clow, Sakura.You can already tell in the beginning that they have feelings for each other.Of course, the only thing standing in their way is the whole' a princess can not be with a commoner' dilemma and their own shyness.Neither of them can gather up the courage to tell the other how they feel.

But, unspoken feelings are going to be the least of their problems when an unknown group helps activate a long and dormant power within Sakura.Before, the ritual could be completed Syaoran interferes which in turn causes Sakura to lose her memories.Her memories take the form of feathers and float away.Also, without any memories she was, basically, a shell of her former self and didn't wake up and wouldn't wake up until they were returned to her.

Syaoran was then instructed to visit the Dimensional Witch Yuko who we obviously know from xxxHolic.But, when he gets there he finds out that he is not alone.A hot headed samurai and handsome sorcerer appear the same time he does.Coincidence I think not!Yuko obviously suggests that the three travel together for they have something to gain from traveling together.Kurogane, the samurai, wants to return to his home and continue to serve his princess but in order to do that he needs the power of the Black Mokona who will not take him home until he helps Syaoran in his journey.Also, Fai the handsome magician who never wants to return to his country after he sealed up his king and traveling with them would be a pretty good excuse for him to never come back.Now the trio travel through dimensions in hope of finding Sakura's lost memories.

This anime is filled with fantasy, romance, magic, mystery, comedy and lots of dangerous situations.I likes the little scenes where Fai tries to upset Kurogane and Mokona also likes to get in on the fun.I also liked all of the different worlds they went through.Each one was very unique in its own way.Also, why didn't Kurogane listen to Yuko's warning about some people in different worlds might look like people that you know.I don't think anything gets through his head.But, I did like the episode when Syaoran mistook the cook for his king and now the customers that come in now call him 'His Majesty'.

Watching this show really filled in some blanks for me when I started reading xxxHolic because he didn't really make sense to me at first when they first appeared and then appeared a couple of times more in the future.But, now that I've seen this, I now get what they were doing in xxxHolic.Tsubasa Chronicle is both an anime and a manga so you can enjoy both.If you like fantasy type animes with a lot of battles, romance and humor mixed into it then you'll really love this story a lot.

Thanks for Reading!
