XD;; Also, I’ve never noticed that Rayearth!Mokona and Tsubasa!Mokona are different in design.

Okay, so in-depth…

Holic’s world was beautiful~ The cherry blossoms give it a happy and serene atmosphere, and Maru and Moro are adorable. Especially when they cuddle Yuuko. LMAO, but Mokona snuggling sulky!Watanuki takes the cake. Too cute. Love how Doumeki is included in it all, but why is Himawari not there? Ah well, the Mokonas visually conveying their desires to Yuuko~ かわいい!! But, lol, half of the manga is upside down. XD Also, Watanuki’s eye-color is strange. But whatever, props for everything else! Gah, I really wish Madhouse had done the Holic anime instead of Production I.G… All the characters just looked really ugly and awkward there. >_>

Anyway, next world is Cephiro~ Yay for Rayearth!! Twas my first CLAMP series XD I have much love for it and it’s great to see a vast improvement on the girls. They’re all so pretty there~ The original animation series really didn’t do them much justice. And Rayearth is awesome. XD His wings did look awkward in the last shot, but nicely done overall. I just wish we could have glimpsed a few more characters…

Then there’s Kobato XD Very pretty. We also get to see how fierce Ioryogi-san is~ Takes both Suppi-chan and Kero-chan to take him on. Lmao, loved how Kobato’s umbrella got burnt and they both fell. Ioryogi probably gave her a -1000000 for that. I really love Mokona’s clothing designs. Kobato, Sakura, and Yuuko’s clothing are always very beautiful.

XD Omg, there’s even a filler scene in this. I guess they didn’t have time to show Chun Hyang, Shirahime-Syo, or 20 Mensou so they squeeze them all in the background of this scene. Ah well. And poor Kohaku only gets to do scene change. XD

The first part of Chobits-verse is awesome. XD I always love Sumomo and Kotoko interactions. The Eskimo kiss–too cute, too cute. The Mokonas wearing replicas of Chii’s ears are cute, too. And yay for promoting fitness. Poor Freya feels like a third wheel though…

Ashura <33333 Nice transformation XD I love how Yasha was like “CUT” when Ashura did that sexy little move. I liked seeing all my favorite characters here, and especially loved the little bit of Ashura/Yasha interaction. I’m so in love with that pairing~ <33

Lawful Drug~!! *__* Jesus, I wish CLAMP would finish this series already… But regardless, very nice to see all the characters included in this. Kakei is very beautiful~ Saiga knitting!! LOL. And look!! Suki characters are here too. With the bears. XD The scene where Kazahaya and Rikuo are chasing the Mokonas, very amusing.

Tokyo Babylon-verse~ XD Cute seeing the twins. Hokuto is adorable and so lively as always. Lmao XD The scary!vet!Seishirou scene had me laughing, even if he does look a little off. He’s so disappointed when the Mokonas get away, too, lolol. The twins do look great though.

Angelic Layer~ One of the more so-so CLAMP works. Loved the Hikaru/Mokona fight. Movements fluid, very nice~

Clover-scenes. Very, very beautiful. I loved her wings. I also love how Kazuhiko’s kinda freaked out about everything, and Suu’s not XD Yay for seeing Ran, though it’s only his back. D: I want to see his face, damnit!!

X~~!! LOL at Mokona for stealing Kamui’s food and Kamui getting tearful and vengeful about it all–and then taking it out on clueless!evil!Fuuma. XDDD Yay for DoH and DoE~ Btw, nice seeing the CLAMP Detectives on the banners. And Duklyon gets a billboard, haha. Oh! And there pops in Miyuki-chan. CLAMP, please to be finishing X soooon!!

Cardcaptor! … Wait. If Sakura is using Clow’s staff and Clow’s cards… Why is it that it’s Sakura’s magic circle that appears? >> I’m confused, lol. Oh well, yay for the trio, though compared to the other characters, the animation for the Cardcaptor scenes look a little plain… I wonder why?

Tsubasa! XD Much better than the anime. Love their outfits. The outfits are from the calendar right? XD I dunno, not much to say about this scene except I liked it?

And it’s the end~

Not much to say about the ED, except cute Ioryogi-san~

Okay, first, the little shitty summary is completely off (okay, not completely… BUT DX). Especially this: while Syaoran has a doppelganger threatening to invade his mind. NO, MORON. I… I don’t even know. Honestly, I have no words to explain this.

And then the stupid review. Okay. Each graphic novel is a compilation of chapters, as Tsubasa is released weekly as chapters. And then the editor or whatever basically compiles enough chapters to reach 170-180 pages–the length of one graphic novel. MEANING, THE STORY ISN’T PLANNED BY VOLUME. It’s planned by chapter. Saying something like “Why is it that the good Tsubasa only seems to show up every other volume?” MAKES NO SENSE. ALSO. Until the series is done, saying something like this “we get a clump of ugly, dangling plot threads, people acting mysterious for no good reason, and a general lack of coherent storytelling” is the same as saying “OMG THIS MYSTERY NOVEL IS MYSTERIOUS FOR NO GOOD REASON” in the middle of the novel and not finishing the plot.

… HEY ANN REVIEWER. DO YOU GET MY POINT? Y/N? STFU.

Next, the Tokyo world of Tsubasa is NOT THE SAME AS THE TOKYO IN X. The characters may look alike, but X!Kamui is NOT TRC!Kamui. NOT NOT NOT. Also, fanservice? STFU. FANSERVICE IS WHAT YOU’RE BASICALLY DEMANDING OF THEM, IDIOT.

Also, as TRC is obviously a cross-dimensional tale (LIKE YOU STATED), comments like “there goes that crossover gimmick again” isn’t necessary. At all. How is something that’s so apart of the story a gimmick. ESPECIALLY SINCE HOLIC AND TRC ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER kwcbrfbwealfbljarweh. Having characters from TRC cross over to Holic is expected.

…. *SIGH*

“it’s fun to see X re-interpreted Tsubasa style, but the novelty gets old quickly.”

… I. I. God, you’re such a fucktard. The plot is complicated? Uh, yeah, so? Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s a mess of a plot. Just because there’s no clear direction that you can see, doesn’t mean it’s a mess. It’s NOT. Not all plots have to predictable, you know. God, I bet you’d call any of Gabriel Garcia-Marquez’s plots “a mess of a plot.”

I totally see why people say ANN is a place jammed pack with people who are too full of themselves.

This Love
by Tomi

Often, Haruhi wonders if Kyouya ever notices her. When the five other Host Club members crowd around her, cooing her cuteness in the school’s female uniform, does he look at her and think: Haruhi looks cute today? Or is she just facts and percentages to him, like everything else?

Out of the corner of her eye, she watches him watch Tamaki, who is gushing over her, and thinks: Oh.

Later, after she has escaped the club’s attentions, she sits in the school’s maze of a garden and ponders her situation. How did she come to be stuck in a triangle? Haruhi doesn’t think she is unique enough for it. Haruhi is the commoner girl; she’s quite normal, if a little too practical in her thinking. Love, she knows through her family, is an easy, simple thing: simply, she loves her parents, and she always will. She has studied the other type of love by observing her public schoolmates, and though she understands its concepts (“I’m in love with you”; “Me too”;“Will you go out with me?”; “Yes/No”), she thinks a love triangle might be out of her league. Now that she is experiencing it, love (to her surprise) is actually quite complicated.

Who will be the one to sacrifice? Someone ultimately gets hurt in a situation like this.

Unless there was another way…

“I like you,” she murmurs, testing out the words to the sky.

“Haruhi,” Tamaki says, approaching her. He’s always the first one of the lot to look for her; Kyouya, the last—though Kyouya is always the first to know where she is, so she supposes he doesn’t have to do any looking.

“Tamaki-senpai,” she answers.

“Haruhi,” he says, flustered and passionately cautious, “what you just said—” His eyes are wide with curiosity and worry, his hands flailing at his side.

“I like you,” she repeats simply, smiling faintly because Tamaki-senpai has always been very sweet to her. Tamaki is also a simple person, and suddenly, this love doesn’t seem so complicated anymore. Haruhi has her answer now. “But I think you should love Kyouya-senpai more.”

“Eh? Kyouya??” Tamaki blinks.

Haruhi nods patiently and smiles again, reaching her hand out towards him. He blinks at the unexpected gesture and, out of gentlemanly instinct, takes her hand.

“Haruhi,” he says again, lost.

“I love Kyouya-senpai,” she declares. She tightens her fingers around his. “You do, too,” she knows, “so let’s both love him. Together. Right now, he’s—”

“Conflicted,” Tamaki finishes, smiling as he finally understands, as she knew he would. Love is simple when it comes to Suou Tamaki. She thinks he’ll make it simple for all of them. He’s special like that.

“Yes,” he says, bubbly self again and pulling her against him. He tells her: “There are only two people in this world he can never beat: you and me.”

With him, she knows.

Break
by Tomomi

Life is a very bitter thing, Sakura decides when Itachi slams the hospital door in her face and continues sticking his tongue down her best friend’s throat, which is apparently in very good condition compared to his broken arm.

“Sex, now, doctor?” she hears Naruto ask, voice breathless.

She wants to die.

But only after she bashes the blond’s head in.

“NO SEX IN THE HOSPITAL!!” she wants to say, followed by “ESPECIALLY BETWEEN DOCTOR AND PATIENT!” capitalized vocally for maximum efficiency. Her inner-nurse screams “BE GENTLE WITH THAT ARM,” too, but they would ultimately take it the wrong way, she knows.

“Nurse,” Itachi says because he knows she is still standing there, listening in on them as they are about to fuck. While Sakura knows that she is only here because of her conflicted pride as a nurse and her worry for Naruto’s broken arm (but not his too active dick, which she wants to break in half), Itachi’s tone, as monotonous as it is, somehow weasels under her skin, trailing the accusing words: voyeur, pervert, and God knows that else.

“Bring us a condom,” he continues.

Sakura thinks she might faint due to anger, exasperation, embarrassment, and oh-if-only, so she doesn’t reply. What could she say anyway? She purses her lips, and actually thinks about it. “Yes, Doctor Itachi, I’ll hurry back with one, so you can have optimal protection as you fuck my best friend—and by the way, which brand would you prefer?” was a possible response.

In Hell.

She doesn’t answer, and it doesn’t matter because Naruto says, “Fuck condoms; we’re safe inside the hospital.” It doesn’t make sense at all, and Sakura wonders how Itachi can still be turned on by Naruto, dambass that he is. Judging by Naruto’s moans after, she concludes dryly, he’s turned on enough.

Maybe that’s just love for you, she allows, but only for a brief moment. She’s not desperate (or foolish) enough to believe it. Not from someone like Itachi. For Naruto’s sake, she wants to. Naruto is the gullible dreamer of the bunch, after all. It pains her as she wonders about the pieces that will be left of his big, stupid heart when this mess of a relationship is over.

She tries asking him about it later when she brings him his dinner.

“—meh en Ishtache?” he asks with his mouth disgustingly full. She slaps him on the head and he chokes. “Gah, Okay, okay, sorry!!” Then he’s silent as he thinks. Surprisingly, she doesn’t have to wait long for his answer. “We’re good together,” he says finally, shrugging. He adds, “Itachi’s really dumb sometimes, though. Give him time.”

“Time,” Sakura replies flatly, “for him to break your heart, you mean.”

Naruto looks at her, startled. “Break my heart?” he asks, laughing, “He’s not gonna break my heart, Sakura-chan. Sasuke-teme might break yours though.”

Before Sakura can voice her disbelief, the door opens and Itachi steps in. He ignores her completely and steps up to Naruto’s bed, and Naruto smiles at him.

“Hey, Itachi, you gonna break my heart?” Naruto teases, grinning impishly.

An elegant brow is raised, and Naruto laughs, his husky voice echoing, and Sakura feels a little ashamed because she’s been working with Itachi long enough to know that a raised brow equates stupid questions that don’t deserve answers.

She knows now the answer for this one is obvious enough and smiles.

-End

Naruto (c) Kishimoto.

So how much progress have I made then? Well, the story is 95% planned out and about maybe 75 -80% written on Word. When will it be done then? I don’t know, but I want it done soon. However, I also want it done right, and above all, I want to be satisfied with it.

For you people, I can only guarantee that it will be done. Better than nothing, right? *sigh*
