Manga and anime update!
Tsubasa Chronicle #2 - As I thought, it was a pretty boring episode, but after all they needed a bridge to the race's final episode. But still they're dragging the story as usual. Other bad points: Syaoran being the Highlander (he's so full of himself), and Tomoyo's seyuu. Yes, I love her when she sings, but she just can't do CCS!Tomoyo fangirling over Sakura, she's just wrong for the part. Good points: the animation is still better than in the first season, so let's pray it's going to last...
XXX-Holic #5 - I have mixed feelings about this. I'm loving this anime, and the little fox was uber-cute, but I didn't like how they changed the Birdcage storyline. And the birds from Clover just looked... skinny, but absolutely not mechanical, and that was really sad. I want my Suu's birds! Other than that, I'm madly in love with Watanuki's seyuu! ^^
About "manga", it's actually a "manhwa" update (I spent much money today, sob sob, but it was worth it):
Nabi - by Kim Yeon-Joo. It's a collection of short stories, set in a fantasy world, somewhere in Asia. Touching and beautiful, I love the way she tells the stories, going step by step backwards in the storyline, just like in
Memento (the movie). If you've seen it, you know what I mean. Some pics:
( ...bigger image under cut... )Arcana - by Lee So-Young, the same one who did
Model. This one reminds me of the
Dragonlance saga, and the atmosphere feels a bit like
RG Veda. I like the fact that nothing is what it seems, the art is teh-pretty, and the creatures and fantastic people look believable. Still two months till next volume (#6) comes out, though. :'(
Here you can find a few pics.
