Tsubasa RESERVoir Chronicle (TRC) - the anime - showed a lot of promise from its very first episode. However, because of the fact that TRC is aired during the children's hour in Japan, which limits exactly the kind of content they are allowed to put into this anime, as a result, have disappointed many viewers thinking they would be witnessing a story that was close to what was written in the manga by CLAMP. However, despite all of that, Tsubasa Chronicle still shapes up to be a relatively enjoying series, if you can get through a couple of the more slower arcs and horrendous fillers.
First of, in case you did not know, CLAMP decided to "recycle" a lot of its characters from Card Captor Sakura and other anime in this show. In essence, you will see a ton of familiar faces, but that's all they are - faces. For the most part they have completely different personalities and histories. I don't know if that's because they ran out of ideas for completely new characters or not, but that's just the way it is. But don't get me wrong, it's definitely not a bad thing.
The animation, as usual from CLAMP, is up to par with today's standards and what today's viewers expect from an anime. It's very crisp and clean and very colorful. The relationship between Sakura and Syaoran is something you could shed a tear witnessing the trials they go through, but once again, the slowness of it all prevents a continuous enjoyment of that.
Yuki Kaijura has once again put together a very beautiful soundtrack to go along with this anime. From the very first time the piece named "A song of storm and fire" is played with the anime, that alone will urge you to keep watching this anime. However, this anime does progress extremely slowly at times, especially after the first arc and the fillers (you wouldn't think there would be fillers in a 26-episode season, but there are) are extremely boring, possibly with the exception of one or two filler arcs.
Even with all of that, its the animation and music that keeps Tsubasa RESERVoir Chronicles - the anime - alive and what keeps its viewers, in my mind anyway. The story has the potential (well, it does if you read the manga) to be amazing, but the fillers and slow progress prevent it from doing so. If you want to know what happens, pick up the manga and start reading it. You won't be disappointed. The anime is something you have to be patient with. read more

I'll try to get straight to the point with this review. Before watching this series I had never read the manga nor had I ever seen anything about it beyond the wiki page for the show. I thought it looked decent so I began watching.
The anime had a very promising first episode and the characters seems well thought out and reasonably likable. I found it entertaining and continued onward.
It goes all downhill from there. The plot starts out strong and then begins failing very quickly. There is a massive amount of what I would claim is filler and you really cannot see much progression at all in the story throughout the entire 1st and 2nd series. (I just found out that the third was canceled >_<)
Basically you could skip episodes 10-47 ish and still know whats going on. The part that really got to me was how often they would play a song while slowly moving frames across the screen to take up time during an episode. I know what the characters faces look like and I don't need to see close ups of them doing nothing for 10 minutes every episode. They never even bothered to come up with new songs, just replayed them.
If you can sit through 52 episodes of sameness and you enjoy that feel free to watch. I have nothing against the characters or the idea behind the show. It just seems to me that they never went anywhere with it. Maybe the manga is better, I wouldn't know. Hope this review is helpful and not seen as a hate thread. read more

Same great characters from ccs but in a whole new anime.
can be said as a parent story of tsubasa chronicle. [b]Why[/b]? watch it untel the end of the series and you'll now. i won't give you a spoiler
they almost have the same characters and is sooo humorous!
Both are CLAMP anime and are full of cross over characters. If you've seen CCS first, you'll definitely enjoy Tsubasa Chronicle more. The other way around... Probably makes it a bit harder to recognize characters. The genres are a bit different though. CCS is magical girl anime whereas Tsubasa Chronicle is more the adventure type.
If you like Sakura, Syaoran and other characters from Clamp, watch Tsubasa Chronicle! It takes place in an alternate setting, complete different storyline, but the characters are still the same! Tsubasa Chronicle also introduces two new characters only for Tsubasa Chronicle, Fay/Fai and Kurogane. If you like Clamp, you'll like this one for real!
They both anime have the same characters; and are from CLAMP. It's very joyous to watch, and I also love how in Tsubasa Chronicle they travle to many diffrent places. =)
Both series have the same characters, just a different storyline.
Same main character, but different too
if you loved Cardcaptors than you will surely enjoy it since you find the same characters. I also recommend a LOT to those who simpy love the relationship between Sakura and Shaoran (like me ^^.. they are so cute together! )
Both Clamp animes, similar and same character names for the most part ;o

while the direct links in XXXHOlic have been eliminated, Tsubasa still has reference to XXXHolic itself. many things are brought to light by watching both.
Although XxXholic and Tsubasa Chronicles are different from each other both stories still have character connections meaning that the characters from the anime also make appearances in the other anime and vice versa. Both animes are from CLAMP.
you'll find the same character in those series. and the story is related. so if you don't watch both of them, you won't understand the next OVA/OAD of those anime.
both of them are made by CLAMP
The plot of xxxHoLic is not similar to Tsubasa chronicle. However, they share the shame character called Yuuko. In the manga, the plots of xxxHoLic and Tsubasa Chronicle interwine with one another. You'll find it so amazing that the items from xxxHoLic is often used to trade with the characters in Tsubasa Chronicle to help Syaoran and his group for the search of Sakura's feathers.
Alternate universe kind of feeling. Yuuko, Watanuki, Black Mokona and White Mokona are there too
The two are remotely related
Both the series are made by clamp and both interwine
