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.
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. =)
Same main character, but different too
Both series have the same characters, just a different storyline.
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
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
magic & the same story line: a girl lost something and start searching for it.
a 'continuation' of CCS.
is like a parallel story with the same characters.
worth watching!
they are really simliar. the main charatersy are exactly alike in personality and appearance. they are both really romantic in a special kinda way :) but i think Syaoran is more "active" in the tsubasa chronicle series, and he shows more care about sakura too. I personally like Tsubasa chronicle a lot better :) there is also a second season tsubasa chronicle, if you watched tsubasa chronicle, you just HAVE TO see the second season and the moives ;)
They both are different plots but with some of the same characters that you can't help loving. I watched both of them and i can't help but saying that if you like one of them, you will definitely like the other.
the characters are the same people only from different worlds. So it's kinda cool.
Both have the same characters, but in Tsubasa Chronicle, sakura and syoaron are older. CCS is shoujo while TC is shounen
Same characters, still awaiting the romance that you wanted in CardCaptor Sakura. :D
Some of the main characters of this anime are similars to Tsubasa, I believe that you need to watch Cardcaptor Sakura first and later watch Tsubasa. ^^

Although it resembles a lot Kuroshitsuji it has a plot like Tsubasa. Memories scattered around and the need to find them, also the events that surround finding those memories. I like it, it's fun.
Similar type of soundtrack and travel between worlds
Similarities for both include:
- Main character tries to regain memories.
- Traveling to different worlds.
- Has Yuki Kajiura insert music.
: I really like the soundtracks in Tsubasa Chronicle and the first thing that make impression to me in Pandora Hearts was the music too (: Then I checked that both soundtracks are by the Japanese composer and music producer Yuki Kajiura.
::The second thing that is similar is the idea of searchingis for the lost memories of the main heroine, with the help of her friends, which she meets on her journey.
:::And maybe the tird thing that is similar are the characters, that looks bright, but in the reality have other, more darker sides of them /like Oz and Fye/
Both animes are awesome, so I highly recommend you to watch them ^^
Two characters,off searching for the memories of the female protagonist of the story.Under different circumstances,but the general objective is the same.Also,Break can seem like a sick minded Fai at times.
Both have music by my favorite anime composer. I feel like the main characters (Oz, and Sayoron) in both of these shows are similar. And although the plot is different they both have the same feel.
