I really liked the OVA, the opening was kinda cool, with all the Magic/summon rings? I was trying to figure out which one was which based on the manga. ^^
The entire artwork and animation in OVA was very smooth and clean, particularly during Kamui and Kurogane's fight.


I think I heard someone said that they are Fei Wong and Syaoran's summon rings.
I Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!

Thanks tsubasalover! I needed to express my love in some manner xD

If I remember correctly, the first summon ring is Clow's (also CCS!Sakura's first ring, and the ring Xing Huo uses in this OAD). The second is Yuuko's (also used here). The third is Syaoran's from CCS. Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought it was a nice touch considering all the detail CLAMP has put into those rings, even if they probably only did it to save time!

KURO-PUU!! I LOVE YOU!!
That was just beautiful. The series doesn't even come close to the OVA. Now I am falling in love with Kamui...

http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=436
OR its character from 1992 CLAMP's manga "X" named "Kamui Shiro".

As much as i liked Lulu as a character, Lulu is not the original one. The discussions about Lulu's similarity to Kamui, Suzaku's similarity to Syaoran and Todo's similarity to Kurogane has been going around since the very start of Code Geass.


Both Lelouch and Kamui were designed by same persons(CLAMP quartet), so i guess its inevitable for them to share similar look.


P.S. And that black cape is his trademark and not Lulu's.

This OVA series is really satisfying! Man, out of 43 votes, 39 said they loved it!

I'm glad that there will now be answers to the mysteries of the TV series.

Is it true that if TR becomes successful, CLAMP will pursue S3?

Well not a season three. Anime series are ended they won't continue ever.

Butif these three OVA sells well we may get more OVA's for other manga worlds after Tokyo.

I agree with everyone that says the OVA is better than the series. The artwork is gorgeous, the sound quality is good... I could go on for a while naming everything good about it! The op and ed songs are lovely, too!

Mokona was drawn out of proportion in the anime. Hence, its size here is about the size as it is in the manga.

As someone who never watched the anime, I have to say this was too awesome. I might watch it again later, to make sure I get everything. But I personally think this exceeded all my expectations. It is a shame the normal animation turned out to be poor, but I'm looking forward to Production Clamp's vision to the rest of the series, if they continue on.

The art was the same as in the Movie I guess... way better than in the series and the detailed backgrounds!!
Did anyone else notice the awesome shots at the sky and clouds? Or the scenery Fai watched after their arrival, plus of course the littered corpses in the entrance hall....

I loved the fighting scenes too. The animation was so vivid and fluid, and Kuro-samas sword was SHINING! °_____° Loved it!

Kamui was just plain hot! Smooth, cool voice, awesome chara-design, just like in the manga and his scenes... I fell in love...

Fai was portrayed really authentic, Kuro was sooooooooo cool, Syaolans scenes a bit short, but sweet and the awakened one... wow, he seems way cooler than the sweet Syao we know.
Sakura... didn't make much of an appearance as of yet... oh well. She looked cute...
And Mokona ... was really cute... I like this size definitely better than that maximized version in the anime!

The music was beautiful as usual, thankfully not too much. During the second season I got the feeling I was watching a Disney-Fairytale...
Anyone noticed the Edo-Music when Kuro appeared to help Syao out? My favorite theme... *dreamy sigh*

Enough rambling... I'll just go and watch it a fifth time now...

I noticed the scenery Fai watched! It was SPOT ON!! I had to rewind several times because it was just so beautiful!! And the corpses of course.

Kamui reminds me a lot of LeLouch from Code Geass. Not in personality but in looks.

Yes! I noticed that too! I actually got goosebumps because Kurogane's song is actally one of favourites as well. It suited the scene so well and I think this would be the first Tsubasa/Tokyo episode where they didnt play, "A Song of Storm and Fire"!! Its waaaay over done!! But Kuro-Pii did look rather attractive fighting Kamui.

Cant get enough of it!!

Much Love,
Chii xoxo

P.S. The Boy's Right Eye, is what I am looking forward to most.

At the end of 42, when Fai whistles to hold off the guards(the library scene after they steal the feather) and mokona transports them, they actually end up in Tokyo. EP1 of Tokyo revelations go right after ep 42


That explains Syaoran's thinking on how he can't remember anything after Guardian smashed him - that happened just few minutes ago in Library.
And same with Kurogane - he is questioning Fai about the whistling in Library.


Episodes 43-53 won't happen. They are, like, erased from timeline, as they did not originally exist in plot.

Second episode of Tokyo Revelations comes out January 17, 2008.


P.S. Yea, the blood is normal stuff. TV series were censored alot, and there won't be any censorship in Tokyo Revelations.

Fai gave you detailed information, but I thought I'd add that this all comes from the manga Tsubasa RESERVoir Chronicles, and if you wanted to read it, we'd all highly recommend it!! If you enjoyed the anime, I can promise, the manga is 100x - if not more - better.

I agree that Syaoran looks slightly different - more serious and mature, perhaps?

But I absolutely loved the fighting between Kamui and Kurogane. The fight was well-animated, and I loved the swaying and swirling motions of Kamui's cape. His motions were also gracefully captured. (Kamui sorta reminded me of Lelouch too).

After watching the first eps, I have high expectations for TCTR. It got me absorbed into the show, I felt like I was watching a movie!

Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations OVA episode 1 was great!~ xD

I would have to say that the opening song really set the mood. It was mysterious and calm yet had an underlying seriousness to it at the same time. I relished listening to it in the beginning.

As for the beginning of the episode, I really enjoyed~ The character designs were just too great. After watching Tsubasa Chronicle seasons 1&2, the animation for TCTR was just mindblowing!~ xD And it was noticed that not only did the characters look amazing, but the scenary as well :)
-- Did anyone else notice that the tower that was showed was a big factor in CardCaptor Sakura xP

Kurogane looked awesome in his suit and his sword just accented to that~ His fight scene with Kamui was really well done. I was glad to see some clear scenes for once and some actually nice fighting with blood~

And speaking of blood, it was refreshing to see Syaoron actually fighting and having blood on him. In the previous seasons it seemed that he got away with everything and usually came out with a little scratch or something. His character seems more mature and more suave and I really enjoy watching him :)

Fai~ His character was really amazing, I'm looking forward to learning more about his past. The scene where Kurogane confronted him was cool. Fai seems much more mysterious in TCTR.

Sakura looks really good as well! She actually looks like a girl/woman now :) And just by looking at her, she seems more assertive and more kick-butt than fragile [as she was portrayed in Tsubasa Chronicle]...

As for the new characters --> they're awesome!~ When I first saw Kamui, Lelouch popped into my mind - but that soon subsided. Kamui's whole character is just so interesting and mystifying, I want to learn more about him :)

And finally -- Syaoron's clone!
Yay~ Can't wait to find out more about the clone ^_^

Anyways, I should end my rant/babbling by saying that Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations surpassed my expectations and I truly loved the first episode xD

Well that was a VAST improvement over the anime - more action, more violence and blood, better character interaction and , of course, the improved animation you expect from an OVA.

So this is just after the world with the libraries and the end of season 2 never happened I guess. Finally, we get to see the other Syaoran and where he came from maybe? Also, that guy looked like Lelouch when they showed the flashback of him XD

This a great improvement from season 2. I loved it.

The art was amazing but still I kind of liked the one from the 1st season.

I liked the part where karagune and kamui fought and when Syoran awoke.

No and yes.


This comes AFTER the lecourt country storyline (with chapter 106 of manga being proper ending to that storyline).

These OVA come INSTEAD of the last 20 or so episodes.

I am very happy with this series so far. They're actually sticking right to the manga and the pacing/art/music...everything about it is great! It was surprisingly brutal, though. I know that's how it's supposed to be but I guess the second season trained me not to expect it. :p

I am loving it! They're sticking to the manga, and the artwork is gorgeous. In the manga sometimes the artwork got to be too detailed,sometimes I couldn't tell what exactly was happening. And the VA work in this is as excellent as always. :)

Ooooh~ So that's what happened to Lelouch! After he died C.C. just transported him to Acid Tokyo and he became Kamui! XD

Seriously though, did you SEE that flashback when Kamui first arrived. It SCREAMED Lulu. I know both character designs are done by Clamp, but i mean c'mon.

I stopped reading the manga at this point just so I could watch what's supposed to be the "turning point" with full colour and sound in a supposedly very good OVA.

The episode progressed quite neatly, continuing perfectly from where I left off (just when the group arrive in Tokyo), but in the last minutes, something happened. I'm not quite sure of what its meaning is, but I was left speechless and very intrigued!

I can't stop now.

I liked it, but I think I preferred the manga sequencing of the events and so on. Not even going to lie, Fai's voice kind of caught me off guard as well. I'm not really sure what I expected of him, but yeah.

The next episode should be the "good stuff".

Those episodes are fillers.

This ignores the whole "adaptation" and just adapts manga chapters covering tokyo arc which is where anime MAJORLY diverged, which is around episode ~42 at the end of library arc
