I truly like this series. I can't believe that years ago, I put it off just because of the art style. It was by great luck that preparing for Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE got me to watch this.

Truth be told though, this show taught me the meaning of CLAMP's "noodle people," but after watching a bunch of other shows, it just became another style. For the show itself, it has this strange air of dissonance that's hard to put into words, but that turned into its own unique charm. The best parts of the show for me were the lessons learned in the most poignant ways possible, brought about by dialogue and imagery that remind me of the Monogatari series, but through CLAMP fashion. And now with the last episode, as a sendoff, it's just a simple story about all the characters having fun and chilling. No big explosions, no dire situations. Just a kind and gentle sendoff.

Great stuff.

That was a great episode. The BGM towards the end was epic, wasn't it?

There's really nothing to complain about, it's as good as the first season. If there's anything, I wish there's a better way to introduce conflict.. in most cases, Yuko could've solved the issue immediately but decided to put Watanuki in danger by sending him instead, for no reason at all.. Some stories also take a very roundabout way to present and conclude itself, again, for no reason at all..

That was a good series and less supporting new characters to introduce. Atleast Watanuki has gotten his wish in the end, to be with everyone and not be alone i guess.

They ended on a good note... however...

When she mentioned granting Watanuki's wish, I thought that all of the people Watanuki helped were going to get together to take on a small part of the compensation required to get rid of Himawari's bad luck.

The compensation to get rid of Himawari's bad luck is a lifetime of despair. (Supposedly perhaps, the bad luck is turned onto only herself instead of others? Who knows).

But perhaps if everyone who is thankful to Watanuki takes on a little bit of that despair, spread out between everyone, it's not so bad.

I've been waiting for Tsubasa for all of these episodes, just like they appeared in Kobato.

Guess not ;x

----

Still a 10/10 for both seasons, for having been able to invoke some emotion from me.

WHERE'S TSUBASA?!

Holic's manga is awesome, and I hope the OVA will be any good.

Where's the manga story line?!
Really didn't feel like an ending to me.

A meh ending to a mediocre season. What was the point of this entire season? Not a single plot point that was made/resolved here couldn't have been done on season one.

I am glad I didn't wait two years way back 17 years ago for this season! I would have felt even more disappointed than I'm feeling right now!

This feels like a hard slap on the face on every fan of this show back then! Proving once again that CLAMP is nothing more than a bunch of hacks, overhyped mangakas. Thank the stars that their time in the spot light is over!

And at the time I'm writing this this season score is 8.20 lol what? Sometimes the weebos/okatus around here really, really need to touch grass.
