Hmmm, looks like im the only anime fan....Wow! Do I feel outa place right now lol.

I dunno, I spose I like the anime more because I love seeing all of my fav characters come to life with AWESOME japanese voices!! But then again, anime is filled with fillers.

The manga is pretty sweet as well!!!

Well, i liked the 1st season of the anime, but teh 2nd season went really downhill, so i would say the Manga and only the 1st season of the anime.

Unfortunately, the manga is way better than the anime... that one could have been done better. I loved the very first episode, but too many fillers were added in the second season, and the animation wasn't always great (Syaron never gave one decent moving kick, he was always static -__-). The OVA was done beautifully though, both in drawings and animation...Yayyy !!

I'd have to say the manga. Just because the anime (even if it followed the story to a tee) couldn't put in all the small things that make it great. Like when Mokona and Kurogane argue in the background.

I've also heard the anime is dumbed down (no offense)

Since season 2 I have preferred the manga a hell of a lot more.

OVA's were fantastic. I wish for them to make more!

I dunno, I like them both, but i really love the manga, so for me it's a vote for both but lening towards the manga, mainly because of all the filler in the anime.

What is with all the complaints of fillers. Tsubasa barley had any filler episodes. And at least they weren't all pointless. You take Naruto, Bleach which what half the series is comprised of fillers?! Including an entire episode dedicated to baking a cake!

I liked both if you are wondering. I think some fans are too nitpicky and are digging up excuses to hate it.

Mind you, even CLAMP disliked the anime seasons.
Not many fillers you say? The majority of second season were fillers.

Just because it's not as bad as that junk doesn't make it good. The anime is fairly good as long as it stays canon. The strays I'd say weren't at all that needed.

My thoughts exactly. The entire second season was filled with filler episodes, filler characters, and even filler romance. The second season is pretty much the entire reason CLAMP canceled "Tsubasa Chronicle"

Has anyone actually heard CLAMP say they disliked the series? Like an actual interview where they say "we hated it" as well as a potential link or reliable source? I'm begining to think CLAMP fans are saying that to please themselves. Tsubasa wasn't the only CLAMP show to take a fair share of liberties, yet no one else seems to think CLAMP disliked them. What makes Tsubasa really all that diffrent? Animation? B.S. I've compared the art heavily, the art is 80% alike to the manga. The story? yeah it's lighter than it's manga, big deal. As far as I know the reason season 3 was dropped infavor of doing OAVS because NHK and CLAMP couldn't make a deal over the much darker content, given that NHK is Japan's public media.

Creative diffrences? I have considered that. I have considered maybe CLAMP asked Mashimo to change writers and Mashimo left the project as a result (thus taking his company with him) but I don't know. Maybe he couldn't comitte to more OAV's, maybe with NHK given the boot, his studio was given the boot (assuming NHK contracted Bee Train) there are a million possiblities, and not a single fangirl has verified other than the termination with NHK.

So show me that CLAMP came out and said they disowned the series and I won't say another word. Won't change my mind but I won't compalin about the canon purity freaks.

So the manga is kinda better ^^

And Kurogane together with Mokona Rocks!

i also think the manga is superior to the anime :)
i saw the anime first, but after reading the manga realized it had a lot of fillers. it redeemed itself some through the OVAs, but i really didnt even come to love the series until it got darker and more complex.

Therefore, the MANGA is superior
