The thing is that when the old dames finally finish up X, we'll get another anime/OVA. Really, that story is one reason why I don't buy CLAMP until it's over. Clover is the other one.

Their completed canon is awesome. That, I give them. But, there is just something about the need to buy the whole canon just to get every single reference that puts me off a little.

I can say that in Kobato all of the references (so far anyway) have been really subtle ones. In fact, Wish hasn't even been mentioned much, I'm still waiting on the latest chapter to see how it's supposed to be tied in.
And CLAMP did say at Japan Expo that they do want to finish X soon or something like that. Frankly I never got why people liked it and find it odd that you guys keep talking about it on a thread for something else... And ZOMG, I want that figurine! |

X is like the missing Holy Grail of CLAMP's canon. It is a good place to start for CLAMP newbies on understanding angst in the CLAMP multi-verse. And yes, it is also mentioned in Tsubasa.

I read a chapter of this, and it seemed like a cute story. I hope it's more like Chobits, though, and nothing like the mindscrew that apparently was Tsubasa [From what I've heard. I couldn't finish it]. Basically, I'm haunted by Tsubasa. |

But, even Chobits prompted a lot of deep thinking in me. So yeah, it's safer to say that most CLAMP series will leave you chewing on something at the end of it. I'm expecting Kobato to illuminate me on a thing or two, even as I take in the other friendly aspects.

Dangit, now you got me talking off topic! Anyway, part of the reason I like Kobato is because it has been one of their lighter series, it has serious stuff in it but it isn't dark. |

Well i could argue about your reasons for disliking X, though this isn't the thread for that, so we'll just leave it be.
Hoping we find out who the voice actors will be for this series soon. It's killing me waiting this long.
