xxxHolic and Tsubasa Chronicles: The Movie
Hello, I've enjoyed Tsubasa Chronicles and am wondering if the movie is actually a part of the storyline. If it isn't I don't wanna waste getting it, but if it contributes than it would be worth checking out.

The xxxHOLiC movie was quite the show. The artwork was extremely stylish (which I enjoyed thoroughly; some of the scenes were amazing, and the ambience was appropriate throughout the duration of the film), and the musical score throughout the movie was produced very well.
I can't really convey how well this feature film was done very well, but it's definitely worth a watch for CLAMP and non-CLAMP fans alike. |

I don't believe the movie is part of the plot line at all, though I suppose if you really want, you can insert it anywhere in Tsubasa Chronicle where a joining episode didn't occur. IIRC it's not even done by the people who are doing the anime series.

Very nice movie. I was a bit hesitant to watch it due to relations with Tsubasa, but when I did watch it I really enjoyed it. Great animation, plot, and the humour didn't annoy me (and in some parts were even... funny?!). I will be buying this when it gets an R1 release.

Given the rather freaky, and disjointed atmosphere of xxxHolic, I thought the character designs were very appropriate. And it also gave Production I.G. some creative freedom on Watanuki's overreactive behavior (and let's not forget that the director of Guu and Dokuro-chan is involved which has overreactive male protagonists).

I really enjoyed the movie, didn't think i was gonna enjoy it as much as i did. The fact that the first 10 minutes of the movie has parts that was mentioned in the first chapter of manga, i found interesting.. so newcomers to the story wouldn't be to lost on whats going on.
I can really see people jumping at the art style. I remember a lot of people saying the same about when Tsubasa first started.. long legged characters & so on, though i believe it to be a style thats only suited for the type of story that xxxHolic gives off.. strange that i didn't notice it that much while watching the first season of Tsubasa. All and all it was a good watch, and brilliant music by Tsuneyoshi Saitou, glad i bought the ost when it was released.. though i'm a lil' buggered that Tsuneyoshi won't be doing the music for the anime that starts pretty soon. Hope the Tsubasa movie is as good, i've already seen the first series.. so the feeling of manga to anime won't feel as good.

I am not complaining about the art style. If you look carefully the art of the chars is pretty bad compared to the xxxholic manga.

i didnt like the animation too much of xxx holic, could be because it was not too well quality when i watched it but at certain points things were just chaotic, like when Watanuki got harashed by all the demons/ghosts in the start
well personally those things drive me nuts, when i have a fever i can suddenly see things spin around me like that so it makes me nuts looking at it but the story line was super, i am curious about the Tsubasa movie does anyone know what its about btw : this year XxX Holic series |

The movie of xxxHOLiC was an exhilarating visual feast. Although the character design takes time to get used to, eventually you'll love everything about the film especially Ichihara Yuuko. Hang it all, even the story's great throughout the movie!
The character of Yuuko, however, impressed itself upon me. She's great.

The XXXholic movie didn't impress me all that much. 15 minutes was ripped from the Monkey paw episode and I didn't like how Yuuko stepped in and overrode Watanuki. She never does that in the book. It's sink or swim for Watanuki.
