Sorry for double post, though we have some information from the latest issue of Newtype.
It's going to be a crossover of CLAMP's past title Wish and Kobato. Staff: Original Creator: CLAMP (Kobato, Wish) Director: Mitsuyuki Masuhara Series Supervision: Morio Asaka Series Composition: Michiko Yokote / Nanase Ohkawa Scenario: Mamiko Ikeda / Miharu Hirami / Reiko Yoshida / Tsutomu Mizushima / Yuka Yamada Character Design: Hiromi Kato Animation Director: Satoshi Tazaki Color Design: Harue Ono Art Director: Hideyuki Ueno Director of Photography: Kouhei Tanada Editing: Kashiko Kimura Sound Directer: Masafumi Mima / Toshihiko Nakajima Music: Takeshi Hama Production music: FlyingDog, Inc. Animation Production: Madhouse Studios Here's a copy of the scan from Newtype. Very interesting that they'll join the two stories together. Makes sense really, because there's not really enough Kobato material for a whole series. It's also interested that pretty much al lthe staff working on this have worked on past CLAMP anime adaptations in the past. Goes to show that they know who to use.

Will this be a full-blown crossover with Wish? I had the impression that Kokaku's (sp?) appearance was more like a cameo. I'm interested in Kobato in and of itself. If this is truly a crossover with Wish, then I'm *really* interested in seeing the show.

All is basically says is that both titles are being merged, though going by the fact that it's still titled Kobato, then the Wish material may just be featured in an arc, because at the moment there isn't enough material in the Kobato manga for a full series.

Yeah i know that, though the fact that it's been announced that Wish will take part in this show makes me think that it'll play a bigger part in the story then just a cameo like Legal Drug in xxxHolic.
It's just all gonna be speculation at the moment. Hopefully it'll be official announced what they plan to do very soon, because i'm just as confused as you. Nope, not yet. If there was, i would have posted them.

Manga by CLAMP always feature cameos from their canon. So, I'm not surprised that the anime series have this. Still, a full crossover in a CLAMP anime: a first, if my memory serves me.

Even in holics and Tsubasa, which are proper crossovers in the manga, the other side's part is cut in the anime. So, yeah. I'm pretty excited. Also, is that avatar Himawari or Lenalee? Having the same voice and similar looks does affect my ability to tell them apart.

& yeah i'm really excited if it's what i believe, though at the same time i just want an adaptation of Kobato, though i trust they know what they're doing with this idea of theirs.

My point is that Tokyo Babylon can be seen as the prologue of X (and for Clamp it's the case) So when Subaru and Seichirou appears in X they are not character from Tokyo Babylon anymore but character from X.

Here we're looking at the lead in Wish appearing in Kobato, a currently running manga. Wish ended over a decade ago. How is this any different from Tokyo Babylon and X? |

But yeah Tokyo Babylon isn't even set in the same dimension as X, though i can still see why someone would call it a prologue of sorts. CLAMP just carried on the story under in a new title, and it worked brilliantly.
