CLAMP NEWS !!
Kobato.:
This is not really "news", actually, but anyway, I just think it's weird they don't mention anything about color pages on the upcoming 1st chapter o.o Maybe there won't be any at all?
Tsubasa:
- Next chapters scheduled (red means new):
09/27 - Shonen Magazine #43 - Chapter 130 (on sale).
10/04 - Shonen Magazine #44 - Chapter 131.
10/11 - Shonen Magazine #45 - Chapter 132 (last chapter of tank 17).
10/18 - Shonen Magazine #46 - No Tsubasa scheduled.
10/25 - Shonen Magazine #45 - Chapter 133 - 3 color pages, beginning of tank 18.
I confess I didn't expect chapter 132 to be the last of tank 17 o.o Which means that tank will be only 7-chapters long o.o Good, though ^__^
Sorry, I didn't count right. Vol 17 will have 8 chapters as well ^^"
Book:
-The cover of the 2nd Character Guide has been announced:
That image is really cool indeed >.< The Guide will be out on October 17th, covering arcs Shurano to Rekoruto.
Calendar:
-The cover for the 2007 Tsubasa & XXXHOLiC calendar has also been announced, featuring, as always, Mokona=Modoki ^^
DVD:
-Check out the covers of DVDs 2 and 3 of Tsubasa Chronicle 2nd Season.
XXXHOLiC:
- Next chapters scheduled (red means new):
09/25 - Young Magazine #43 - Chapter 120 - Last chapter of tank 10 (on sale).
10/02 - Young Magazine #44 - No XXXHOLiC scheduled.
10/07 - Young Magazine #45 - No XXXHOLiC scheduled.
10/16 - Young Magazine #46 - No XXXHOLiC scheduled.
10/23 - Young Magazine #47 - Chapter 121 - 4 color pages, beginning of tank 11.
10/30 - Young Magazine #48 - Chapter 122
Coincidentally, the color pages will come at the same week as of Tsubasa's, maybe they have something planned? O.o
Book:
-According to them, CLAMP will draw the cover for XXXHOLiC's official guide book, out on November 17th.
-They also confirmed what I posted previously about the release of tank 10 on November 17 as well (weird thing is that TRC #17 will be out on the same date but there's nothing on their site about it o.o).
Magazine:
-There will be something about XXXHOLiC on Animage's November Edition (out on October 11th), I just can't tell you what it is because the link at CLAMP-NET it's broken xDDD It's probably an interview, though.
DVD:
-Check out the cover of the 4th DVD here, featuring fancy Watanuki and Himawari (the image resembles very much the color page of vol 3).
-They announced new good stuff that will come with the upcoming DVDs, all of them belonging to the "Monthly XXXHOLiC" special booklet, the coolest of them is a CLAMP interview that shall come with the 5th DVD's special booklet.
Anime:
-So far, there has been no news about a second season of the anime series, and all the official sources tell that the series is really over (Production IG's website, Ohkawa and Nekoi's private board at CLAMP-PLANET, etc). None of them confirm it, but also none of them deny it. So if you ask me, it could be that the announcement will be given sometime in the future. I think we can hope for it until the end of the year, when they normally announce the Spring series.
Does anyone remember how it was with CCS? Did they announce the 2nd and 3rd seasons right away? Or they waited a little?
ETC:
Dimension Zero:
-They finally put up samples of the illustration CLAMP will draw for the Dimension Zero card series:
It's so small you can barely see it XD But the colors sure look different O.o The series will be put on the market on October 28th.
CLAMP in 3-D LAND:
-There will be a fair sponsored by Animate's stores from November 1st to 30th, celebrating the release of the series. Special postcards will be given as a present for those who buy at least 1000 yens of CLAMP products.
-The second bounce of the series will be released on February 2007, and will come with the figures of: Syaoran (TRC), Freya (Chobits), Rikuou Himura (Gouhou Drug), Yasha-ou (RG Veda), Hikaru + Suzuhara Misaki (Angelic Layer).
-Also, CLAMP will draw the illustrations for the packages (probably full of SD characters? ^0^).
Before leaving, let say that CLAMP-NET's layout is getting old already. It's been more than a year since they changed it, the web designer part of me wants to see a redesigned version XDDD But really, I think this is the longest period they've ever been using the same layout.
