The end of an era

So, I just came on here to feed my fish at the bottom of the page (Yes I know they aren't real, I have a lot of free time, okay?) and thought I would document the fact that I have finished Tsubasa.

According to this blog, I started Cardcaptors on the 18th March, watched all of that series and the movies dubbed, and then again subbed, and then moved on to Tsubasa, and then I read the manga. Right at the beginning of that journey, I had watched the first episode of Tsubasa, and had made myself watch all of Cardcaptor Sakura before watching it again. That's one day short of TWO WHOLE MONTHS in which the majority of my spare time has been devoted to emersing myself in the CLAMP (the authors) multiverse. Now I'm feeling a little bit lost. Its like Nanowrimo all over again; you spend a huge amount of time devoted to one thing, and then when its over, it leaves you feeling at a bit of a loose end.

Not that there isn't plenty of things I could, or rather should be doing. I have designs to do for the TV show, research to do into setting up my own business, hell, I could even actually finish my nano novel.

Or I might rewatch the Tsubasa anime, or start xxxholic or Chobits, or other some other anime/manga.

I'm not too good with that productivity thing.

Oh, and in case you were wondering what my final impression was of Tsubasa (lets face it, you aren't, but I'm going to tell you anyway) I loved it. Parts were so heart-breakingly sad to the point that I was in tears for entire chapters, namely Fai and Kurogane's back stories. Other parts were so funny that I was laughing out loud, such as Fai, Sakura and Syaoran getting drunk to the point that Fai and Sakura were pretending to be cats, and Syaoran was convinced a ladle and then his gloves were his sword. Yes, it got crazily confusing towards the end, but I think it explained it in the end perfectly well, you just had to be patient. But mostly, I enjoyed the mis-en-scene of it (yay for utilising my A level in media studies). The character design and costumes were amazing. If only I had that amount of creative talent.

I really wish they would restart the anime, because it seems such a shame that they have left the main part of the story untold in that media, and I find the fight sequences so much easier to understand in anime rather than manga form.

I also wish that I had a spare £150 + lying around so I could buy the books and the DVD's, but no such luck!

PS- I have just read through this post, and YES, I FULLY APPRECIATE HOW MUCH OF A LOSER I SOUND. But hey, it makes me happy.
