The nice thing is Clamp tries to make a series accessible even if you don't recognize all the crossovers..when I was reading Tsubasa, there were a few I didn't recognize because they're a bit older, but thankfully they explain it in the back of each book so you can enjoy the story ^_^ Lol I just remembered there was another Kobato crossover charac. I didn't list, and that was Kohaku and Kudo from Wish..lol there's always so many XD (even Ginsei was a crossover from Tsubasa)..Awesome =D Yeah, I saw they recently have those box sets at a better price, so here's hoping they do it for more series >_< Cool, glad you like the Suzumiya series so far ^_^ I kinda glanced at the first light novel and I think if you're a fan of the show, you might like it =) I have to read it further...lol well it shows we're having an interesting conversation so that's good XD

Lol that's ironic! I would consider Inuyasha one of the more masculine animes I've watched >_< Hmm I guess it has something for both genders? Lol ok glad you don't mind ^_^ Yup, Holic crosses over with Tsubasa (and since I don't want to spoil anything, let's just say crossover is an understatement XD). Clamp seems to like crossovers a lot..like in Kobato, some characters from CCS, Chobits, Tsubasa, and Holic all made appearances =) It made me smile when they appeared since the other animes haven't been continued for some time..hope they pick it up again! By the way, what do you think of the Suzumiya series so far?

That's understandable, especially the longer ones..hmm not sure if you're interested in xxxHolic, but that one is still being released with new volumes, and it's a bit shorter than Tsubasa..the anime was pretty good, but they seem to have stopped it, but the manga keeps going =) Lol absolutely! I've collected clamp manga for a while since some friends introduced the author-group to me..they've done sooo many series, but I think CCS was my first that I read their manga..I recommend the manga..the artwork is beautiful and it follows the anime fairly close..there are a few clamp series I'm going back to discover for the first time since they're a bit older..I haven't read the Kobato manga but I should now that I've seen the anime >_<! Lol sorry if that was too much rambling, but as you can see, I very much like their work ^_^

Oh that's right, the movies too! More to look forward to ^_^ Totally =D! I was so happy the way it ended...I didn't think there was a way she could be with him in that circumstance, but it's pretty clever how they explained it..now I'm curious what Clamp will come out with next >_< I hear they're working on Gate 7..looks interesting

I'll be catching up on Eden of the East more since I literally just finished Kobato...ah, I loved it XD !! lol..any anime/manga you're close to finishing?

Yeah, I find it refreshing that some shojos show the protagonist (a girl) as a strong, independent woman rather than a damsel in distress..(lol, and yes, that they have more going for them than just their looks XD) I just looked it up on anime news network and you're right, it already looks really cute >_< also looks really heart-felt ^_^ I will add that to my planned manga/anime XD thanks for the recommendation =)

Aw there's nothing wrong with that, that's awesome XD ! Lol I wasn't sure if you liked shojo or not, but that's cool ^_^

It's very good..I totally recommend it ^_^ It has a nice balance of comedy, action, and romance..technically, it's a shojo, but I think it plays more into the comedy element sometimes..I just looked at the Kamisama Dolls trailer and it definitely looks interesting =D

Hmm ok, I might check it out ^_^ Lol the story is probably pretty different, but it reminds me of this older manga called Girl Got Game..basically about a girl who pretends to be a boy so she can play at this school's really good basketball team (they only have a boy's team)..kinda like Hana Kimi only basketball theme XD
