Tsubasa RESERVoir Chronicle (TRC) - the anime - showed a lot of promise from its very first episode. Hope this review is helpful and not seen as a hate thread.

Maybe the manga is better, I wouldn't know. It just seems to me that they never went anywhere with it. I have nothing against the characters or the idea behind the show. If you can sit through 52 episodes of sameness and you enjoy that feel free to watch. They never even bothered to come up with new songs, just replayed them. I know what the characters faces look like and I don't need to see close ups of them doing nothing for 10 minutes every episode. The part that really got to me was how often they would play a song while slowly moving frames across the screen to take up time during an episode. (I just found out that the third was canceled >_<)īasically you could skip episodes 10-47 ish and still know whats going on. cannot see much progression at all in the story throughout the entire 1st and 2nd series.

There is a massive amount of what I would claim is filler and you really The plot starts out strong and then begins failing very quickly. I found it entertaining and continued onward. The anime had a very promising first episode and the characters seems well thought out and reasonably likable.

I thought it looked decent so I began watching. Before watching this series I had never read the manga nor had I ever seen anything about it beyond the wiki page for the show. I'll try to get straight to the point with this review.
