    I would be on that boat too. But I've only really started reading the CLAMP stuff, like Chobits is the only series I have on my book shelf at the moment.

    i actually havent read any Clamp yet although i have got CardCaptor Sakura the manga on CD but still havent got a chance to get to it

    Chobits has such a good storyline, i think i'll have to give it a go next

    You can get them in Easons, the one in town surprisingly has a huge collection.

    i was so surprised to see Easons selling Manga, its great though and about time too :D
    i think i'm more of a Tsubasa veteran rather than xxhoilic cos the fansubbed xxholic series only started on youtube a while ago and of course big kitty Fai won me over from Tsubasa! ^_^
    the xxholic anime series is hilarious well i think so :o Watanuki is too cute for words :)

    Have u guys seen Magical Knight Rayearth?
    Its pretty good as well!! :cool:

    They have also Angelic Layer but I just watched a couple of episodes and I cant say if its good or not.

    But X definitely its the best one! At least the one with the best fights!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 Obsidian~eyes


    i hadnt seen or heard Magical Knight Rayearth before whats it about?

    X looks awesome! its been on my purchase list for a while now :D but i havent seen any yet :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 Dreh


    Magical Knight Rayearth is about 3 japanese girls that go to another world (rayearth) and there they become some magical knights to protect the world against some evil guys that want to rule the world (or its something like that.. i dont remember it well cause i watched it ages ago)

    I never saw anything about them over here! I just watched and read some mangas in Brazil! But probably u can find some stuff in american websites!

    U can check this website! http://rayearth.astraldream.net/
    Enjoy it !

    There's also the criminally overlooked Tokyo Babylon

    Since there was a nice bit o support here I took a look see at Tsubasa :D I've also seen a few CCS episodes a while back and the chobits series.

    All very nice work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 129 ✭✭Rei-chan


    Oh wow, people buying manga as the only means to read a series...I buy manga these days cause I'm a huge fan of the anime/manga, so I do it to show support...
    Anyways, Clamp pwn. I <3 CCS, Chobits, Tsubasa Chronicles, Wish, X and all their other stuff.
    Yay Clamp!

    The only manga i have read of clamp is the Chobit series. Volumes 1-8, I am currently trying to find some more of there work, all there storylines have such strong plots and characters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭direbadger


    I thinks Clamp's stuff is amazing. Their stuff which I like is vastly superior to most of the other comics (manga or otherwise) which I read. Cardcaptor Sakura is my favourite comic of any genre ever and it has been for many years, which is unusual considering 1. I'm 26 and 2. a lot of the other stuff I read contains monsters/violence etc. That's just how good it is - the art, storyline and characters ar all so great I don't need mad violent monster plotlines to keep me interested. Or maybe I'm just a soppy person at heart...:o

    I also love Xxxholic (I have 1 to 5) and intend to get into Tsubasa. I finally caved and got the first 2 volums of Chobits the other day (2 for the price of 1 in Easons in Athlone!) I was reluctant because I felt the whole "robot girlfriend" concept was vaguely (or maybe reeeeally) sexist. Anyways, loving Clamp the way I do I thought I'd give it a go. I'm quite liking it (though there are bits which are totally catering to the paedos in the audience, but hey, it's Clamp). It's not as good a CCS though. Will anything ever be that good again?...

    I thought Clover had fantastic art but the characters didn't really blow me away. So far I haven't really been arsed to get anything past volume 1. And that's despite there being the ever popular (if you're a girl) pervy gay baddie torments bishie hero plot device! I suppose even with all the right ingredients something might not necessarly do it for you.

    I don't like Rayearth at all. Neither the art style nor the plot. I didn't care about the characters either.

    In general though Clamp are ace.
