Tsubasa Shunraiki & ×××HOLiC Shunmuki OVA
- Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- is getting yet another OVA adaptation like Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS, this time titled “Tsubasa Shunraiki” (ツバサ 春雷記). It will cover the parts of the manga where the characters go to Fai’s country to confront King Ashura, the trip to Kurogane’s Japan, and finally the Dream World of Syaoran vs. Syaoran, It will be a 2-part OVA and the DVDs are to be bundled with limited first press editions of vol. 26 and 27 of the manga, to be released on March 17, 2009, and April 17, 2009, respectively. Both volumes will be 3,700 yen. The production team and cast for the OVA will remain the same as Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS. In the same vein, ×××HOLiC is getting a two-part OVA adaptation, too, titled “×××HOLiC Shunmuki” (×××HOLiC 春夢記), to be bundled with vol. 14 and 15 of the manga, to be released on February 17, 2009, and May 15, 2009.
- I’m very glad to see more of the manga to be animated without the horrid job known as Bee Train. I won’t shell out 4 X 3,700 yen just for 25-minute videos, but I’m definitely looking forward to watching the episodes. I’m not sure what the ×××HOLiC OVA will be about, but hopefully a better adaptation of Kohane’s story.
