xxxHOLIC ends! + star driver stuff
SPOILERS ahead.
...I'm hoping for an epilogue, but Wikipedia lists chapter 213 as the end of xxxHOLIC, so.
I think I hated this ending more than TRC's, because at least TRC had more closure.
The egg's purpose has been revealed - finally - but it hasn't been used, and it looks like there's gonna be more than 100+ years (and many many more cycles of the Doumeki generation stumbling upon Watanuki) before it will be used. I'm relieved that CLAMP didn't break their cardinal rule of - the dead never comes back to life - but it crushed my heart to see Watanuki still unable to let go of Yuuko even after 100+ years. And Doumeki still is slaving for Watanuki, after 100+ years.
Y U DO DIS TO ME, CLAMP.
I'm hoping Gate 7, CLAMP's new manga, will tie up the loose ends - like, I dunno, maybe have Watanuki be the strongest wizard alive or something.
The only thing that can cure me is to have Legal Drug and CLOVER come out of their hiatus and be continued. Legal Drug, because the main duo's relationship is even more canon than DouWata; CLOVER, because omg (CLOVER also has the ~married couple Gingetsu/Ran + CLOVER can be the ~future of xxxHOLIC. or something.)
In short, brb nursing my broken heart. /wrists

On a more cheerful note, Animage & PASH scans are out for Star Driver! And my OTP is there! LOL I'm still a bit ZOMGWTFBBQ at episode 18, buuuut. I have hopes for the next couple of episodes (episode 22? will have Sugata being a moe megane boy!). Plus, Animage has naked Head and naked Sugata LOLOLOLOL PASH, on the other hand, has Head painting Sugata being all pretty. BE STILL, MY HEART.
The scans (courtesy of Good Haro) also confirmed that my Marino/Mizuno heart will not be broken because Marino stays alive, even with Mizuno's seal broken! ^o^/
Identity of coma guy is also confirmed to be, well, a guy. I LOL at people who were hoping that such a pretty person is a girl. I mean, haven't they learned from animanga fandoms?!?!! If it's pretty, it's a girl. If it's too pretty, it's a guy. LOLOLOL
One of the magazine scans also say that Head wants Sugata to be the second Fish Girl/Sakana-chan. LMAO I SHIP THEM SO HARD. Now, I'm hoping for Head to paint Sugata while Sugata is chained. Or something. LOLOLOL
