I like TRC very much,specially for Kurogane and Fai jokes and Syaoran´s devotion for Sakura.The reason I gave a lower rating is just because the things become much more serious from this arc.
The story sets on an apocalypitic world where several things,which were common,now are a reason to kill for.In this chaotic place Syaoran and the others start to change each one on their way.Good and bad ways.Sakura shows her bravery and willpower like she never did before.Of course,I´ll not say why,I already said too much.
The art is improved,like any other OVA.It gives the serious-looking feeling this story should have.
Anyway...even if you like the funny

As for a Shounen Jump manga,I´d say Bakuman is something different than the most of the other well-know series of the magazine.Because the focus isn´t on fights,adventures or villains.It´s about competition and dreams,of course,two requiriments for a good SJ series,but still it´s unique,because it talks about how this magazine works and how artists can debut,with comedy and a big spoon of romance,thing we don´t see much there.
Who liked Death Note must see this series.Of course,the style is highly different,but even if you don´t like this kind of story,the references to DN are almost always present.For example,just look at some characters.Didn´t they resemble some boy genius ... |
