DVD: xxxHolic, Tsubasa Got also got 3 volumes of the xxxHolic manga, too. xxxHolic manga is a pretty, damn good story and I picked up that DVD and box first; then it made me really curious about what Tsubasa's all about. Then, yesterday, I saw the Tsubasa volume 1 box, and volume 2 DVD, both at half price, and couldn't say no.
And yet, I barely know of anything by CLAMP, except CardCaptor Sakura back when it first aired as "CardCaptors" here in the U.S., but that was about it. It was a little odd getting used to the exaggeratedly long, thin character designs during the first episode of xxxHolic, but before the end, I thought it was kind of elegantly cool (not cool as in 1950's greaser "Ay, cool, daddy-yo!" but cool as an icy coolness). Plus, there are butterflies, all over the place.
The Animé Network: FullMetal Panic, Madlax, Final Fantasy Unlimited. All interesting, in their own way... Though Madlax was way confusing to me, FMP was funny as hell, yet intriguing, and FFU was good, if not for that one kid's voice. Whoever did his voice, it must have been their first time, or something, because the delivery was way flat, and off speaking tempo, and it just sounds weird whenever he speaks lines.
Although, I missed the first two episodes of GetBackers, Samurai Gun, and UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, but may just check them out anyway, if I can follow up on the story quick enough to care.
