@theclampconfessions
The fact that Iām posting means I havenāt completely given up.
Noticed yesterday that the Kindle/Comixology versions of Tsubasa & xxxHolic omnibuses are on a secret, unanounced sale. The first of itās kind that I ever remember seeing. If you think you might enjoy reading such things on your computer or tablet (I recommend at least a 7 inch screen), consider picking them up.
Tsubasa Vol 1
xxxHolic Vol 1
Coming Soon: CARDCAPTOR SAKURA: THE SEALED CARD
Oh hey, look what I found!
Showing for a limited time only, Crunchyroll is showing the second Cardcaptor Sakura movie in the US in a limited run at select theaters. Also being shown is a special Clear Card prologue OVA episode?! And a free promotional post card if you get there early! (Or probably maybe at all. Only 4 seats sold at the show I went to)
I know these limited engagements arenāt always convenient, but I hope youāll take a look if thereās a showing in your area and think about buying a ticket. Even if it might not be canon any more, The Sealed Card is still an amazing and adorable movie and I love it so much, and who doesnāt want to see Cardcaptor Sakura on the big screen?
Just going to jump in here.
Itās been literally years since Iāve done anything with CLAMP, and the reason is... basically, a mixture of all the things that come with growing up. I got a real full-time job. I moved out on my own... almost (sloppy roommates aside). Iām in a relationship with someone wonderful. Perhaps most of all, I have money now. This last one is super weird for me, since with my own stream of disposable income, Iām experimenting and branching out more and more. Anything I want, suddenly Iām the only person I need permission from to get it. Itās been almost 3 years of this financial independence and Iām still not used to it.
Through all of this, Iāve been kind of afraid when it came to CLAMP. I canāt overstate how much itās meant to me... how much it shaped me into the adult-looking person I grew up to be, but the more I experienced, the more I was worried I was drifting away from them. That someday Iād wake up and the love would just be gone.
I finally made myself watch the first episode of Clear Card, and... Iām tearing up. I think Iām going to be fine.Ā
RG Veda (pronounced Rig Veda )is based on a classic Indian saga. The lush, sprawling epic follows Yasha, once a mighty warrior king but now the lord of a slaughtered people he could not save. Yasha journeys the land as the companion and protector of the genderless Ashura, even knowing Ashura's fate is wound with doom for many. Together they seek the other four of the Six Stars, whose prophesied gathering will at last defeat Taishakuten, the evil usurper of Heaven's throne. But all prophecies are open to interpretation . . . CLAMP's first professional work.
So something nice that caught me completely by surprise today is the fact that the new RG Veda omnibuses are almost here. In fact, if you want to buy the digital version (and maybe save a few bucks), the first book is already out! Amazon and Comixology (an Amazon owned company btw) are showing different dates for the print edition for some reason, but I think we can expect it to hit in the first week of September, so if you prefer to, you wonāt be waiting long.
Also, when was it announced WishĀ would be getting an omnibus? I am not on top of these announcements. But that just makes me happier to hear the news. If anything needed some attention in a new release, it was Wish, what with all its tiny unreadable bird text.
Anyway, enough of me using my privileged position to gush about things you may already know. (Hopefully it wasnāt too annoying). Itās been a while since weāve seen a confession, and thatās on me. Iāve got about 30 confessions that need to be made and hopefully the good news today will inspire me to get to work again. (Actually, by sheer coincidence, a confession is already scheduled to post later today) Anyways, if you think Iām dropping the ball again, feel free to reach out and let me know. And we can always use more confessions, so donāt be afraid to submit them to me in any way you can think of!
Well, thatās it. Iām off to read RG Veda at work. Have a good day!
āAt first I started reading CLAMP because I was looking for new canon gay ships. But I discovered so, so much more. (And it didn't prevent me from harshly shipping whatseover).ā
I'm curious about everyone's Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa fan experiences. How did you get into these series? What's your favorite? And how excited are you for new material?
Hello, TRC/CCS fans! Ā Today I created a survey about Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle/World Chronicle, and the new Clear Card Arc for CCS, and I need as many participants as possible!
The purpose of this survey: Iāve seen a lot of mixed reactions to the release of the new Cardcaptor Sakura manga: the Clear Card Arc. Because of the difference in tone between Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa: RC, Iām curious if the order or nature of the experiences of Tsubasa/CCS fans is related to their feelings towards the new series. Will there be a correlation between a personās first series and their excitement for the Clear Card Arc? I wonder if this survey will show the answer.Ā
Iām hoping to get over 100 responses; if Iām able to get 100 or more, I believe I will have enough data points to make some graphs showing the correlation (if any) of age, first series, favorite series, etc and how that correlates to feelings about the Clear Card Arc. Ā It wonāt be representative of fandom as a whole, and as a self-selecting survey itās not very scientific, but it might be fun to read.
Regarding confidentiality of responses/anonymity: If you take this survey, youāre agreeing to let me use your responses to create these graphs. Ā However, I wonāt know who you are b/c the survey is entirely anonymous. Ā I will not ask for any identifying information. Ā Further, you will have the option whether or not to give me permission to share your answer to free response questions. Ā (If you donāt want me to share them, Iāll be the only one to see them ever.)
Anyway, it shouldnāt take more than 5 minutes to complete, because thereās only 9 mandatory questions (and theyāre all multiple choice.) Ā Itās also SPOILER-FREE.Ā I hope youāll participate and reblog this so that others can take the survey too!
medibang is made by the same people as fire alpaca! it's almost the same but it's even better with more features!
I did not know that! Thank you same (or possibly different?) friendly Anon!
not sure what you use, but medibang paint pro is a free program with a lot of cool features, there's also a program called krita, you should check them out and see if they are easier to use than whatever you are currently using!
Thanks for the suggestions, friendly Anon! Up until now Iād been using a free program called Fire Alpaca, but seeing as Iām leaving myself enough time between confessions to experiment, Iāll definitely give these programs a try!
So thereās the first confession. I guess the hiatus is over.
Couple things going forward:
First, sorry about the quality. I am not a digital artist, and the program I was using changed how they do things and now I canāt figure out how to draw the airbrush effects in a straight line anymore. Iāll work on it.
And also, because the backlog really isnāt that long right now, donāt expect me to queue up confessions every day like Iāve done in the past. Iām aiming for about one a week, and by all means reach out and bug me if I miss one.
I think thatās about it. As always, confessions is always open. Looking forward to hearing more from you all soon!
I'm a little bit afraid to read the new CCS manga.
It breaks my heart to think of CLAMP possibly coming out years later, and changing things. Finding out that their ideas about love might have changed, and the beauty of their original story is now something they're ashamed of.
I just want everyone to live happily ever after. The original manga made me feel like that's what was going to happen. I hope the new one will too.
Apart from carrying the first chapter of the new Card Captor Sakura serialization, the upcoming issue of Nakayoshi magazine is also announcing that a ānew anime projectā is in the worksā¦
RIGHT ON!
Cardcaptor Sakura by CLAMP and other great Dark Horse manga are on sale now!
Unfortunately, it looks like the only CLAMP works included in the sale CCS and Legal Drug/Drug and Drop, but this is still a good time to pick them up if youāre open to reading digitally. Get caught up before the new series hits.
Clamp School Detectives slated for September 13
If it weren't for the small matter of age Nokoru, Suoh and Akira would be perfect ladies' men. Akira is a world-class chef, Suoh is a world-class martial artist and Nokoru is so brilliant that he stands out at their exclusive academy for conspicuous overachievers,CLAMP School! Not to mention, all three are smart, conscientious and attractive! However, since they haven't reached seventh grade and aren't ready to date yet, Nokoru has come up with a different way to ingratiate the trio with the feminine gender: forming a detective team that specializes in helping ladies in distress! Of course, it doesn't hurt that Nokoru can detect girls in trouble from a mile away, while Suoh comes from a family of Ninjas and Akira has inherited a similarly useful set of skills from his father, an infamous thief! Recess is on and the mystery is afoot as the famed all-female creative team CLAMP unleashes the sleuthing prowess of the CLAMP SCHOOL DETECTIVES!
Itās been a while...
Hi guys.
I know itās been a long time. Much longer than I ever intended. Iāve had some stuff coming up at home (2 deaths in the family, almost failing more than one of my classes, typical daily agonizing over my future) that kinda took my mind away from this blog, and CLAMP as a whole so far this year, and on a related note have had some depression and general unhappiness to deal with.
But that was the past. Things are starting to even out, and I want to start giving this blog the attention I think it deserves again. Not right away unfortunately, but in the next couple weeks, after my classes wind down for the summer. (June/July) Right now Iāve got exactly twenty confessions in my inbox, and Iām hoping given some of the news weāve had lately (A CCS Sequel?!) more will be coming in.
So, just a reminder: I donāt care how you submit confessions to me. Any link you see will work. Also, as far as I remember, Iāve never had to reject a confession. I guess donāt be a jerk is the only guideline to follow there.
And so, goodbye again for now. Hopefully, Iāll be using the next few weeks to reconnect with CLAMP, and if weāre really lucky, maybe Iāll start even get to playing around with some art software and see if I can remember how to make confessions.
