Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a cute series and a good way to get familiar with a lot of different Clamp series as many different characters and series come into play as they main group travels across different worlds. Definitely one to pay attention during however, or it's easy to get confused between the same faces, different worlds, and constantly twisting story line. Still, the characters retain their original charm despite their different circumstances. Anyone who enjoys Clamp stories will want this in their collection.

Tsubasa: The Princess in the Birdcage Kingdom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Despite being a movie, this feels more like just a longer episode from the TV series. The art differs slightly, but is overall consistent with the characters feel and creation as it's been through the rest of the production. The Birdcage Kingdom is as strange as any other place that they end up, being an odd melding of different worlds and characters as they often run across faces they already know in different personas across the worlds. Despite growing in confidence in the other OVAs, Sakura plays a very minor background role in this film despite the fact that it's still her feather that is at the core of yet another mess. This series has no shortage of twists and turns, so it's best to pay attention if you don't want to end up rather confused.
Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelation / Spring Thunder Chronicle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
These two come together on a single disc as an OVA for the popular Clamp series. A couple of twists bring out the second Syaoran change both him and Fai irrevocably, and bring out another side of Sakura that we haven't seen before. Though short, these two pieces give a lot of answers that appeared to be missing in the earlier series. Overall these fit well and don't seem to leave as many holes in the story line as many other OVAs seem to do.
