Necropinion: out of all the CLAMP mangas and anime adaptations I have checked since last decade xxxHOLiC was the most interesting one for me, their only other live action version i know about is a Tokyo Babylon movie from 1993 but i haven't find it subbed yet -.- ...before watching ep.1 I knew there wouldnt be any connection with Tsubasa Chronicle neither the Black Mokona as comedy relief, so far is getting darker than i expected by the way how its characters are played but still i'm curious to see what's next (no wonder it'll last in 8 eps.)
