The shojo (girl's) series Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle offers new adventures for the characters from the Clamp Studio's popular Cardcaptor Sakura. Sakura is now the princess of the Kingdom of Clow; Syaoran is the dedicated son of an archaeologist. When a mysterious power seizes Sakura in an ancient temple, her spirit appears as a pair of graceful white wings that shatter, sending the feathers of her memories flying through time and space. Syaoran must recapture them or Sakura will die. Launched on their journey by Yuko the Dimensional Witch, Syaoran and Sakura are joined by three new characters: the rabbitlike Mokona; Kurogane, a hot-tempered warrior who served Princess Tomoyo; and Fay, a wizard who resembles Kaoru in Evangelion. As the travelers move from world to world searching for the Feathers, they help the inhabitants they encounter. After defeating the evil magician Tambal, Syaoran presents Sakura with a Feather of memory. She can't see him in the birthday party she recalls, only his empty chair: he can restore all her memories except the ones of him. The enhanced color and clarity of the Blu-ray process showcases the imaginative visuals in Tsubasa. When Kurogane blindfolds Syaoran to teach him to rely not on his vision but on his inner senses when fighting with a sword, the artists suggest his sightless world with reversed colors and evocative music. In one striking sequence, a character uses a Feather to cause the world of Outo to implode, revealing it's just a virtual reality game. These adventures are entertaining, but the filmmakers suggest that Sakura, Syaoran, and their friends may just be pawns in a greater struggle between Yuko and the mysterious Fei Wang and his assistant Xing Huo. Tsubasa is a picaresque tale that plays more like Fullmetal Alchemist than Cardcaptor Sakura, but Clamp fans will enjoy the mixture of enchantment, romance, adventure, and self-sacrifice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series finally on Bluray, December 10, 2009

I owned the original DVD release of Tsubasa when it was released by Funimation. While I enjoyed the series on my older TV, the video didn't look so great when I purchased and watched it on my 42 inch Plasma TV. When it was announced that the series was coming out on Bluray, I immediately purchased a copy and I have to say that the picture is absolutely gorgeous at 1080p. In addition, this series is a bargain at $30 at amazon, while the original series cost me well over $100 dollars. If you have a HD TV and a Bluray player, get this series. You won't be disappointed.

This is a must have series! Storyline at first seems a bit loose and confusing but as the episodes unfold it reveals an interesting plot with great characters and awesome voice overs that I recognized almost immediately from other great animes. This is definitely one the best anime's out there and I can't wait to see the next season. I'd recommend this to all anime fans!
