Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Chapter 162
Jul. 31st, 2007 07:24 pmOkay, so, my mistake. THIS is actually the last chapter before hiatus.
Breakdown:
1. Syaoran, Sakura, and Mokona aren't even in this chapter.
2. It was nice to see Kyle and Xing Huo in the splash page, though. We know what happened to Xing Huo, but whatever happened to Kyle? Is he going to show up again? (Although, honestly, at this point in the story, anything that Kyle could say or do would be painfully anticlimatic.)
3. I still can't believe that Fay is being so stupid.
4. THANK YOU, KUROGANE. I was WTFing at Asura-Ou's explanation for Fay's tattoo, too. The logic DID NOT MAKE SENSE. At the time, though, I had just chalked it up to more of CLAMP's illogical, heyo-we-love-plot-contrivances writing. Having Kurogane point out the sheer logic-defying nonsense behind that scene, and turning it into a plot point, has slightly restored my faith in CLAMP's writing.
5. RE: Chibi!zombie... I am horribly reminded of *that* scene at the end of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Lullaby. If you've read it, you know the scene. If you haven't, you're better off not knowing.
Yes, I totally just compared a chapter of Tsubasa to a Chuck Palahniuk novel.
