— Kurt Vonnegut, "Eight Rules for Writing Fiction"
Many might have wondered why Bee Train and NHK failed to adapt the glorious game-changing story arc that is Tokyo in the Tsubasa TV series. But even if you didn't look it up on TVTropes the reason behind this, it's not difficult to tell why NHK (producer of the fluffy and romantic Cardcaptor Sakura) refused to adapt the arc... after you have watched this OVA series. Disclaimer for the faint of heart: Tokyo Revelations is brutal, visually and emotionally.
"The Tokyo Arc" features probably the most important character development in the entire story thus far, and it also surpass…

Own, Online Viewing, or Evade
I’d say a show worth watching and Owning.
Overall Rating 3.5/5
A strong group of characters travel between many dimensions to gather the feathers of Sakura’s memories. This OVA has two parts that have time gaps between each other and season 2 of the TV series.
Rumiko Takahashi kind of did this with InuYasha and Ranma ½. This OVA picks up later in the manga than season 2 ended and kind of links into the TV shows with a couple flashbacks. It’s odd but I found it to work well enough to be a recommended buy and continuation.
Theme Songs 4/5
This series continues to have solid music, good opening and ending. Mostly fast paced, I didn’t skip them.
Ending 3.5/5
NO spoilers, the ending is imperfect but better than the 2nd season of the TV series.

Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelations was pretty special at times, it had the kind of CLAMP magic that you see in various other media by them, such as Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, or even Code Geass.
The kind of annoying thing is it has this spark of imagination that is so often underpowered because it ends up being poured into a conventional kind of gooey cheesy romance.
Moreover, there is a grating sense of disconnectedness fueled by the anime's bizzare relationship to the previous anime, the manga itself, and events in the future, as well as current events, which all do not ever really feel that they are all heading totally in the same direction.
It's a mixed experience for me, and this sounds like it almost wasn't worth watching, so I wouldn't be surprised if other people felt…

*CLAP CLAP CLAP, Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations (TTR) Is a masterpiece, this OVA is Dark, mysterious, fucking amazing and something that makes your mind gone insane for some events, fucking events. . .
***Guys, i was trying to not spoil for those who will read this but. . . ALAS! It's verrry hard
Story : it was based of the animation of the MAJOR PLOT TWIST of The whole manga, so hands down for making it go near to the manga itself. The writing style is GREAT
animation : hands down to the animation so awesome, TTR's animation literally knocked down the animation of the anime itself, flawless events, fighting scenes are great, fucking awesome changing music, looks like they take a lot of effort for this OVA, hands down
Characters : ahem. . . . If you are a Fai Flourite fan, i would like t…

I have never read the manga before. However, when I first saw the cover of it, I told myself that this must be fun. This OVA exceeded my expectations, while the tv series failed to do so.
Story: 9/10
I enjoyed the story line a lot, despite how everything was quite in a rush. The anonymity of everything made the story quite interesting to follow. I couldn't let my eyes wander at all, meaning that Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations had my full attention at all time.
Art: 10/10
I loved the art work here. It took me by surprise when I first played it, since they look nothing like the tv series. Yet overall, their work was epic.
Character: 10/10
It may seem that I am being generous towards every aspect of this review, but the reason why is because I enjoyed it a lot. 10 out of 10 for char…

Finally, it is here! The anime adaptation of Tsubasa Chronicle where the first huge revelations of the main plot unfolded.
There’s a long review coming…….
About the STORY
From the title itself, this OVA focuses with some of the important revelations from the original story. When the previous seasons were more on introduction and the adventure part of the story, this sequel was way even greater. In season one and two, there were very few hints about the main plot but not enough to have a clear understanding of the amazing plots of the story. This time, though not all are being revealed, it was the first huge confirmations and revelations of what were really happening to the storyline of the series. When in previous seasons it was more fun because of the adventures, this time the drama tha…

We're not in Kansas anymore.
Pretty much sums up Tokyo Revelations in a sentence, A few minutes in it shows a pile of corpses riddled with arrows and lots of blood stained clothes and Syaoran gets shot through the leg with an arrow. Which is quite a culture shock from the rest of the anime which I don't recall there being any blood in. It's like watching Sesame Street and all of a sudden Big Bird murders everyone and steals their clothes, It's not a gradual transition it changes from family friendly adventure to Macbeth.
Though I did like the darker tone I felt as if it should of been brought in a lot earlier in the 52 episodes prior rather than just ' bam here is the story you were looking for and lots of blood for good measure.'
The story is quite obviously rushed and makes little sen…

How can something so simple become so complicated? This will be my first thought while watching Tokyo Revelations...
Main Characters: Sakura, Syaoran, Fai, Kurogane and Mokona
I've finished the 1st and 2nd seasons of TC a very long time ago so it took me a while to recall and to catch up with what the heck is going on here...
Enjoyment - 7/10
Why? There was too much drama... I cannot even decide if this is an X OVA or a Tsubasa Chronicles OVA... it was quite original, yes... since characters from Clamp were shown in every possible way... kinda makes you feel nostalgic but it sometimes steers off course... too many characters, too many unnecessary info...
Overall - 8/10
It's an 8 since everything came into place already... it was now explained why there were 2 Syaorans and why they w…

As a fan Tsubasa, this was a little too irresistible to keep from picking up. I was pretty happy in the end. If you haven't watched Tsubasa before, or if you don't know much about it (even just having seen the first season), I strongly recommend you don't watch this. There would be very little sense to it, and a lot of piecing together scraps of information.
If you've decided you've seen, or even read, enough Tsubasa, go ahead and keep reading.
The quality of the art is the same as always. While it bothers a few of my friends, I've always gone head over heels for Clamp's art. I love the lanky, there's-no-way-we're-really-human look of their characters. And the anime's company, Kodansha, I feel is particularly remarkable at making a sharp, clean image. Combine the two together, and you h…

This OVA was absolutely... AMAZING!
It will leave you feeling breathless after seeing everything the characters have to go through.You will have your jaw hanging open, like a fish out of water. And the suspense will have you gripping your seat, wanting to know what happens after. You will be pulling out your hair from frustration by the ending of this. And you WILL be feeling... something after you see some of the revelations found out here.
I didn't expect it to be this good. The first and second season had some slow moments sometimes, and after watching the Tsubasa movie i thought this OVA would be something like that.
When i watched this i had just finished the 2nd season of Tsubasa and it was around 2am. I knew i had to go to sleep, but i decided to watch the first episode of Tokyo…

Tsubasa Chronicles: Tokyo Revelations, the continue of one of my absolute FAVOURITE animes of all time. It's also where CLAMP unleashes a "mind-blowing" plot that kicks you in the ass, saying to watch it over and over again.
Story: (10/10)
From the masters of CLAMP, this moved at a slow, but "musical" and beautiful rate. From the OVA however, CLAMP's mind blowing plot came, shocking everyone. It's unmatched story plot, simply unmatched.
Art: (10/10)
Beautiful art, which is entirely copied from the manga. As expected from CLAMP.
Sound: (9/10)
Very unique songs which fit scenes almost flawlessly. They really do play with your emotions, and get you "hyped" up! Character: (10/10)
Characters are rather unique, and can change depending on the arising situations. Starting out simple, and endin…

Tokyo Revelations made the two whole season of an already fantastic show seem childish. The story is darker, bloodier and fight scenes even better. Sakura even seemed to have matured and is getting a bit more independent also the four main characters bonds seem to be even deeper than before.
In my opinion Superb!! Plus the crossover characters were an added bonus!

Let me start off by saying I am among a minority of critics that feels the Anime series is a work of misunderstood genius and I'm probably the only one who's tired of the Bee Train haterz because OCD CLAMP fans can't stand anything that's different from the Manga. That's not to say I don't recognize the flaws in Bee Train's TV anime series, but nothing is with out it's flaws. With Tokyo Revelations being picked up by Production I.G from BEE TRAIN I wasn't sure what to really expect.
That being said I've always been a long Tsubasa fan more so because I've enjoyed the story telling by CLAMP. Tokyo Revelations I had mixed feelings going into, on the one hand I was delighted to see another anime adaption, on the other hand I wasn't particularly looking forward to Production I.G's new Gothic s…

I believe that Tsubasa Chronicle Tokyo Revelations was a fabulous continuation, giving us a clearer insight into the background of all the characters and the plot. For those who are slightly confused while having watched Tsubasa so far, these OVA's are of an extreme help in painting a more 'clearer' picture of the story in general. It explains so much, while still providing us with even MORE surprises to keep our minds wheeling with excitement and curiosity. Compared to the seasons before, the artwork is exceptionally better and I also believe that the climax of the story still has yet to reach its peak. The more I keep watching Tsubasa, the more I get pulled in... I just can't seem to get enough of it!
CardCaptor Sakura was a huge success, and so is Tsubasa Chronicle. I believe that the…

Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations did what the rest of the anime series failed to do: be interesting. While the art style is more or less the same, it is obvious in the first few minutes that it has been supplemented with greater detail, some additional special effects here and there, and the animation seems to move more smoothly and remain more "active", versus the all-too-boring and sluggish feel of Tsubasa Chronicle and Tsubasa Chronicle 2nd Season.
Story: 8 - Very Good
We all know the story of Tsubasa Chronicle from the manga, because chances are, if you are not a manga reader, you have not seen this OVA, and if you are not a manga reader, you stumbled upon it through recommendation or pure curiosity. My point is, I'm not going to get into the story here because I'm sure 90% of th…

Tsubasa Chronicle's anime experience has been a very rocky one. In spite of staying true to the manga to an extent, the original TV series was shameless in it's amateur art styl, jilted animation, and wholly uneven pacing. Fans got a brief look at something amazing when the short movie came out and wondered, "what if Production I.G. did the canon story of Tsubasa?"
Wonder no more.
Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations is quite literally a godsend, not only for the poor souls that suffered through the uninspired Bee Train adaptation, but also those (myself included) who felt the artwork and pacing for the manga chapters the OVA covers were way off-balance. For the revelations at hand, no one delivers the goods better.
First thing fans are going to recognize is the art style, which is much…

In my mind, the animation was better than in the first seasons. I have to admit, that some scenes were unfortunately not able to keep up with the rest (third OVA: Fay looked like a fish desperately longing for air O.o). Nonetheless the storyline was very interesting and not so easy to understand, which I find very exciting.
All in all "Tsubasa Chronicles - Tokyo Revelation" is something, fans should watch while keeping the manga in mind, in which the emotion and drama is portrayed much more intensively. =)

The continuation of the ever-so-great series Tsubasa Chronicle, this OVA (Original Video Animation) series was as good as expected, maybe even better. The group we are familiar with has now entered a Tokyo in which all but two buildings has been destroyed by acid rain. They encounter new people, and as the title suggests, there's some revelations waiting for them as well as anyone who watch this.
I really enjoyed the story. Albeit too rushed: I had trouble understanding at times, though everything's clear now. I think it could've been twice the length it was without really being any worse. Anyway, it was really great, from the original Syaoran's and the Clone's awakening to the revelation of Fei Wong's plans and how much he has actually affected the group's journey so far.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles was a great series in and of itself. It was portrayed in the anime in a very hit or miss fashion with the quality and editting. The way Bee Train hurt Tsubasa is the equivalent of what 4kids does to anime here. Be that as it may, we're not talking about the original 2 seasons, i'm here to recommend to you.
Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations
This OAV is astounding. The characters have more development then they did throughout the first two seasons. The art style was more defined, more "Mature" in the scope that Tsubasa truely is. Syaoran simply looked taller, more defined and slender, like a cross between Kurogane and Fai, the way a main characters body should look.
Following the manga pretty much to a T, the "Revelations" that are discovered and exposed in…
