No, he's right in that there are a lot of similarities, but he's still missing the point.

Tsubasa Chronicles uses lots of re-hashed characters and places. It's an opportunity for CLAMP to re-cast characters from their previous works in new roles. They're not exactly the same characters, their personalities are often a bit different, but it's generally close enough. The main characters are Sakura and Shaoran from CCS, sure, but they're hardly the only re-used characters you're going to see. Cameos abound in this series, a fanservice that was no doubt done purposely to guarantee that their existing fanbase nuts themselves over the series. CLAMP loves money.

So no, Tsubasa Chronicles is NOT like Card Captor Sakura. You just saw the first episode, which (mostly) takes place in the main characters' home world which IS based off of CCS elements. Other worlds they go to, however, will be completely different.

Finally, things are progressing around here. Now I don't have to feel so bad about leaving sarcastic hints as to the situation. :P

Yes, 16 hasn't been translated yet. The delay thing is BS to get people off our backs and, I suspect, a way for them to cover for the fact that it's not done yet. And honestly? Everyone who really gets in a huff over whining ID fans is an L-E member who doesn't have anything to do with the project itself. Funny, that. :P

Also I think you would prefer that the job is done properly with accurate translation / all the car facts got right ne?.
Hah, gumba said "ne"... what a mindless fanboy. :P

I've tried to get this mess separated into two separate "initial d" and "misc. car talk" topics for a while now, but the posters don't seem to want to and L-E staff doesn't care. Good luck. I know I sure like wading through 95 pages of junk to read one or two posts about the series itself... -_-

Epi 5, anyone notice during a certain section there is 'wingdings' as a font for the dialogue text?  is it going to be fixed? or anyone know how to fix it?
That would be intentional.

Finally got around to watching eps 3-6... it's been a busy month for me. :P

I'm surprised no one mentioned that Fye's name was spelled as "Fay" during the eyecatch in ep 5. Is L-E|DB too stubborn to change what they have now? :P

It sounds like he's talking about out braking someone, which is exactly what you mentioned in the last paragraph.

Out-braking someone and catching up with someone via braking are two different things... he was talking about the latter. You could loosely interpret the former to mean the latter, but that's just not good enough for editing purposes -- put the latter way, the line is not only more accurately translated, but easier to understand as well.

depends on what he meant by "out brake" ... if it should have been translated as out accelerate, like outbreak.. or as in Bunta is simply better at braking and controlling in the corners.

That line's always bugged me too (I was in the process of moving to Japan at the time and didn't work on eps 7-8). I just asked Eclipse to translate the line again and he said it should be more like "someone I can't catch up to in the corners" rather than "out-brake". Put through the Editor Filterâ„¢, with my own translation, it'd be:

"It's no good... I can't beat someone I can't catch up to while braking."

We've seen numerous times that Takumi brakes noticibly later than his opponents due to his driving style. That extra time he spends accelerating (or at least not DEcelerating) gives him a chance to shorten the gap with his opponents who usually have the advantage on straightaways. Against Bunta's WRX, though, Takumi can't even make up the speed difference in the braking part of the cornering process, much less all the other parts. That's just my thought process, anyway.

You're crazy, cryptic, .hack//SIGN rocked. :P

Anyway, it's interesting to see how the series is deviating from the manga (don't care about Del Ray, I gots the real stuff here) since I usually don't compare the two forms, much less on a step-by-step basis. But don't kid yourselves -- you guys ARE speedsubbing Tsubasa. Out in less than 24 hours from the time it aired? Yeah, I think that'd qualify. That doesn't necessarily speak for the quality, though, and I won't bother getting into that. People will whine, and they will bitch, no matter what you do.

Downloaded this since I forgot to watch it on TV Saturday, and it's damned good stuff. I now wish I read more CLAMP manga, so I could get more of the cameos. :/

True, but it has special meaning for me. :P

At the rate this is going, we'll have TWO generic Initial D threads. Sure, the main one's hugely bloated by now, but if a new one's going to be made it should be more structured and not tacked onto a thread about eps 11-12. Mods, think you could whip something up? Merge, lock, whatever. :P
