I haven't seen it either, but it should be highly recommended for those who watched and liked Tsubasa Chronicles...
Anyways, here's the link for the thread for the movie that was released a couple of months ago in case any of you missed it:

Is the animation for the series like it was in the movie? The premise seemed interesting enough but the animation style litereally made me nauseous (sp?). I don't think I can watch the series if it's going to look the way it did in the movie.
looks like Shinsen is doing this series as well, first episode out
Shinsen Subs - xxxHOLiC - episode 1
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
And just when I left the Kyuketsuki's version downloading at home Shinsen-subs comes out with theirs...
Damn. Whoever watched the Kyu version... are they good? I haven't heard of that group before...
Maybe I'll have to re-download the Shinsen version...
I watched kyuu's version of kyou no go no ni and it was very pretty visually but had terrible translations. They just started up recently, I'd give them some time to cleanup their subbing process before relying on them for any anime series. I'm downloading shs' version, I can't wait (loved the movie).
Thnks for telling me.
I'll delete kyus version then and start downloading shinsen's.
In 20 minutes I have lunch break so I'll go home and do so.
Is is just me or is anyone else getting major jumps in speed while downloading the Shinsen sub? It started out fine and keeps bouncing back and forth between 30kb/s+ and 500b/s? I figured it was just my shitty connection but all my other torrents downloaded fine. There are plenty of seeders too...
@ Fiss240 below: Ok thanks, it must be my shitty connection then.. Time to toy around with all the routers...
final edit: Alright it was on my end... Getting good speeds now.
Ouch. that neg rep wiped the floor with me lol. I wasn't whining about speeds, just making sure it was my problem...

Mine was pretty steady, downloaded really fast too.
I just watched the first episode, I loved the opening and ending songs. I also really liked the style and humor of this episode, I hope it continues at this level for the whole series.
The series is running a little different from the manga. I wasn't expecting Mokona to show up until they did the Tsubasa Chronicle cross-over eps. (If you watch the first couple eps of TRC, you can see Watanuki in the background). Since in the manga the Mokonas do not appear until then, I wonder how they will tie it in now.
I did see some of my favorite parts of the manga in the OP, and I'll be looking forward to some of those hopefully. If they don't show up, I probably won't mind in the end, because I really enjoy this series (loved the movie). It is probably one of the deeper series I follow. Yuuko's words (especially wonderful when delivered by Sayaka Ohara) almost always have some deep meaning when she's not getting drunk.
Reading those comments I really want to see the ep now... and how the changes will affect future events.
If they make it believable, Mokona's introduction, and it does not interfere with the "crossover" with the past TRC series it shall be fine.
We just need to remember that TRC has double tankubons than xxxHOLIC.
Being a CLAMP addict I can't miss this one
I haven't seen it yet, but when does this really take place? Before or after Tsubasa Chronicles... Because, if it's before, then there shouldn't be too big of a problem with the introduction of Mokona.
The only real difference is that the Black Mokona awakens in this eps rather than both at the same time do when they have to give one off to Syaoran at the end of the first volume of xxxHolic.
Chronologically, xxxHolic starts before TRC, they meet after Watanuki is apprenticed to Yuuko, but they run parallel to each other for the most part once they meet. Thinking on it now, it probably will not be too much of an issue.
The next eps continues to follow the manga, at least by what was shown in the preview.
EDIT: If you were a fan of TRC, you at the least have to watch the crossover eps. Yuuko says a considerable amount about Sakura and Syaoran in the manga after they leave. For me, it made some of the scenes in TRC more touching. I do not know how much of it they will cover in the series, but read the chapters if you have to (the last chapter of vol 1 and the first of vol 2 are the crossover chapters).

Mishicorp version:

I like CLAMP anime, although chronicle was kinda meh :P
But this seems awesome!
Just saw the first ep and... wow.
I liked the added girl who wished to see spirits part.
The Mokona part was... weird... but I guess it really does not affect much.
EDIT:
Removed spoiler.

OK, manga refferences will stop here and now...
That mainly goes to RyougaZell and Ryllharu... we know this takes place in the Tsubasa Chronicles world, but stop mentioning when the crossover will take place and such.
Gladly done. I was only initially concerned in the differences, before realizing they will not effect it at all.
I'd much rather others enjoy watching it as much as I enjoy reading it.
This series is one of my particular favorites.
Bump for a question: What is the quality on Mishicorps subs? They've only popped up recently, and typically, that tends to be portent to poor quality (not always true, Koi's AIR was probably the best). Has anyone tried their releases?
Also: (Mishicorps) xxxHolic Eps 2
Shinsen-Subs xxxHOLiC ep 2
-> http://bt.shinsen-subs.org/%5BShinse...5D.avi.torrent
Just watched and well... they toned it down from the manga version...
And a reference to another series was cutted out.
I was going to say something else, but then noticed it was a spoiler so I deleted it... oh well
