For those of you that know the story, do you recommend watching the movie before the series? Or does the movie spoil anything?

Like most anime-movies, this has an original story.Originally Posted by Budweineken
If you've already watched eps 1 and 2, it wont spoil you anything, since you should know the characters already.
Watch it, its really good.
Beware, being a CLAMP fan I'm biased though.
You can actually even watch it first. The only disadvantage is you wouldn't already know the characters. As RyougaZell said, eps 2 or 3, you'll have a perfect understanding of the pre-existing relationships between the characters.
The score is really good, fits the movie very well. If you like the show I highly recommend the film.
Well if there's pre-existing relationship in the movie that is better explained in the TV series, then that would mean that it would be best to watch some episodes of the TV series before watching the movie.
The only things ultimately you need to know is that Watanuki works for Yuuko, that he dislikes Domeki, and that he likes Himawari, all of which is introduced in the first 5 minutes of the movie as well. If you watch the series, you get a little more background, but its the same in the end.
Is anyone still watching this? it's already to 13 episodes now http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/788.html
I've downloaded up to ep 8, but haven't seen one since ep 3.
I need to get on current... I'll get mishicorp subs later...
Just watched 6 Tsubasa eps in a row last weekend, and im getting 8 hack episodes now...
Shinsen-subs got so slow hack and XXXHolic are way ahead... so I finally gave up on them, and started searching for other groups (Tsubasa's case was dattebayo)
I just finished this series, and I really enjoyed it. Different from Clamp's other works, but in a good way. I liked the ghosts and the creepiness factor as well as the stuff that was just pure fantasy (the demon parade, the talking flowers). Watanuki is a great lead and doesn't really fit in to the main stereotypes (not a I-will-not-fail! hero, but not useless/cowardly either). I really liked Yuuko's VA, and the character too (an actual adult), and I really want to see the next season.
Oh, and the disembodied hand in the last episode seriously creeped me out :O
Is the version from mishicorp watchable, or is there another group that still does it? Shinsen has dropped it, so I'm now looking for a decent group to download 12+ from.
Mishicorp's torrents are down due to the license.
Your best bet is finding a batch torrent on tokyo toshokan (sp?) or mIRC.
I just watched ep 11 yesterday... I still have ep 12 to 24 stored in the PC as well.
I like the series, but feel the manga is better... which is currently being serialized montly in spanish here in Mexico.
Ep 11 was badly messed up... Zashiki Warashi (sp?) giving a gift for mid-year instead of Valentines? It ruined the White Day ep... dunno if it was aired though... I'll see the eps other day...
