------------------------------------------------
Also, the change that took place a couple weeks ago was the fact that all posts that contain sharing of licensed material will be member-locked from now on. Older posts will be left as is though, since the file links are mostly dead. Most people did not notice anything different. It does affect how you might see posts in an rss reader outside of livejournal.
Any feedback and suggestions for this community would be welcome.

What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year? A tie between CiW2 and Tokyo Revelations :3 Both lived up to the hype.
What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation? You mean storyline-wise in the mangas themselves, or in the "CLAMP news" sense? Well, It was definitely the Celes Arc in Tsubasa for me. News-wise, the fact that they seem to be working towards picking up Legal Drug again!
What would you like to see in 2008? Continuation of Legal Drug and the conclusion of Tsubasa and Holic. Also some more merchandise x3 I'd kill for little figures of the Chibified CLAMP members...
Anything else? Keep up the good work! The info you collect for the fandom is such a big help ^_^

What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year?

My favorite purchase was the Tsubasa artbook along with my black Mokona backpack, news wise, I was hysterical when the Tsubasa OADs were announced.

What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation?

The whole Ceres arc was quite satisfying for me. And the Dark Horse collaboration was quite a revelation as well.

What would you like to see in 2008?

The end of Tsubasa and xxxHolic, the end of X (right, that's gonna happen), but honestly I would like a good old epic CLAMP shoujo saga along the lines of RG Veda, which remains as one of my favorite manga ever.

[identity profile] starlady38.livejournal.com 2007-12-29 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year? Hmm, a tie between Kobato vol. 1 and my Clamp Fair Yuuko/Sakura shitajiki. As well as the Code Geass Newtype.

What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation? I liked the Ceres arc in TRC. But Holic has been pretty good lately with interesting revelations.

What would you like to see in 2008? The ends of Holic and Tsubasa (very probable), the finishing of X and of Clover (not so probable), and the re-starting of Legal Drug (might happen).

Anything else? A pony. No, seriously, thanks to this community, it's quite good (and quite a lot of work on other people's parts).

Purchase: TRC Artbook, TRC OAD, CiSDland figures, Newtype July
News: Clamp news is always good news... but maybe the CG Box (though I haven't had the occasion to buy it >.<)
What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation?
Celes Arc, Kobato got interesting for me, xxxHolic chapter 144
What would you like to see in 2008?
xxxHolic Artbook, CG yumminess, more Horitsuba shortcomics
Anything else?
I'm (quite sure now that I'm) going to the exhibit in Angoulême^^ [/bragging]

[identity profile] kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com 2007-12-30 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
I just need to get a train ticket, if I can get one I'll definitely go!
Of course, and I will post them here. The minimum I can do for a comm that makes me so happy with every update ♥

What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year?

Purchase: Well, I really stepped up the purchase of Japanese Raws, this year. I brought the Deluxe Tankobans of TRC, the artbook, the Soel+Larg book, the TRC/HOLiC calendar...but my favourite purchase is CLAMP in WONDERLAND Precious Edition.

News: The TRC Tokyo arc being released on OAD (and the possibility of further arcs being released in this manner).

What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation?

Oh, I can never remember which chapters were released when...I'll go with the conclusion of the Celes arc and the beginning of the Nihon arc-the resolution of the tension between Kurogane and Fay that had developed since Tokyo.

What would you like to see in 2008?

Plans for further TRC OADs, HOLiC artbook, consistant releases of TRC, HOLiC and Kobato, an official statment on the continuation of certain unfinished manga...

Anything else?

More official merchandise released in the UK (and, of course, other English speaking countries). Such as CLAMP in 3D LAND and CLAMP in CARDLAND. English speaking people want to be geeks, too. Oh, and more Horitsuba!

[identity profile] lotuseyes.livejournal.com 2007-12-29 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year?
My Tsubasa Artbook or the Clover DVD. No both I should think, since I love both series so very much. The announcement of the DH/CLAMP mangalettes, and the Tsubasa OAD.
What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation?
I don't know if you'd call it a revealation, but I really am enjoying the fight between the two Syaroans.
What would you like to see in 2008?
More Clover, since I love that series and re-read it constantly. More character guides to Tsubasa (in English and Japanese). More Tsubasa OAD's. Quicker release on English Tsubasa GN's. CLAMP in Cardland to come to America so that I might actually have a chance at owning the cards at affordable prices. Updates to CLAMP no Kiseki.
Anything else?
I'd like an official CLAMP magazine here in the USA, every 3 or 4 months is fine, but that's not likely to happen.

[identity profile] lotuseyes.livejournal.com 2007-12-31 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
well I suppose updating Clamp No Kiseki isn't really the right way of saying it, I mean more that they release supplements to the 12 volumes thus far released for the series that are new and released after the CnK came out.

[identity profile] kaleidoruby.livejournal.com 2007-12-29 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year? Clamp in 3DLand, I collect figures like they're going out of style.
What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation? The Nihon arc in Tsubasa.
What would you like to see in 2008? An end to X (keep dreaming, I know), an end to Tsubasa and Holic, and some new shoujo manga from them. More magical girl, please. ;_;
Anything else? Thank you for all the hard work!

What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year? News: The announcement of the Tsubasa Tokyo OADs. Purchase: The Chobits earrings that I gave [livejournal.com profile] grass_angel for her birthday and the CCS phone charm she gave me for Christmas.
What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation? No contest: "This is payback, Kuro-sama!" and Fay smiling again. Honourable mentions: Holic Chapter 144, Fuuma and Seishirou's conversation, Yuuko turning into a flight of butterflies.
What would you like to see in 2008? More CLAMP merchandise available in New Zealand. Hokuto and Kotori appearing in Kobato or Tsubasa and NOT DYING. An explanation of who/what Watanuki really is. The resolution of the hunters/vampire twins subplot in Tsubasa. More Legal Drug. More Clover. More Touya/Yukito. Ummm...
Anything else? There needs to be more CLAMP crossover fanart!

What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year?
CLAMP in 3-D land! CLAMP in Wonderland 2!!! 2nd season of xxxHOLiC!

What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation?
Pretty much everything about real!Syaoran. But OMFG NO when Watanuki asked Yuko what she's wish for and said he wanted to help grant her wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaanndd for Kobato just the other day when she found Fujimoto passed out and put his head in her lap.

What would you like to see in 2008?
More frequent xxxHOLiC chapters. Sakura choose real!Syaoran over the clone.

Anything else?
I loved the 2 new images from the Tsubasa/xxxHOLiC 2007 calendar. Also, I love the 3-D Land box illustrations. I wish they were bigger.

Thanks to clamp_now for all the info! Please keep informing us CLAMP fans throughout 2008!

What was your favorite CLAMP news or purchase this year?
News: Um, pretty much everything. I love all the news! XD
Purchase: Tsubasa 21 with OAD 1. That's all. Although I wanna buy Kobato. 1 but Tsubasa 21 with OAD 1 is so freaking expensive it took all my money away. ;_;

What was your favorite 2007 CLAMP manga revelation?
Um, Tsubasa is getting more interesting! And more Kobato.! XD

What would you like to see in 2008?
The continuation of the other manga, more Horitsuba drama CD/short manga, more Tsubasa/Holic/Kobato.

Anything else?
Keep up the good work and thank you so much for all the CLAMP news! :D

news: Tie between CiW2 and that they might be doing more with Legal Drug

purchase: FIRST, MKR ANIME. Got the value pack of that with both seasons for 40 bucks, and have watched it a unhealthy amount of times XD But second... yaknow, I think it was the Omnibus version of holic. Which is kinda odd since I got various CG things, a lovely feather keychain, etc. But actually having the manga is very nice :)

manga revelation? I want to put holic here, but we're still not sure WHAT we found out XD But yes, think like chapter 133 and 141. Dream~

like to see in 2008: LEGAL DRUG. No really. I would like to not have to go past #5 on my fav manga list before I hit a series that finished D: Some of the more interesting stuff we're seeing for CG mirrored for CLAMP written series? >> Who here wouldn't want a Yuuko mousepad with boobs for wrist support? Less breaks with holic @_@ Sei and the vamps finally meeting up on screen. A family photo album for TRC!Sei and Fuuma, the bestest brothers evah XD

Anything else: moo?
