xxxHolic and Tsubasa

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I'm understating it, because I've not read the Holic manga, I've only watched the anime, and until xxxHolic2 comes out, it's going to stay that way.

It is true that for the most part it is written in a way that you do not need Holic to understand it all, but Holic gives it more depth. Plus the anime is not always true to the manga.

Example The whole "fallen angel" incident that possessed the girl and made her lose her inhibitions. In the anime, as in their tendency not to show the connections, does not mention the fact that the "fallen angels" are being used by FWR as part of his plan The draw back of both the TC and the Holic anime is that, with the exception of the movies, the connection between the two worlds is rather ignored, especially in the Holic anime. TC the only part we get a crossover is in the first episode and the fondants during the Ooto arc. :/ Though the TC OVAs are doing a splendid job at the moment.

There are other discrepancies as well. Plus, I do not know how much into detail they go into the TRC manga (since I am only at the Piffle World Arc) as to why R!Syaoran was captured by FWR.
