Tsubasa resevior chronicles is a an adventure show that lasts
more than one season but the first twenty six episodes are what I will be
reviewing in this article. Even though I said it was an adventure show I found
this anime show to be a little light on the fighting for the most part the mood
of the show does change a bit depending on what world the characters are
currently in. The first season consists of four story arcs after the story is
set up as well as three one episode stories.

It is worth mentioning is that this anime is an adaptation of
a manga by CLAMP who have taken the opportunity to jam the material full of
cameos of characters from their other works and those that are familiar with
said works (particularly Card Captor Sakura, Rayearth and X) will get more out
of this show than other people.
While I will certainly call Tsubasa a shonen show I would
also remind people that it is only sort of one in the way that isn't bound to
the tropes of said demographic and genre so that people that are turned off by
another Naruto or Bleach clone could still find this show entertaining.
Overall I consider Tsubasa to be only a decent show but
something that looks like it has a broad appeal and would probably be worth showing at your local anime club.
Rating the bronze Mokona for being the ultimate CLAMP show
but only an okay adventure show.
