And other small updates...

There are seiyuu comments added to the xxxHolic•Rou website.

[Update] Social networking

Just wanted to give you the heads-up on other ways to follow CLAMP News. Much of the news is being filtered from the CLAMP_NOW lj community where anyone can post news items and reports (Media-sharing posts are f-locked and do not show up in the sites mentioned below).

You can also follow the news on Twitter which will also have 1-2 liner news items that don't necessarily come straight from CLAMP-NET.

The most convenient way to follow CLAMP news is RSS feeds.
Livejournal's RSS
Dreamwidth's feed (lj's carbon-copy)
Blogspot's feed (some review posts added here)


CLAMP-NET's RSS - the official CLAMP website in japanese, but in google reader, you can translate the feed into your own language.
CLAMP's messages - their short messages in RSS style.

Enjoy!

[Preview] xxxHolic・Rou PV

A 30-second PV of the anime has been posted to the website. The OAD will be out April 23rd. The website also mentions a lottery for a special screening for those who reserve a copy beforehand.
