Well, not really. I have watched the first season of the series a long time ago and when i watched it again i had almost forgotten everything in it.
Compared to recent action type animes this one is really old school in terms of its animation, but non the less its one of the best action animes of the mid 2000s.
The story revolves around a girl named Sakura who had lost all of her memories, and a boy named Syaoran who is determined to collect all of Sakura's memories for her, and basically thats it.
Original Sound Tracks, or OST, are one of the most important things i look for in an anime, maybe because I'm an audiophile and enjoy sounds a lot. Yuki Kajiura is one of the best composers that contribute to the anime world and i believe that her best work was in Tsubasa Chronicles. There isn't any track in the OST list that i didnt enjoy, Specially the characters themes, like Fai's theme just struck me on the second or third episode, like its soo epic and you know by the theme just how amazing the anime is.
If it was for the first two seasons i would've given the anime about 7/10, because of its kinda repetitive nature and kind of long 52 episodes (for both seasons).
When i saw the first OVA it instantly pulled the anime from a 7/10 to 8.5/10 which is very very good in my opinion, and what kept it form getting a nine or a ten was the fact that only 3 episodes of the epic epic Tokyo Revelations is simply not enough to compensate for 52 repetitive episodes, but still it was worth the wait. The other thing is that you cant understand the full story through the just the anime, you have to read the manga too which is why i didn't continue the second ova until now, moreover if you want to understand the full picture and get all the references you'll need to watch/read its cousin xxxHOLiC and Cardcaptor Sakura, and if you really really want to understand all the referenced characters you should also watch/read Chobits, Tokyo babylon and X, (ugh clamp why so many crossovers >_<)
So, would i recommend this anime, honestly im not sure.
If you are the type of person who can wait to and watch through the the first two seasons then go ahead once you reach tokyo revelations you will not regret the time spent watching the two seasons, however if you are the type who will get board and stop watching the anime then don't because it will only make tsubasa disappointing to you.
In this review i am a bit harsh, but thats just me. After reading what i wrote again it seems as though im saying that the first 52 episodes are bad but honestly no, even without the OVA this is a very high rated anime because even when i compare it to today's action animes it just gives me something more, i can't really describe it, and maybe its because it came out in the mid 2000s, when to me the best animes came out at that time.
What i would recommend is to read the manga first and then rewatch any chapter you like in the anime.
