Ah, thanks for the forward, Lynk xD

coz it's like Clamp ran out of character ideas and put together all the old ones.

CLAMP has actually been wanting to do a cross-over series since they first started out as manga-ka. TRC was a long time coming, and has nothing to do with the group running out of ideas. It's really easy to see how important TRC is to CLAMP when you consider that they even put X on hold for it, as well as their newer series Kobato and Legal Drug, if I'm not mistaken.

As to whether or not you'd enjoy it... well, I can tell you that TRC is not gender-specific. It runs in Shonen Magazine, but is in fact unisex. I suppose this means there's a good balance of action and actual plot. There isn't "drama", per se... I mean, it's not like Sakura goes sleeping around with everyone and Syaoran gets all hurt and they have a big fight, etc. It's more like development in the plot. So, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by drama; is it like the Furuba type?

I'm really confused as to why you hate Sakura (I didn't realize there was really anything to hate), but she has certainly matured in Tsubasa, if that's what you disliked. Syaoran is also indeed the main character of the series, so if you really liked him I would recommend the series to you. However, his personality is quite different... he might be unrecognizable. Basically, there is CCS!Syaoran-Presakura, and CCS!Syaoran-Postsakura. TRC!Syaoran is post (sentimental, devoted, etc.)

In all, I would not recommend Tsubasa to you, especially if the only CLAMP series you liked was Chobits. The reason I say this is because I noticed Chobits was quite different for CLAMP, and while Tsubasa isn't necessarily "repackaged", it's definitely more akin to what I would consider "CLAMP". There's also no Hideki thus far, which bugs even me.

But if you do go for it, I'd recommend watching the first episode and then skipping to the second season... in all honesty, the first season of Tsubasa sucks the big one!
