History Trivia / TsubasaReservoirChronicle

* DisownedAdaptation: CLAMP was disgruntled with how the anime adaptation turned out to be due to its TroubledProduction and the [[ChristmasRushed tight deadline]] NHK gave Creator/BeeTrain. It reached the highest point in the first season finale, where a spell caused [[BackFromTheDead dead people to revive]] - which ''nullifies'' all the plot of ''Tsubasa''! The studio undid it the next season, but the damage was already done, and both CLAMP and Bee Train pulled the plug on a potential third season. [[ChannelHop The anime production staff was switched]] from Creator/BeeTrain to its parent company Creator/ProductionIG to produce the ''Tokyo Revelations'' [=OVAs=].

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: NHK made the anime adaptation more appealing to younger audiences as with ''Cardcaptor Sakura''; for the second season, Bee Train produced {{filler}} episodes. The lukewarm reception of the series, [[FromBadToWorse combined with CLAMP's discontent with the anime adaptation]], resulted in the series being axed altogether.

* CharacterOutlivesActor: Fei Wang Reed's English voice actor Randy Tallman died on November 20, 2007. Starting with the second season, R. Bruce Elliott took over the role.

** The anime could have had a third season if NHK continued the production of the anime. However, CLAMP was disappointed in how the anime was becoming LighterAndSofter instead of what it was originally (as the manga's storyline was getting DarkerAndEdgier), and they changed the production staff and animation studios to make it closer to their manga, even if it meant to release the anime as [=OVAs=].

* DoingItForTheArt: The European Spanish dub director, Alfredo Martínez, watched ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' full and studied the work of its voice actors in order to make the ''Tsubasa'' dub more faithful in the common characters.

* IKnewIt:
** Some of the fans actually guessed the [[spoiler:MyOwnGrampa]] thing more than two months before chapter 223 was published. Wow.
** And some knew the names of the real Syaoran and Sakura a long time ago, too, although most if not all of the people who Knew It only knew one or the other
** At least one person guessed that [[spoiler:[[DeadAllAlong Yuuko was dead]]]] long before it was actually revealed.

* SheAlsoDid: The series' composer, Music/YukiKajiura, would also go on to compose music for other anime, including ''Manga/PandoraHearts'', the ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' films, ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', ''LightNovel/FateZero'' and ''Manga/{{Erased}}''.

* OldShame: CLAMP was reportedly dissatisfied on how the manga storyline progressed, acknowledging that they had gone too far with the MindScrew.

* ChristmasRushed: Creator/BeeTrain was given six months to complete the anime in time for its premiere. The end result speaks for itself.

* FanNickname: Quite a few.
** The names Fai gave everyone in Outo became quite popular among the fans: "Big Doggy" for Kurogane, "Little Doggy" for Syaoran, "Big Kitty" for Fai, and "Little Kitty" for Sakura.
** Fai-mommy and Kuro-daddy are also canon nicknames that have taken on a second life in fandom.
** Ass-Chin for Fei Wong.
** "Cloney" for [[spoiler:Syaoran's heartless clone, sometimes called C Syaoran in contrast to R Syaoran]].
** Junior [[spoiler:or Syaoran-jr when Real Syaoran turned out not to be a real at all, but Sakura and Syaoran Li's son taking his father's name.]]
** For ''Franchise/TombRaider'' fans, Sakura, due to having a similar outfit in the Tokyo arc as Lara Croft, is "Sakura Croft".
** Fans refer to Tokyo in the Tokyo arc as "Acid Tokyo".
** [[spoiler:Tsubasa-kun and Tsubasa-chan]]

* ChristmasRushed: Creator/BeeTrain was given six months to complete the anime, resulting in this trope.

** [[BigBad Fei Wang Reed]] was first voiced by Randy Tallman in the dub but had to be replaced with R. Bruce Elliot for the second season, following [[AuthorExistenceFailure Tallman's death]].

* {{Jossed}}:
** A lot of fans were convinced that [[spoiler:Fai was going to die]] before the series ended. [[spoiler:He didn't.]]
** There were actually fans who thought that [[spoiler:the real Syaoran/Tsubasa's parents were Sakura Kinomoto and Li Syaoran of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'']] but this was jossed when Sakura Kinomoto herself appeared in the manga [[spoiler:and gave her Star wand to her to clone Sakura. Oh and the clones are Tsubasa's parents]].

* SheAlsoDid: The series' composer, Music/YukiKajiura, would also go on to compose music for other anime, including ''Manga/PandoraHearts'', the ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'' films, ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', ''LightNovel/FateZero'' and ''Manga/{{Erased}}''.

* ActingForTwo: Tokyo!Subaru and Tokyo!Kamui are both voiced by Creator/MicahSolusod in the English dub.

* BTeamSequel: ''Tokyo Revelations'' and ''Shunraiki'' [=OVAs=] were done by Creator/ProductionIG and written by Nanase Ohkawa herself which [[CanonDiscontinuity ignored the filler episodes after the Rekord arc]] and continued the manga storylines starting with the Acid!Tokyo arc. Unlike the other examples of this trope, those were well received by fans.

** "Cloney" for [[spoiler:Syaoran's heartless clone, sometimes called C!Syaoran in contrast to R!Syaoran]].
** Junior [[spoiler:or Syaoran-jr when Real!Syaoran turned out not to be a real at all, but Sakura and Syaoran Li's son taking his father's name.]]

** CLAMP originally did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIO8YQnR5t8 storyboard]] for the second season opening. However, Creator/BeeTrain wasn't willing to make an offer with them and used a slideshow behind CLAMP's back.

* RoleReprisal: Creator/AyaHisakawa, who voiced Kero from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', reprised her role in one of the filler episodes.

* CreatorKiller: Although both the manga and its sister series ''Manga/XXXHOLiC'' were hugely successful and critically well received, their MindScrew ending was so impopular with their readers that it put a permanent stain on CLAMP's perceived ability (or lack thereof) to give their series good conclusions. No CLAMP product since those two (and even older ones put on hiatus like ''Manga/{{X1999}}''!) has avoided being seen with mistrust or alarm due to the possibility that it may end in another weird mess.

No CLAMP product since those two (and even older ones put on hiatus like ''Manga/{{X1999}}''!) has avoided being object of mistrust or alarm due to the possibility that it may end in another mess.

* FranchiseKiller: The anime's lukewarm reception helped lead to both CLAMP and Creator/BeeTrain pulling the plug on a potential third season. It doesn't help that Bee Train became dormant since 2012 and director Creator/KoichiMashimo retired from the industry which leaves any continuation of the animated series uncertain.

** Season 2 was never released ''anywhere'' in Europe (except, ironically enough, Spain). Granted, most of it was filler, but if you want to see the Piffle and Lecourt world arcs animated and don't live in Japan, Spain or America, you're out of luck.
* OldShame: CLAMP was reportedly dissatisfied on how the manga storyline progressed. They acknowledged that they had gone too far and had created too much of a MindScrew.

** The European Spanish dubs of the movie and the anime were respectively done by completely different casts due to a dynastic war of distribution companies. It started when distributor Jonu Media chose to dub the ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' movies with their own [=VAs=] instead of those who had voiced the anime, Arait Multimedia's voicecast, which caused a great offense to both Arait and the fandom. In response, after Jonu dubbed the ''Tsubasa'' movie and in turn lost the rights of the anime to Arait, the latter refused to use Jonu's voice actors and instead used their own, which also was the original cast from ''Sakura''. The return of the voices was better liked by the fans, but the subsequent heat with Jonu pretty much rendered the [=OVAs=] impossible to be distributed in Spain.

* CastingGag: Syaoran's voice actor, Creator/MiyuIrino, started travelling across dimensions in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' as a young brown-haired kid.

** CLAMP was reportedly dissatisfied on their own way to weave the storyline of the manga. They acknowledged that they had been too far and had created too much of a MindScrew.
