1While there are a few Abridged Series of Creator/{{CLAMP}}'s ''Anime/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' out there, two are particularly notable. Emerging at around the same time, they take very different (but equally entertaining) approaches to the series.
2
3Also be sure to check out their interaction with respect to the [[JustForFun/TheWarOfTheAbridgedSeriesCreators Abridged War]] which is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBkaDVLoxKs quite]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKLu—zqftI frankly]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFeggUmVLU0 hilarious]].

6!!! [[http://uk.youtube.com/user/ChibiTotalObelisk ChibiTotalObelisk's]] Series
7->''"Argh! I'm getting attacked by my own handwriting!"''
8
9Very heavy on {{shout out}}s and pop culture references. Surprisingly successful (considering this is a CLAMP series) in downplaying the HoYay.
10
11The series stopped at episode 10 and as of 7th October 2011 ChibiTotalObelisk's Website/YouTube account had been taken down.
12----
13This show provides examples of:
14* BerserkButton: Nobody insults ''Manga/LuckyStar''
15* BlackComedyRape: In episode 10 Fay rapes the Angelic Layer rference.
16* HypocriticalHumor: Sakura's first appearance
17* {{Leitmotif}}: Kurogane and Syaoran's theme songs appear to be the source of their fighting abilities
18* SmallReferencePools: Averted and Lampshaded “ when Syaoran becomes convinced that Dr. Kyle is [[Series/DoctorWho the Valeyard]], no-one has a clue what he's talking about.
19* ShoutOut: Lots of them, the series also claims to be "The first abridged series to include a ''Series/DoctorWho'' reference"!
20* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Fay points this out in the trailer closely followed by various spellings scrolling up the screen (including Flip, F*ck and Flippin Eck!)

23!!! ** [[http://uk.youtube.com/user/JuliaZeeGreat JuliaZeeGreat's]] Series
24As a [[FanGirl CLAMP-ophile]], Julia tends to make more references to other Creator/{{CLAMP}} series and push the Creator/{{CLAMP}} related tropes further than other Tsubasa AbridgedSeries. Unlike [=ChibiTotalObelisk=], she turns the HoYay up to eleven.
25----
26This show provides examples of:
27* AllMenArePerverts: From ''Manga/XxxHolic: The Abridged Movie'';
28-->'''Yuuko:''' There are mysterious things in the universe, and among the most mysterious are the creeps who like to look at me naked. Stop looking you perverts!
29* BachelorAuction: Chun Hyang forces Fay and Kurogane into one of these.
30* BeautyEqualsGoodness: "You're too ugly to be a good guy."
31* BornLucky: Sakura is told that she is "CLAMP's favorite daughter", therefore making her this. She ends up wondering what Kamui did to piss CLAMP off so badly.
32* CampGay: Fay
33--> '''Sakura:''' Mr. Fay made it! He's good at stuff like cooking... sewing... interior decorating...
34* CharacterExaggeration: A few of these. Fay is by far the most blatant with his constant sexual advances towards Kurogane and compulsive lying.
35* ChirpingCrickets
36* ComedicSociopathy: Tomoyo is prone to this, in both her original world and Piffle.
37* CompensatingForSomething: Yuuko accuses Kurogane of this.
38* CrossdressingVoices: It's pretty obvious that all of the characters are voiced by a woman, even the male ones. This was averted recently when [[Manga/CLAMPSchoolDetectives Nokoru Imonoyama]] was introduced.
39** Also averted in ''Manga/XxxHolic [[TheMovie The Abridged Movie]]'' in which Doumeki and Watanuki are both voiced by men.
40* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: "It feels like every brain cell in my head is turning on the one next to it and they're all setting each other on fire."
41* DarkerAndEdgier: Damn you, teenage angst!
42* ADayInTheLimelight: How unexpected, an entire episode devoted to someone other than Syaoran.
43* DeadpanSnarker: Fay does this sometimes.
44-->'''Primela:''' I call upon the [[PowerOfRock powers of pop stardom!]]\
45'''Fay:''' Oh, so you're [[TakeThat going to lip synch?]]
46* DepravedHomosexual: Fai and Seishiro.
47* {{Ephebophile}}: Seishiro. His love of teenage boys causes the world to become unstable in episode 21.
48* {{Fanservice}}: Touya and Yukito are brought back just to provide fangirl fodder. Touya's not very happy about it.
49-->'''Touya:''' Call me Touya, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch.]]
50* {{Filler}}: "Never underestimate the power of stretching out the plot"
51* GodCreatedCanonForeigner: Shogo denies being this.
52-->'''Sakura:''' Oh, for the love of God! You were not in the Manga/{{X1999}} manga! They only wrote you into the movie because they hadn't come up with Kakyo yet. That's it, I'm jumping. [[DrivenToSuicide I'd rather kill myself than listen to more of you talk]]!
53* [[GodOfEvil Goddesses of Evil]]: In ''Manga/MiyukiChanInWonderland [[TheAbridgedSeries Abridged]]'' it's revealed that Creator/{{CLAMP}} themselves are this. They are also implied to be an EldritchAbomination.
54-->'''Miyuki-Chan:''' Why are you so mean to your creations?\
55'''CLAMP:''' [[AC: [[ForTheEvulz Because]] [[ItAmusedMe it amuses us]]!]]
56* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Kurogane in episode 3
57-->'''Syoran:''' Hi, Mr. Kurogane, sir.\
58'''Kurogane:''' I was not looking at him like that!
59* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: Ryuu-oh's mic is broken, so he has to use the text chat. This results in a lot of LeetLingo. "l33t txt skillz, n00bs! lol!"
60** It continues in season 2, where he presumably has the ability to talk; he's just really creeped out by Syaoran.
61* HotterAndSexier: Damn you, teenage hormones!
62* HoYay: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and parodied. Constantly.
63* IdiotBall: Pretty much everyone in Jade Country
64* ImagineSpot: Fai's wish.
65-->'''Kurogane''': I am completely and irrevocably in love with you! Allow me to offer you my virginity. And this t-bone steak. And this trophy.
66* INeedAFreakingDrink: Yuuko thinks this in the second episode when dealing with the gang
67* {{Jerkass}}: Mokona
68* LeetLingo: Ryuu-oh
69* MediumAwareness: Fai.
70* {{Metaphorgotten}}: "Maybe we should keep him on a leash. With a spiked collar. And leather straps. And by ''we,'' I mean ''I''."
71* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Dr. Kyle
72* MrExposition: Fay, since he's the only one who has [[AllThereInTheManual read the manga]].
73** Although Kurogane has been trying to catch up to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfldg73WlQA speed]].
74** Touya also gets to do this in episode 13: "Well, exposition exposition exposition, further exposition, flashback, flashback..."
75* MurderTheHypotenuse: Chun Hyang tries this on Sakura.
76* OneDialogueTwoConversations:
77-->'''Kurogane:''' I did not sign up to be used as slave labour.
78-->'''Fay:''' You know, they've left us all alone together in this house
79-->'''Kurogane:''' Making us do all the work...
80-->'''Fay:''' Nobody around for miles...
81-->'''Korogane:''' Those brats and the bunny should be helping us do this
82-->'''Fay:''' Who knows what sort of dirty things could happen between two consenting adults
83-->'''Kurogane:''' Are we talking about the same thing?
84* PokemonSpeak:
85** Kusanagi.
86** Also, darn near everyone in "Miyuki Chan in Wonderland Abridged", who spend most of their time saying the word "boobs" over and over.
87* PsychoLesbian: Tomoyo. Lampshaded by Sakura:
88-->'''Sakura''': Must protect virginity from crazy lesbian!
89** Everyone in "Miyuki-chan in Wonderland Abridged" too, except ''maybe'' Miyuki herself (but then, they were this in the source material too).
90* SouthernBelle: Souma has the accent, at least.
91* StayInTheKitchen: Syaoran tells Sakura that she can't be in the fight because fighting is a man's job.
92-->'''Syaoran:''' Now go make me a sammich, woman!
93-->'''Sakura:''' Well, screw you too.
94* UnusualEuphemism:
95-->'''Fai:''' We should celebrate this later. Alone. In my bedroom. [[DontExplainTheJoke And by celebrate, I mean have—]]
96-->'''Kurogane:''' Why don't you go celebrate yourself?
97** Another example from a flashback Sakura was having:
98-->'''Touya''': Stay out of my room Sakura. Yukito and I are gonna go...study. Yeah, that sounds good.
99-->(''slams door shut, and romantic music plays in the background'')
100-->'''Touya''': Oh Yukito, [[BiggerIsBetterInBed your brain is so big!]]
101-->'''Sakura''': (''After flashback'') Oh my God...[[LateToThePunchline THEY WEREN'T STUDYING AT ALL, WERE THEY!?]]
102* YaoiFangirl: Sakura, if this dialogue is anything to go by.
103-->'''Fay''': [[OrphanedPunchline And that's]] [[BrickJoke what Kurogane and i did in the woods!]]
104-->'''Sakura''': Oh, wow. I'm going to go take a cold shower. Or three.
105* YuriFan: Nokoro and Fai both sound a little too enthusiastic to hear Tomoyo talking about [[LesYay taking off Sakura's clothes and having a pillow fight with her]]. In [[TheCasanova Nokoro's]] case this might overlap with GirlOnGirlIsHot.
