Universal studios is trying to buy the rights to make a live-action adaptation of Clover... I can't really see it as live action I would love to see an animated movie, but unless it was done amazingly I don't think a live-action film (made in North America not even in Japan) would do a very good job of capturing this manga's essence...
This manga was just so unusual and oddly formatted that I really just had no idea what to make of it. It was alright, but I think it needed at least a little comic relief. That's just me though. Maybe comic relief would have ruined the serious tone.
This is stunning and haunting...the older animation quality and the muted colors actually add to the atmosphere of lonliness and mental pains the manga gave us in the form of its tiny panels. It's no massive thrill ride, but in itself, Clover is a dark , impactful story of trying acheiving happiness that may seem all but futile, which occurs for most of the cast...and it's beautiful.
Ha, I think this was the only manga in which I cried while/after reading... Then I decided to watch this to take a rest and and it made me cry even more XD That voice is just... Abysmal. ;___;
This is stunning. I only discovered Clover a month or so ago, and I completely fell in love. It is heartbreakingly beautiful - not just the artwork, but the story and characters. I really hope CLAMP gets a chance to explore that world more. This small video is absolutely perfect, and captures the tone of the manga perfectly. I love it. I can't stop watching. Thank you so so much for uploading this!
As far as I am aware this was the only animation work "Clover" ever received, something I find surprising considering most of CLAMP's other mangas have been made into animes. Maybe, one day, it will be made into a full blown anime. Lets cross our fingers and hope, ne? If not, this is enough for now.... maybe... ^_^
I think the length of the series might be the reason Clover was never adapted into an anime. Its 4 rather slim volumes long, and the major story arc is completed in the first two volumes. Can you imagine how much filler they would have to write in to make this a series? I think I prefer just this little video adaptation. The animation is high quality, and the quality would certainly suffer if stretched into a series.
Perhaps an OVA then. I agree with you saying that the quality would suffer if stretched into a longer anime. But with OVA episodes the story line would not have to be altered at all, and could simply show more of the story shown in the manga within a 23 min or so time span. Also you could get more of the back stories shown in the big one vol. re-release version of clover that was simply everything clamp ever did clover related compiled into one volume.
Hey guys - there's now an omnibus edition of this manga been released this year (mine came last week) the singer of this is the same as the raxephon ending, so if you look that up you should be able to find the song
if anyone would like the music to clover i have it because i pretty much stripped the audio from the amv so again if anyone wants the music from clover give me a message
I worship this manga. I see it as more than manga. It was my first manga, and it'll always be my first love. Thank you so much for putting up this video! The song is beyond words.
I liked it, it was very nice! I thought it was very pretty I had saved it to my groups. *Shining Wizard!* Ha, take that for the Canadian Destroyer!(You should know who this is now) ^_^
four volumes...... in 6 mins 32 seconds.... and it's great too. Clamp is amazing! and the song is so haunting and sad, way sadder then i imagined! wow!
I believe CLAMP does this on purpose! ^^ well it is a good thing for a person to watch a video and suddenly get interested in reading the manga.... that's exactly how i started reading Wish...
any way the vids are supposed to be teasers right?
Ohh, now that I saw this video, I'm interested in reading the manga ^_^ I do love CLAMP, Magic Knight Rayearth is my favorite out of all of their works. Didn't care for the song to much, but it gives me an idea on what the mood is for this series. Thanks for putting this up ^_^
Yeah. This vid was pretty sad. But...I LOVE CLAMP!! They make the best anime in the history of anime! Like CCS, TC, MKR, Chobits, Angelic Layer, Tokyo Bablyon, Clamp in Wonderland, and many, MANY more. But some of the nes I just said, I haven't seen them. But I've at least seen the openings. n_n Clover's sad. Wonder what happens. ;b

i really love this! I've longed to see Suu come to life ever since i finished the manga. now she is!!! too bad she died...
i know this was just a "special production" and all, but it would still be amazing if the were secretly planning an anime adaption!!
