I'm horribly impatient, too, so I went RAW as well.

I'll reiterate my previous comment: I like. I like a LOT.

The adaptation is very true to the manga, though we'll see how true that holds later in the series.

I'm a huge fan of big, bombastic music, so I loved the music here. It reminded me more of Noir than .hack//SIGN, though. I agree with angel that the animation was very good, but not mind-blowing, though the character designs looked like they got stretched coming out of Avenger. It's not a bad look and is true to the manga, but it takes a bit of getting used to.

The voice acting is very good as well, though it also takes some getting used to (especially since I watched the second CCS movie just last night). Shaoran actually took me less getting used to than Sakura did, for some reason. Kurogane's voice does rock, but Fai seems a little too light for his character. We'll see how he sounds later, when he has more lines. The other returning characters are quite good, especially Tomoyo, who sounds exactly like I would expect her to five or ten years after CCS. Touya's and Sohma's are so close to their originals, I'm almost certain they got the original actors back for the roles. And Mokona's voice (who does the preview) is also just great.
One further, possibly spoiler voice wrote:Yuuko's voice is also absolutely excellent. She nails the not-quite-cold, mysterious powerful being voice perfectly. I can't wait to hear Watanuki and Maro/Moro.
Response to angel's spoiler wrote:He's supposed to have that tatoo, remember? It's his magical symbol that becomes his payment to Yuuko.

Just watched it, and I love it!

The only thing I have to pout about is that Megumi Ogata and Seki Tomokazu didn't do the voice of Yukito and Touya. But I suppose it's not that big of a deal, considering that everybody has a different voice.

One thing I did notice - didn't Tomoyo put a curse on Kurogane right before she sent him away? I don't think that was mentioned at all.

Series is awesome, but it's proof that the CLAMP staff is on crack
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to Death
Nor known to Life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, unlimited blade works.

It's not fair. I wanna see, but I can't get a hold of it! I wish I still lived in Virginia... then I could bug Kyle for it.
What graphics I have been able to find, though, lead me to believe that I'll like the anime. The preview Angel gave us just makes me want to see it more. You're all lucky. I have to wait until it comes out in the US. Ech. *pouts*
I've done it! I've invented a way to repair the ozone! Now I just have to figure out what my name is so I can get credit for it!

That reminds me a lot of my first post :P

BTW, does anyone know how many manga volumes there are?
