I don't recognize any of the voices, and looking them up on ANN's Encyclopedia didn't pull up almost anything I've seen the cast in, and Sakura's voice seems to be a complete newcomer, unless it's a pseudonym. I wonder how similar she'll sound to the old Sakura.
Well, if i got the manga right (And judging from your name, you are quite the clamp lover yourself
) the Sakura (as well as the other characters) from XXX and TRC are actually different people then the people in CCS, MKR, etc...
I see it as less "completely different people" and more like "alternate-dimension analogues." They're not the exact same person, (and actually might meet a version of themselves in some dimension in the future) but each version shares the same basic physical characteristics. Sakura should still sound like the eternally cheerful innocent girl she is, just with the few years of age difference between her CCS-version and her TRC-version.

Chi just has a very small part in the first tsubasa. You know how in Card Captor Sakura the name of the cards were clow cards. Well now Sakura's the princess of a kingdom called Clow. I personally like that idea. I don't know if that answered your question or not. Sorry if I didn't.
Not quite. TRC is the first "ressurrection" of a major character that CLAMP has done, though their art style makes many of their characters look very similar (for example, Lantis from MKR and Touya from CCS). Since TRC and xxxHolic are multi-dimensional crossovers in a major anniversary year (CLAMP's 15th anniversary was in 2004), they're both a big opportunity to revisit their older works in a completely new light. They've always done little things (having characters eat at the Duklyon Cafe, Kero reading an Angelic Layer strategy guide in CCS, etc.), but Chobits was the first time one of their series was so tightly linked to another (X and CLAMP School Detectives did have some links, but not to the extent of Chobits and Angelic Layer). TRC takes that linking and sends it to a whole new level, which I especially enjoy, given I've read almost all of the earlier work and can see most of the references.
is it really that good?
