TRC - How can I be depressed and excited at the same time!?
I've recently come to the conclusion that I'm getting tired of the TRC fandom. It's just getting too damn crazy; I miss the days when KuroFay fans were sane, when we'd spend hours fangirling over the crossover characters, when bashing didn't happen (well, FayChii fans bashed Hideki but I'm not sure if he counts since he's not in TRC yet), etc.
Right now it's much more fun simply talking about the series with people on my flist (lurkers out there, now's the time to friend me), since I can avoid the actual fandom and it's craziness.
Most fans are currently predicting that Nihon will be the next world. I disagree but I dread what will happen when they actually go there. I can just see it now, the KuroFay fans bashing Tomoyo because she's close to Kurogane and the KuroTomo fans' hyperactive squees over how their ship is "canon" and about how much Kurogane and Tomoyo are "in love". Ugh.
Moving on to happier TRC talk (since I still do love the series even though the fandom is driving me insane)...
Last night I mentioned on TC.net why I thought next could return to the sexy foursome subplot. And came up with the following reasons:
1) It's been over a year now since the last time we visited that that subplot, which means enough time has passed so no one can complain "aww... did we just see these guys!" and yet it's still pretty fresh in everyone's mind.
2) Storyline wise a few worlds have passed now since Acid Tokyo, which means enough time in the plot has passed so it doesn't seem like we're getting it back-to-back.
3) CLAMP is going to want to finish that subplot before they start moving towards the end of the story which is probably soon. Besides the subplot, the most important parts of the story left are dealing with clone, finding out Syaoran's past, finding out Syaoran's relationship with Watanuki and stopping FWR. Finishing the subplot first makes the most sense since all those other ones are related to Syaoran.
4) It'll give the group time to rest since Seishirou and Kamui can battle it out over Subaru.
And today I thought of a 5th reason why the subplot could return soon if not next.
Currently we're on Vol 21 of the series. The OVAs get released with Vol 21, 22 and 23. Now besides the main group (who don't count since they're always around), who stars in the OVAs? That's right Kamui, Subaru and Fuuma! Therefore it makes sense that at some point during vols 21-23 we'll get the return/conclusion of that subplot.

I really don't understand why so many people think Nihon will be next. It doesn't make sense to me both logically and story-wise. Nihon is rather like feudal Japan, I'd imagine the best way they'd have to fix Kurogane's wound would be to cauterize it...which isn't pretty. They need another transition world first.
I agree that the subplot is probably going to come back up, that splash page wasn't thrown in there for no reason. There's so many lose ends to be tied up still. o_o
I banged my head a bit when one poster thought they'd have to go back to Tokyo for a continuation of the X!subplot, way to go for not noticing they can dimension hop. D:

The X subplot may not be next but I still say it'll happen at some point between vols 21-23. I'd laugh if the story jumped back to Sakura though since everyone hates her.
The person who thought they had to return to Tokyo for the subplot to continue also made me bang my head against the wall. The twins and Fuuma mentioned they were leaving at the end of the arc. Talk about not paying attention.
