i think this episode was good! the emphasizing of the relationship between watanuki & doumeki is always a plus point XD. especially when doumeki tried to look for the solution to get back watanuki's eye and watanuki prepared food for him. it was damn funny when he lied that they were leftovers. lolx ^ ^

Those two guys have the strangest friendship, but Doumeki plugging his ears never gets old.

This was another great episode and the continuation of this entertaining arc. Watanuki's eye is getting crazier. Yuko FTW!

Great episode, that makes the second in a row, and my expectations are rising for this show, I liked the first season too but I think that kei is a big improvement thanks to a less episodic yet darker scenario.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

lol watanuki's attitude is far too random but its always to the point and where it needs to be. even when hes being stupid, it serves its purpose.

Yuko can be sooo sexy though. that outfit is just too hot. even for an animated character.

i think its about time they explained watanuki's place and his purpose. hes supose to be some important famous person in the "spirit" world or whatever but they never say why.

Indeed, Yuko was so hot this episode, in all her outfits (I personally go for her street clothes, probably because its more of a rarity). Well, these first few episodes have been going as planned, nothing really different from the manga that I can recall (but I really wasn't paying that much attention for the details).

Another awesome episode. The Doumeki/Watanuki interaction is great, and I love how protective the Karasutengu are over the Vestal Sprite.

Is it too much to hope that Watanuki dies and Yuuko becomes the main character of this series? ^^

Interesting, though, after watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, I noticed that the Vestal Sprite is actually a "Zashiki Warashi" - I was kind of confused why they were drawing from greek mythology in the first series, but now it makes a lot more sense.

I was getting confused because in the actual manga they just refer to it as a Zashiki Warashi. Ah well.

Great episode, I'm really enjoying this arc. I wonder what this lesson that Watanuki needs to learn is and what he's going to do about his eye...
Doumeki and Watanuki moments! I'm loving it.

Don't hold your breath :S The manga hasn't even explained that yet. When we find that out, I think the series will be over.

Me as well.

I'd forgotten about the book worm! I think they're doing a fantastic job with this one. Looking forward to next ep :D

Watanuki is just tsundere when it comes to Doumeki. Everybody sees it, that's why they tease him. Always raging at his face, but then making him food and looking out for him (saved him several times now)... very stereotypical tsundere behaviour.

xxxhoic:Kei placed slightly more emphasis on the comedy while still maintaining the supernatural feel. No complain from me about that though.

I especially liked that Code Geass reference Watanuki made in the earlier scene. Heck he even sounded like Zero in the later half of the refence/parody both are voiced by the same seiyu)

Wacthing Watanuki being tsundere was fun too.

not gonna happen any time soon (we'd all love to know)

another great episode (((:
though watanuki's behavior is a little exaggerated in anime... i like emo watanuki way more than overly cheery watanuki
well he'll get emo soon enough
preview for next epi looks great that are some of my favorite manga chapters

I liked this episode better than the first one for this season.

No you yaoi fangirls, Watanuki and Doumeki is not going to happen romanticly no matter how much you want it lol

I wonder if Himawari is like evil or some really bad luck thing or whatever, probably is. I never liked her much anyway, she is such a ditz.

That cat girl is pretty cute X3 And yeah the vestal sprite is cute too and will show up next episode obviously, yay ^^ cant wait, well ok I can wait but if its longer than a week I will be pissed a little lol XD

I just finished watching this episode and I rather enjoyed it!

Like most, I really like the camaraderie between Doumeki and Watanuki – it's rather funny watching funny man Watanuki against straight man Doumeki. While the bookworm was an interesting watch to see animated, I am far more excited for next episode, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Zashiki-warashi. =)

Totally agree! I would like to know too! The suspense is killing me!

If the opening sequence is any indication, you will eventually find out what Himawari truly is. =P

Woaaaaah.... duude.... beginning of episode when Watanuki-"sama" went to visit Doumeki... is it just me... or was that a total Tamaki (Ouran High School Host Club) move?? o_o

YAY!! I love Shinsen subs!!! (watched the first one with subs by oher peoples.... biiig difference)

WOAH!!! 3 episode arc!!! New xxxHolic record!
Poor Zashiki-Warashi... I think I can guess what she did... T___T

I can't wait to see how this arc will end. *on edge of seat* O_____O!!!

Oh and I hope they eventually tell us WTH Himawari actually is... I was waiting for that all first season! ;_;

I wonder why, if Yuuko knows that Himawari is evil or such, she would let Watanuke hang out with her all the time..


...then again, she does have this 'People can wish for strange things, even things that will harm them" , and she grants even some of those wishes too is the implication.

I love this arc. I loved XXXHolic so much, but I'm actually thinking XXXHolic Kei is an even better series so far.

I, too, cannot wait to discover the truth about Himawari. It should be coming up soon, I think..

First off I have to say Yuko is as gorgeous as ever... and looks like Himawari might be some sort of bad luck charm/evil (maybe that's too much). Like someone else mentioned I like how this season has a bit darker atmosphere to it or more so than the first season... and of course Yuko (again).

But anyway, cool episode, and I also see the bonds between episodes became stronger in Kei.

An even better episode and even more questions come to light. What is Himawari really? How was this lady's capture Watanuki's fault and what is it Yuuko wants him to learn? Not everything can be fixed or something?

We need more anime like this.

The cat girl is actually wearing a uniform from the high school in Ukishima in Blood-C.

Pretty strange since that high school wouldn't be founded untill at least a decade or so after xxxHolic Kei.
