The first two-episode-arc of xxxHOLIC!

This episode was a lot more slow paced than the rest, and the end left me a little confused. I'll have to watch 15 later tonight and see what Yuuko means by "waves".

New ED is alright song-wise, video-wise it is quite funny.

I'm not used to the art yet but that doesn't matter,I think I'll give the anime at least a 9 for now. I love it how they leave us at a cliffhanger :o
The new ending was cool! ^.^

I like the ed video just not as much as the first one, good episode, leaves questions and a good cliffhanger. The younger sister is quite inconsiderate.

At first I was kinda disappointed when the ending began, but after, I understood it was 2-ep-arc, that's intersting.

The movie was a recreation of one of CLAMP's early works, a light novel project between Nanase Ohkawa and Mokona Apapa called Yumegari. It was published in 1996, ran for two chapters and was never completed. It's definitely an easter egg for die-hard CLAMP enthusiasts (like myself, XD) since it was so short-lived.

Maru and Moro air-guitar! So cute! And Mokona singing with that voice! XD

Heeeeeh... Really? Never really heard of it... I'm actually surprised cause I'm a die-hard fan of CLAMP.... Oh well Oldies are oldies nonetheless....

Oh what a epi.... the first one of a pair, finally we got two episodes for an arc of the manga... I dont actually remember too well that arc but man that poor older twin sister sure has her issues... She pretty much blocks out herself and makes herself less than her younger sis.... Dunno why but bothof them are beautiful, yet the older one is not confident of herself... if it werent for the chains in which she binds herself then she would be pretty much like her sister... yet... Oh well.. I wonder what'll happen next time...

Lol the scene in which Himawari asks Watanuki his plans and suddenly Doumeki walks into the scene and pretty much tells her that Watanuki made up the plan to go out eith the twins... and not just a pair of high school girls but college girls, well that one was funny XD...

The new ending is awesome... Well it's a song (Kagerou) by BUCK-TICK, a really good j-rock band... it's one of the veterans, and better than the lastly created ones IMO The animation was great as well... I prefer seeing Maru and Moro Air-guitaring than Mokona sleeping and dancing like a desperate freak hahahaha

Same. x: I like Mokona a lot though so that explains it for me... The animation in this ED is really great though, and the video is more interesting than the first.

The cliffhanger was so evil! But the episode as a whole was great, I thought, even if it may have seemed "slow" at some parts. As for the art... I don't like it, but I like the anime and its story and characters enough to overlook it - at least for the time being. XD I just can't help but think it doesn't do the original art justice...

Weird episode. A little confusing, as well. Guessing it will all be cleared up in the next episode. Looking forward to the next!

yet another superlatively great episode - the bonds we can place upon ourselves and others with just words is truly scary - we create our own realities in this dream called life - be careful what you say and what you believe about yr.self and others...

if you found this episode boring, yr. obviously watching the wrong show! the truly great thing about xxxholic is the way it allows the plot time to develop and the mood to envelope you - truly a life-changing experience - if yr. on the right wavelength - if not, why bother to watch????

That was a pretty good episode, but I'm kind of disappointed in Watanuki's lack of action. I feel like the older sister is calling out to him and he just sits and watches, but maybe he can't hear/see everything we can.

The ED was so cute!

The older sister is such a downer. I wonder if it's really her personality or there's something weird going on.
