Synopsis

Kimihiro Watanuki is a high school student plagued by ayakashi spirits, both of which are invisible to everyone else but him. The series begins when Watanuki stumbles, seemingly by chance, into a shop that grants wishes. The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a mysterious witch of many names and esoteric renown. For a price, she offers to grant Watanuki's wish to be rid of the spirits. The price, according to Yūko, must be of equal value; so, as payment, he must become Yūko's temporary, part-time cook and housekeeper.

Reviews

Irishchatter I know this anime is part of the mid 2000s but the animation I thought, was a bit ugly and unflattering to look at. It made my watching experience really uneasy so I wasn't able to focus properly to wanting to watch more. I have to say out of being nice, Yuko out of all the characters, was pretty much the most likeable one. She seems to want to get s*it done but she does it in a sexy clever kind of way and always does her best to taunt the boy lol Yeah I know I'm not making sense on that very last sentence but that's how I see her lol.Also adding to being even more nice, the humour was actually pretty funny. With the animation and sorta the storyline not being the best for me this time, it didn't do a bad job in adding some cracking jokes in there. The storyline I felt was pretty much off for me because it just didn't seem original in a sense where it needed to stop making this anime to be known as a dark comedy, but rather as a serious drama film like e.g. Parasyte. This is just my own takeaway on this anime series. I know I do have a weird nonsense opinion but hey that's just how I roll dudes lol
hoshixetsuma I loved this anime I remember watching this as a teenager. I really like the art work it's different and unique, I haven't come across another anime like this. The story line is very good all the characters have funny and quirky personalities. Highly recommended.
judahchandra I started watching Xxxholic last week and it is safe to say that I am not disappointed. It has similarities to Du Ra Ra as the viewer is submerged into a world of spirits and stuff that ordinary people do not get the chance to take part in. It contains pearls of wisdom for viewers through Yuuko's narration and embodies themes of friendship, trust, and adventure. Whilst it is undoubtedly slower compared to the likes of One piece or Bleach, the pace allows for a more reflective audience and a plot of self-discovery that will warm your heart. Overall: An anime I would be sure to recommend especially for those who want a slower paced but meaningful anime.
Tweekums I started watching this series on Funimation's YouTube channel but before I'd finished I bought the DVDs as I was enjoying it so much. The series follows Watanuki; a high school student who has always been haunted by dark spirits; that is until he comes across a strange shop run by Yuko. It isn't an ordinary shop; this shop is where people's wishes can come true… for a price. The price Watanuki pays is that he ends up working at the shop that in turn means he gets involved in the lives of other people who go there. Some of the people who go there manage to have their wishes granted and can get on with their lives; others are less fortunate as they can't tell the truth about what they truly want.This series was a lot of fun with great characters; enjoyable stories and a very distinctive look to it. The characters are all drawn in a way that makes them look very tall and thin; this somehow adds to the atmosphere of the show. The episodes are mostly stand-alone stories that vary in tone from dark, where people might die to the more comic where events are played for laughs. More often than not the amusing scenes involve Shizuka Domeki; a boy who Watanuki seems to need but dislikes. If you have yet to see this series from Studio Clamp than I recommend checking it out.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
