xxx Holic


the most spiritual anime I've seen. xxx holic made me believe in fate. It's a great combination of humor, mystery- a lot of mystery, different beliefs, superstition and a tinge of horror. Literally every part of every episode had a deep or hidden meaning that can be revealed during the same episode or even at the end of the season. This anime will really teach you that there are no coincidences.

This anime is kind of special, its bears a very close link to another anime called, 'Tsubasa Chronicles' or 'Chronicles Of The Wings' and is very slightly linked to 'Card Captor Sakura'. And the three story lines merge in such a way it'll blow your mind!


The story line is mainly about this boy 'Watanuki' who was born with a strong spirit and can see ghosts. Unfortunately his parents die when he's young, and he grows up living alone in an apartment, generally getting help from his neighbors. Due to this he is a very responsible person- with a great talent in cooking. one day he meets 'Yuko', a witch who run's a shop that grants wishes to people who deny their fate. She see's his abilities and starts to prepare him for a greater task that the future hold for him. He likes a girl, who apparently has a bad spirit, but is good in person. He also had a friend with a bloodline of exorcists and priests. These two play an important role in the story. Every event that takes place in the anime, the people he meets, his involvement with Yuko's customers, the spirits he talk's to all prepare him for the future, which he is clueless about. So what his future hold? how do his two friends make a difference? what happens to him in the middle of all this? What exactly does Yuko have in store for him? watch the anime and find out!


the drawbacks are simply that you need to pay attention to everything that's happening in the anime and try not to miss any episodes to completely understand everything, don't get me wrong, its all easy to understand, just it takes time.

i give the anime a 9/10. it may just change your belief's.
