I liked this episode less than the previous ones, but it was still good with a bit of character development with Haruka and Watanuki. Oh and Himawari of course.

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

when will watanuki realize that himawari is essentially bad luck to him?she has never directly agreed to do anything with him he asks her and yet when she asks him hes never able to.

also the end felt like they rushed it, like they wanted to say or do more but ran out of itme....

This episode was a bit boring, though it was still interesting. Hopefully the next one will be better...

So they're planning on doing Kohane arc before Himawari one. I guess that was to be expected considering how Himawari arc is one of the strongest arcs in story, still they'll have some troubles with placing of Kohane arc... though it won't really matter since Tsubasa parts are excluded, anyways...

Animation in this episode was a bit sucky - also drawing were pretty bad. However Yuuko out fits were awesome, and I especially lover purple dress (around third bell).

I think this is the worst episode so far. Sigh. Hope it picks up for the conclusion.

I guess I agree, if I had to pick one. Not that I didn't enjoy it or anything, but still.

Yuuko's assortment of outfits was enough to make me enjoy this episode.
Although the past two episodes haven't been quite as good as the rest of the season.
I'm still enjoying it though.

Another decent episode in this series, it's not the best, but it was mildly enjoyable nevertheless. In this episode, I really like the interaction between Watanuki and Doumeki's grandfather, Haruka and of course the principal trio.

Now that you mention it, you're right. I mean besides the Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE gang, Doumeki], and of course Watanuki, most of Yuuko's clients are women. Huh, I never realised that – thanks for sharing! =)

Looking forward to the next episode – I hope they get better. =)

This episode reminded me a bit of The Others for obvious reasons if people know the movie.

I love twists like that and encourage them more often! 4/5

After the slightly disappointing previous episode this was a nice change... surprised to see people not enjoy this episode as much.

People didn't like this episode, but I thought it was better than the last two episodes at least. Seeing the girl freaked out at the people moving her furniture and walking around was fun.

But all in all, the season still hasn't won me back over. Seems I'll be rating this lower than the first season unless they really do something exciting and eye-catching and thoughtful to close this out.

Yuuko granted that girl's wish in a very twisted perspective. That was unusual.
The Episode was good btw.

Not a fan of this roundabout way of solving the case.. Yuuko is being too literal about the wish.

I really enjoy xxxHOLiC, but the body design of the characters just grates on my nerves. It's awful! Thank goodness the arcs are good.
