| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I just saw it RAW. I understood like 50%. I realized something frightening did I might not have been able to see until this episode. Does anyone who watched this from the beginning think that Himawari is a shadow that wants to drag Watanuki???? I always suspected there was something funny the way things reacted with her around. I still wonder if the Darkness wants to drag him because the parents have been dragged or cause of his involvement??? |
 |
| Himiwari is just a normal human who gives bad luck to people. Also no Syaoran = fail. :( |
 |
| its unfortunate that someone so nice would be cursed with such a fate.... and the price.....was just too much. but then that just proves watanuki's current worth. this also explains why she never ever did anything with him no matter what he asked. |
| Poor Watanuki... This was a good ep though. (And I could listen to Doumeki and Haruka talk all day, lol) I feel bad for Himawari. She's really not a bad person! :( The last couple eps should be good. |
   |
| I just saw it subbed. Usually people with such fate have sinned somehow either in the present life or in the past but somehow have to do their attonment on earth. Remember in this anime there are no coincidence but the inevitable. Bad karma does also this should you have another reincarnation. This is like the 2nd or 3rd time Watanuki gets saved by Haruka. You all don't think Himawari payed with her life? Too bad Watanuki does not know any magic, cause I know some that could save Himawari and I wonder what Doumeki paid as price apart from that eye. Ore Mahotsukai! Ja ne! |
|
| Himawari is so awesome!!! I love how they animated this, though I almost choked when I heard Yuuko say only two people paid the price. Syoran anyone? I mean, that's like BIG part of holic mystery. And I just love when Doumeki is being all seme. And Watanuki being all uke. I thought I'll have the heart attack from all the sweetness in first half of the episode. Anyways, Himawari is most definitely not bad. In any way. If anything, she's like uber strong and sweet. I hope next episode will have some Doumeki/Watanuki touching moments. I live to see those animated. |

| Oh wow. Amazing episode! I was breathless all through the second half. Everything was perfect: the slow buildup of the first half; the sudden shattering of the window and Himawari's scream; the music; and, in particular, the seiyuus. Himawari's especially did a magnificent job. sanjica said: I hope next episode will have some Doumeki/Watanuki touching moments. I live to see those animated. QFT~ :D |
     |
| This episode was pretty good. What really caught my interest was the preview and Himawari's reaction. Can't wait for the next episode! :D |
 |
sanjica said: I hope next episode will have some Doumeki/Watanuki touching moments. I live to see those animated. ^QFT (again!) I'm so happy with the way that they animated this. I thought they had the whole atmosphere there. My only complaint is that they didn't include Syaoran, kind of expected that though :\ Poor Himawari, although it was this arc that made her one of my favorite characters. That girl is incredibly strong and I thought that the three of them got alot closer thanks to this arc. BTW, what's with the awful reviews? I think this series completely OWNS the first one. |
 |
| I loved this episode<3 (They did it so well!) I can already feel how much I'm gonna miss xxxHOLiC again once Kei is over ;___; |
 |
| Wow, that's the best mystery episode I've seen in a while. Great suspense and cliffhanger at the end, and the pacing was just right. LolitaDecay said: BTW, what's with the awful reviews? I think this series completely OWNS the first one. Yes by far :) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| This was one of the best episodes, without a doubt. Well it was also a great part of the manga, but it's great to see it brilliantly adapted The pace, the mood, everything feels just right...It's a pretty tense episode and a perfect cliffhanger in the end Moreover in the last minutes Himawari-chan's art is so beautiful! She seems awsome with that dark look in her eyes Poor girl, doomed to bring bad luck to those around her... I adore her. When I was reading I always suspected there had to be something going on. She just couldn't be that innocent I love Haruka, he's that wise character and has an aura like he's the elder, even though he looks so young. It's kinda cool |
 |
| i was thinking himawri might be evil all along. and at the end of that ep i was lik WOOO I WAS RIGHT!! ah but reading some of these comments, not so sure now :S...ah well, i shall wait and see, last eps sud b gd! |

| Himawari-chan isn't evil :3 |
|
| Wow, great episode! I can't deny the fact that Himawari seemed pretty mean at the end, she doesn't seem to get much better for the next episode either! |
  |
| Himawari is . . . D< our enemy or friend? |
     |
| Holy crap, I need catch up with the manga. |
 |

I think this series completely OWNS the first one. Watanuki's eye colour Kohane entering the shop without a wish and not losing her power Only 1 egg Well water wasn't for Tokyo Only two payed Watanuki's price No Shoaran No Sakura |

traed said: she acted like she did it on purpose >< she did act... but even though it isn´t like the manga, it is an excelent series so far!! this episode is one of the best |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode, hopefully the last two get subbed soon. |

 |
| I just finished watching this episode and I'm somewhat glad with the results. It is one of the better episodes in recent history and the beginning of one of my favourite arcs. Like always, I wasn't too thrilled with the idea that there was no reference to Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE or about Syaoran's payment on Watanuki's behalf. As always, I like the Watanuki-Doumeki and the Watanuki-Himawari interactions. I also enjoyed the Watanuki-Haruka conversation, but I think that I like the manga version better. I was also quite surprised to see Kohane popping up, mainly because her arc seemed to be concluded in the anime, but it does further enforce the point that Kohane is not Watanuki's "goddess of luck". Looking forward to the next episode! =) |
 |
| Wow... what a serious episode. I'm starting to hate Himawari more.... but for some reason I feel sorry for her. (prolly cause of the episode preview) But I wanna know what she IS. They better tell us soon before I claw my head off. T_T Is it just me or did her voice change at the end of the episode? |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Great episode, Himawari-chan is become scary D: |
 |
| So many people talking about some Syaoran and I don't even know who he is. Well, I think that's not bad, because anime made in such way people who didn't read the manga would understand. And that's good, because I think, if you watch, for example, Tsukihime, you won't understand half of the things if you didn't play original visual novels, because there are even more crossovers. And xxxHOLiC is just good anime anyway. |
| You guys are spoiling this for me without saying anything specific. Everything about Himawari "not being bad" and being "cursed" and she "gets closer" to everyone. We just got a sinister ending that suggests that Himawari might have impure motivations, and y'all are totally ruining it. |
 |
| Cool episode! 5/5 Well, Himawari is.. she evil or what? Also, I wanna see Syaoran as much as the rest of you guys. Sad when he fell out the window 0-0 |

I've yet to watch Tsubasa and I know that! I thought everyone knew.. oh well. |
|
| It bothers me how she asked if he finally noticed.. |
 |
| Aww I wanna know what the price was.... |
| This episode left me O_O But it was bound to happen. |
 |
| Dafuq that ending O_O |
 |
| All I can say is what the hell?! Must watch next episode, I need answers. |
 |
| Haha always suspected that smile. Great episode. |
 |
| I really like the concept of Doumeki's grandfather frequently appearing in watanuki's dream. The Episode was Great can't wait for the next one. |
 |
| Why would Himawari even want to touch or be around people when she knows she's the harbinger of bad luck? I wish I could ask this question to CLAMP directly. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |

| It's been 7 years, I thought it was the grandma from s1 that caused him to fall from the window Himawari has always been preserved as precious in my memory. Thank you rewatch |
