Amazing episode - fourth in a row. Watanuki's comments about Doumeki were more like a confession... so sweet ((:

+ Himawari... it's always good to see her.

Next episode will introduce Kohane unfortunately,

for me xxxholiv is a masterpiece :d so every episode is wonderful
about Himawari...I think she might be Watanuki's badluck charm because often when it's trouble it starts with her and besides,even Yuuko doubts the "good" influence of Himawariover Watanuki's fate
I think the one for Watanuki is Zashiki Warashi...kinda obvious :P

Another amazing episode.
Watanuki talking to Doumeki's grandfather was cute. "We've come to rely on each other". Naww~

Anyway, that dream merchant was funny. Good old Yuuko, can't beat her.

Seeing Watanuki's eye all normal at first really frustrated me, then I realized that it would be better off not showin all the time cuz it would pull too much attention.

Although I think (haven't read it in a while) that the manga goes back to Watanuki's normal eye colour after a time.

Honestly...I didn't see the eye having the normal colour,rather than that I can say I saw it just as a darker blue or even black

YAY~! For anyone that didn't know, Ohkawa from Clamp was in charge of the script for this episode, and will be in charge of next episode as well :D

I think it was great :) The "why don't you like doumeki? xD" convo was scratched, but I think it's funny that Ohkawa turned the yumekai into a bit of a pervert! The circus-type music that played upon his arrival was awesome, too. And Yuuko sitting on Watanuki in the middle the street, priceless ^^ Have to say I also loved Haruka's (Doumeki's grandpa's) voice. I thought it fit the character to a T.

It was a really good episode im glad that Ohkawa will be doing the next one too and yeah the circus music was funny :D I was really looking forward to this episode since i read it on the manga

Haruka's voice is the same as Doumeki's he just made it sound a little different n_n

Wow! CLAMP is working on it? That's wonderful. I LOVE xxxHOLiC and it really deserves a lot of attention. So far it's perfect and I look forward to more.

This ep was great. Doumeki's grandfathers seiyuu was perfect. It was all perfect. It follows the manga so well and gives it a bit extra with the art in the background, the music and the colours. lovelovelove<3

Another awesome episode. :D xxxHOLiC has never been at its finest; Kei is following the manga so well that even my die-hard fan heart can't be disappointed in the least.

Yay, Haruka came! I've always liked him. His seiyuu was perfect -- it fit way better than whatever voice I had in my head. XD

I have the feeling that Kohane-chan's arc will be a bit smoother in the anime; or, rather, that it won't seem as long. But then again, I loved all but one or two of her chapters, so I'm excited either way. =)

Just saw the episode and it was a rather good one. It was good to see and hear the yumekai in animation – I don't know why, but I so desperately wanted to hear his Kansai accent and I wasn't disappointed. I agree with Kineta that the circus music was rather awesome and apropos to the character's entrance. I also like the scene between Haruka (Doumeki's grandfather) and Watanuki – it was rather well done.

In any case, I look forward to the next episode! I can't wait to see Kohane animated. =)

yeah, i agree! at one point, i think yuuko said something about the shop "preparing for the future" in reference to watanuki.

i love the new series, maybe even better than the original!

The Dream Buyer was pretty cool. Nice to see that someone from CLAMP was in charge for the script; it was another brilliant episode.

Now, how long will it take me to watch the next episode, or the entire Kohane arc for that matter...

Mishicorp subs are good too. =O

And I know it's a bit late for this... but I love the OP songs for this series! (including first season) >w<

~ Watanuki's so cute when he's pissed at Doumeki.
~ The Dream Buyer thingie.... it was cute. Liek a carny. xD
~ I wish we got to see Doumeki's chibi face! Liek in the kimono and stuff! =3
~ Watanuki looked evil near the end.
~ The eggplant thing was hilarious!!!

Haha yeah that's what I thought from the first season. I'm pretty sure we're right.

I love this show so much. I like that Watanuki finally pretty much confessed that he liked Doumeki (as a friend, LOL), or at least that he cared about him somewhat.

<3<3<3

Too bad we didn't get to see the Oden foxes!!

And I wanted to really know what was up with that picture!

The thing that I most enjoyed about this episode, and about Kei in general, is that the art style has become more adventurous. It's really starting to inject its own sense of style in the presentation. The scene where Himawari is recounting her dream to Watanuki was much more involved than almost anything we saw in the first season.

I liked how Yuuko swiped some of the balloons as though they were a brokers fee for helping Watanuki sell the arrow, haha.

He only lost his sight when he gave his eye away. The iris stayed the same color. The change was only for effect.

And that damn Mokona. Always knows how to ruin a moment. Gotta love that little... whatever he is.

I enjoyed this a lot. The beginning was very funny, Watanuki's voice actor does an awesome job! And the rest was pretty interesting...
I think I'll enjoy this season most than the first one, as they're focusing on the main characters.

It's clear that there's something odd about Himawari. First it was her book and now her Dream.
I wonder what's next ?? That dream buyer was cool though.
