Watanuki's headphones made for some good comedy and moment the three schoolgirls turned on him made for some good horror.

Lol yeah as soon as I saw the headphones it was a "I see what you did there" moment. I don't know what it is but xxxHolic has a some kind of charm to it, I haven't been able to put my finger on it yet.

I agree!! Chobits was my favorite anime way back when (2003ish iirc), the references made me really excited!

I've seen one of those chobits headphones at a store about two years ago. but didn't have enough money to buy 'em. gah! when i came back with the money they were already gone. :/

the characters in this anime have really disproportioned small heads and really long limbs. it weirds me out. but the originality of the design is exactly what attracts me to this series.

Nice episode... The references.... the story... the Watanuki... Oh and Mokona... I really liked this episode... Full of what holic is... A big mix of horror, mystery and comedy with a slight tint of love.... Maybe a lil' bit shounen-ai-ish... but you know something? I'm not surprised of it... I'm actually okay with it... reminded me something... anyway, loved the ears "chii styled ears"... and the big snake... So kewl... never seen it as black as this time XD

Another interesting episode! I'm looking forward to where they will take it from here in regards to developing the story and characters. In a different sense, the episode was good and had a lot of character development and tie-in's with everyone. Some things are still unclear, but hopefully everything will make sense later. Looking forward to the next!

Ha when he first walked up with the headphones I thought, "hold on, was this anime made before or after chobits?" Then when the kids were reading the book, I couldn't help but lol.

Starting to like this show, wasn't sure from the first two eps.

I don't know why, but I love most episodes of different anime series that involve a Ouija board of some sort. XD (Some friends and I once tampered with one, ahah...)

I'm looking forward to where things will go from here, now that the other characters seem to be appearing more often. Also, the episode itself was entertaining and, in my opinion, a nice blend of "horror" (not scary, but yeah) and comedy.

Headphones were awesome. I have to deviate from what a few others said, though: Watanuki x Doumeki? Umm no thanks. D: I hope that doesn't develop. I'm not into shounen ai, and I was liking this series the way it was - without it.

I get the feeling that Watanuki and Doumeki will become another odd anime couple.

I don't know why, but I'm loving what I'm seeing. It has some kind of eccentricity that, even though it's silly, it comes off with the CLAMP style that keeps me interested. Also, I didn't notice the Chobits at first reference. Now I'm impressed.

That guy Doumeki cracks me up

There are plenty of things I dislike about this series: average plot so far (though I do like the subject), bad animation, main male character too hysterical, useless cutesy characters, failed attempts at humor involving the previous two. Nevertheless, I'll keep watching in case the story gets better.

I like Yuuko, her character design as well as her personality. She's mysterious, manipulative and kind of a slob.

I liked how Watanuki dislike Doumeki) It's very funny. ^^
I think it's because he's a little jealous of him and was jealous of Kunogi. And he did the complete opposite. It's so obvious)))

I can't decide if Watanuki's just kind of if he's the type of person who just can't say no.

I don't know how you guys find this funny but okay.

This show seems so much like an early Monogatari prototype.

Those headphones. I know that Chobits reference.

The plot has almost nothing that I can relate to. Other than the occasional bantering of Watanuki which is quite funny, rest is an acid trip. XXXholic really seems like it was made on drugs.I may just drop this series.

Well, I don't see why Watanuki has the hots for Himawari-chan. She is quite annoying to me and I don't know why, but she is annoying.

The mystery in question was not very interesting and intriguing, but at least for those who have not seen the movie, the role of Doumeki in history is clarified. So far the character of Watanuki has not yet had any characterization, except the few things said at the beginning of the series.

Almost everything Yuuko says is fake deep and Watanuki is such an irritating MC, the way he overreacts to everything is supposed to be the comedic part of this anime lmao? What even happened to the pathological liar from the previous episode?

Nope, I gave it 3 eps, dropped.
