Yuuko was always awesome... but who would have thought she could be so cute as well at that ending scene. X3
I never expected this, and I loved every single bit.

I mostly only loved the parts with the Zashiki-warashi, so I was terribly depressed for about the rest of the episode. =[

This 2nd episode was great. Both calm and funny. Watanuki as always.
The dream he was in was interesting. I'm also curious about Yuuko and her wish.
I still need to watch xxxHolic-Kei.

Love the relaxed music in this episode. So Watanuki is also another Syaoran?

Ame Warashi with her hair as it should be, haha. Zashikiwarashi was once again cute, but what I liked the most was Yuuko's expression near the end.

Same here. :)

Once I read that part in the manga and seeing her reaction when Watanuki said that. I couldn't grasp the right words when I saw it finally animated. It definitely made this OVA great to me.

Now, can we get more details on the new OVA now?

Great episode once again, excellent direction, script, character development etc... Still, I'm strongly against the big idea behind all of Clamp's stories that everything is destined and people are like pawns of Fate. Plus it makes their characters look stupid on screen since they can't do anything to resolve their problems and are forced to wait for their creator (hum, Clamp?) do all the work for them. Only Yuuko is above all the other characters usually, but this time, she felt unexpectedly "human".

I expected that it would end this way and it's practically set up for another season/OVA. The reason I say this is because there is a lot of unused story from the manga and someone that is watching the anime adaption exclusively will be completely left out/confused as all hell.

Also PandaPuff your right a lot of the scenes in the OVA were altered from the manga like the scene with Syaoran and Sakura was slightly different... there is probably more that was changed but that's all that comes to mind right off.

Well... this second part was OK. its much better the first part. But I like the part when sakura says that Shaoran and Sakura are very similar. Some little clues about Watanuki origins.

It was Ok.. Didn't expect much from it.
Some scene were changed. But I'm fine with that and I like it that they follow the TRUE character design (Ame-Warashi hair and Watanuki eye)

Anyway, hope there would be continuation.

I completely agree, she definitely felt "human" right there. I love her moment with Watanuki, it was excellent.

I also love that Doumeki stayed by his side the entire time, without eating, without leaving. I love their unspoken relationship.

The ova, in general, was decent. The art is exceptional but these two didn't move me like the series did. Or like the first TRC ova did...man, those blew my mind away.

Well, this was great. I was waiting for this part of the story to be animated, especially the scene with Yuuko's wish. Well, I have a shit-load of reading to do, I already bought the first 6 volumes of Tsubasa.....then onto the anime.

Shunmuki didn't exactly follow the manga. I don't remember the manga showing Watanuki and Doumeki searching for clues in the shrine. And more could've been done with the hugging scene IMO(I practically stopped breathing when I saw Yuuko and Watanuki embracing each other in the manga). The scene where Watanuki met Ame Warashi and Zashiki Warashi was altered as well. But over all xxxHolic is as great as ever! <3

What i don't understand is why does it say that in Tsubasa Shunraiki, Yuuko claims that the price payed to let Syaoran, Fai and Kuro-pon find where Sakura is, was Watanuki's memories and is already payed yet in XxxHOLiC Shunmuki Yuuko still says that the price has been payed yet Watanuki still has his memories? Does anyone know why this is? Or am i just missing something?

Great OVA, just like whole xxx.
Watanuki, well, slow reflexes, because after two season, got considerate of Yuuko and asked her about her wish. It was such a lovely scene!
Also, Doumeki staying by Watanuki's side for hours when he was unconscious - so cute <3 They are such good friends. (Why do girls always get the wrong impression?! xd)
I wonder about Yuuko's wish, I doubt it would be something as simple as "more sake!".
Oh, and also why were Wtanuki's eyes different colors? They kept them blue for whole xxxKei so why now change them? I like the way they are now much better, but still... why?

Umm, wasn't Watanuki's eye color related to this hate of the spider case and all? If I remember correctly it was in TV series... And about Yuuko wish: just read a manga.

Okay, I take it Amewarashi's hair was originally blue in the manga. But I don't get it. Why change it now, after 37 episodes of her with red hair? Shunmuki is still animated by Production IG, so makes it seem like something happened to her between Kei and Shunmuki to give her gray hair xD

Watanuki was a heterochromic for at least part of episode 3 of Kei. He wasn't that way consistently though, because the episodes of Kei were taken from different parts of the manga, some of which I take it were from before he lost the eye.

Although that doesn't explain why he wasn't heterochromic in the last three episodes, as I also understand that he lost the eye before that incident in the manga. Sloppy continuity is at least partly to blame, I guess.

Watanuki paid with his memories before the events in the manga, since he was a child till some time before he met Yuuko starting the story. He forgot even the exchange with Yuuko, so when he met Yuuko again in the first chapter, he didn't remembered her and thought it was the first time he met her, but Yuuko knew it wasn't.

NO.

It will cover the vol17 of xxxholic manga.

considering half of xxxholic events happen in TRC manga, its practically impossible for next xxxholic ova to "continue" from this one.

It seems like xxxHOLiC Shunmuki should be between episode 12 and 13 of xxxHolic Kei. The Zashiki-warashi and the Ame-warashi first inquired on Watanuki's injury on this episode of Shunmuki while on Kei episode 13 they casually dropped from the sky near the oden shop.

You wont regret it.

Watanuki constantly jumping from dreams to reality is seriously mindfuckish. Heck, what's even reality? Great OVA. The tie in with TRC is gold.

i wonder why both zashiki and ame warashi had different hair colours this episode zashiki is so damn kl. something makes me thing that watanuki and yuuko are the reincarnations of sakura and sayaoran or something like tht. damn the way they cut it of before you hear yuukos wish.i was all for watanuki and zashiki but with this maybe yuuko and watanuki has a chance its kinda become a harem regardless i was very confussed for most of this ova but in the end it was worth it i guess it wld make sense if i watch tsubasa chronicles but the series is not a genre i like much.
