XXXHOLiC

Before I get to the pros let me get the cons out of the way, There are 2 problems with this series, first is the main character Watanuki, who pretty much yells and complains most of the time, it is very annoying. The second is not a problem for me, but seems to upset a lot of people, the way the characters are drawn is something unique, they are out of proportion. Now the pros, the animation itself is very good, despite the disproportionality. The most interesting character is Yuuko, a supernatural woman that Watanuki made a deal with. She says the most interesting things and is frequently profound, she also has the best wardrobe I have ever seen in an anime. It was Yuuko that kept me watching this series. I put up with the annoying main character because of her. There are quite a number of spirits from Japanese mythology in this series, many of which I never heard of and some which I got a better understanding of while watching this series. I would like to mention the opening songs for seasons 1 & 2 are interesting and enjoyable, although they are in a style I don't usually like. If you want a new and serious take on the supernatural then this a good one to choose.

I love this Anime so much!! I wish it was more consistent because the first handful of episodes I found so captivating but by the second season, I felt it was getting repetitive and aimless though. Visually it's one of my absolute favorites- the butterflies and smoke are just so beautiful and dreamy. I love the playfulness mixed with mythical depth in the themes of the characters and story. My love for this anime is...inevitable.

I've recently discovered this hidden gem. This is a much darker Anime then I expected. It is created by CLAMP and is seinen (for adults 18-30). It's got a little bit of everything as most good Animes do. What's unique about this Anime is how they blend very interesting mystical themes with modern life and it's all done with awesome animation. It's quite nice because you get some interesting insights into Japanese superstitions. Honestly it can be a little chilling sometimes. The Japanese voice cast is great and the music is very fitting. So far I've seen 19 episodes (Animesuki) and I'm looking forward to more of this unique experience.

I loved this anime I remember watching this as a teenager. I really like the art work it's different and unique, I haven't come across another anime like this. The story line is very good all the characters have funny and quirky personalities. Highly recommended.

Stories are fun but I just can't get over the horrible animation. At times the movie had super large body parts but really small heads. It seems the animation started out fine but as the episodes when on it got sloppier and sloppier.
