XXXHOLiC

I know this anime is part of the mid 2000s but the animation I thought, was a bit ugly and unflattering to look at. It made my watching experience really uneasy so I wasn't able to focus properly to wanting to watch more.

I have to say out of being nice, Yuko out of all the characters, was pretty much the most likeable one. She seems to want to get s*it done but she does it in a sexy clever kind of way and always does her best to taunt the boy lol Yeah I know I'm not making sense on that very last sentence but that's how I see her lol.

Also adding to being even more nice, the humour was actually pretty funny. With the animation and sorta the storyline not being the best for me this time, it didn't do a bad job in adding some cracking jokes in there. The storyline I felt was pretty much off for me because it just didn't seem original in a sense where it needed to stop making this anime to be known as a dark comedy, but rather as a serious drama film like e.g. Parasyte.

This is just my own takeaway on this anime series. I know I do have a weird nonsense opinion but hey that's just how I roll dudes lol

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.

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 started watching Xxxholic last week and it is safe to say that I am not disappointed. It has similarities to Du Ra Ra as the viewer is submerged into a world of spirits and stuff that ordinary people do not get the chance to take part in. It contains pearls of wisdom for viewers through Yuuko's narration and embodies themes of friendship, trust, and adventure. Whilst it is undoubtedly slower compared to the likes of One piece or Bleach, the pace allows for a more reflective audience and a plot of self-discovery that will warm your heart. Overall: An anime I would be sure to recommend especially for those who want a slower paced but meaningful anime.
