Anime Review

This week we dive into discovery of the World's many unexplained things in xxxHolic. Superstitious? Coincidence? I think not, its fate! Everything is this world is bounded by the four letter word fate, but the one that let fate decides is nothing but a mere puppet. Have I caught your attention yet?



There are indefinite things in this world that remain unexplained
No matter how weird it is, mankind will always deserve it.
It will always be so with mankind

But it is the imagination.
But it is the past.

Person
Mankind
People

People are the world's strangest creatures




Storyline
Haunted by visions of ghosts and spirits since he was young, high-school student Kimihiro Watanuki's discovery of a mysterious shop one day offers him hope that he may finally be free of his torment.

This is because the shop's owner, the alluring Ichihara Yuuko, is actually a witch with the power to grant any wish... though the wisher must pay a price equal to the wish desired.

And Watanuki's price? He has to work part-time at Yuuko's shop until he pays off the cost of her services. And thus starts his encounter into another world, where nothing is what it seems.

Later in the series, Domeki came into the picture, a priest who possesses an ability called exorcist from his late grandfather which enable him to dispell evil. Yuuko predicted that the natural rivalry between Watanuki and Domeki will become compatible best friend.

L-R: Watanuki, Yuuko & Domeki

Media
