xxxHOLiC (Anime Series)

A shop that can make every wish come true, but you have to pay for every wish, not with money, you can pay with everything you have, including your soul. Interesting isn't it?


Good morning everyone!

All this time I always talk about movies, music and travel, but sometimes I don't know what to write because I haven't watch, listen, or go somewhere again. So, I think I'm gonna try to write about anime from this time!

The first anime I want to write is xxxHOLiC, please note the word "xxx" in the title has nothing to do with pornography or something like that. Thank you.

xxxHOLiC adapted from a comic book written by CLAMP and published by Kodansha. The anime was developed by Production I.G. The story revolves around life of Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school boy who has a problem with spirits, and one day he meet with Yuko Ichihara, a witch who owns a shop that can grant wish of her customer. Watanuki asks her to help him remove his ability to see spirits. In order to grant the wish, Yuko need a payment, and the payment for this wish is high, so she hired Watanuki as a part-timer. The supernatural adventures begin.

I really love this anime, because the writer is CLAMP, which is my favorite. CLAMP has write a lot of manga series, and I think most of them were animated. The reason why I love xxxHOLiC is because the story crossover with other CLAMP's works. It is Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and Carcaptor Sakura, even though it's just appearance of some items that belong to that two animes. The story is amazing as well, it has so many moral message in it. I think it's because the story is about life of Watanuki, and how he changes from time to time. I also learn a game from Japan like Shiritori (Game Letter) that said can build a kekkai (barrier) to repel spirits, I don't know if it's true or not but I think the game is quite fun to do in free time with friends. There is also Hyaku Monogatari Kaidankai (100 Ghost Stories), it will take much adrenaline from you!
