Super Duper Mini Review
xxxHolic is an anime adaption of the on-going manga, created by CLAMP. Both seasons were directed by Tsutomu Mizushima and produced by Production I.G.
Genres: comedy, drama, fantasy, horror, mystery, psychological, slice of life, supernatural
Themes: ghosts, occult, spirits
Plot Summary via ANN
Kimihiro Watanuki is a young boy with a cursed gift. He has the ability to see evil spirits, and somehow they seem attracted to himself. One day he meets a misterious woman who names herself Yuuko. She claims to have the means to end his torment, but she never works for free, and she wouldn't help him until he works for her enough to pay for her services. Thus he starts to work in her shop and discovers that in that place, nothing is what it seems.
Pros and Cons (Covers both seasons.)
Pros: - A fantastic cast.
- An entertaining world. All the spiritual/mystery/supernatural stuff make the world great.
- Surprisingly, the show is funny for a show that can be dark at times.
- The the spiritual/mystery/supernatural stuff is great.
- A very unique art style. Fits with the show well.
Cons:
- All the comedy is great, but it goes for some gags a little too often.
Who is it for?
If you are a fan of mystery/supernatural/psychological type shows with some comedy thrown in, definitely check out this show. Also, if you are a fan of CLAMP's work, it say it's worth checking to see their other work.If you live in the US and want to check it out, the first season is available on Hulu in subs. (Might be available in other regions.)

What's a Super Duper Mini Review? Well, since I'm taking a break from written reviews, I decided to put a short list of what I liked and didn't like about the shows I watch. For some info about the show like genre, plot summary, etc., I borrow (mainly copy and paste :P) some info from Anime News Network, Wikipedia or the Anime Vice wiki.
