xxxHOLiC English Sub & Dub

About xxxHOLiC

xxxHOLiC arrives as a comedy anime by Production I.G (2006), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Kimihiro Watanuki can see spirits and other assorted supernatural creatures, which is quite a bothersome ability he strongly dislikes. On the way home one day, while plagued by some spirits, he is inexplicably compelled to enter an odd house.

Soon after, there, he encounters Yuuko, an unexplained woman who claims to be able to rid him of the ability to see and attract the troublesome creatures—for a price. She demands that he work at her "store" that grants wishes to people, and thus kicks off Watanuki's adventures through weird and wonderful events.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series.
