I am continually impressed by the originality of xxxHolic. Is there really anything else like it out there? It doesn't focus on the 'high school life' genre (thank God) and while it does deal with the ever popular spirits/supernatural theme, it does so in a unique way. The only thing close that I could think of is maybe Rental Magica...but even that is incomparable on many levels.

Ironically enough, the episode after I comment about getting no development for Himawari, we get some. Looks like we might get more in episode 4 as well. Looking forward to it.

And now for the ambiguous fashion rating!

Episode 2: 8/10 - Yuko changed outfits 3 times this episode. Extra points for showing a little more skin than usual in her evening dress(?).

Episode 3: 6/10 - Not much going on here, but the Jorougumo had an 'interesting' outfit, so that helps the rating slightly. Yuko's blue kimono wasn't bad either.
