Sure they make a cute couple, though it's rather obvious that we won't see anything more from the two as a couple.

Spoiler for Episode 03:
& for the perfect example of how much Watanuki cares for people --- forget Zashiki-warashi or anyone else, just remember the Woman from the 'lady in the park' story.

I seriously doubt watanuki will end up with anyone. I don't read the manga or whatever but this story which is xxxholic really has no romance in it. The only thing that is very close to romance is domeki x watanuki.
Watanuki isn't really the type of character that will have a good romance story. xxxholic will end or finish with Watanuki not going out with anyone other than Domeki. For the people that find it strange or weird that Watanuki will end up with Zashiki or people downplaying those two being together, I have these things to say to you. I find it weird and strange that you guys think that there's even a possibility of Watanuki romance in this story that you guys would bash Watanuki x Zashiki because you guys don't see Watanuki ending up with Zashiki. Seriously, he won't end up with anyone. |

Okay, while I agree with this statement, there are other partnership things than romance. In particular, the series that popped in my head was You're Under Arrest, season 1. When I saw the end of that, and then reviewed some of the earlier episodes, it seemed as if the two had gone from a pair of almost rookies that needed the dual support, to a tight-knit pair that knows each other's thoughts as soon as they know them themselves, toward enough maturation that they actually have enough competence individually that they could get in each other's way, so they actually weren't in the same car near the end. Still working together, but as a team, not as an inseparable duo.
That sort of partnership could be where Wata/Yuuko/Doumeki/etc are going. Seeing Wata on his own does intrigue me after episode 3. Spoiler for episode 3:

I was planning on it, but my friend told me not to since id never watched or read tsubasa. Although since this season started I did kinda leaf through the first volumes of both and see what she meant...Figure i'll just read both at once when I get enough free time someday heh.

You dont need to watch TRC to watch XXHolic I started watching xxxHOLiC without watching TRC.Though TRC and xxxHOLiC have some things in common they are two diffrent shows . If your going to watch xxxHOLiC do make an effort to watch the movie

I used to read TRC but gave up after volume 11 or something cause it got too boring for me, it hasn't affected xxxHolic, I haven't detected anything I don't understand so I don't think it will affect anything.
Watched episode three, love the last scene, this is one of my favourite story in the manga, glad to see it animated and the last scene was really good. Spoiler for Episode 3 and just in case:

I hear it's due to licensing issues. Not that I mind, the early appearances of Those Meddling Kids are more like cameo's than anything plot-related anyway, and xxxHolic has always managed to stand on its own much more than TRC -- which in a way is like the ultimate meet-everyone-CLAMP fanservice -- could. However, the later chapters of the xxxHolic manga [the scanlated ones are faster than the English release, so count that in] gets more confusing without TRC. The current arc (the ultimate loli-chan's arc ) is stand-alone, but some chapters prior to that are totally confusing without TRC; to me at least. Spoiler for manga:
