AYUSE KOZUE (25.7MB, PSP/Quicktime format) | Abbreviated Live Performance (YouTube video) The first time I heard the song as xxxHOLiC Kei ED theme, I thought the song was just okay.

| 10:55pm | xxxholic kei episode 11 |  | | | So, in my personal opinion, it’s not too often you see something done incredibly better in the anime then the manga. Especially with the low-grade animation of xxxholic kei against xxxholic’s gorgeous art. Yet, it happened.Episode 11 opens with Watanuki walking home with Himawari. He bids... | | |

| 5:56pm | xxxHolic Kei episode 9 & 10 review |  | | | Episode 9 - ‘Rumours’Ok first off, I’m putting episode 9’s review first because I find it to be probably the best episode yet, and I have a lot to say about it. xxxHolic’s plot structure is special because of the way it drops hints within episodes and revisits them later, alluding... | | |

| 3:57am | Mahjong-holic | | | | After watching xxxHolic episode 6, I found myself wondering this: Why hasn’t there been any anime or manga solely on the topic of Mahjong? We’ve had anime and manga based on food, bread, Go, chess, Tamiya, tennis, gambling, card games, etc but none on Mahjong. While I’m no expert,... | | |

| 1:00pm | Kurenai - 11 | | | | Just like xxxHolic, after two weaker episodes, Kurenai is totally back on track. The finale might be a bit shorter than I expected (only two episodes), but this episode was an excellent conclusion, and it made up for a lot of time that got wasted on the previous episode.
