Funimation DVD Review: xxxHolic Vol. 6
Digging back into my pile tonight, I decided to close out the first season to another series with my volume and eventually overall thoughts on xxxHolic Vol 6 from Funimation.
In the final four episodes of ‘xxxHolic’ (season one), Watanuki will start the volume learning a lesson about respecting the spirit behind adages and proverbs. For the next two episodes, a short story arc will introduce Watanuki to a mysterious woman. With Yuko out of town on business, Watanuki is left with a lot of free time which he decides to spend with a kind woman he’s met. Meeting with her everyday though causes a strain on his body and leads to him getting ill despite warnings from Yuko and Doumeki.
In the final episode of the TV series, ‘xxxHolic’ will close things out with a one episode side story. In this episode, the audience will get to see Watanuki as he was in the sixth grade. Meeting another boy who can see spirits, this episode shows Watanuki learning about the power that cursed him his entire life while making a new friend.
