Episode reviews: Allison and Lillia 03, xxxHolic Kei 03

Allison and Lillia

Allison and Lillia 03

Allison and Will manage to successfully enter the military base and to find the old man that is kept prison. They think he is an enemy spy that holds some state secret. However Allison is a clever girl and manages to lure the soldiers away from the cell, giving the old man a chance to escape. Unfortunately the two get caught by a superior officer that Allison calls captain love letter since he confessed his love to her once. However they also manage to escape and they meet up with the old man in the underwater passage way which is a shortcut to the hangar. The man tells Will the location of the treasure and they borrow an airplane to head for the treasure. What they do not know is that the soldiers are on their tail.

The first half of this episode didn’t have a lot of action and the whole part on the military base I found a bit boring since I’m not really into military stuff. However the 2nd half of the episode was excellent with a lot of action. I have the feeling that the story has only just begun.

xxxHolic Kei 03

There is panic when it turns out that Zashiki-warashi is kidnapped to somewhere far away. Her guardians ask for Yuuko’s help and Yuuko sends Watanuki and the pipe fox with them to save the girl. It turns out that the girl is kidnapped by the spider woman whose minion has taken Watanuki’s right eye. Watanuki has to learn a lesson the hard way before he can save Zashiki-warashi and to have any chance of getting his eye back.

This was the best episode out of the series so far! It’s the prefect ending of this arc. The lesson Watanuki needs to learn is a valuable one, and the interaction between the characters is very endearing. I am really impressed by the series so far and to be honest I like it better as the first series just now.
