CLAMP comedy -- XXXholic

This is a 24-episode anime series that I truly had a good time watching. It`s one of the best from CLAMP. It is about a guy, Watanuki, who has the ability to see spirits and other supernatural beings. He comes by to this shop, unexpectedly, where your wish will be granted but it comes with a price depending on the kind of wish. The owner, Yuuko, tells him that she could get rid of Watanuki:s ability but he must work for her first. This is where the story starts rolling.
The story is supposed to be of horror/supernatural genre but it has a lot of humor in it that you get a lot of laughs and never even the slightest hint of goosebumps! Don`t get me wrong. This anime is far from being lame. Although, don`t expect for a deeper plot in it because (I`m sorry to burst your bubble!) there`s none. It`s the kind of anime to watch when you don`t have anything else to do. It`s something to get you out of that boredom state.
I love watching this anime since you get to learn a lot from it about Japanese culture and the different supernatural stuff they believe in. You get to understand a lot of things in this anime.
I came across this when I was watching a video of Jun Fukuyama in youtube doing a live dubbing of his character, Watanuki. I was interested after seeing it. I`ve read one chapter of this manga way back but after seeing Jun, it got me motivated to watch the wole series. Jun has a different kind of voice in this anime and it was fun!
Well, if you`re bored... don`t forget to watch this anime!
