×××HOLiC Audience Reviews

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
kupukupumu OK, to begin with, I know the manga, but never read past volume 1. Yet, just to add my movie collection, I got the movies. One day out of nothing, I played it, so here is my review.The GoodThe movie is just beautiful. Each of the episode is short, around 20+ minutes, yet it is just enough. No dragging scenes and plots. And the main attraction, the witch lady is just mesmerizing. She is - sorry, to be honest - not among the best eye candies or best looking actors. Yet, she managed to bring the mystical, beautiful, mysterious, temptation and beauty aura in this movie. It is as if the movie is made for her. She and the character are the main thing in the movie, at least for me.The BadThe main characters are too old to play high school (or is it college?) students. Also, for a supposed to be a horror theme story, the series is not scary at all. Last, the visual effects are a bit on the low end, maybe because of budgetary reason.ConclusionThis is a good series to watch, not dragging at all. I hope they can do a season two with better plot. Oh, and never knew Anne Watanabe before, but will look for more of her movies.
dumsumdumfai The caveat is NOT having seen the original manga, not having seen any other previous TV or otherwise animated incarnation. I found this one good enough, in face, very good enough.Good enough in that the series is short (30min, 8 episodes), it has a purpose, it definitely has a style. In the end I wanted to see more.The story revolves around a student who can see things, and 2 of his friends and how they come across a person who grant people wishes in exchange for something of equal value.There is a definite style to the madness, cinematography is bokhen filled, shallow depth-of-field, long lens, slow motion at times - this captures the self center teenager years well (as well as the problem they are internalizing).Anne's outfits and decor is very lavished and her character exposes well a sense of loftiness and business-as-usual, matter-of-fact personality.The costume has fine details - and that's where it seems to money went even though you know this is a relatively small budget production - but looks really really good.The main character he-of-April-1st, has a good grasp of the role as well. The casting of female student is excellent in the idiosynchroncies of the particular look and the of course again the small details of the costuming. The other, tall athletic male co-star exhumes just that and compliments well to counter the other 2.I wish they can expand and do a 2nd season.
