xxxHolic 24 - and with this, this anime comes to an end.
Not a spectacular ending. It was a side story of one of Watanukis memories, about when he entered middle school. He saw hands everywhere, that tried to attack him. He gets rescued by a boy and the two become friends. The boy can also see spirits and it’s really weird for Watanuki so he gets attached to the boy and they are best friends. Until the day of his birthday, it appeared that the boy was already dead. He was taken away by those hands 7 years ago, and he was happy that he could meet Watanuki. It was really touching. It was.
We see after that, Watanuki looking back to that time and feeling nostalgic. And it was the first of Arpil, and that is the time where Yuuko, Mokona, Himawari and Doumeki decided to celebrate it. After all, it is his birthday. So they go barbequeing, and have Watanuki do all the work. But he is happy with it.^^.
It was a nice ending. I really enjoyed it, it was so calm. It didn’t give anything of that he would be free of the spirits or something like that, but this is so much better. I didn’t really see a Watanuki without spirits. I’m glad they choose an ending like this.
