Anime : xxxHolic 05

This episode is a definite improvement from the previous. The animation may not be very impressive but the excitement was very well built. I thoroughly enjoyed the scene where Watanuki was chased by the spirits at night and had to play Shiritori with Mokona to ward the spirits off. And I totally love the soundtrack for this episode. It is simply outstanding. The sequence of events in this episode is quite different from the manga (note the Kitsune-Lantern arc was removed from this anime episode), but I'm still quite pleased with the animation done. I must say, Clamp's artwork is really enjoyable. I love the designs they used on Yuuko.
