Well that's odd

An auction in Y!A for the XXXHOLiC and Death Note novels. I'm so tempted, but I'm broke right now.

Also, ANN has the karasu tengu listed with names for some reason. Apparently, they're "Jimmy", "Brian", "Eric", "Jeff", and "Keith".

...WHAT.

XXXHOLiC episode 19 IS a filler, but a peculiar one. It's a sort of variation of the snow sculpture miniarc. Basically, Yuuko invited everyone (Watanuki, Doumeki, Himawari, and both the warashi) to make snow sculpture... melee. No, no kidding! The sculptures had to fight each other, and the last one standing would win.

Watanuki made his fluffy manga bunny (which developed a weird kind of feet O_o). Doumeki... er, took a metal barrel and gave it a head made out of snow (I got nothing). Mokona made a giant Mokona and rode it Cait Sith-mecha-style. Himawari made... no clue, something that looked better upside down, to be honest, and swallowed snow to get bigger (and exploded afterwards...) Zashiki made an unidentified winged animal. Ame made two scary oni which could make hurricanes and lightning (WTF girl). And Yuuko's... was an armored soldier of sorts that looked a lot like the police in Jin-roh (hey, if this was manga!Yuuko, it WOULD've come from that) and could shoot snow from its gun; snow that came from Yuuko's yard, shoveled up and sent by Maru and Moro.

It all sounds really weird, but I can't make screencaps of raws because BSPlayer hates me.

In the end, Watanuki's bunny won because Yuuko's had technical problems. And his "award" was making food for the other guys. Sucks to be him.

That was odd indeed O.o It gave me weird Pokemon flashbacks o.o
Mokona's giant sculpture reminded me of the Team Rocket's dull robots
and Yuuko was like those EXCITED Pokemon trainers XDDDDD

XDDDDD

That's funny, you mentioning Pokémon, because when Watanuki sent his bunny to attack, I had Ash Ketchum flashbacks.

Shore? Like at the sea? I don't get it.

If you mean she's a bad loser, though, it's not like she was so angry since it was a trap for Watanuki anyway. He's the one who lost, at the end of the day, because he had to cook for everyone in the middle of a park full of snow.

Yeah that's what i meant,now is it me or does the anime downplay Yuuko's powers?I get this feeling,maybe because there akmost no Tsubasa crossover so there's no one calling her the dimensional witch and stuff like that.

It's more like she never does something magical in the anime at all. Gives random advices, trades/gives out goodies, makes tiny spells, but badass magic? With actual arrays shining under her feet and cheesy spell lines in a Cardcaptor Sakura kind of way? Nope. She never burns the parasite wing, she doesn't trace one and turn it into a butterfly shiki thing; and that was the only not-really-crossover-sort-of part in which she kicked ass and write down names. It really is like she lives in another alternative dimension where there is no witch of dimension, the Clow Reed-style magic doesn't exist, and Mokonas are creepy and not made by her.

She's like a random lady who knows a lot because the script tells her so, and drinks a lot.

Thank you someone noticed!In the manga she has this aura of power!I was stunned when she said:"we're making gods" and the parasite thing ruled!still the movie showed how powerfull(and sneeky)she can be!Wish they stopped downplay her so much
