xxxHolic: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Episodes: Movie
How: DVD Rental
Rating: B
Summary: {From Wiki} A woman comes to Yūko to ask for assistance because her key won't unlock her mansion. Later, Yūko receives an invitation to the mansion. Yūko sends Watanuki and Dōmeki along with her to the mansion. They aren't the only people there. Many collectors were invited. When collectors start disappearing, Watanuki starts to suspect that something supernatural is happening.
Thoughts: Coming in at around 60 Minutes, It really just felt like a double TV Episode. This is not really a bad thing and there was a Cameo by part of the Tsubasa crew at the end.
The Summary pretty much says it all, Something Supernatural is happening and Yuuko has to fix everything {With a little help from Watanuki}.
The End: Turns out the supernatural host of the Manor is a "Collector", He Collects Collectors even. His target is Yuuko since she in a way is the ultimate collector. The woman who had come to the shop in the beginning of the story is a person from the "Collectors" past...
I'm unsure what the relationship between the woman and the man is but, When she was a little girl she was living in his house and started a collection of her own. Of Bean Bags, I think it was. I forgot... Anyways she basically said it's best to collect something that no one else was collecting and this guy took it to heart.
When the little girl moved away he told her that he'd start a unique collection of his own, She promised that she'd come back some day to see it. When she came back however her key to the house did not work.. and that's why she went to Yuuko.
Collecting Collectors it an unusual Collection, To say the least. Yuuko figures it all out and Tada.. The woman who is now quite old is reunited with the man...ghost...whatever he is now. He sees her as the little girl that left so many years ago and... yea.. This woman has been three ages in the movie alone. I guess the old woman her is the real her...
It all Ends Happy.
Tsubasa - I'll have to watch the movie that connects to this movie seeing that characters from that series contact Yuuko for a key at the end of this movie.
Random; I loved when Yuuko actually ran, She was really a lazy ass in what I've seen of the TV Series so... When she hiked up that dress and started to run it was quite the sight. Also, When Watanuki was looking for the bathroom... hehe.
