I don't get this. How can a professionally made product such as this series looks this horrid? Just look at the character design for the twin sisters. They are nothing like their manga counterpart. Their eyes are dull and have no life. Similarly, even thoough the character design for the regulars looked quite good during the previous episode, in this one everyone looks awful. Did Production IG outsourced this episode to an amateur company or did they ask some work experience kids to draw the characters? Either way, it's disappointing to see what could otherwise be an interesting arc ruined by bad character design. It's a good thing that xxxHOLiC also has an interesting storyline because otherwise there is little incentive to watch this series. As a side note, a new ending theme called Kagerou is being used starting with this episode.
