• I found this scan while surfing on 2ch where we can see a first look of the Spider Lady:

The article is from one of this month’s anime magazines, I’m not sure which one, that will be released on the next few days.

It reveals that the first episode starts from the Spider Lady arc (as expected, considering the end of season 1 and the order of events of the manga). Still regarding Spider Lady’s character, the article states that her voice will be played by seiyuu Yumi Touma (Spinel in CCS). Her profile is huuuuuge, she has worked on a thousand animes, I’m sure she’ll do great!!

In addition, the article says that XXXHOLiC◆Kei Ending Theme will be performed by rapper SEAMO. He has a single coming out in May called MOTHER, could it be that song? Neither the article nor his official website mention anything about the title, though.

• XXXHOLiC◆Kei will be one of the features of this year’s Tokyo Anime Fair. XXXHOLiC’s event will take place on the last day of the event, March 30, with director Tsutomu Mizushima and cast talking about the new season and a screening of an exclusive promotional video of it. I’ll check with Yoshiyuki-kun if he can go xD

XXXHOLiC◆Kei premieres April 4 on TBS.

Oh, and by the way, there’s “Nanase Ohkawa” all over now, on official websites and magazines xD
