X Series
Tagged under CLAMP, Madhouse, Series.
Shiro Kamui has returned to Tokyo after 6 years, following the wish of his mother, and ultimately, his fate. It is 1999,
and Kamui, gifted with psionic powers, has been foretold to either save the world, or to destroy it. The Seven Seals
(Dragons of Heaven) wish to save humanity, while the Seven Angels (Dragons of Earth) wish to destroy humanity in order
to save the physical Earth and cleanse it. Kamui must choose a side, but unbeknownst to him, his twin star awaits to
serve whichever side will become his rival.
The world can only watch the destruction after the choice is
made as time draws nearer to the Promised Day... and perhaps the Apocalypse.

Qrdel's X Tv Review
Rated:
Getting closer to the end. X is kinda controversal anime. From the one hand it is based on manga, it shows interesting plot, has a lot of different charas, at the same time it proves to be boring, overrated with great, although wasted pottential. X could've been tremendous anime, yet it is just good, nothing more... Hopefully X the Movie is tremendous motion picture but it is the topic for different review. If anyone read X, then watching X TV won't do any harm to you. If one haven't read manga... after watching anime he won't either.... and one more thing, if you don;t like feather (sic!) and fillers as well stay as far away from this title as you can...

I loved the movie of X and I was glad CLAMP made a TV series of it. It explained very detailed of every characters' past
life and I liked that. The ending was alright for me, but I loved the ending better from the X/1999 movie. The ending
song was better too (Forever Love - X Japan). The movie's art was awesome too, I love those movies that look so dark and
horror. The series wasn't like that, but I still loved it.
My 3 fave characters: Fuma, Seishirou, Kusanagi
/manga/ Like Tokyo Babylon, X started out a bit slow, but eventually grew to fit its role as "end of the world epic". And, also like Tokyo Babylon, X brings out some good points about the world and society without sounding preachy. The dynamics between the characters are also very nice.
Dragonsbead rated 7.25:beautiful artwork and a very fantastic story, just confusing because the anime and the movie are different and the endings are also very different. It´s partly really sad and emotional and sometimes it´s a little bit funny, but most of the story is serious and painful. Liked it though <3
chalupa rated 8.00:This one started out slow and introduced a lot of intriguing elements...and at some point the animators realized that the manga was still going on, so they decided to deviate from the source material and tie all those intriguing together in a mere 26 episodes. The result, as always, was a rushed ending that didn't satisfy.
jaymac rated 8.00:I own both the movie and the TV series. The movie version was only alright for me (the visuals and animation were good but the plot and storyline needs a lot of work (and I do mean A LOT)), but the TV series was very well done. It appears the latter is much more in line with the manga and character development is in a lot more detail.
