As the apocalyptic battle approaches, the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth assemble in Tokyo. Although the sullen Kamui supposedly holds the key to the outcome, the viewer learns that Fuma, Kotori’s athletic older brother, is Kamui’s “twin star.” (The exact nature of the intimate bond between Kamui and Fuma is hotly debated among X fans.) Satsuki, who communicates directly with computers and prefers the cyber world to reality, helps to locate the mysterious c… More >>

Well, this is gonna be breif….I am kinda dissapointed in the choppy animation … and weird coloration… BUT I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I love X/1999 I kinda love the X movie and now I can have a moving version of the the book (of sorts). Too bad they sliced and diced the actual script of the book….and they twisted the characters around a bit….which I am deeply sadden by….But this installation of the DVDs kinda got me happy again. These are not filler epsidoes (I don’t think any of them will be..thank the Dragons of Earth-ahem-Heaven) these are character insights from another point of view. I don’t really like the director for twisting around the characters (Kotori) and plots….at all….BUT LO AND BEHOLD…SUBARU!!! This is a great insight (and eye candy) from Tokyo Babylon’s Subaru Sumeragi. This is a really cool DVD cuz of him!! It really shows off Subaru’s improvement from the Tokyo Babylon Subaru. That’s all that I liked from X tv series so far though… I hope to see some keeping with the actual Clamp script soon….and the Dragon’s of Earth are not evil!!! They just have a diffrent view on things!!!
Rating: 4 / 5
thisis a great series for everyone. its not just one type of genre but most of them rolled in to one great package
this is the tv series not to be mixed up with the movie (wich was pretty but empty).
if you like this series i recomend code gease (also from clamp like X) and i recomend chaos head, and tokyo babylon (the prequal to x).

X is a beautiful series, which seriously attempts to be an epic in a heartfelt manner (and I only say “attempt” because I’m an english major and have read the real epics). X doesn’t just show, it reads. The viewer leaves every episode feeling fulfilled and craving more. This DVD made me especially excited, however, because of the first serious appearence of Subaru-kun, the star of one of my favorite animes, Tokyo Babylon. If you’ve gotten this far in the series, seriously consider purchasing Tokyo Babylon, to fully understand the tragedy of the encounters of Subaru-kun and Seshiro. If you haven’t seen X at all, what are you waiting for, silly? Get Vol. One NOW!!!

X is by far one of the best animes in existence today. The animation is beautiful, the story is consuming. Anyone who watches the series can not help but be obsessed with it. This is the third dvd of the series, and it is a major stepping stone in the series. With the introduction to new characters (like Subaru, my favorite!), it takes the series to new heights and after this DVD the next ones will only be better! Trust me!

The outline that follows is an outline that refers to the entire series and spoilers will be included.
To begin with, if you are looking for an anime that is more in the style of Love Hina, than you should skip this one. If on the other hand, you are looking for an anime that is powerful, emotional, has love/romance, great character development and strong story, than you are definitely right here.
Outline of the story:
The story resolves around the Seven guardians of Heaven and the Seven guardians of Earth. The one group wants to preserve earth as it, believes in humanity no matter what they have done to earth, and hope for a better future. The other group wants to erase humanity from the face of earth so that the planet and its other creatures can life in peace etc.
The `problem’ is that when watching the show you will – like it or not – agree with both groups (not to mention the fact that there is no `black – white answer’ but a grey version (You will have to watch it in order to understand or otherwise I will give the entire show away, sorry guys)). Apart from it, the age of the group members does not matter much; meaning that you will see in both groups’ teenagers and adults fighting side-by-side or against each other till death. Others will fight against the other group for their own personal reasons.
The biggest problem however is that there can be only one Kamui (chosen one) and the side he decides to follow will win; but, it proofs that the real Kamui has a twin star, meaning that there is another Kamui out there as well. This will lead to an explosive mixture of emotions. Lovers, who will belong to the opposing group, will be forced to fight till death against each other, brother against brother, best friend against best friend and so forth. To be honest, the story will get very emotional indeed. No matter the age, the group members will fight and die.
As for the action, you will get more than enough. To begin with, the fights occur in both astral plane and our materialistic world. In order to prevent damages in our world, the group members are able to form a kind of a shield, in which most fights happen, and no matter the destruction our reality remains unaltered. That is, if the fights remain inside the shield, something that will not always be the case. In addition, all group members have their own supernatural `super powers’ etc. For instance, some can use the five elements, some others are psychics, some others use magic, some take advantage of technology, some bend reality etc.
Who will win in the end and what will be the cost of this destructive victory?
The genre of this anime could be categorized under: fantasy, supernatural, action, and love / romance.
The music that accompanies the show is very well orchestrated and good. Starts with a rock/pop song and ends up with a melancholic ballad. In-between the music changes in accordance with the shows (very good done).
As for the dub, in my humble opinion, it is very good and professional done, in the same level as CB is done.
The animation is excellent.
As for extras, it has more or less the typical stuff: Textless opening and ending, previews, trailers etc.
As for the box-set: The first DVD comes with the box and every DVD you buy it fits in there; imagine it something like a shelf.
As for the story: It is very emotional, has great character development, solid storyline (that moves forth and back, with flashbacks etc.), many twists and is very mature and character driven.
Tip: The first episode, called X-0, of the first DVD is like a prelude and `summation’ of the story. If you don’t want anything to be given to you in front but want to be glued to your sits from episode one, that skip this one.
Last but not least, is it worth buying or not? In two words: Definitely yes! However, by collecting all 8 volumes the cost may raise around $200. To be honest, it is worth having in your collection but if the cost might seem to you as an obstacle than try to rent it and to watch it. The show is highly recommended!
I hope that I could help you, if so than please click on the yes button below ^_^
