Summary: He Who Hunts the Majesty of God
Review: With the Shinken stolen by Nataku, a Dragon of the Earth, and temporarily out of circulation, the episodes of the second DVD in this series begin a closer examination of Kamui's mysterious role. In 'A Sacrifice,' Hinoto's dream vision reveals a vision of two Kamui's, each wielding the sword of fate baffling both her and Kanoe, her sister, who spies on Hinoto's dreams. In the middle of a conversation with Sorata, the rebel monk, Kamui is interrupted by a visit from his mother's sister, Tokiko, who reveals the purpose behind his mother's shocking death. In a side fight Arashi Kishu, a priestess with her own magic sword, and Seiichiro Aoki, editor and part-time wind master, take on a crowd of paper spell servants (the perfect opponents for an editor, now that I think of it).'A Destiny' introduces Yuzuriha Nekoi and her 'almost' invisible dog Inuki. This 14-year old is determined that the will only love those who can see Inuki. She is thrilled to discover that Kusanagi Shiyu can, even if he is a Dragon of Earth. The main thrust of the episode is the first direct meeting between Kamui and Princess Hinoto. Kamui discovers that he has two destinies, on either side. The meeting comes to an unsatisfactory conclusion for all as the Dragons of Heaven come under attack once again. The final episode, 'Kouya', explains much of Sorata's peculiar history and sets up the relationship between him and Arashi Kishu, as he gradually cracks her icy exterior. The two come under attack from Satsuki Yatouji, the opposition's computer wizard, with surprising results for all. Do not be shocked to discover you are watching a basketball game, either. Destiny works in strange ways. The various personal stories that are revealed here show a commonality amongst many of the Dragons - a hurt or lost family. We will not know if the end holds a hold of healing in its secrets, but we should not lose track of the fact that each of the characters has an important, human, side. And that these stories are an important part of the unfolding destiny. The steady pacing of the episodes is quite a relief compared to the density and occasional impenetrability of the movie. Moreover, as I have mentioned before, they seen to present better narrative consistency than the original manga. This time the characters seem to spring into three-dimensional life. Of course, the eye-catching grace of Studio Clamp's designs are beautifully retained making this set a surprising treat.

Summary: ...
Review: X is a CLAMP series so of course I love it. This is still setting up the plot points for the action, but its still awesomely cool. X1999 was the first CLAMP series I heard about, but was not the first I watched. So after I watched Magic Knight Rayearth, I was prepared for X1999's unusal story line [which i might say, that I love.]
