Summary: One amazing series
Review: I got the whole series on VCD (subbed, of course). I simply could not wait for the DVDs to come out!If you have seen X the movie, and you think it [it was awful], I don't blame you. Lack of character development, lack of a good story, lack of pretty much everything save a lot of action and beautiful animation. I simply did not care for the characters, except, possibly, for Kamui at the very end. Well, the series fixes ALL of X the movie's problems. You will fall in love with the characters. You will gnaw your fingernails with anticipation when you see one of the Seven Seals fall in love with one of the Seven Angels. You will wish that destiny was not so defined (a major, MAJOR theme in the movie) when characters get the axe (or the sword). Each character is well-rounded, with an interesting history, and natural relationships that are not too glaringly obvious. Plus, you lose none of the action and animation that are so prevalant in the movie. The best part of the series, I think, is the fact that each of the Seven Seals (they are called the Dragons of Heaven in the movie, although in the series only Kamui is called a 'Dragon of Heaven'; everyone else on his side are called the Seven Seals, and on the other side are the Seven Angels) gets his or her own episode that focuses on his or her character and character history. So, unlike the movie, you actually FEEL for the characters in this one. Oh, and the series is very different from the movie in quite a few ways. Most notably, the birth of the swords, who dies and who lives in various parts of the series, and the relationships between some of the characters.

Summary: There is always one future....
Review: I love this show!! The first DVD is confusing to some (especially the first episode) but if you ride it out it becomes a wonderful experience. The concept is complex and the characters are multilayered, you can't help but fall in love with them.I really felt what all they were all feeling. I personally enjoy the mystery and the dark ideas about the end of the world but its all underlined with hope, even if it is a little hard to see. Even, in the end, if you dislike the show you can't deny that the music is beautiful. It was probably the first thing that attracted me to it. All the songs transport you and make you feel the emotions. (Extra note: Though I do not usually recommend one or the other. I suggest watching this subtitled being as the story is so deep and complex that a lot of the richness of dialogue is lost in the dub.)

Summary: its good
Review: I must say that I've enjoyed the X series from what I've watched so far(around 8 episodes). I do have complaints. I don't like how slow it moves along. I wish they had made the episode 1 a bit shorter on the character introductions, but hey, what can you do.
Also I'm dissapointed in the fight scenes. They could have been so much better. The "hand to hand" fights weren't too bad, but the sword fights were not very good. White arcs of light represented the sword blades, and thats something I really hate in an anime, especially when its CG colored. More time should have been put into the fight scenes.

Summary: Excellent series
Review: I purchased this DVD on the hunch that it would be as good as the manga, and I am very happy to say I am very satisfied with the results. The plot itself has a melodramatic hook that kept me interested, and the artwork/animation is very beautiful. The voice actors for the dub are real good. One important thing I experienced, is that I wanted to know what happens next. I can't wait to collect the rest of the series.

Summary: great anime
Review: I tend to like every anime I watch and this one i liked a little metter than most that i have seen. it was somewhat confusing as to what happens and the story. but as you watch each episode it gets better. I first didnt underatand why it started at episode 0. it smore of an introduction like a taste of things to come. you might want to get X the movie first then get into the series. the movie would explain a lot more in a short time, and it would alow you to understand what the series are about. Overall, the anime is great.

Summary: Wow.
Review: I watched this anime after completely falling in love with Subaru from Tokyo Babylon and hearing that he's in X as well. At first I thought that Kamui is actually Subaru. Boy was I wrong. Boy was I happy that I was wrong.
X is one of those anime shows (like the many that are out there) that so far seems to be very into the psyche of the characters that play a role in them. There's surely at least one character that someone can relate to on a deeper level. Kamui, the angry, skulking teenager who's holds the key to change the world, is just dripping with potential character developement, like the rest of the characters, all of whom are woven into the story with the clear intent of having important roles to fill in later episodes.
Just a word of warning though, episode 0 is sort of like an extra long review of the series, revealing a whole mess of turning points in the story that could probably be considered spoilers. In a sense though, it doesn't matter if you watch episode 0 first, because the series, so far, seems to be all about fufilling ones destiney, and I know I'm gonna have to see all the episodes now, to find out HOW this destiney will be filled. If you like suspense and surprises, though, skip epi 0 and go on to epi 1.
A word of warning. If you want to get into anime, make sure you have money for it. It's pretty addicting and expensive.

Summary: Get it
Review: I've heard friends saying they like the manga. That's when it was in Japanese. I bought this, and really like it. It keeps you on your seat, really. It will make you want to know what the heck will be the fate of the world. The book does tiny character bios- buy the DVD and you'll know who's who. It could be spoilers for who's on the bad and good side. It is dramatic. I always thought that's how CLAMP does it, but they did do Cardcaptor Sakura and Clamp School Detectives... The opening and end songs are lively. Most shounen one's are disturbing, but this is a shoujo anime. There is said to be yaoi, or guys being nice with guys, and death, blood, and whatnot later.

Summary: It explains everything butnot same drawings likein the movie
Review: If someone saw X - The Movie before the series then to some people are not getting a clue what is going on... I recommend to watch the series first and you will get the full explanation of the the movie that was not explained. You will get to know the characters in this story very well. I'm not impressed by the animation of the series. In the movie they drawn the characters much better than in the series. I dont want to say that the series are bad they are interesting to watch and to discover the lives of the earth and heaven dragons before they knew that they are involved in battle that will decide the faith of the earth...

Summary: Good anime, a must watch
Review: One thing you have to understand is, this is not entirely made to be an action anime. It is mainly meant for girls (shojo) which means it deals a lot with emotion and relationships.
The action in the series is great, the fights etc. If you are only looking for action though, you should skip most of the series, as only about 30% of it is fighting.
The return of Subaru Sumeragi and Seishiro Sakurazuka was very well done and pleased many Tokyo Babylon fans like myself.
The plot is simple enough: Dragons of Heaven (the seven seals)= good guys versus the Dragons of Earth (the seven harbingers)=bad guys. The Dragons of Heaven want to save mankind while the Dragons of Earth want a revolution. This is hard to follow for the simple minded though, because it is more deep than something like Dragonball Z which is pure action.
There are some things bad about this anime however:
1. It is very redundant, you can skip an episode and not miss much.
2. actually, i cant think of anything else
The good things about this are:
1. Great theme song
2. Fights are true to life, the good guys are more hesitent to kill than the bad guys.
3. good voice acting

Summary: Very good!!
Review: Plot: There is a battle for the Earth, the Dragons of Heaven (The Seven Seals) want to save it, and the Dragons of Earth (The Seven Angles) want to destroy it. To be more exact, the Dragons of Earth want to destroy the planet because it has been corrupted by humans and then they can start over. One person, Kamui, has a decision to make that will effect everyone on Earth... he will be a head Dragon, but of Heaven, or of Earth? Once he makes this decision his "twin star" automatically becomes the head of the other Dragons. My thoughts: So far, so good! Kamui is a jerk, basically, but I have a feeling that changes. Actually I think he may, in a way, switch personalities with this other character, Fuma, but I could be wrong. The character design is really good, which I hear is usual with Clamp (the creators of X, and also the creators of Magic Knights Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura, Chobits, etc). The plot is a little confusing, but I think with the next DVDs it'll get easier. There's also a lot of characters to keep straight, but it's helped by the handy booklet that came with the DVD (but don't look at it, episode 0, or the extras if you don't want any spoilers). The second DVD comes out tomorrow, and I can't wait to find out what happens!
