About X

Meet X, an action, fantasy and super power anime by Madhouse (2001). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: His destiny has finally arrived as the young Shirou Kamui returns to Tokyo after 6 years. A mighty psychic, Kamui vows to protect the happiness of his childhood allies Fuuma and Kotori, even if it means avoiding them.

Beyond that: Fate is cruel, whether or not Kamui longs to be involved; he holds the future of the world in his hands, given the choice of becoming a Dragon of Heaven or a Dragon of Earth. The Seven Seals gather, and so do the Seven Angels; all individuals who have their destiny carved out as one who would battle for the fate of the realm. What future will Kamui choose to become reality?

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
