About X OVA

Meet X OVA (エックス), a drama, fantasy and mystery anime by MADHOUSE (2001). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: In this prequel to the "X" TV series, a beautiful, young, bedridden dreamgazer named Kakyou remembers the life and death of a remarkable young woman whom he met in dreams. He also recounts his dreams of a tragic future in which the fate of the Earth will be decided.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Mitsuaki Madono as Sorata Arisugawa and Kenichi Suzumura as Kamui Shirou.

This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by MADHOUSE, so the studio's house style defines how X OVA looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on drama, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Its 6.2/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Mitsuaki Madono as Sorata Arisugawa, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2001, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
