Has anyone seen X TV series?

[DraGunZer0]

just wondering if anyone else has seen it.. currently I'm up to ep 7 and so far I hate the damn main character. Hes the most assiest anime character ever. I know the quiet ones that don't care for their friends but will like them later blah blah blah (ex: Sasuke) is coo but this guy is a *****. Although many anime characters tend to have this sort of attitude (Sesshoumaru in Inuyasha for another example), they are actually coo while doing it but Kamui, I can't bring myself to like this silent type dude. Every other character I like except the main character.

It's a great series, they also have a movie if the series is too long and boring for you (i've seen both, some people though have lesser attention spans).

I myself hate all the quiet ones. But I also hate the absurdly lound obnoxious ones too. Infact... there's not many I like. Guts from berserk is pretty great though. Spike from cowboy bebop... the tall guy from gantz... and rafiki from the lion king. heheh

Guts was badass

::EDIT:: never finished berserk, need the last ep (26)

X TV is my favourite anime series I've seen so far...some people might consider this a spoiler so...



***SPOILER***














Kamui becomes much more likeable as the series progresses












***END SPOILER***



I've seen the movie but that was a long time ago...but the movie didn't make any sense at all to me at the time but the series is pretty straightforward considering it has time to tell the story properly...

I liked Kamui after a while see my "spoiler" (not a particularly big spoiler but I don't want to take chances) if you want to know why, characters I really hate are really arrogant, stupid and obnoxious ie Isamu Dyson or whatever his name is in Macross Plus...there isn't a single point in that whole OVA where I don't want to disembowell him with a pair of rusty scissors then stab him in the face! :\ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

sadly it does end at 25, so you've seen it all.

the manga takes the story further though, you should read it. It's for sale at your local something store (dark horse are releasing it), or at The Hawks website.

I havent watched it yet but i have all the episodes....

I watched Tokyo Babylon which comes before the series and movie

[Swallow Your Soul]

Yeah I want the manga too, I'm gonna check out Tokyo Babylon soon as well...

[DraGunZer0]

So berserk stopped at 25 eh.. thats crap... oh well time to continue watching X

[ExTREm-San]

What's the serie about ?

[DraGunZer0]

7 dragons of heaven and 7 dragons of earth (all people with special powers) fight to either destroy earth, or save it. One guy is the key to either destroying/saving earth because he is the most powerful i guess (also they refered to him as the key many times.) Although I'm not to far along, its ok.. kinda slow moving but ok. I like the characters.. except the main character (like i stated above).

[ExTREm-San]

Ok, seems like a serie i would enjoy watching. Gonna download and see if it does. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[DraGunZer0]

I got it off Box Torrents, the whole series and OVA is there (also, watching the first ep i thought that this was going to be a yaoi anime... but hopefully I'm wrong... although it is done by clamp so i expect it to be made for girls... but hey it had to do with dragons, i couldnt resist..)

[ExTREm-San]

Boxtorrents.com is down atm so I'll look at it later then.

It is bishounen style (but like you said, thats because its from clamp) but don't worry it isn't yaoi.

Is the OVA the same thing as the 'Episode 0' that I downloaded? (I didn't get it off boxtorrents, I got a load of shitty ogm files off suprnova that were a bitch to put onto DVD).

[DraGunZer0]

No clue, I havent gotten the OVA's yet cuz Box is down =/

[Death BOO Z]

the OVA (named 'omen') is sort of a preview to the series, just that it has lots of spoliers and makes no sense unless you've watched the anime already...
it's better to start with episode 1, and only after the 24th episode, watch the OVA.. which will now be completly useless, as you've already seen everything...

after watching the anime, you can watch the movie, just to see how much it sucks, and to laugh on the dog part ("oh my god! you can see my dog! i'll kill you!)

[DraGunZer0]

So the movie is a really really chopped up version of the anime eh...

[Swallow Your Soul]

The movie was made before the series (I think it was anyway), but because there was such a huge story to be told it couldn't really be told properly in a movie so in the end it was just confusing. Fans of the manga generally seem to agree that the film was a huge disappointment but the series was much better.

Yeah the OVA does sound like the video file I watched labelled as 'Episode 00'. I had totally forgotten all the spoilers straight away because it was so confusing, but it did give me the warning to make sure to memorise which character is which (there are like 10 characters who look extremely similar, the preview thing kinda gave me the chance to work out some subtle differences [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]).

I've just borrowed the movie though so I'm gonna see it again...the only thing I really remember from the movie was a certain very cool death (which didn't happen in the series) so it'll be like watching a whole new film...

EDIT - Oh btw just in case anyone didn't know boxtorrents is back up.

[DraGunZer0]

Just finished the series.. so many heart breaking deaths... I'm having trouble deciding whether or not this is an anime I should keep or delete..

::Edit:: Also for those that have watched the series already, does anyone know that neat kinda warlike battle theme that plays in every ep? I think that theme is so badass (especially the sad piano version)

[Uzumaki Naruto]

guhh hated this anime, it was alright but it just was starting to get anoying so never bothered to finish watching it, and the movie it was alright, no wait no it wasnt it was just wierd
