anime: X: The Series episode 0

[meganbmoore]

 

Just watched the first episode, or rather episode 0, of the anime X.  It's essentialy a big promo for the series itself(after this is a regular 26 ep anime, and this seems to be a midseries promo thing)  The first half features a duel between two identical men in uniforms with wings-one with white wings, the other black-and swords and the tragedy of a seer who cannot go outside, and his only source of companionship is to bring people whose deaths he's foreseen into his dreams before they die(or so I gather) and the second half is what seems to be clips for the series.

I'm not entirely sure what it's about except that it's about two identical young men named Kamui-one a force of good, the other, evil-and whichever is victorious determines the fate of the world, and it looks to have several angsty romances.  That said, the visuals are some of the most beautiful I've seen in anime, and the imagery and cinematography are amazing.

Also?  It's in love with feathers.  Seriously.

Went hunting on youtube for a non-spoilery MV, and the MV that made me decide to check out the series.

The one that made me check it out, basically a bunch of anime OTPs, including Kyo/Tohru, Shuri/Sarasa, Aya/Toya, Tamahome/Miaka and several others(including Sanzo/Goku, but we won't go there)

 

 

Non-spoilery vid(I avoided any that mentioned spoilers)
   Youtube or LJ one is being a pain and not including this vid when I post, so here's the URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtEnvCXn9ew

I'll try to fix it in the morning.

I was never really a person who cared much for angst, but these two? Broke my heart. And I mean that in a good way.

X in general though, is filled with angst, some of which are a little too much for me.

Anyway, I'm going to stop now. I'm not going to build them all up only for you to disappointed. ^^
