At the edge of the millennium, the battle for humanity's future is at hand. Kamui Shirou, a mysterious young man possessed of incredible psychic power, returns to Tokyo after a long absence to protect his childhood friends Fuma and Kotori. The Dragons of Heaven, defenders of the Earth, stand ready to protect the world from The Dragons of Earth - the seven angels of legend who embrace the devastation of the planet to bring about its purification. With both teams endowed with superhuman strength, it's up to Kamui - the sole variable - to fulfill his destiny, choose his allies, and resolve the climactic struggle that will decide the fate of mankind. A mythic saga with an evocative musical score, X is based on the best-selling comic series from Asuka magazine which featured the striking artistry of CLAMP - a collective of four female artists responsible for some of Japan's most popular manga tales including CardCaptors, Rayearth, RG Veda, and Tokyo Babylon. Directed by Rintaro, - one of Osamu Tezuka's most prolific collaborators - and featuring the stunning animation of Madhouse Studios (Ninja Scroll, Perfect Blue, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust), X is one of the most ambitious anime projects ever created.
