this being the first anime I saw, offcourse i thought back than it was perfect; today after watching it again i still think it's beautifull. although to the end I think Kamui's character was a little weak (but i guess that was the point) he made it all up in the last episode (but again.. that's the point in the final..) it's beautifully drawn, really perfect.

I was blown away at the beginning of the anime! It had everything! The outlines of the plot were more than promising, there was a huge number of intriguing characters and it was just waiting to take off!!
But then things started to get out of hand... The highlight of the story (besides the whole end of the world thing) is how everyone is struggling to change their destiny even though they are constantly reminded how their troubles are useless and the outcome is still going to be the same. So you expect to see them trying to outsmart faith and fight ( read more)

So you expect to see them trying to outsmart faith and fight to the end..... and that's exactly what they don't do. Everyone is so static! It's like all the good guys do is sit around and wait for something to happen and that's usually when the bad guys go around town and demolish things because they are too bored to do anything else. Because there isn't anything to do! You'd kinda think that something specific needs to be done to save/destroy the planet.
The other thing I found annoying is how characters died. Now this might sound wrong, but do you know that scene in every anime when someone dies tragically in someone else's arms? Well here, everybody dies that way. Everybody! It seems to me that the only emotion packed scenes are the ones when someone dies. And they die all the time. And it's always the same. Always! It's supposed to be sad but it turns out to be ridiculous.
The whole anime turns out that way!
I'm not saying that this anime is awful. It's good, above average! You might even find it exquisite. But to me it's a complete waist of great potential. That is actually the thing that makes me angry the most. So you could watch this. It won't impress you, you'll get annoyed sometimes but it is an alright anime. ( show less)

It's the first anime ever that made me so... angry!
At the very beginning story seemd very interesting; animation wasn't that good but not too bad either. I liked the concept of two futures for the world, Dragons of Heaven and Dragons of Earth - but the plot development was just tragic! Protecting/destroing world requires some action, at least in my opinion.. And here, action is so slow, more than actual battles you see characters' pasts... Nothing makes sense :/
Protagonist at first is the strongest, suddenly he becomes the weakest; at first ( read more)

Protagonist at first is the strongest, suddenly he becomes the weakest; at first he's arrogant, he hurts people etc., then he becomes so kind and good that it's just not like him! and if it wasn't for the short description below information about anime, i wouldn't guess that Kamui was actually protecting his friends.. such a mess.
Most irritating for me - word 'destiny'. I doubt there's even one episode without that word!!! They all fight it but at the same time no one belives that they can win. And the end is of that kind that I can't even decide who won... That's why i'm angry, I hate being left dissapointed and still cry for such end..
To sum up: the serie maybe has a deeper meaning, as fighting with the fate and so on, but for people who like action, flawless battles, strong emotions and adrenaline while watching - I do not recommend it. ( show less)

This is one of the most beautiful anime I've ever seen. The story is intense and makes you keep wanting to watch more until the very last episode. The animation is done very well coupled with admirable music. If you are in the mood for a darker, more tragic anime series. This is the anime for you. You'll become engaged with not only the story, but also with the excellent animation.
If you are familiar with CLAMP's works, you have to give this one a try. It's my favorite even though it's older. I just got into the series too and wondered why ( read more)

The reason why I gave a lower rating for the story and entertainment is because the manga is a lot better in those areas. Artwork is extremely captivating and the development of each character's story is more in-depth and sorrowful. I personally recommend you to try the manga first, but the anime is still very good. If you do happen to like the anime a lot, you have to consider reading the manga (although it is incomplete right now). ( show less)

Wow!!! this is my first try watching this anime and it's awesome!!!! as expected from CLAMP all of their creations are the BEST!!!! and when I finally finished watching this anime, I somehow cried in the last two ep of this anime... since the story was really sad because they sacrificed just to protect their beloved once and to tell you the truth I kinda hate that kind of crap and since the plot of this anime is perfect for that kind of scene well I sort of cried hehehe...

Story about group of people involved in the preordained battle over the fate of this world. People that have this great power but still are powerless when it comes to change the destiny of the ones they love and wish to protect. Some of them go with the flow, others still desperately fight and sacrifice everything in order to change their destiny.
Enjoyable story about having all those hopes and wishes despite everything, decorated with beautiful CLAMP-like animation.
Yup, I liked it ;)
