Such a disappointing anime. After hearing some positive thoughts about X, I decided to give it a shot, and the opening themes of Destiny/fighting fate sounded appealing, and seemed as though they were going to be presented in an original thought provoking way. Here ends any true praise I can muster for X. While the animation and sound have no noticeable issues, neither do they stand out, characters are bland, but the show attempts to convince you that they are deep and complex. The initial fight scenes featuring the protagonist make him out to be a badass, yet as the show goes on, he becomes less and less awesome, and more whiney/weak and indecisive. In general this is an anime that begins fairly strong, but ultimately fails to deliver on the promises made early on. The fights are par at best, the characters uninspired, and the story shallow.
