As the conflict between the Dragons of Heaven and Earth escalates, the fate of the planet rests on who is right: "Dreamseer" Princess Hinoto, who insists the future is already determined and unchangeable, or Kamui, who defiantly proclaims he can mold the future to his will. Subaru kills Seishiro, fulfilling another prophecy and leaving each team with only six members; a romance begins between Yozoriha and Kusanagi, although they're on opposite sides. But the struggles and sorrows of Subaru, Yozoriha, Kusanagi and the rest of the cast are little more than distractions. The crux of the story is the imminent duel between Fuma, who would destroy the Earth so it can be reborn in a purer form, and Kamui, who will protect the Earth and who has sworn to restore the Fuma he loved. (Rated 16 and older: violence, minor profanity, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Huzzah!
Alrighty then. Deviations and out-of-order presentations aside...
Me being the Subaru/Seishiro whore that I am, I will eternally regard this as my favorite volume of X TV. Their representation of their battle, while in my opinion was not NEARLY long enough, was still intense enough to grab my attention and keep it riveted. *cripes, I've forgotten how to spell!*
The other episodes, after the travesty that was 'Slaughter,' failed to impress me though. Yuzu-chan's episode was cutsey and Fuuma's utterly kick-ass, but I was still a bit too demolished emotionally to appreciate them. Perhaps it's because I watched the last 2 minutes of 'Slaughter' so many times over that I was afraid my drive would start eating at my DVD in protest.
I clap merrily for the director for keeping the beauty of Subaru and Seishiro's scenes intact. However, I'm still of the opinion that anime Sei-chan's fugly compared to his manga self, and definately a dog compared to his Tokyo Babylon representation. And Subaru had his bad camera angle moments, too - just destroy the bish goodness, why don't'cha.
Wish they hadn't cut out the kiss in Sei-chan's side story, but guess you can't keep everything - especially with Clamp works and censors involved.
Just someone tell me - did anyone else get the distinct impression that the animators had stared at Tokyo Babylon Part One forever to be inspired for that heart-breaking photograph at the end?
I'm going to go watch 'Slaughter' again and cry now. Gaw, I love it!
Another action-packed and emotionally-charged installment.
I found that a few of the first six DVDs (which will be eight total, the last two not yet released) included episodes that lacked story development and consisted mainly of flashbacks and lengthy dialogue, but the three episodes on X [six] were moving, exciting, and generally a big step towards the upcoming finale. I almost cried over episode 16, the first of three on the disc, because of the well-written and beautifully animated encounter between Seishiro and Subaru, which involved thoughtful imagery and an unexpected but very moving revelation about the relationship between the two. Episode 17 offers some more insight into the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth, winding down a bit from the action of 16, but a much needed break after the high levels of emotion in 16. Episode 18 continued with more action-packed events, and also offered a closer look into the thoughts of Kusanagi, a rather unwilling Dragon of Earth. Episode 18 ended in yet another emotional scene involving Yuzuriha and her dog Inuki.
Having waited some time for the release of this DVD, I am extremely satisfied and again impressed with CLAMP's skills. Despite the enthralling cliffhanger ending of X [five], I was beginning to get discouraged with feelings that the series was not as well-paced as I originally thought, but after watching the three episodes of X [six], I can safely say that X continues to be my all-time favorite anime series.
By far the best volume
This is by far the best volume. The battle between Seishiro and Subaru were really awesome. They did a really good job explaining their story too. Yuzurihas battle with Satsuki was cool too. The volume is my favorite. Im sure the 7th Volume will be just as good.
