X the Complete Series

I was thinking of watching this after I return, but since I had time last night, I thought I'd watch a few episodes first (5 actually).

Despite the average ratings it got, it managed to captivate me from the first episode (known as Episode 0). There, they introduced the whole main cast to you through the eyes of a dreamseer. The bad things is, it roughly tells you what's gonna happen too, so... I suggest skipping this episode and going straight to episode 1.

Introducing Kamui, a super-powerful, yet arrogant, selfish and anti-social teen. He is cold and very hot-tempered. He'll pretty much attempt to kill anyone just because the person invaded his privacy. And someone like him actually holds the fate of the world in his hands. One where he joins the Dragons of Heaven and save the world, and one where he joins the Dragons of Earth and destroy the world.

Kamui holds two futures, and even the greatest of dreamseers and fortune tellers don't know which future he will choose. What's more, there are supposedly two Kamuis, so what will happen from now on will be pretty interesting.

Another one of CLAMP's works that touches the occult, space and time. Oh, and although not as much as Code Geass, the storyline is pretty much continuous. The next episode always picks up from where the previous episode ended. So, this is pretty gripping too.
