An unfinished shoujo-fantasy manga by CLAMP published in May 1992 with 18 volumes about how our world in 1999, a japanese boy called Kamui, has its destiny deciding to become a Dragon of Heaven or Dragon of Earth. They are called The Seven Seals and The Seven Angels respectively. The Dragons of Heaven are in charge to protect the kekkai or barrier that's surrounding the Earth to prevent the last day of it. The Dragons of Earth are the ones in charge to destroy that kekkai so it could cause the destruction of the Earth to give chance a new era without the real destruction humans are causing to the world. The main idea was based in the Biblical Apocalypse about the end of the world adding the urban myth about at 2000 everything would be finished.
The anime version was aired in October 2001 to March 2002 with 24 episodes and music composed by Satou Naoki. As the manga has no end, the one shown in the anime it's considered the end of the story although it doesn't follow it so exactly, the end is reasonable.
The movie of 100 minutes was aired before the anime in 1996 with music by Yasuaki Shimizu, a strange version but a good resume about the story, let's call it an introduction.
I like it very much, they made a good and interesting creation with the urban belief about the end of the world, I got rapidly involved with most of the characters -spoiler-I felt kind of sad when Fuuma had to be the "other Kamui" becoming a Dragon of Hearth changing his tender and soft heart to an evil one-spoiler- and it lefts you with a very important message about caring people you really love and the earth who gives you home. The anime music is pretty, specially "Sadame" that makes you feel the tense situation and the excitement about what is going to happen.
