Intressing about the Denon MG-X could it be Denon was released After Sony metal master?

Since it does not has a Slim-case i doubt it was released in midth 90s
not having seen it in the shop dosnt mean it existed.

For example i didnt see the Tdk Ma-XG(1991ver) in shop in my area until 1994-95.

Could also be that Denon tapes was not so known as Sony and Tdk.

Also strange that Fuji didnt have expensive metal tapes.
Maxell had vertex, Sony metal master, Tdk had ma-xg, denon MG-X but Fuji only had inexpensive metal tapes ?

I don't remember there being any super fancy Fuji tapes. But if there were, my guess is that they were released in Japan only. Maybe?

    The Axia Master design quality is far bellow Sony and Tdk.
    First this XD Master photo is impressive look a bit like the Silver looking Tdk Ma-xg from 1986;
    
    Axia Xd Master:

    Axia HD master look similar:

    Then when I look at this picture of SD master (similar to Xd and sd?)
    It look like a cheap Silver painting that peel off after use (no good):
    
    See SD master:

    Now If anyone could post a Big Close up of the Xd and SD Tape
    i would apreciate it.
    
    But my opinion is that Fuji Never made Expensive quality metal tapes
    as Sony, Tdk, Maxell and Denon did.
    
    I would rather compare the Axia XD/SD/HD tapes with Teac open reel casette
    as for the quality of the material.
    
    Now i wouldnt mind buying 1 or 2 of those Axia XD/HD tapes
    The most expensive tape i got from Fuji is the Fuji JP metal (1992) and the Fuji Z metal (1994/1996)
