PepsiZacksLover At the very first time I've watched this movie when I was little like nine years old with my brother, and I can't get my eyes off this movie. I mean the story is pretty simple, and has very wonderful drawing. After this movie, I was so shock when my brother said "It is suck, all about one story". I could tell that the X movie was my favorite of whole anime movies I've watched. Well I better close my blabbing.This movie is about seven angels of the Dragons of the Earth and Dragons of the Heaven each fighting for the future of the world. Also there is one dreamwatcher each for the heaven and earth. The dreamwatcher see what will happens in the future and warning its group. The Tokyo city are the shield of the world where the Dragon of the Heaven protects, and Tokyo city are also where the Dragons of the Earth are staying, and destroy at first before whole the world.Those characters in this movie are very wonderful because those characters are reasonable characters, especially Hinoto, a dreamwatcher, Kamui, one of the Dragons of the Heaven, even more! There is about, I guess almost 20 characters in this movie and every of them are good characters. Also later when I keep watching this movie, there's a girl, her name is Satsuki, her power is a cable of digital world, like fighting with the cable wires underground. I never thought a character with power like this.Also reason why this was my favorite of all anime is because of the beginning when Kamui's mother killed herself to give the sword to Kamui. It's hard for me to explain, but I really like the cherry blossoms flying around, how Kamui and mother stare each other, and how his mother get the sword out of her stomach. It's just so beautiful.All I can say, try it out! Don't be afraid. Also this has half sad and half good ending if you want to know.

boxybrown305 The series, X (known as X/1999 in America) is truly a great series. However, this movie did essentially no justice to it. If its your first time seeing any part of the series, it really wont mean anything to you, and is just plain a bad way to start a good thing.To enjoy this series to its fullest: a)read the Tokyo Babylon manga, b)see both Tokyo Babylon movies, c)read the X manga, d)see the X TV series (but watch episode zero AFTER the rest of the series), e)THEN watch the movie (it has cool scenes that weren't in the series and a MUCH better ending). If you don't do it all in that relative order, you'll really miss out on a lot.If you like the TB and X series, and want more anime/manga that is similar, I highly recommend that you should see the Neon Genesis: Evangelion series, movies, and manga (again, see the series first, and keep in mind that the movies basically replace the last two episodes of the series.Overall: I give the X movie a 6/10 because it really has minimal story, and will instantly have you lost, if you've seen nothing of it before. Otherwise, it is a pretty good anime to compliment the series, plus a much better, clearer, and actually conclusive ending.

sephiroth-10 This is X. It's an anime title about an apocalypse; where two groups of chosen people, the dragons of heaven and dragons of earth, have to fight for how it's going to end. That's about it. Given this, you may think X is a simple film. You are wrong.I'll start with the gore factor. This is in NO way a child's cartoon. It's a blood soaked movie that ends with a character's head being cut off (sorry, I hope that didn't spoil anything). The main issue is the storyline. I'm not sure which came first, the show or the movie. But I do know this: if you've seen the series first, you're in for a much better show. This film is full of wrong and opposite endings, and if you observe and pay good attention, you'll figure out a big twist.Animation is smooth. It's like a fall leaf gently gliding over a still pond with a plastic bag dancing from a gentle breeze above......... well, you get the picture.Tracks. They are...... mm, not really suiting. If only they kept Sadame from the series....... Sound is a whole different issue. The sound is great. Very smooth.All in all, this is a pretty good movie. But if you lookin for movie night movies, this is FAR from it. It's smooth, it's good storyline; simple, yet a thinker movie, and simply amazing. Clamp's art is dazzling, and they don't use computer effects. I would rate it:[*] [*] [*] [*] [*] [*] [*] [*] [ ] [ ] 8/10

akabandprincess I too think that the movie could be a lot better in many ways, but don't let this force you away from the X saga. The series is excellent. So is the manga. I watched the movie first, and i didn't understand most of it. One warning i will give you is that you must be in an angsty, chaos-like mood if you wish to watch this. Unless you are completely obsessive it can seem down right boring. However, after you do some research, a lot of the plot (if there is one) starts to fall into place. For all the fan girls, most of the guys turn into bishounen later on in the series/manga. So, don't give up on them yet. If you love an anime full of angst, complete with death and sakura petals, i suggest this one. Even if you think the movie stinks, watch the series or read the mangas.
