I enjoyed the movie, it is based on the manga by Clamp. It has beautiful animation and voice acting but the story is cut down from the original manga.I give X: The Movie a 6/10
... View MoreWhenever one of the psychic warriors in this bit of fluff goes into battle, his long hair shoots straight up as waves of power radiate out. This happens a lot and the visuals here are pretty cool, but everything else is a negative.The story comes off as weak and derivative: Psychic heroes battle bad guy psychic to prevent mayhem spree. Yawn. Seen it. There are multiple psychic factions caught up in the main conflict (Dragons of Earth, Dragons of Heaven, two competing sisters, etc.) which makes for a multi- fronted war, and (I suppose) is meant to add complexity to the drama, but really it just makes it harder to keep straight who is doing what. There are so many competitors the viewer needs a scorecard and it does not help that nobody has much more life or individuality than characters in an arcade kick-boxing game. They fight. They pout. They bicker. They fight some more. Not a bad time waster but the viewer won't take much away from the experience.
... View MoreThis anime has it all, story, characters and lots of action and that is all you need to make a good anime.The anime has a good start when very soon in the movie we see a fight.And the fight is great and the characters that are fighting are awesome.X is basically about a war between good and evil and heaven and hell in a way.It also has great music through the entire movie, and the final song "Forever Love" is just great.And it is the perfect song for the end of the movie and that brings me to the final scene.Kmaui and fuma are in there final fight, kamui is trying to get fuma to stop.But it happens, kamui and fuma have a great last attack on each other and the result is fuma having no head.And kamui is in tears of the loss of the man he loves just like a brother and it is very sad that kamui is the last main character still alive.The movie has a lot of death through it, but all the characters have a absolute great death between them all.The powers that they have as well are just absolutely great.The anime is a classic in my book, i think i have seen it almost 8 times and it has never got old.If you are a anime fan then you should check this one out.Or the series/manga you might find it under the title of x/1999.X is in a category of it's own kind, and is one of my favorite films and is a anime classic.
... View MoreThis is pretty much the best anime series i have ever seen, however as with all anime series YOU MUST WATCH IT IN THE ORIGINAL Japanese it has a great and unpredictable storyline and does not drag on forever sop watch it NOW. :-). The main character is Shenwei or Kenwei, or some variation depending on who did the subtitles for a particular section and he has been born to either allow the sky or earth dragons to either end or save the world deciding on who he sides with. The two side have cool members with different very original abilities, with each one having a good reason for their respective causes but as always there is a twist meaning the ending could easily go either way. the series is series, while also having light hearted funny moments to lift the mood, definitely well worth a watch!
