X - The Movie

Summary: The Other Side of X
Review: Some people are very critical of this movie. Warning Spoilers. One reason is that the plot is to the point and everyone dies excpet the main character Kamui. The good thing about this movie is that the animation is very unique. If you have seen the series and the prequal tokyo baybalon then you will not be dissapointed. These are the things that you want to see. The fights to death, the graphic vilolence. If you haven't seen the series well you will either hate it or love it. But it all depends on you, see the prequal and series then watch this. you will not be dissapointed.

Summary: I gave this movie a "passing" grade b/c I am a fan of X
Review: I have just finished watching this movie and would like to say the following:

If you HAVE SEEN the TV series(like myself), I wouldn't be surprised if you were a bit disappointed by the movie. Personally, I don't want to blame it on the 100-minute time constraint, rather, I think it was the director who had failed to interpret the story(well, maybe it has to do with the fact that the manga was not yet completed that time?).

If you HAVE NOT SEEN the TV series and want to know why everything happened the way they happened(yeah, I know, you tried your best to figure it out...), PLEASE GO SEE THE TV SERIES (24 episodes). You will get better story-telling and character-building and of course, same excellent music score and fighting scenes. Oh, btw, expect a much more touching ending also! (girls, get your klinex ready)

Advice to ladies of CLAMP: make up your minds.

Enough said, ciao.

Summary: X- Marvelously depressing
Review: This Anime is great I do not know where all the criticism stems from. Yes, I have seen the television series and while it is, better this is a fine film. It can be confusing at times with all the flash backs and plot gaps but it is not random crazy $hit like Fooly Cooly (FlCl, which I love). I offer a solution to this confusion, and it is to see the television series and pretend that this movie is just the glorious last episode, trust me it will be a much more enjoyable viewing experience. So if you do not mind naked women puling swords out of their stomach, a young girl being decapitated on a giant metal cross, or a Dragon of heaven (humans that fight to save humanity with their super powers) being smashed by a train, cut to pieces, ripped in two, or one of the main characters get his head chopped clean off this is the anime for you! Oh yeah!

Summary: X...Not the best version of it...
Review: Kamui Shirou, a young man whose decisions can alter the fate of all the world...
Join the Dragons of Earth, and save the planet by destroying the world of mankind?
Or join the Dragons of Heaven, and save mankind...have hope that mankind will mend their ways...and the planet...
Which will he choose? What is the destiny of mankind?
That's basically the story...
Ah...the television series is PHENOMENAL!!! And so, thinking that the movie would perhaps be a shorter version of a wonderful television series, I bought the movie, only to be disappointed. The characters whom you come to love in the manga and in the TV series are just unimportant walk-ons that have their stories explained in a couple screenshots and a few lines...And the ending changed DRASTICALLY...the manga, I think, isn't finished being written yet, but the television series has definitely been finished, and it by FAR SURPASSES this...this...mockery of a great Clamp series. Sure, the movie is alright...but if you keep in mind what exactly this movie is trying to adapt (the manga, and the television series(even tho the TV series came after the movie...)), it just isn't up to par...
I definitely recommend that you see the television series...It was so good that I finished it in one day...I swear, all 11 hours or so of it, and I even watched some episodes twice!

Summary: For me one of the greatest anime movies I' ve ever seen!!!!!
Review: This manga is the first movie that i've watched in my life. On the other reviews i don't have anthing to complain, i'ts their rating. I was so impressed with the animation that i must buy the Dvd. I don't know how the english translation made this movie (or have changed their soundtrack) (because I've watched the german syncrhronization of this movie) I could admit that for the people who are watching this movie for the first time, is going to be a little complicated.The characters dying in the movie (and you couldn't even remember their names!!!). For the full explanation of this movie that was not explaned you should watch the X - Series, that tells you the story that wasn't shown in the movie. About going deeper in the lives of the heaven and earth dragons before they even knew that they are involved in the battle that will decide the faith of the world in the city of Tokyo... In the series everthing is happening for about a month, but in the movie everything has ended less than 24 hours!!! Great movie!!! Don't miss!!!

P.S. I recommend to watch the prequel to X - The movie (first watch X) "Tokyo Babylon" about Subaru Sumeragi that investigates the mysterious murders in Tokyo... I can't wait to watch it!!!
