X/1999 (Movie)

Ok, many dislike this anime, and in a way I can see why. The movie goes straight into it, the plot comes a little later on, so ur kinda confused as to what's going on at first. The plot is pretty naff, "u have to fight, ur only choice is who you'll fight for, the Earth or humanity". What kinda choice is that? Then, his best (childhood) friend must oppose him, unfair or what! Fuma develops into a truely evil being who kills everybody except 1, hmmm, who could that be? So even he dies. Ha. He deserved it. This anime is a real downer, however, it is beautifully animated with a wonderful tune at the end, 'Forever Love' (, if only it were translated so I could understand what was being said). So, worth a watch but not worth buying.

Mm... the movie prejudices people against Fuuma. Showing him as a complete evil bastard. Which works for me, but in the manga, Fuuma does have his soft side. He does what he does for a reason, even if nobody has the slightest clue as to what it is.
