X/1999 (Movie)
Very well-animated, but very few likable characters, a very very strange storyline, and extremely apocalyptic. Too depressing (well, except I didn't care too much about very many of the characters...).

X/1999 (Movie)
Truly a fantastic visual masterpiece! This is a film that has multiple replay value. The plot and it's execution is unlike any other anime. People may say that it's "too depressing." Well, I say that's FANTASTIC!. A truly original technique in anime. All too often I've seen where the good guys kill all the bad guys and have a wonderful bonding experience at the end as the sun comes shining thru the stormy clouds over Tokyo. Refreshingly, that doesn't happen in 'X.' In this film, you'll see very likeable characters get massacred. You'll see plot twists that you won't expect. All that and fantastic animation as well as a great soundtrack make 'X' one of the best anime around.

Its just the most amazing story from Clamp. The betrayal, the superb art in the backround and yet the manga-style of the characters. I just had a chance to read the manga and is just what i expected and more... i even bought its soundtrack, Forever Love, Rules!!

The animation is spectacular, but the story is HORRIBLE!!! It took me two months to watch this its so BORING. Gawd, it takes forever. The ending is pretty cool though even though it takes twenty years to get there.

X/1999 is, in a word, wonderful. Rivaling some of the greats of
anime, such as Escaflowne, Nausicaa, Mononoke Hime, and Akira, this
movie combines an engaging plot with nigh unmatched animation quality
and artwork. In a decade of watching anime, i have seen few which
compare, and fewer still i would call better.
But the book is better. It takes more time to introduce all the
charachters (and with 14 major players, that takes time a movie just
can't have) and to further develop the story. In either format, how-
ever, this work is outstanding.
Once again, CLAMP: Banzai!

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.

X/1999 has its good points and its bad points.

Many critics claim that it is difficult for a person who has not read the original X/1999 manga to enjoy this film, but as this site proves, many people are very happy with what they see.. even if they know nothing about the Tokyo Babylon universe, CLAMP, the manga, TV series or even anime.

The art and animation is nice... if you like what you see in online screen-shots and the cover art then you shouldn't be disappointed.

The plot is (in my opinion) aimed at a masculine audience. When I saw this film it put me in mind of the old mindset of anime importers to english speaking countries: "Make it violent or sexy and people will be fascinated by these sensational and contraversial asian cartoons". To my mind this film choses violence and aggression over creative character development. I'd say it has little emotional resonance as a result, though a lot of that is as a result of trying to cram so much story into so little time. If you like fighting and blood in anime you may just love it.

Inappropriate for young audiences, this is a plot for older teenage and adult audiences. It contains supernatural themes, violence, an apocalyptic storyline and the deaths of many of the major characters. In my opinion? it could be depressing.. if you ever felt like you knew or could identify with any of them. Humour isn't really a feature in this production

The soundtrack was cool. Nice use of music, however if you want a 5.1 mix the Zone 1 and 4 release DVDs only have that for the English track. The Japanese track is in stereo only.

I felt that this film was 98 minutes of my life that I'm not getting back. I had already seen the TV series and that is a production that had more of the manga (still in production to this day) to base it on and basically a lot more time to go into character development. I have always got more pleasure from stories with emotional resonance than flashy fights and gore.

The film was not painful enough for me to want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.. but not engaging enough for me to suffer a rewatch.

Well, X is my all time favourite manga.. but the movie is lacking in the plot. I suppose it gets the main idea across, but it just takes the phrase "based on" to a new level.

The beginning is completely random, with the death of Subaru and Seishirou (my all time two favourite characters). Then there's a little plot. Then people just start running around and dying.

Then, to top it all off, it ends with Kamui waving his sword around dangerously, and somehow manages to lop Fuuma's head off. Which he catches and cries over. End movie. It leaves avid fans thinking "wtf?"

On its own, it's a fairly decent movie and can be enjoyable. But it completely fails in comparison to the brilliant manga done by CLAMP.
