 "Great Anime"No matter what anyone tells you, this is one of the best anime's you will ever see. Not a great ending, but all in all it is great, good animation, good music, good storyline. I have seen many anime films, and this is one of my favorites.  "I gave this movie a "passing" grade b/c I am a fan of X"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. "DON'T LISEN TO THE OTHER REVIEWERS. LISEN TO ME!!!!!!"This movie is a fantasy masterpiece. The animation is perfect, the character desing is great, the story is cool, the action is awesome and the graphics are also perfect!!! I know that there are many bad reviews about this anime and the main reason is that is not loyal to the manga and the prequel Tokio Babylon. I didn't watched the tv serie, the manga and the prequel and now I am NOT INTERESTED because I don't want to hate this masterpiece. DON'T WATCH this movie unless you don't know anything about X!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT FACT: This movie is NOT action-packed!!!!! If you liked Akira and Princess Mononoke then maybe you will love this one. But if you are searching for animes like Ninja Scroll, Dragonball, Black Lion and Yuyo Hakusho then you will hate it, but don't worry!! this anime is NOT THAT SLOW as Ghost in the Shell and Perfect Blue. ADIOS!  "mindless garbage"given i was told i had to have watched the series in order to understand the movie, i wouldve assumed anyways the series wouldve sucked. given my barely luke warmness to anime in general this movie starts cooling the waters even more. The movie is crammed with mythological non sense, charachters that are hardly even written, and a storyline thats feels slapped togther out of poor ideas. Visually nice but riddled with clihe'd anime designs. the storyline feels like filler as everything is focused on the action. but everything becomes so over the top and bloody that its hard not ntoice that the whoel things a mess. within mess may have been something a little more compelling if the whole didnt seem so much like some sort of death match between foes like its dragon ball z. which is pretty my reason of cooling waters for anime  "The Other Side of X"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. |
