Kent Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 I thought it was ok. by any chance, is this thread here because showtime beyond aired this movie twice yesterday. anyway, the movie was actually good and a pretty original idea. although the ending was sorta sad, how they had to fight, but with out a doubt it was nessacary. oh well. still a good flick though.

amiboshi Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Wait, is this about X TV or X the movie? Because there's a huge difference... Something about the movie was mentioned, so I'll go off that. I hated X the movie. It was just deaths lined up in a nice little row. One after another, they all died. It was too predictable. I really like Kamui and Sorata. Sorata's hillarious,maybe not in the movie, but he is. And I love Kamui just because he's Kamui. The creepy aura, the power beyond belief, the "butterfly eyes". lol. The ending was pretty awkward. It just....ends. Decapitation was a pretty bad way for Fuuma to go out. It just...poppped off... O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I saw it last night, and man...was it depressing! I loved both the Goggle Guy and the Glasses Wearing Suit (the fact that I don't remember either name is a testament to the lack of character development). It was also strangely gross, even making me feel sick in some of the dream sequences (and I watched Akira without flinching). Is X TV less depressing than this? I might buy a few DVDs.

amiboshi Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I think "the goggle guy" is Sorata....but I'm not sure. And maybe the suit guy is Aoki... You're right about character development, it lacked it completely. There was a lot of blood in X, but it's just kinda morbid like that... I wouldn't say X TV is cheery or anything, I think it's still rather depressing, but not like the movie is, that's for the sure. They're totally different... X TV was really cool, and the plot was left intact for the most part. ^-^ Plus the art is awesome... much better than the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def_Kun Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I treated the movie as a big teaser for the series so I found it bearable. Too bad Kakyou didn't make an appearance there. The series I loved very much. Making the movie, manga and series independent from one another was a great move by CLAMP. The series had better character development and more plot and story IMO. Fav character??? DOH Kamui of course!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 The X Tv-Series is good and redeems the bs that went on in the movie. If you haven't already noticed I can't stand the movie based on the fact the ending was way too rushed and horrible. The movie was pretty decent up until the end. We are coaxed into believing a great big battle is going to happen between Fuma and Kamui when slash decapitation, Kamui screams Fuma roll to credits. Very disappointing ending that I can not overlook. X-The Movie gets a 1.5 in my book, if the writers would have actually put some thought into the ending instead of using something they wipe their butts with then I would give it a solid 7. But they didn't. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 Actually i have the movie but i forgot i had it. When showtime beyond aired it it made me wonder what other people thought about it. i like the animation but it could have been better. Im a fan of x japan so i enjoyed the credits, it was one of the movies better parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I hated X the movie because they crammed a WHOLE manga series into one hour. But I still loved it at the same time because it was CLAMP and it was beautiful. :) My favorite characters were mostly women of course! Mkay, first it was Kotori because she was just this classic beauty and I wish that I looked like her. Next was Karen Kasumi because her name was Kasumi, WHOOHOO! (That's my anime name) and she just had so much sex appeal I wish I could be like her. And then was Arashi because she was caught up in a love story, and I'm ALWAYS a sucker for something romantic. And for guys, besides Kamui, I loved Nataku. Because he was so beautiful and he had a sexy name.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroBlade Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I saw the movie also and didn't like it at all.... It was just boring. Also I've never seen so many hero's die.... Of all of them (even the bad guys) only the main due was left alive. It didn't make any sense to me either so I just gotta say Blah to the movie. I have yet to see the series though....

He had that captivating grace...and the flying ribbons....gotta love those. ^-^ That made him seem even more graceful... And I love his hair and the mark he has on his head... Head-symbols are neat....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Yes, he was awesome. He had that purpleish hair going on and he just seemed more mature and elegant. Ah, sweet Nataku. And it's weird that I liked him because I usually am so Anti-Antagonist and I always fall for the good guys. :)[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same way, but Nataku is hard to resist. ;) I like Fuuma a little too, but more in the series than the movie. He looks so evil when he puts those glasses on... Fuuma's cool because he's just downright creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Asuka Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]You guys! My Media Play finally started carrying X manga! I've been waiting forever and ever for them to do it and when I went there last night they had it! But they had Crescendo, which is FAR from the first volume, and that was the only one they had on the shelf. Next time I go, if they don't have Prelude, I'm going to freaking request it! Of course, Viz and Animerica manga aren't as great as the TokyoPop in my opinion and they cost more! >.<;;[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, do they assume that the other volumes don't matter to people?:therock: Maybe they just assume everyone's read them, and they woudl be wasting money to carry them. I agree tokyopop is better than Viz. The Viz and Animerica manga costs $17 and the Tokyopop are only $10, and especially their new line are even bigger, so they're still a nice size, and almost twice as cheap.:love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
