During the last millenium,
many prophets, the Bible, and psychics
have predicted the apocalypse; the end of
the world. All of them have one thing in
common: the world ends in 1999.
Unfortunately for them and fortunately
for us, it didn't happen. There were no
comets raining down on us, the four
horsemen of the Apocalypes did not
appear, the Messiah did not come, and the
moon did not turn into blood. Those were
just the beginning of those predictions.
Some go as far as aliens from another
planet come to earth and destroy us.
X tells its own story of the end
of the world. It is based on a popular
manga made by the same people who brought
you Card Captors Sakura, CLAMP.
The manga is called X/1999 in
the U.S. and was the manga feature for
years in the Animerica magazine,
a popular anime/manga magazine.
The movie starts with the main character,
Kamui, sees his own mother sacrifice her
life to help her son face his destiny.
She takes out a sword out of her own body
and instantly kills herself in the
process. Kamui returns to Tokyo to save
his friends from the Apocalypes.
Unfortunately, his own friends become
part of the final battle for the future
of the planet.
The complex storyline and great music and
sound are combined to make this one of
the best anime movies ever released. It
is dubbed by Manga Video and it
is currently available right now.

Rating
One
of the best anime movies ever made. Its
complex storyline and visuals are good
enough to get its deserving score. You
may want to read some of the manga first
before watching it.
