Review of X

X (1996)
7/10
Dragons Of The Earth v Dragons Of The Heaven, A showdown for Earth, it's X!
5 March 2006
X combines some of the best action sequences that i have seen in an anime production, with highly explosive action that goes in detail of Tokyo, Japan in wreckage. This movie is adapted from the comic strip X, which goes into more detail of character i believe. A simple story, of good against bad like many movies, and with people that have powers just like seen in X comic i am told. Abilities to control water, fire, machinery, and one who has the help from an invisible dog.

The story is about Kamei (Tomokazu Seki) who is seek-ed by both sides of Dragons of the earth and Heaven to see which side he will join in the showdown for planet earth. A simple story which some would say and know has been done before, but for the anime or fantasy fan who loves action and dazzling anime then look no further as X could be the one for you. Movie viewers who are looking for a more complicated orientated adult anime, then this one is for you, the movie has it's moments of high's but also lacks originality. The characters are bought to life quite well, and the English versions feature the voice overs of Toni Barry (Karen Kasumi) and Rupert Degas (Shuogo Asagi). Overall there is worse out there, and is definitely worth checking out. 7/10
