Well, lets see. First of all, I really liked the anime. The anime focuses quite a bit on the characters (Tons of main characters, 16 if I remember right, and most of them have at least an entire episode devoted to their background, personality, etc.). The animation is gorgeous (in my opinion at least), and the story moves fast enough to stay interesting. If you've seen the movie, then you'd know the basic story, but I think that the series blows the movie out of the water (2.5 hours isn't nearly enough time for the story they were trying to show). Well, I think that's about it, I definitely recommend you watch it, just make sure to start with ep 1 and not ep 0 as ep 0 contains some spoilers.

The one thing I like better about the movie is Sorata. He's just kinda annoying in the series, but a total badass in the movie.

Wow, he was my favorite character in the series (Yuuto as a close second). I dunno, I guess it depends on whether you think he belongs (he's kind of a comic relief character in the series). You gotta admit though, he was pretty damn badass at the end of ep 23 (I think it was 23...)

So far I have lived what I've seen, I havent finished the series but I did watch the OVA and asked what the hell that was about, it was half an hourof nothing. And I do agree the animation it spectacular, definetly my thrid favorite (after vampire hunter d bloodlust, and the cut scenes from wild arms 2.)

I've only seen the first 3 episodes, but I like what I see so far. The plot is going a little slow, but it's following the manga a hellavu lot better than the movie.

I haven't seen the OAV yet, (Probably in the next few days), but the series kicks ass. There's some twists in it that you can see coming, but others that are way out of the blue. Eventually it all makes sence! :shock: My friend tells me the movie is very different from the series though.

I've only seen X - the Movie.
And I can't say I understood very much of it. People (seemingly important) coming and going, fighting then dying. Was no real point if you haven't read the manga or the series, or so I believe.
- but hugging decapitated heads seems to be a hobby in the movie =)

X is in my top 10 anime list. It's great. Although I may do a rehash of the list soon in order to include SaiKano in it.
