The year 1999 is know for many things, the collapse of the NHS, Labour lies and the release of Tiburm sun for the PC. One thing that is not known about 1999 is that the city of Toyko was levelled in an apocalyptic battle between the dragons of earth and heaven. This did not actually happen.

*is too busy laughing her head off*

Someone write that in a review of X the Movie (which is brilliant, by the way). As you can tell... I found that very amusing. ^^

Near constant special effects, explosions, battles, writhing dragons, sword-plunged-into-stomach-gore, crucified girls, big-breasted-vixens-with-devillish-agendas, heroes that leap into battle yelling "Haaa-yaaah!" (and yes, I checked the subtitle for that: it said "Haaa-yaaah!"), swirling dresses, drifting sakura (cherry blossom), oceans of blood, occult symbols, crackling biomechanoids (and why not? there's everything else) and -- as seems traditional in these kind of movies -- the destruction of Tokyo, city of dreams.

As with most anime, the women are either girlishly cute or slutty, but luckily in X, there are no graphic rapes; the love interest is merely crucified three or four times.

*goes off to laugh some more*

And I should be getting X/1999 Prelude and Intermezzo! ^^

Whee! This is a very exciting update, ne? (Yep... my puns are bad. Exciting, X, get it?)
