A great end for a great anime.
There is not only one of the best works of the CLAMP but one of the best animes done up to today.

Honestly, it was decent series. Lots of angst but it wasn't as bad as say.. Suzuka in that way :).

I loved X, it's my favourite anime of all & deserves a 10 in my opinion, & 10's have only been given to two animes I've watch, which the other 10 goes to Death Note.

It's just so I can rate things better as I don't think anything derserves a 10 unless it's got everything important in a storyline, but I couldn't have it on a scale with Bleach which I gave a 9 as I think X is better.

Anyway, the story was very deep & interesting, & wow, such drama & death! The series is a very heartbreaking one but that's why it's so good. I felt so sorry for Kamui & Subaru, aww, two angst cuties. XD

The only thing it could've had more of was a bit more background on the characters or even a background at all since Hinato, Kanoe, Yuuto & Kusangai weren't given one.

Nataku had some but what about her/his parents. She/he always spoke of her/his dad looking like Fuuma & Karen looking like her/his mum, so there was a little emotion there. I felt sorry for her/him.

I felt sorry for Seishiro too because he didn't have emotions which isn't his fault really, & then episode 16 came & I cry everytime because it's got to be the most saddest episode of X ever! *Bawl* I think he should've had more screen time too, as he only appeared in 3 episodes (two being proper appearances but in ep 14 you see him twice for a few moments.) Now that's just not right, Seishiro rocks!

I also think ep 16 should've turned out different because I can't accept it really, although I do prefer canon storylines to non-canon, but poor Subaru... It's just too sad & cruel for my liking. I wish there was an alternate ending for that ep or a sequel of him coming back, but Clamp says when someone dies, they stay dead. :( At least there's fanfiction (good ones!)

Aoki & Daisuke also didn't have much of a background, & Fuuma & Kotori during the 6 years Kamui was away would've been interesting, but I think the rest of the cast had short but pretty good backgrounds.

The ending was quite acceptable & not too tragic, although it is (nooo, Kamui!) but it was for the greater good. The ending fight scene's conclusion seemed too quick for me... but maybe it was meant to be like that, since Kamui couldn't really fight Fuuma, thus he wasn't suppose to last long in a fight against him.

The movie was quite bad though, since that had A LOT of death too, but the storyline was basically taken away which was an awful shame because the animation was beautiful!

Okay I'm done! Wow I can sure type when it comes down to something I feel like talking a lot about. :D
