  • Basada en: X

X, also known as X/1999 and X: The Movie, is a 1996 Japanese animated film directed by Rintaro and animated by Madhouse. Rintaro wrote it alongside Clamp head writer Nanase Ohkawa. It is based on the 1992 manga series by Clamp. It premiered on August 3, 1996, in Japan and had a limited screening in North America in 2000. The film focuses on the roles Kamui Shiro, Kotori Monou, and Fuma Monou play in the Apocalypse. After his mother's death, the young Kamui returns to Tokyo to participate in a Holy War between two groups who seek to either protect humankind or protect nature at the cost of humankind.

Production

The movie was directed by Rintaro, who previously directed the music video X2 based on the manga. He was requested by the editorial Kadokawa Shoten for unknown reasons, which he believes it was due to his work on Harmageddon, a 1983 film that employs different themes from the X manga. He aimed Asami Watanabi's script as a base to develop scenes of his liking.

The characters were designed by Nobuteri Yuki while the music was produced by Yasuaki Shimizu. X was the first time Rintaro used computer animation in his career. The character Shogo Asagi was created exclusively to the movie. Kadokawa Shoten editor Seichiro Aoki supervised the film which gave a large surprise when learning that one of the characters was modeled after him but written in different Japanese characters.

The film was given a limited release in the United States in early 2000 and released to VHS and DVD on September 25, 2001, by Manga Entertainment. X: The Destiny War, a comic book based on the feature film, was released on September 30, 1996. The X Japan song "Forever Love", composed by Yoshiki, was chosen as the film's theme song. "Forever Love" also appears on the soundtrack of the film.

The X Character Files (キャラクターファイル, Kyarakutā Fairu) were released from June 1996 to December 1996 by Victor Entertainment. The seven audio dramas, scripted by Nanase Ohkawa, focus on the thoughts and motivations of the individual Dragons of Heaven and Earth. The Character Files are performed by the feature film voice actors. They were created to promote the film version of the manga.
