Trivia
At the time of the film's production, the manga it was based on was less than half-finished, forcing the filmmakers to create an ending and attempt to compensate for incomplete character development. The television series X (2001) retells a more complete version of the manga's storyline, though it is also not entirely accurate to the source material.

Quotes
Yuzuriha Nekoi: I'm sorry. I guess I'm no good at helping with things like this. You know, I never did find anyone to love. I wish there was someone who would cry for me when I die.
[her strength fades, and her final line is heard in Kamui's mind alone]
Yuzuriha Nekoi: Kamui... promise that you'll protect the ones you love always!

Crazy credits
At the end of the closing credits there is a brief shot of the Tokyo Tower standing amidst the ruins of Tokyo.

Alternate versions
Nudity was blurred out when aired on when aired on the Sci-Fi Channel (Ani-Monday).

This movie kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie was great!....there was a lot of action and suspense! The animation was the best that I've seen....even though it was "saving the world" again the way it was set up was the bomb! there were many charcters....the fight between each rival (i.e. Kamui & Fuuma) was just amazing....the fight scenes were very bloody, but thats a good thing because in X when someone gets hurt you can already see blood. Not like in some other anime movies there is no blood anywhere....The way the characters interacted with each other really showed the reason why they were destined to fight one another.

If you like action, suspense, and "special powers"; X is the movie for you.....For those of you who didn't read the manga and just saw the movie and said that you didn't understand it....well thats your problem....I say read the manga first, then see the movie. Then you people can say what you want......I read the manga first!!! ^_^
