X (2001)
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
This series is both good and sad at the same time. The art is pretty to look at, the story line is interesting, there are a lot of good observations and lessons throughout the film, and yet the conclusion is so sad. A few choice characters do get to survive the final battle, but the majority of the characters, including the main one pictured on the cover, all sacrifice their own lives for their few friends to survive. Perhaps what makes it even worse is that they all die at each others hands. Pay attention while watching this one or you just might miss a turn of events that really makes a difference.
