1. What is your handle-name?
I think this means username due to the anwser I saw when I copied & pasted this. DarkBandicoot.
2. What reason did you pick that handle-name?
It was on YouTube when I first picked it & at the time I was into Crash Bandicoot a lot (I still like it & have done for many years!) & around the time I created a character based on Coco but a dark versain because I like dark/gothic things, so that's it. :) And here I chose the same name so people know who I am (but actually I could change it... XD)
3. What would you say of your enthusiasm for answering these questions?
I like to do them, sometimes. And it's about X! ^_^
4. How far along is your X calendar?
....?
5. How long have you known about X?
Since 2005 when I bought the movie on VCR on a market for £4, watched it, loved it (lol I really didn't know what it meant to be a good film because I thought it was good, but now I know it wasn't that good really.) I found out about a year later that there was a tv series, but totally forgot to check it out until about summer of 2008! >_< I wished I'd known sooner! :(
6. What occasion started you reading X?
After watching the anime, I checked out the manga.
7. What volume of X have you read up to?
Hmmm, tricky... Well, I've seen a lot of it right up to where it's been left off unfinished, but I haven't actually read every page, but I plan to. I want to buy the manga set.
8. What volume of X are you waiting for?
The last one... duh. -_-
9. Do you buy Asuka?
Huh?
10. Of the Ten no Ryuu, who is your favorite?
Subaru. ^_^ He's so cute & angst & shy & kind &... aww, I wanna hug him!
11. Of the Chi no Ryuu, who is your favorite?
Seishiro. He's badass & so cool! XD
12. Excluding the Ten no Ryuu and Chi no Ryuu, who is your favorite?
Hmm... probably Hokuto? I don't really like her that much but she is quite cool & sweet, but the rest of the cast don't really interest me at all much & there aren't that many characters to go on. :\
13. Out of all X, who is your favorite?
Subaru, though Seishiro comes close...
14. Which two characters are your favorite pairing/couple?
Subaru/Seishiro of course! ^_^
15. Which is your favorite volume?
Volume, volume... erm, the one on Rainbow Bridge. It's so sad! :'(
16. Which scene was the most memorable scene for you?
When Seishiro dies in Subaru's arms & speaks those words that we'll never know.... (actually we know what he said!)
17. Which short line was the most memorable line and who said it?
"This is where the heart is. Shall I rip it out & eat it for you?" Fuuma torturing Kamui, again... XD
18. Which volume's character story was your favorite?
Did Subaru have one? I can't remember but his backstory is pretty much all of Tokyo Babylon. Seishiro's was interesting though, but... making out with his mum though... XD
19. Have you seen the movie? Feel free to tell your impressions.
Yes, I own it on DVD now but I still have the VCR to sell. XD I thought buying the DVD might have extras on it but not really. Oh well. Seeing the film first is bad & when Subaru & Seishiro died so quickly, I didn't feel sorry for them since I didn't know who they were. The film's just too squashed up too & EVERYONE dies, except Kamui, which sucks! The anime/manga is so much better!
20. Were there any cast voices in the movie that you thought were sharp/perfect?
LOL, someone did a review about the film & said that Kamui's dub was awful. I agree, especially when he says "Stay therrrre!" Fuuma should also be in Thundercats due to those "manly yells." Wow, that part made me laugh! >< Check the review out, it's funny. :)
21. If you had made the movie, what kind of movie would it be?
The film would have totally been different for me because a story like that squashed into a film should never happen.
I would focus on the story of what happened after the ending, kind of like a slice of life story. It would be totally different to what X is about but it's not like I can carry on when the world has already been saved. This isn't Dragonball Z or Naruto (NOTE: I like those animes, I'm just saying you can't keep the story going.)
22. Have you seen the TV anime? Feel free to tell your impressions?
Yes! ^_^ I loved it! I only concern is that I think Subaru's & Seishiro's & Kamui's & Fuunma's last fights was too short, though thinking about it, would Kamui have lasted much longer in a fight against his best friend/lover? Probably not, but I think Subaru & Seishiro should have had some sort of bitch talk of some kind & a lot more anger (from Subaru's side obviously. XD)
23. Were there any cast voices in the TV anime that you thought were sharp/perfect?
I hate Seishiro's dub! >_< Subaru's & Sorata's were okay, though the Japanese overall is better. Fuuma's dub was excellent though! Kamui's was quite good. Hmmm... the dub was quite good I think, I can't remember everyone's dubbed voice.
24. If you had made the TV anime, what kind of series would it be?
Put everything that's in the manga into the tv series, especially the glass scene with Fuuma & Kamui (wow I'm cruel! XD Sorry I like gore & stuff!) & Seishiro's & Subaru's moment when you can actually see Subaru clinging to Seishiro's coat as he's dying, & Seishiro touches Subaru's face. Aww, sweet, but so sad! :'( Include all the Sub/Sei moments in there too like the touching (XD), fight scene moments, etc. Or, dare I say it, scrap the whole Seishiro death thing & let him live. I'm sorry if I sound like a hopeless fangirl (seriously, I'm not scary like some are O_o;), but that storyline is just too sad for me & I won't let it go until there's an alternate versian of it or if he comes back to life... or if Subaru dies & is re-united with him. Then I'll be happy!
25. Between the original work, the movie, and the TV anime, which is your favorite?
I prefer anime to manga in general but the manga is better... but I still like to watch rather than read, so maybe a bit of both? LOL, movie!? How is that better!?
26. Are there any other X fans around you?
One friend when I told her about it, though I think she just likes it & is not really a fan, at least not like me!
27. Have you told anyone you know that you like X?
Only over the internet (I haven't told anyone else I know about it, though most don't like anime/manga anyway, though there are two more people... & a girl I met the other day. I'll tell her!)
Cast and Characters
28. What was your first impression of Kamui's first statement "Only him, I will kill".
First statement? O_o; I'm confused... kill who?
29. Actually, did you notice that Subaru from TB is in the above scene? Furthermore, how long did it take you to notice?
I knew it! I remember Subaru saying that before reading this question, not Kamui! I noticed after a while.
30. What do you say to the fact that the end of the century's "Promised Day of 1999" was quite a while ago?
Yeah... 9 years... hmmm, yeah, that's all. =p
31. How long do you think Hinoto's hair is?
3 metres.
32. Where do you think Arashi's sword always exist?
I honestly don't know. :\ I mean, how did it get there!? Did it already exist? It must have... either that or someone forced a sword in her arm! XD Ouch!
33. After their father died, from where do you think Fuuma and Kotori were being supplied their living funds?
The government maybe? Not that it mattered, because Fuuma turned evil & lives at the Dragon of Earth's hideout & Kotori died.
34. What do you think Inuki is made up of?
He's a spirit dog, so I don't think he really exists as a living creature. Remember, no one can see him, except special people. And hair of course. A dog's gotta have hair! XD
35. The sakura tree holds a presence within Seishirou but from where do you think all of the sakura blossoms come from?
They grow from the tree as normal? Or... if you mean by how do they grow, then with blood! Buy your stock of blood today to makes those white blossoms go away! XD
36. What did you say when Fuuma went evil/mad?
Wow, he touched Kamui's face! >< That's hot. Erm, then something along the lines of being badass.
37. What did you say at Kotori's death?
Nothing, though it was sad.
38. What did you say when Kamui's personality changed?
I thought he was much cuter.
39. After that (Kamui's decision), do you think Fuuma continued to go to school? Furthermore, where do you think he is living now?
Do you really think Fuuma would attend school as "Kamui"!?
Teacher: Fuuma.
Fuuma/"Kamui": No, my name is "Kamui"! RAAAAR! *blows school up*
I also think he lives a the DOE's hideout.
40. Fuuma before or after his awakening (as Dark Kamui), which do you prefer/like?
After, though before Fuuma was really nice too & cool. :) But sadist Fuuma wins!
41. What did you say about the enshrinement location for the Shinken?
Nothing.
42. Who do you think pays the rent for the place where Kamui's group is staying?
The man they're living with.
43. Why do you think Sorata wears his own clothes (not a uniform) around CLAMP campus?
Doesn't everyone where their own clothes in CLAMP campus?
44. Say something about Saiki-kun.
He blushes a lot!
45. Inuki or Ko-inuki, which do you prefer/like?
Inuki. What's Ko-Inuki? O_o;
46. Do you really think that Fuuma and Seishirou went on a gourmet tour through Tokyo?
Probably. I wish that part was in the anime. And they'd have so much to talk about their little boy toys. XD
47. Kusanagi said that "Fuuma looks like everyone, and yet he also looks different than everyone" but, who do you think he (Fuuma) looks the most like?
Kusanagi? I got confused when he "changed" into Kusanagi because I don't think there was a great deal of change, not that they look the same, but similar... I think.
48. Furthermore, who do you think is the one he looks least like?
Aoki? Or if you're referring to anyone & not just male characters, then Hinoto! XD
49. What do you think Seishirou said to Subaru at the very end?
A confession of love.
50. When he becomes a Chi no Ryuu, the hair style, etc, are similar to long ago (TB) Subaru, but which (style) do you prefer/like better?
Did it? I hadn't noticed. Now that you mention it, he has more hair as the Sakurazukamori. How'd that happen though!? It sure grew fast! More hair is cuter though I think.
51. How did you feel about the kissing scene suddenly turning to the bed scene between Sorata and Arashi?
I was happy for them, even though Arashi is I think suppose to be 15, but she looks about 17, but now that I think about it, as underage sex, is it really an issue when the world mind end or that one of them might die (which one did!)? I don't think so.
52. Up until now, how many hotels has Yuuto gone to do you think?
I dunno, why does it matter? :\
53. What did you say at Nataku's death?
What a crap way to die!
54. Who do you not want to die (or didn't want to die)?
Seishiro, Kamui & Hokuto, but especially Seishiro!
55. Do you think that Kamui's father will show up?
No, though people have said as a joke that Seishiro is Kamui's dad.... LOL! No, just no, that's just so wrong!
56. Where do you think that Kamui had obtained his recent jacket from?
How should I know!?
57. Where do you think Subaru and Seishirou got the coats they are wearing?
A gentlemen clothes shop for Seishiro (only the finest for an assassin, & he probably gets paid a lot to buy such nice suits.) For Subaru, anywhere! He just saw it & bought it.
58. Out of all the Ten no Ryuu and Chi no Ryuu, who do you think has the most money?
Seishiro no doubt. Killing people is serious business! XD I bet he eats at the finest restuarants too.
59. Who is the strongest due to their powers?
Fuuma I think since he is the leader of the DOE, which kind of sucks that Seishiro as an assassin comes second. It doesn't fit right?
60. Who would you poke fun at? (very loose trans)
In real life? Sorata. As just a show, anyone, since I can't be killed by fictional characters! XD

No but I've seen a bit of episode one but it's not for me I think.
62. What did you think when you heard Tokiko say "CLAMP Campus"?
Nothing I don't think either because I didn't know of CLAMP or I just wasn't paying attention, but later I was like "Oh, CLAMP Campus, heh."
63. What were your thoughts on the entry of the three (CCD) as adults?
Quite cool.
64. When do you think the three of them became aware of the involvement of the campus in the End of the World?
Dunno.
65. Write out (what you think) Nokoru's message when he became to campus chairman.

68. Have you read Tokyo Babylon?

69. When Subaru's name came out of Sorata's mouth, what did you think?
Nothing, since X was the first time I ever saw Subaru.
70. Please express your words of sympathy for Subaru, who lost his right eye.
I feel so broken hearted & I just want to hug him & be like a younger sister to him.
71. What did you say about the relationship between Hokuto and Kakyou?
Cute. I'm glad they're together in the afterlife.
72. What did you say at Seishirou's death?
Nothing to being with since I didn't know what the hell was going on, but then I cry everytime & it's just so sad!
73. What did you say about Subaru's wish?
Aww. :(
74. What did you say about Hokuto's spell?
OMG!
75. Do you think that Seishirou really won the "bet"?
No. To kill yourself is a big step if really you were like "I don't love you, but I let you kill me anyway coz I felt like it." He thought Subaru hated him so he thought it's what Subaru wanted, & that's why he did it. There's no other reason. Either that or he actually did try to kill Subaru anyway by risking his life to see if the spell would really work, because maybe he was bored & dying wouldn't mean anything to him... but I don't want to think of it like that.
76. From now, what do you think is going to become of Subaru?
He'll live on I guess as the next Sakurazukamori. Poor Subaru! :(
Parallel
77. If you were to become a Ten no Ryuu or Chi no Ryuu, which one would you chose?
I really don't know. Either way I'd have to fight/kill people. :(
78. What is your reason for the above?
I can't decide because either way, each side is good in their own way (except Fuuma, Seishiro & Satsuki) so I'd be killing innocent people, but I am concerned about the Earth...
79. If you were to become one of the characters in X, who would you want to be and what would you do?
Probably Arashi since I'm most like her, but I would be nicer to Sorata.
80. You are doing "Cinderella" on stage. (Of X characters) Who would you cast? (You can include yourself)
Ummm.... I really don't know. Though I read some of a Subaru & Seishiro fanfiction versian of this. XD Though Subaru can't be in a dress! >< It would be romantic though.
81. Friend, sibling, lover - If it were to happen, who would you chose for each respectively.
Friend: Subaru, Kamui, nice Fuuma, Sorata, Arashi, Yuzuriha, Karen... etc. Most characters except Satsuki & Kanoe. O_o;
Sibling: Same as above.
Lover: Kamui or Fuuma (that is if they're straight or bi) or Sorata or Subaru if he was straight. XD And Seishiro if he was a lot younger & not a killer. I'm only 20 damnit!
82. If Kamui was a normal human, what occupation do you think he would have?
Dunno.
83. This is a cooking battle between the Ten no Ryuu and Chi no Ryuu. Which side do you think would win?
Ha, well Sorata's a good cooker, but I'm guessing that Seishiro also is since I bet after killing once a night, he can do whatever he wants with all that free time! Arashi & Subaru I bet would be terrible cooks while Yuzuriha & Kamui are still young. Aoki's wife probably does most of the cooking for him & Karen lives on her own. *Sigh* I'm going into this a bit deep aren't I. I say it's Sorata vs Seishiro!
84. Whose abilities are the abilities that you want most?
Either Karen's, Yuuto's, Subaru's, Seishiro's or Kamui's.
