Production notes

Based on the manga in "Asuka" magazine by the CLAMP collective.

Extensive promotion preceding this movie included "X2," a 25-minute music video made with the rock group X-Japan.

The title "X: 1999" wasn't used in the film's English-language release, as that didn't take place on video until 2000.

Soon after the film's release, a TV series was announced as a future project from Yoshiaki Kawajiri. A video prequel was released in August 2001.
