2- Characters. While the whole epic aspect may signify the plot is what should be important, X's strenght is its characters. Also... it's like a car crash. They are all DOOMED. Sorata is doomed and he is fine with it, so he is extremely likeable. Subaru is doomed, but yet he is extremely interesting to watch because he is a person who knows he wants something and at the same time hates himself for wanting it. Also, I like it because it's not a happy story, it's more like a study on destiny and how those caught in fate react.
7- Ahahahahaha! Ever since I added that to my interests I've been waiting for someone to ask about it. I'll explain: I'm a fan of adventure games and one of my favorites is the Monkey Island series. The protagonist always tries to escape by claiming "Look! There's a three headed monkey behind you!". At one point of the game he gets ignored and a three-headed-monkey does show up... that should give you a hint of the fantastic Pirates-of-the-Caribbean inspired crack the games are. My whole family loves those games and my brother and me often use lines from the game as an in-joke.
