About Project Babylon

We all know Subaru takes it Project Babylon is my presentation of Tokyo Babylon 1999, an incredibly rare chapter in the Tokyo Babylon / X saga, to the fan community. I was lucky to be on Ebay while the VHS was being auctioned off from Japan at a price far lower than the high norm. My Japanese is marginal, so I am piecing together the movie based on what I know from the manga, Pei Lee’s synopsis, and various other Japanese movie websites. Many of my sources conflict, so some information (dates, character ages, name spellings) may be inacurate. If you spot any incorrect information regarding the movie and can prove otherwise, please email. I want this to be a comprehensive and accurate site.

I would not call this movie ‘life changing’. With its minimal character development and nearly-copied plot (Anybody remember the “party line” story from volume 3 of the manga? Yeah.), it really does not flesh out the story in ways the manga failed to reveal. It is not like the X drama tracks, which reveal a significant portion of Seishirou’s past. It is probably on the same level of relevance as the Tokyo Babylon OVA: fun, a treat for fans, and a new story, but not theory-shattering by any means. It, like the final chapter in the seventh volume of the manga, shows Subaru’s life alone between the two series. The special effects are terrible, the actors are marginal, and the music is no Kanno Yoko score. It is grade-A Japanese horror B-flick, but since it involves Subaru and Seishirou and I am obsessed, it is suddenly of interest.

They're best friends So we’re all just here to have fun. And, oh, the fun we will have.

I have spent quite a bit of time obsessively analyzing / writing fanfiction about / cosplaying / etc Tokyo Babylon and X, so yeah, I kind of like it. Numerous fans out there are in the same, somewhat frightening boat. Hopefully this site will be of interest to fellow obsessive fans, because I really, really am trying over here to make a website guarenteed to kill your brain cells. You know you want to hit this proverbial joint of t3h ultimate fun. So, relax and enjoy the ride.
