X-Men

I really enjoyed this visually stunning X-men series. Everything looked great. I thought the story had a more mature theme then most animations of the X-Men and I thought most of the characters' personalities were spot on as I've been a comic collector of X-men for 30+ years. Storm tho I felt was a little underutilized and the exception as her personality wasn't as regal as should be but not too far off. Also Emma wasn't as "frosty" as she could be but leaned more towards her "teacher" personality. Wolverine was done the best. Arrogant and kind of an ass with his witty remarks but always with a big heart underneath his rough words and seeing his berserker persona was a real treat. Cyclops struggles were true to his personality. Beast and Xavier were as true as well. Armor was a pleasant addition. Mastermind with the addition of newly thought out enemies to back him was very good to witness. Battles were visually stunning and enjoyable and showed some different things and that's saying a lot, especially showing one way to stop wolverine I've never seen before that was interesting and I have almost every comic with him in it. Great ideas. Well thought out story leads to an epic ending. The biggest reason I write this review instead of giving my rating and moving on? I thought the average rating fair tho I gave higher and was stunned a whooping 9 out of 11 people giving reviews for this was below the overall average. Take that into account. Please don't let the few loud haters keep you from giving this great 12 episode story a try.

Surprisingly solid, especially after the severely underwhelming Wolverine anime. It's hardly breaking new ground and there's nothing especially new or original here, but it's solidly realized and feels true to the characters. It takes bits from the Dark Phoenix saga and The Brood, as well as others. Worth watching for what it is.

While I love these original comic book stories, straight from the source, even animation wise, these Marvel Anime segments aren't my favorite to watch, great X-Men story though!

When I was a kid a watched a lot of episodes of the cartoon. Also the reruns, but I think I never watched the whole series. So as an adult I also watched the movies, which I liked mostly I think (long time ago). I did not see any comic/anime/cartoon or whatever else.

So suddenly I see there is an anime on Netflix. So I started watching it. First I was thinking: this is nice. But the more I am watching it the more it starts bothering me. I want to skip the action scenes, they all look a like and it feels like a filler. The story has a few plots, but it is not original and it is predictable. Everything happens just on the right moment.

I did not like beast who has the role to explain everything to the viewer. Suddenly he knows everything and he is connecting the dots. It is actually childish I think. So maybe I am the wrong target group as an adult. I think as a child between 10 and 15 this would be nice.

There are big muscles, big breasts, thight suits, (almost) no blood, technology/sci-fi things, it can be a bit scary sometimes, but overall everything is descend. And if you do not focus on the quality it actually looks pretty nice once you are in it. Sometimes they look funny but overall the action is great on screen. You can feel it, but then again the action itself can be boring.

So let's give it a 7 if the target group is young, it is a 4 or 5 for adults.

I had to chuckle aloud. When the anime first started, it was like seeing a modernized, non-English version of X-men: The Animated Series, and it brought back memories of my youth. Long-running comics have a continuity problem because concepts like the Phoenix cannot be satisfactorily explained in five minutes. As a result, they alter narratives, characters, and other elements to suit their purposes and make some sense. It made sense for the X-men to travel to Japan in order to save a young mutant from Japan! And by the time the anime ended, we practically had the lineup for the Amazing X-men.

Again, quite reminiscent of the classic X-men TAS. Although it's more Western, the style is also more adult than typical anime. Especially the T and A. Reminded me quite a bit of Jim Lee's work.

How dramatic! Fit the plot rather nicely.

Whoa, I like how Wolverine and Cyclops (or, to be more scientific, Cyclopsu) would joke around. Characters were remarkably similar to those in comic books; for example, Beast the intellect, Cyclops being emo, Jean pleading to be killed, etc. Although Storm could have been better, I enjoyed how anime Storm differed from comic book Storm. She appeared quite cool. And even though I'm not usually a fan of Wolverine, I thought he was really fantastic.

This anime is really fun, and it connects to the Wolverine anime rather nicely. Marvel had a big involvement in making it, which is great, but I wish they would have invested the same kind of care in their own films.
