THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
it's out ... so go watch it and stuff.

Good episode with a lot of action, I liked Mastermind dominating Wolverine (even though he's supposed to be exceptionally hard to mind-control) and setting him on the rest of the party. It reminded me of DnD, oddly enough. Hopefully more action next episode and some revelations of what Yui's doing and what she's keeping in the vault (prolly a giant monster from what the series has given so far).

EDIT: Anyone seen the new X-Men film? The new movie costumes kinda resemble the ones in the anime, and both Emma and Beast are in it this time around (Wolverine also has a hilarious cameo, as does a loli Ororo). No Cyclopsu, but it does have his brother, Havok.

4/5

Mod Edit: Fixed poll.

Unless they boil him. Worked in Ghost Rider if you've seen it.

I would've have thought that Beast was a fighter since I always see him behind a computer, but he's ridiculously strong. I can see Hisako and Wolverine kinda have like a father-daughter thing going on while she's not home. I thought that the truth behind Emma's appearance would be shown at the end, but I guess they revealed it early.

Yeah, Hisano has the hots for Wolverine XD LOL, poor guy, he's hundreds of years old yet the teen girls won't stop falling for him. Kitty, Jubilee, Hisano, even Rogue in the films. I guess they're turned on by the bike and the badass attitude.

And yeah, Beast is a badass :D He's pretty restricted to close-in combat because of his powers, but he's got superhuman strength and agility in addition to his superhuman intellect. The downside was he looked bulky and clumsy, until an attempt to make himself look more 'normal' created the blue-furred beast we know and love.

Well this last two episodes where kind of exciting. Finally is starting to improve.
Mastermind confirm as the guy fooling Cyclops.

Btw why didn't Emma use telepathy to stop Wolverines craziness?

What's wrong with this poll? Kill it with fire? Lol, sure, we need an option like that! But not now, cause this was a pretty awesome episode! And there wasn't any animation quality drop, imo. I've got two major issues though:

1) Why Mastermind decided to spit out everything? I mean, of course every villain has to revealy his dastardly plan to the hero (btw, that's a stupid cliché). And it's not like Mastermind has to reveal everything because the heros are threatening to kill him, he can still win this fight.

2) Why no one fought Mastermind when he controlled Wolverine? He was the one who controlled him, so I guess if he's defeated or stunned the control over Logan is over. However, Scott went for the hard way as everyone else. Since Storm was free, why didn't she use her power to shock Mastermind?

1. Video quality fell a little. Not HORRIBLE, but worse then the first episode.
2. Jason is a dick, no shock there.
3. Pretty cool action scenes. Beast's "Am I interrupting" followed by grabbing the guy by the neck was pretty cool.
4. Hisako's cute flirting was adorable.

what's with all the crappy anime original characters besides Mastermind? "Mash" ? they can't even give the other one a name. this plot is pretty bad. Yui's kid is either targeting The Professor or the one behind that room. Hisako is still really annoying and flirting with Wolverine is beyond creepy. guy is really really old and has gotten more than she ever could.

Yeah, the truth about Emma was revealed in a kinda lame way(like we haven't suspected Jason already) but w/e. The red space seems especially cool to me, I'm just wondering if it's other dimension or just a telepatic... dimension. And about Mastermind's deception on Logan... yeah, I kinda got surprised too(btw, I expected him to put an illusion on everyone).

Wow! I loved this episode. The best yet! Honestly, I thought the animation was very good, and the fights were well-handled. I don't like Mastermind, but his methods work.

Now I can't wait for the next one.

Am I the only one that feels about Mastermind's motivation on framing Emma Frost being very weak? I felt it just rub me the wrong way. I really don't understand as to why he would want to frame Emma.

I didn't have major issues with this episode (aside from the animation quality drop). It was very exciting and with nice details. Yes, I loved Hisako's flirting!!

Ok, this episode made me laugh. Everything was so cringe to watch especially when the bad guy is just talking about nonsense stuff. At least the dumb drama between Emma and Scott was resolved in this episode.
