hmm i don't like how they made them too emotional. especially scott. he only gets that emotional when it comes to Jean and no one else.

the obligatory "is there a time when humans and mutants get along" bit was a nice touch.

also wolverine looked somewhat like a gorilla than a person..hes too short and stubby.

I like how the series is keeping the combat together within episode. The next one should be good!

Another impressive episode, I think this 12 episodes event of the X-men will turn out better than what we expected and way better than the Ironman and Wolverine anime adaptations... wait, it's already better.

This episode was very good and the emotional side was a great add to it. Plus the fights have been good so far, can't wait to see them fight bigger obstacles. BTW Emma Frost next episode.

EPIC! :D All they have to do is to fix emoScott and were set for asskickin' XDD

IDK why Storm was kinda weak in this series, she was so badass in cartoons XDD

I can't wait to see big time villains clash :D

-Scott too emotional, hope that will clear up
-Wolverine looked like an old fat man
-Beast and Storm pretty useless here

Other than that, I liked the action scenes and the story is quite interesting. I only hope that everyone knows who Emma Frost is, if Jean died she should've been introduced before that.

yes, the only problem i see here is an Emo-Scott and a weakened Storm, other than that, it's fantastic. ^^
Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch.

since when is Storm that weak? She was worshiped as a goddess for a reason, and it wasn't because she collapsed every time she used her powers :/

also her fear of closed spaces seems to have vanished. very crucial details they really did a way with. storm is among the strongest of the xmen and for her to get weak after just casting a single ice spell or lightning spell is just lame.

[i call them spells since she normally chants an enchantment when she does her abilities.]

Agree with the weak storm power was like WTF THAT ALL?, lol

And Wolverine looks like a Gorila on steroids, but looks more badass that in wolverine anime

The quality overall is untouched, looks stunning the visual, the backgrounds, the effect,
I realy like it, The Mad scientific ( The one with White hair ) reminds me of Tevor from Aeon Flux Cartoon

I don't like how Wolverine looks. He looked better in his own anime. That was sad how that one guy turned into a monster and they had to kill him.

Goddamnit, what's the problem with Wolverine looking like a gorilla? He's SUPPOSED to look like a beast, a fact that the Wolverine anime forgot to adapt.
EmoScott is somewhat understandable, the story requiring it and all, but it's still damn annoying.
Storm? Out of juice? Wait, what? Plain WRONG!
Beast pretty much was useless. Then again, he has been teaching for the past year, might need to get back in touch with his more animalistic senses...
Ditto about Emma.

That said, I sense this show could use some Nightcrawler.

Wolverine is supposed to be short and stubby, he in this anime on the other hand is tall and broad.

Storm has always been nerfed down to her opponents in these types of shows, no shock there really.

Anyway, it's still good enough to watch.

Agreed. Emo-Scot is getting on my nerves.

and on another note:
U-MEN? Really? Is that the best they could come up with?
A quick Wikipedia search shows that the U-Men have been in x-men before (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-Men_%28comics%29), but their first appearance was only in 2001, so yeah.....

can't wait for some frost action!

I liked storm this episode actually it may have been small but she had recon work down to a tee.
I see wolvie the same way frito does.
and like I said about last episode I'm loving the score :)
imo the episode was quite good but I don't if I approve of it in a 12 episode series
now we'll be going into episode 3 still on the kidnapped girl thing and potentially it may not be resolved until the start of episode 4 which is fine if this U-men angle is the only antagonist angle they are using but I sure hope it's not.

Am I the only one who got bored watching this episode ? Oh, and Hisako looks like Hinata in the preview.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Good episode. This is much better than Iron Man. So far I'm glad I decided to pick this up. The art and animation was particularly impressive and there was plenty of fighting. I like the soundtrack as well.

Sure, Wolverine is suppose to be short and stubby, but not like an overblown gorilla like in here. I like the design in the Wolverine anime more than this.
And Storm weakening after using one or two attacks? Maybe she has some kind of problem so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
EmoScott may be a problem later on.
Good episode.
Oh shi- Emma at the end. This should be fun.
And I agree that Hisako looks just like Hinata.

Better than Iron-man and Wolverine at the moment...better art too so I'm waiting for the next episode.
What I don't get is why didn't they choose a much interesting arc than U-men !? They have so many mutants to work with, we could have seen so many mutants in this show....such a waste on beautiful graphics.

How dare they make Storm seem weak?!?!? There's a small chance she may have some problem that would explain that, so I'll suppress my ranting for now.
Needs less Scott's emoism.
Other than that, a pretty good episode overall, will stick till the end with this anime.

And, must they give the entire summary of the next episode in the preview?

Storm is too weak

Cyclops doesn't even look like the leader he should. he fires missiles out of his bike instead of ... just using his power?

I hate the look they went with for Beast.

U-Men suck.

yuck Emma Frost.

I have to agree there. I can understand balancing her for her opponents, but she literally used her powers against pirates last episode and didn't even break a sweat.

Also, the X-Men have the coolest motorcycles. Hands down.

I got rly angry when I noticed that Storms power has been limited so much & just stared at prev. eps. when she was about to past out after using her powers at the lowest as possible :/ What the heck man.. STORM IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORSHIPPED AS A GODDESS!!

Wolverine looks weird, Beast is.. bleh & Scott has never been one of me farvorite characters, but I seriously miss the more leader-type of him - Hate EmoScott.

This is turning out a lot better than I had hoped. I am so pleased with how Wolverine looks in this, Storm as well but I have to agree that I hate how weak she looked-- she's definitely a lot stronger in the comics so I'm hoping there's a good reason behind her quick exhaustion.
Emo!Scott better not last all through this :(

There has to be something interfering with Storm's power. She had no problems in the first episode yet now that they arrived in Japan she seems to get exhausted after only one attack. It's possible the U-Men (lolol) have done something with their scientific stuff. That's what I'm guessing anyway~

Well this episode was a bit over dramatic, but I liked it. I also thought it was funny that Scott was using lasers from the bike instead of his own power :P

I think storm became so weak because she has Claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces), cause they are in enemy cave (althought i'm not sure if cave can cause that)

sorry if i were wrong

Best part = Wolverine punching Cyclops. Cyclops is such a whiney emo bitch. He let my Storm get hurt before doing anything. I have a feeling the overdramatic tone of this anime will continue... -__-

I lol'd at the "gorilla Wolverine" comments. lol

I think Cyclops used the motorcycle missiles to hide his powers as much as possible, because of the fear of being watched/analyzed by the enemy.
