| yeah it's pretty well done :) looking forward to the next ep as well ^^ |
 |
| LOL @ Wolverine at the Airport scene haha that was hilarious!! |
 |
| no cry for the moon? i watched a bit of it, but i'm gonna wait for the subs. :) |
| Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me. Burn me three times... I'll just let myself burn. |
 |
| this series might be good. :D i really saw it funny how James wasn't allowed in the airport. xD sir, you have a weapon and you need revision. xD I mostly feel bad for Scott. D: Losing Jean really made him depress. but at least James and Storm help him feel better again. To be really ironic, i kinda told a friend of mine that the radiation in fukushima would turn a few people into x-men. xD it was a joke, but seeing that Hisako is from the touhoku region really surprised me. o.o But year, Hisako got captured and the gang is going to save it. D: one thing i miss is Rouge. ;~; she's in every x-men series, BUT this. |
 |
| The series looks decent, I was expecting something much worse after Wolverine anime. The character design is far superior, and it won't be hard to outdo the storyline of Wolverine, since it's a linear beat the bad guys thing. I'm expecting praising reviews and at least 7 average score for this series. Maora said: one thing i miss is Rouge. ;~; she's in every x-men series, BUT this. I agree, they need to bring her into later episodes. And Storm looks pretty hot. xD |
| Talking squid. Beast, I see what you did there -degeso. |
| Sorry for grammar mistakes(if any), english is not my native language. Feel free to correct me if you see some. |
| I liked wolveirne, and this looks like it will shit on it, so I am definitely expecting great things from this show |

| Cyclops with shoulder pads? What is this the 80s? It looks like something out of DBZ's Saiyan Armor. Although not a huge fan of the very different art style (and character designs) it's bearable and I'll still stick with it since X-men is just awesome. |
KillerYandere said: Probably the best of the Marvel anime series so far. . . I know that's not saying a lot but this appears to be shaping up into a solid series. yeah definetly better than the other two marvel projects that failed in my eyes at least they have a real wolverine instead of that emo one, hopefully this series goes better |
  |
| It seems like finally they got one right this time. The money they put on the opening scene was not a small amount and I hope they still have enough money for the rest of the show. STORM is HOT! |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Nice start, really dig the animation. Hopefully this series will be better than the previous 2 Marvel adaptations.. |
| The talking squid was awesome. So was Storm; gotta love her. After two previous letdowns, this seems promising, even though it's too early to say. Gets 4/5 from me, could've be even 5/5, had it not focused so much on my least favourite character in the whole X-Men franchise - Scott. Mattaku...I just don't like him. |

Well, he's still the leader of the X-Men in the frontlines. I know, I know. It's just that I don't like him cuz he's your typical American hero, a blandest figure imo. I'm somewhat of an anarchist in nature (well more like a rebel), so it's only natural that I find his personality irksome. Anyway, I've watched numerous X-Men moves and animated series so I'm pretty much used to him. As long as I can watch Storm, I'm not complaining. On a side note, I just thought how the preview for the next episode was a bit too 'spoilerish' for me. |

| Oh wow. As have been said, this definitely looks better than the first two Marvel adaptations. Heck, I'm surprised by the amount of detail and level of animation they pulled on the opening scene. I'm just a bit disappointed that again the setting is in Japan and help Japanese girl A. I mean, I know this is anime, but come on. Iron Man was just bad; Wolverine started quite good but goes down the drain early on. I'm hoping this turns out to be at least decent on its entirety. |
 |
| The first episode already kicked tlhe ironman and wolverine ass. |
 |
bskbob said: this looks much better then Wolverine and Ironman. Well, I think that it would be harder to make it look worse than these two, so it has to be better :) |
| Yeah It was way better than Iron-man and Wolverine But Im still not satisfied... But I`ll keep watching next episodes By now I think it`s quite good but not as I wanted it to be >> |
| better graphics that X-men evolution xD |
 |
| Now why couldn't we get the badass Wolverine depicted here to star in the Wolverine anime? It'd actually be GOOD. Wolverine as a pancy fancy-pants, puh-lease. I'm sensing epic win from this. Then again, I lowered my standards, like many others undoubtedly, with Wolverine and Iron Man... |
| Dem clubcards are big.. http://ilyasviel.mybrute.com |
| Only thing I hated about this episode was how the characters refer to each other. In the comics and movies they all called each other by their first name but here it swaps between their codename and real name. They're meant to be pretty much a family! I get why they would use code names on missions but its just silly to use their code names in private. |
| damn epic episode o_O |
| Ahhh, finally an awesome looking Logan, way better than the Wolverine anime version -.- I think I'll appreciate this series way more than the first 2 :) |
 |
| All hail the talking squid ^_^ |
| When I saw the fire bird in the beginning, I immediately thought phoenix which led me to Jean Grey. I know this is called X-Men, but it seems that this story will revolve around Cyclops. |

But at least Armor is a known character - I understand why the animes try to find a way to use Japan as a location. And hey, Silver Samurai in the ending, what's up with that? o.O Really loved the first episode. Opening the series with an epic Phoenix vs the rest fight was really nice. Although it was strange to me to mention the Inner Circle and presenting Emma Frost so casually. Everywhere the story is presented revolving around the U-Men, I hope they get the balance between that and the Hellfire Club/Phoenix story. A very promising start. And I love the design. Too bad 12 episodes aren't enough to show all the fan favorite characters. I have to say that I didn't like Scott that much either, but ever since in the comics |
| I don't like the fact that they changed Wolverine's character design and left his voice the same. I wish he still looked like he did in the last series. I mean I don't see why he has to look all gruff in every series that involves the X-Men. What, he can't look better than Scott? BS but yeah we'll see how this goes but I won't be getting my hopes up. Maora said: one thing i miss is Rouge. ;~; she's in every x-men series, BUT this. ugh yes! i don't know why they didn't put her in this, she is my favorite character besides storm and wolverine :( |
| omg... This doesn't suck yet! I like this... A lot! |
| Awesome first episode. I love X-Men and can't help feeling excited when thinking of everything that's going to unfold, they better do a good job with this one! And I really hope Cyclops isn't depressed for most of the series. He is so annoying. Maora said: That is disappointing ;________;one thing i miss is Rouge. ;~; she's in every x-men series, BUT this. |
 |
| WOW, REALY the first episode kick the ass of iron man and wolverine anime Realy like it and looking forward to the next ep 9/10 overall |
 |
| I was really impress, and like some have mentioned way better than the cluster fuck that the Iron Man and Wolverine anime counterparts where. Was left is for Marvel to re-team again after the Blade anime with any other respectable Japanese studio and adapt the Onslaught Saga into anime format. Now that would be pretty freaking epic if they did it faithfully, also Nate Gray aka X-Man would look freaking bad-ass in anime. |

Now that would be pretty freaking epic if they did it faithfully, also Nate Gray aka X-Man would look freaking bad-ass in anime. But for Onslaught to work we would need so much more well known heroes. With only mutants (and Iron Man) fighting it wouldn't be that impressive. Nate Gray anime style. Hell yes, I'd like to see that. Bring on "Age of Apocalypse". XD As for Rogue - she is my favorite X-Lady, but since she was wimped down and her story butchered up in the movies (no connection to Mystique? WTF?!), I rather not have her in this instead of messing her up again. Plus they would have to bring her in with the stolen Ms Marvel powers, "Wolverine & the X-Men" had a hard time including her with only her own power. |
Twickers said: And hey, Silver Samurai in the ending, what's up with that? I think that's Stryfe, not the Silver samurai. Could be wrong though. The first episode showed a lot of promise and I really liked it. I think that the ending is more fanservice than what is actually going to happen in the series. It sucks that they won't be showing too many of the X-Men, but a centralized cast could push the story along better I guess. |

I know :( it's that Onslaught is my favorite powerhouse villain from American Comics Books, and seeing him in anime would be a dream come true. But agree, we will need Captain America, Thor, Spiderman, Hulk, The Fantastic 4 and others. If they make it with 50 to 52 episodes, a good director and studio it might work, but I doubt that Marvel and any Japanese anime studio will take that risk, but I hope someday they do, because it would be worth it. Nate Gray is my favorite character in Marvel. Plus I always thought kinda fits in the anime universe or in other words he is IMO the only Marvel character that would look most badass of all in Anime. Age of Apocalypse in anime would look insane and is another one of my favorite stories in Marvel. One of the things I didn't like was that Gambit and Rouge weren't in this series. Also as someone else mentioned the setting taking place again in Japan kinda sucks. |

Well, I think that it would be harder to make it look worse than these two, so it has to be better :) Yeah X-Men themselves as a team bring more inspiration to create something better. Seeing wolverine though, i have to wonder why wasn't this guy in the Wolverine anime instead of that unknown bishounen Wolverine lookalike. The Wolverine anime would have been better if the real Wolverine was in it. Many here say Storm looks hot but although the body is fine the face switches off and on. Some moments she looks good ad sometimes her face looks a little ugly. Really confusing. Males seem to have more stable design. BTW was that Hinata they kidnapped? I couldn't help but think "Oh look it's Hinata" the moment i saw her. imaginary-beauty said: I don't like the fact that they changed Wolverine's character design and left his voice the same.

I don't even know who that guy in the Wolverine anime was. We ain't gonna turn every male into a smooth-talk bishounen just to please the teenage female populace. You can masturbate to Cyclops if you want. Maybe am the only one but am happy Rogue isn't there. I'm a little of an old fox in the X-Men comic who loved the first team of X-Men and she wasn't really a part of X-Men until many years later. I never thought of her as a very nice addition and i still prefer seeing back classic characters like Nightcrawler and Colossus.That metal head Russian could really kick ass. |

| so this is like the rougher version of fairy tail? XD like wolverine as natsu for being so tough cyclops as gray because he lost someone important storm as erza cause she's hot beast as happy cause XD and the jap as wendy cause she's little? oh and prof as makarov cause dunno XD lol at imagination XD |
BladedWarrior said: Twickers said: And hey, Silver Samurai in the ending, what's up with that? I think that's Stryfe, not the Silver samurai. Could be wrong though. Nop, you're not wrong, that is definitely Stryfe, 100% sure, and I hope he appears, but I think him appearing in the ending credits was probably like some type of homage to him and to the others that appear in the ending and probably will also not appear in the anime. |
| I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're right, it's Stryfe. I didn't pay much attention to the spikes, looked at the helmet, saw silver armor and thought back to Shingen Yashida in "Wolverine". As a japanese character would have made sense... but of course... thanks for correcting me, BladedWarrior. ^^ Zero_sama said: If they make it with 50 to 52 episodes, a good director and studio it might work, but I doubt that Marvel and any Japanese anime studio will take that risk, but I hope someday they do, because it would be worth it. That would be a dream come true - an epic tale, time enough to introduce the characters, a nice balance between action and drama... I'd be so in. But then again, right now I just hope, they don't f*** it up with this 12 episodes. ;) |
| I've lowered my expectations considerably after Iron Man and Wolverine, but I've got to admit, this was a very good 1st ep. Than again, I thought the 1st ep ep of Wolverine was much better than the start of Iron Man, so I'm not gonna get my hopes up yet. I also don't agree that Wolverine would've been much better if the character-design had been like shown here. A lot more was lacking from that series to make it so-so. |
 |
| decent first epd, this is the wolverine that should of been in well...wolverine lmao! Looks like they went with the hair design storm had in the movies, it's usually a bit longer. not all xmen is present though, they appear to be focusing on the more popular/early day ones. Not not gonna give my hopes high but I'll follow. |
| Posting just to say... Sapient squid. Hell yes! |
