Given that its 3 episodes already, this will just be an “Impressions” post as opposed to a First Impressions post. In a nutshell i’ve been pretty impressed with X-Men so far, it’s officially way better than both Iron-Man & Wolverine put together. What sets X-Men apart from the previous two is not the animation quality [...]

This episode had two action scenes. And BY GOD where they excellent! This episode had a number of some people from the animation team of Birdy the Mighty Decode on it, and it really showed. The X-Men is a perfect series for these people to show their talents. These scenes were raw and brutal, and [...]

Cyclops told the rest of the X-Men that Emma Frost was the one who made Jean lost her mind back before she incinerated. Now, even Wolverine has turned into an emo slob as well. Oh god, Jean is dead! Fucking leave her behind and move the fuck on, you fuckin' woozies!"Says the enemy", Cyclops snickered.Emma Frost denied that she has anything to do with the fight involving Jean year ago. She claimed that she has already left the Inner-Circle by that time. Turns out she was hired by Hisako's parent in order to teach Hisako using her power properly and that was how she was captured as well.It bothers me that they were chit-chatting in the enemy's lair without the slightest sense of being in danger. For example, obviously there are CCTV otherwise how the fuck did the U-Men watched their every moves but the X-Men were oblivious. That is until they were locked from the outside as the U-Men decided that it was a good opportunity to collect even more data.It was another boring fight for me as the cyborgs weren't really a match for the X-Men. The fight lasted for less than a minute. Good thing is, Emma doesn't sugar-coating anything for Hisako. She's good at what she does. These kids need to know what they are up against so they could prepare themselves for the future.Somebody is crazy...In the mean time, Professor X was trying to reach the X-Men and failing so he used Cerebro. He saw the one kid that he couldn't read his mind and a woman. I am no sure who they are though.The X-Men proceed and had finally caught on the enemy's plan so they took another route where they can't be monitored and suppressed. They went into the operation room where the doc was waiting for them. They were so easily captured, it was embarrassing to watch. Lucky for them though that Hisako decided to use her power (ability to create armor from her mind's energy) and single-handedly defeat the mad doctor. She might lose to the power in the process but Emma helped her gained control of it. This kinda explained that she was actually trying to save Jean not instigated her. But of course Cyclops won't believe her.By the way they were so easy going, the enemy got away. One of them even came back to blast Hinako to smithereens. But they did manage to save the other mutant kids.Wait a minute. This show is about X-Men, isn't it but why the fuck are they so useless?

The big question right now is whether or not that new character will go down the Mary Sue path: will she be a stable addition to the cast or will she completely take over the show with her powers? As a teenager, she doesn’t really fit amongst the characters of this series, but if she [...]

Let see if the quality animation from episode 1 will continue in episode 2 of X-Men. I seriously don't want Madhouse to screw this one up.The parent of the missing child were having a mental breakdown. Understandably so, I might say because their daughter is one among the many missing children (presumably all mutant) in the neighborhood and they couldn't report it to the police because of the fear of getting discriminated upon. Pfft, these people are morons.As they discussed proper action, more mutant child have gone missing. Obviously X-Men (especially Cyclops) were pissed. They felt like all that they have done before makes no difference at all for the other mutants.The bad guys have already noticed their presence and launched an attack. The X-Men were right though. The U-Men is the one behind all of this. U-Men is an organization consists of mad scientist who abused mutant power to eliminate human. Pretty screwed up, no?the fucktardThe battles with the tin man were kinda meh really. Without the background music it would be pretty monotonous for me. Even more so when Cyclops is being an emo bastard again during fights. Jeebus, get over it already. Besides the fights were to collect data on the X-Men so they can develop more advance anti X-Men weapon. That's cunning.But it's not over yet. Since Storm managed to track one of the tin man, they proceeded by infiltrating the enemies' lair. When I see what they did to the missing mutants, I was pissed off too. They turned into a fugly being and obviously in a lot of pain. The U-Men used them as the anti X-Men weapon. Jeebus, how inhuman. I can't wait to see the X-Men kill those who are responsible for this abominable situation.I don't blame Cyclops for hesitating this time though. The situation kinda similar to that of Jean. He was trying to save the boy unfortunately he's beyond help and there's no way for them to return him back to normal. The only way to end his suffering is by killing him :(Yes, I got tears in my eyes. But only for a minute. Like I said, Cyclops should get the fuck down from his high horse and who better to snap him out of it other than Wolverine. Cyclop should act more like a leader than a sorry bastard. And so they continued to venture the place and found the girl and a woman who Cyclops recognized as the one who was controlling Jean before she "died".Glad to know that the quality of the episode remains as good. Madhouse is not pulling our legs this time around.p/s; Beast created a handheld Cerebro just to ensure that Professor-X ain't getting senile XD

I wonder if in order to watch this show, I have to complete Wolverine first because if it does, then that's a tell tale sign that this is going to be just as bad like the previous adaptations produced by Madhouse (Iron Man, Wolverine).I am not a fan of other American superheroes but I am a fan of X-Men. It's the only comic that I spent what little money I have as a child. My favorite X-Men of all time is no other than Gambit. Jeebus, that guy is a hot motherfucker. Ehem... but the reason I like him is because he doesn't always play by the rules and his attitude is to die for. The same can be said about Wolverine but he's lacking in the personalities department and it is safe to say that Wolverine is my least favorite of them all. He and Jean kinda share that spot. If I can choose to be one of the female X-Men, I definitely will pick Rogue, not just because she and Gambit are an item (which mean I can get into Gambit's pantsu) but also because of the power she has. She's cool.But just like in the movies, I doubt that Gambit will make an appearance in this show and that kinda makes me sad.The start of the episode was pretty impressive. Jean obviously has turned into Pheonix but that's not what impressed me. It's the character designs. I FREAKING LOVE IT. It feels like the drawings in the comic came to life. Sure they wear different kind of suit but damn they look just like them in the comic. It's hard to believe that Madhouse get this one right when they butchered Wolverine so very badly in their adaptation. However, it's still too early to say since I have at least 20 more minutes to go. I have high hopes though.Scott is still so very in love with Jean. Something will never change I guess. Unfortunately for Scott, his love life in this one kinda short-lived. Jean sacrificed herself in order to save the world. How fucking noble (NOT). I just don't believe that she's dead is all and I pray that Madhouse won't do the love triangle thingy between Scott, Jean and Wolverine. That would be so freaking old.Looks like this show is taking place a year after Jean's (supposedly) death. X-Men and the Institute are no longer active but they do gather once in a while for emergency cases. Inner Circle is victorious in that sense I guess. In this episode, they gathered again (except for Mr. Depressed Scott but Wolverine and Storm took care of that) to help out Cat.And my 20 minutes are up. Needless to say, I am a happy fan.I feel the need to fapCredits have to be given to the production team. Xavier Institute looks just like it supposed to, inside and out. Their attention to details are commendable. It definitely shown how much effort they have put into making this episode.I want more. Wow... this is unexpected.arts & animation 10/10story 9/10characters 10/10sounds 9/10enjoyment 10/10overall 9/10
