Wolverine and the X-Men: The Complete Series

This series is pure gold. I loved every second of it. Even the side stories I enjoyed. I don't understand how they mismanaged this. There should have been at least 3 or 4 seasons. Everything from the art, sound, voices, and animation in general is a cut above. I was floored by the general voice acting on this series. And there are so many characters! And yet they do them all well! While it does complete a good arc, they were definitely setting it up for S2, which we never got, and that is a crime. You got three discs here, with some extras about the making of the series on the third disc, and there are also commentaries. I HIGHLY recommend this series. It pulls you through the creation of the X-Men, borrows from all the right parts of X-Men lore, and manifests its own stunning, consistent, and amazing world full of absolutely breathtaking characters and emotion. Man, this one being cancelled really hurt. This was a stunning set of episodes.

This was a great cartoon! Voices are spot on! The animation is well done, the storylines are compelling! Nerd out with the creators commentaries on the episodes, learn all kinds of stuff that inspired this classic!

I was a bit late in becoming an X-Men fan since I didn't really get into it until the late 90s. Ever since I've been completely hooked! The movies were pretty good. The first two were excellent, though the third seemed to go too off track. It was still okay, in my opinion. I found X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class quite nice, yet that's also from my point of view. Anyway, I loved the 90s animated X-Men series, X-Men: Evolution and now Wolverine and the X-Men! I haven't looked into the anime just yet; I might watch it before purchasing it. I do know that this particular series was very well written and the artwork is great! I admit that some episodes weren't as interesting as others, but in all it was a wonderful series. I hated how it was aired here in the United States; it took almost an entire year to see 26 half hour episodes! Still, it was worth the wait:) I've owned this complete season for a good while now; however, I just hadn't gotten around to review it until now. Some people didn't like how Emma Frost was written off. I've read things online where they say that they made her too soft. Well, she was softer, but still herself. It showed that she's not truly evil. She still was witty and even snotty and harsh at times, but not over the top. My only big complaint is that there won't be a second season:( It looked so promising too. There were three online petitions that I've signed along with millions of other fans. I was hoping that those would set a spark. For all of the fans out there, let's just keep our fingers crossed!

It was a nice attempt to bring back a succesful X-men animated series, some good plots but lacking in the animation quality. There are alot of scenes where you end up thinking that they could have done a better job animating the characters. At the end of the series you realise that the good stuff was about to begin with the appearence of Apocalypse. It's a good series but not better that the one from the 90's

Ok, I'm a cartoon lover, I remember waking up on Saturday morning and seeing the first episode of X-men come on Fox, and it was amazing. Looking back on it now, it could have used some work but the stories where solid and the animation kept getting better of the years so no complaints. A few years ago there was X-men Evolution which was the X-men (most of them anyway) as children and teenagers growing into adulthood. Now they are all adults (more or less) Professor X has mysteriously disappeared along with Jean Grey and the team is all but completely gone. Then Logan comes back and I know at first I was skeptical because Logan's character is that of a follower, he's really not leader material, or he doesn't like to be. Still, that was the point so say the people behind the series, it's new and it puts the characters in new and interesting position, forcing them to adapt to circumstances that are typically way outside their comfort zone. It really does make for good TV. The animation is solid the guest stars and little extra mutants and Marvel characters that show up are a bonus. It's a great show, but then again don't take my word for it, watch the sucker and see for yourself.

Great

If you have a Saturday afternoon to kill and want to see an extremely cool entry in the Xmen Animated universe then this is the series for you. It can be a little awkward at first personally I found myself thinking “Hey their Bishop looks nothing like the Bishop from the old show” or “So wait Charles Xavier’s body was left undisturbed for 20 years and no one thought to look in the ruins of his old mansion?” but the series really grew on me after a couple of hours for several reasons 1. The attempt to portray Magneto in a more sympathetic light 2. How they handled Gambit thank you not everyone has to be a spotless goody goody all the time 3. The fact that they took the time to develop different Xmen for the parts of the show in the future everyone was not just a future version of themselves 4. No Jubilee and I wish a stronger supporting argument here but I don’t It was an excellent fun series or course it was formulaic but if that bothered me I wouldn’t be an Xmen fan in the first place and I wish there had been more of it.

This series, short lived as it was, takes ques from other animated series like the original X-men animated series and Exosquad, in that continuity and continuing story lines run rampart throughout these 26 episodes. The series takes liberties with the movies and the long history of the comics and meshes them together into a new world of familiar characters. I liked them all, with the exception of Toad, whom they either could have either made more competent, or less annoying, because entirely incompetent and entirely annoying just do not work. Cyclops pretty much goes without saying as being an annoying character just about all the time as well, but it seems to be inherent in his character no matter who writes him or portrays him. There are 9 episodes on the first and second disc, and the remaining 8 episodes on a third. This is great, as there aren't compression issues that bog down the animation. The voice talents range from good to great (with the exception of Toad), and there isn't an episode here that I would skip over on a second viewing. The limitations of this being a kid's show make most of the fights confounding (just stab them already, Wolverine!), but even so, they manage to make them fun in their own way. This is a show meant for kids, but even as an adult I enjoy it. This is great value for money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some animated goodness that isn't anime.

anteriormente hace años lo compré en DVD (lo cual no esta nada mal la calidad), pero años más tarde decidí comprarla de nuevo en Bluray y a un precio genial. Esta versión de wolverine & X-men tienes que verla definitivamente. Es una lastima que no se logró una continuación, esperemos que en un futuro regrese, como Young Justice season 3 lo hará pronto.

It was a great show. Can watch over and over.

Die DVD Sammlung enthält alle 26 Folgen der Zeichentrick Serie: Wolverine und die X-Men. Die Serie ist die etwas erwachsenere Variante von X-Men Evolution. Im Kern der Serie, ohne zu viel verraten zu wollen, dreht es sich um eine Explosion, die sich auf dem Gelände von Xaviers Schule für Begabte ereignete. Xavier fällt in ein Koma und Wolverine übernimmt daraufhin die Leitung über die X-Men. Ich fand die Serie sehr gelungen und musste an so mancher Stelle herzhaft lachen. Eigentlich findet man in der Serie alles: Action, Romanzen, Scifi, Horror (mild) und Humor. Musik und Zeichnungen sind gut gemacht und ich finde, dass man bei einem so günstigen Angebot (10 €) eigentlich sofort zuschlagen muss. Ich hätte mir aber die Folgen vermutlich auch für einen höheren Preis zugelegt. Immerhin erhält man über 8 Stunden X-Men pur! Einziges Manko, worauf man auch achten muss: Alle Folgen sind nur in Englisch! Es gab nie eine deutsche Übersetzung (zumindestens bis jetzt nicht, vielleicht kommt das noch). Deutsche Untertitel gibt es auch nicht. Ansonsten sag ich nur, viel Spaß mit dem grummeligen Mutanten und seiner Crew. In diesem Sinne "Snikt!"

Good films

Good product, unfortunately I was looking for the spanish (from Spain) dubbed and this is spanish (latin american) which is quite different (the way they express themselves, character names...)
