For many kids of the 90’s, we grew up on Saturday morning cartoons, it was all about the X-Men. Well, the G4 Network must have been like many of us and are bringing back the Marvel superheroes with an all-new anime series.
I got a chance to watch the first episode, which airs this Friday at 11 pm on G4. It’s brilliantly well done and drawn just beautifully that any X-Men fan will appreciate. What I think makes this a better series than what most fans have seen before, besides being drawn as an anime, is that each character is given more personality than that cookie cutter look and feel that we all are used to. Also what is great is that we get stellar voice performances from actors who have played some of the characters before like Steve Blum who voices Wolverine.
Once again G4 brings us fanboys an awesome pop culture icon with the X-Men anime that any fanboy or fangirl will love. We get to see our favorite mutants in a whole new light. I know for one that I am already hooked! “X-Men” on G4 premieres this Friday at 11 pm.
