Hmmm, it looks good, if it has the cast of the original X Men anime from the mid 90's then it'll be a definate yes as the cast would include Rogue and Gambit, if not then I'm sure it'll still be a good watch anyway.

Cyclops looks badass, but I'm sure that he wears sunglasses when he's just out and about? But seeing as this is a trailer, it is in no way shape or form is going to resemble the series as a whole.
 
I wasn't that interested in Iron Man or Wolverine, but for some reason, this one intrigues me. I do hope Gambit is in this one; I can see the Japanese audiences taking a liking to him.

If past experience is anything to go by, it will be completely different.
 
I was burned by Iron Man, but since this trailer is composed of actual footage from the anime I'm hopeful. Plus Cyclops is my second favourite X-man after Wolverine so I'm in.

The IM and Wolverine first trailers were total previews and it was obvious that they were as such, this is clearly composed of cuts from several episodes so I'm hopeful it's representative.

Same here, the Iron Man anime, Gotham Knight and Afro Samurai Resurrection quelled much of my enthusiasm for this sort of US-Japanese collaboration. Still the trailer does look promising on the animation front, I just hope they manage to cook up a decent story to go with it this time.

I actually rather liked the madhouse episodes of Gotham Knight (the ones that had 'name' villains) and even the one by the tekkokinkreet (sp) guy, though I frankly detest that style.

Gotham Knight had its moments certainly; I seem to recall Madhouse's episodes weren't bad, but Production I.G was way below their usual standard. Maybe I just had unrealistic expectations for the potential of an anime Batman when the anthology was inevitably going to be a mixed bag from the start.

Being fair, they all did more for me than Iron Man.

Agreed. I love Iron Man as a character, both Tony and the suit, but the action was sub-live-action levels. If you're gonna turn an action based series into an anime at least turn it up to 11 like Clone Wars (the 2d cartoon, not THE Clone Wars).

I finished watching it in its entireity on sunday and it was one of the most tired and clichéd shows I've had the misfortune of seeing. Only thing that stirred me at all was the score. When IM is kicking butt, the score that plays is epic and I hate that the only way I can hear it is by watching or listening to the last few second of the ED.
 
Have you seen the CGI Clone Wars series, Sparrow? Ignoring the film and some of the first season, its really an excellent show. The action is terrific, the knowledge of the 'verse is outstanding and it looks bloody amazing.

Seen the movie and some of the first season :p But I do quite like it.

That said, have YOU seen the original series, because I maintain it's one of the best Star Wars things ever.

here's a video I made about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GrBTk2KWKE

(which someone else uploaded because Lucasfilm made a copyright claim which meant YT banned my original Sparrowsabre7 account)

Kinda because that is exactly what happened :p The creator of Samurai Jack directed it.
 
Ohh, Shadow -- sorry, yeah, I saw the Tartakovsky series a few years back. Watched it with a mate, really good stuff. I'll need to re-watch it to give a proper comparison but I think the new series gives it a run for its money; which considering the length of the new series, it damn well should.

Who's Shadow? =P Mmm the new series looks more character and dialogue centric, the first was just a lot of action really, not that that's bad, but I concede it's a flawed narrative style (though it was due to episode length in the first season)
 
I knew I had it wrong. Haha, sorry. The new series, like a lot of kids shows (with adult appeal) it has around 50/50 character and action.

Anyway, X-Men... Yeah!
