I think this is coming on G4. But unfortunately Directv decided t quit carrying G4.

Looks like gonna have to see it some how.

Japanese mutant women have epic breasts.

Was that a mention of U-Men at the end there?

Gotta love em

Yeah I would've missed that if my wife didn't point it out. Would be cool if the series touches upon the Morrison stuff.

Looks really impressive.  I just hope the dialouge holds up.  I saw the pilot episode of the Iron Man anime and hated the dialouge for it.  We'll probably be able to see it via iTunes, the Zune Marketplace, or even Hulu.

Me too although I like the amount of boobage in the first ep so I think I'll be able to tolerate any faults in the dialogue

The U-Men have been confirmed, but when it comes to anime you never know if they'll be anything like the comic versions.

On a side note I'm so sick of the Wolverine/Jean/Cyclops love triangle and the Phoenix. I wish all X-Men media projets would just ignore these things for a few years. If you look at the X-Men series as a whole, these issues aren't emphasized as much as they are in other media.

First... love anything from Madhouse and that animation looks great.

As for Scott-Jean-Logan... I agree. Scott and Emma are more interesting to me and this is coming from somebody who has ready comics since the 80's

Agreed. Madhouse is awesome.

Also agreed. I've been reading since the 80s also, and the Scott an Emma relationship is much more interesting from a story telling standpoint.

My wife did some translating and it didn't seem like there was much of a triangle going on in that first episode. There's that scene where Scott blasts Wolverine, apparently he says something like "what would Jean think if he saw you like this?" and that was it. Hopefully it'll be more like Whedon's run where they just put the triangle stuff aside and make room for Emma.

with that fact that Emma is so prominent make me think its more about Scott moving on then the love triangle.

The videos have been taken down hope you guys had a chance to see it.
