X-Men English Sub & Dub

About X-Men

X-Men (エックスメン) arrives as an action anime by MADHOUSE (2011), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: The X-Men are reunited following the death of a teammate, and are summoned by Charles Xavier to Japan following the abduction of Hisako Ichiki (Armor). There, they confront the U-Men, a lunatic cult that steals and transplants mutant organs to further strengthen their own army, and the clash for justice is on.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Scott Summers (Toshiyuki Morikawa) and Jean Grey (Yurika Hino) are two of the characters you will meet early.

This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with MADHOUSE, which means the visual identity of X-Men follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 5.7/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Toshiyuki Morikawa voicing Scott Summers gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2011, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
