Exactly what i wanted August 8, 2010
churchcamp
I recently purchased volume 1 and 2, and it's exactly what I had expected. This is hands down one of the best cartoon's of all time, bringing back memories of how good cartoon's used to be. Sure it's not crystal clear like today's technology, but this is a classic. Not everything HAS to be flashy to be amazing. Anyone that love's the x-men movies, will definitely love this tv series. Only disappointment I have is that there is no special features/commentary of any kind on volume 1. (Maybe even volumes 2-5, haven't watched them yet but i am doubtful)

A Classic For All Ages!!!! August 3, 2010
D. L. Haynes (Omaha, NE USA)
What a blast from the past this was!! I enjoyed watching this all through High School and now I can share it with my sons.

Everything in the show just keeps getting better as time goes by and most of the source material is from the comics (alot of which were written by Chris Claremont). For me, I always love how they can respin some of those classic yarns into a new age with a new X-Men team and still make it enjoyable. (sometimes more enjoyable than the original version)

This first set does not have any special features so don't get too excited. Disney didn't want to spare any expense in case these didn't sell well. But they have and one would hope that Disney will learn from this and give some more attention to the Marvel Universe because if they treat the fans right, they will be rewarded ($$$$).

Anyway this is the first of five volumes and it starts out pretty heavy with X-Men going to prison and being killed (sorry) but where do you go from there? Well pick up the first installment of X-Men and find out. Then you will be a true believer!

The other great comic book cartoon July 2, 2010
Underground Reborn (ny)
In the 1990s there were two awesome action cartoons. One was Batman The Animated Series and the other was X-MEN. Both went on to spawn other TV shows around their respected comic universes and while DC until this day still has the upper edge X-MEN still stood the test of time and it has finally come to DVD!

The X-MEN show gave us the most popular X-MEN of the time and threw a few guest appearances in every now and again. The stories were loosely based on the stories in the comic and the animation was dead on in regards to the characters themselves. The show was fun, full of action and paid true homage to the X-MEN universe as a whole. One of the major pluses about this show was the animation. I loved how they didn't change the style of the costume on any of the characters, even though some of them who were in fact X-MEN in the comics and not in the show still had the `X' badge on their clothes. I guess it was a message to the fans who never read the comics to go out and read them. Still, unlike Bruce Timms DCAU there were a few imperfections on the Marvel end of the spectrum. One was the fact that it was a little too kiddie. I mean take Wolverine for example...he is a character that is gritty and dark, yet being a kids show there were times that they just made him far too goofy with his jokes. While the voice acting on him was good again it was just far too child oriented. Still, when you are 9 years old it's something that you have no issues with, fast forward through time about 2 decades and there are lines in there that make me cringe. However, within this shows 4 year run there were some very deep episode that really touched on the backgrounds of all the characters. There were in fact a select few that were extremly emotional and that was how some chapters in the X-MEN world have been throughout time. Also while I was never able to catch any future episodes past the Dark Phoenix Saga I read up and saw that a lot of these episodes in the last 3 season were show out of order. The DVD releases could have fixed that but putting them all in the right order, but they didn't. Not that the episodes were bad or anything, but continuity does intend to work. I remember there was an episode that is on the final 5th DVD set which should have been in the beginning of the 3rd set because of the plot.

In summation I am very glad that this show is on DVD. I own it and love it. I am very glad that they decided to finally bring one of the best TV shows of my time to DVD so I could finally enjoy it in its entirety.

A Nice Selection To Start Off Your Collection May 11, 2010
KAB
I have to say that I had my reasons for starting my collection.

My "episodic" reasons: "Night of the Sentinels" (1 & 2) and "'Til Death Do Us Part 1 & 2) (actually the start of Season 2 but part of Season 1s DVD).

Characters: Well, Rogue has always held a special place in my heart but, on a more serious note, I've always considered Gambit an awesome character in his own right due to a cross between his power and his personality and I'm only sorry that he was underused post-Season 2 and I've always liked Morph for the personality (that distinguishable laugh being a large part of his personality) along with the hero/villain dynamic.

Other than that, I have to say that I rarely watched the series in its first airings, so this was my first time seeing a lot of classic episodes. I'm only glad that I gave this show a second chance because I love it. "Enter Magneto" and "Deadly Reunions" (Magneto and Sabertooth's debut stories and interconnected to the first several episodes) were actually very good and I'm sorry that I missed them before.

Anyway, "X-Men" goes a lot deeper than a lot of Saturday Morning cartoons did then or do now. It tapped so much into messages about acceptance and delved deep into the harshest parts of human prejudice. As early as the second episode, the team dealt with the deah of a teammate! For those who remember the series, the magic is all still there. For those of us who overlooked this Marvel gem in our youth, it's definitely worth a first look.

Wonderful April 22, 2010
C. Ballentine
My hubby'd been bugging me about this for quite some time, and I finally broke and ordered it for him. I must say, the cover work is impressive, and the scenes are exactly as we remember. This product is worth buying if you loved the series/X-Men. Hope to get every volume soon!
