Description

Well, I can't say I'm going to miss it haha. I didn't hate this show. In fact, at the beginning, I was very on board. There were a lot of fun ideas and some interesting twists on classic stories. Never forget, the entire series opened with the characters reciting the Dark Phoenix Saga verbatim. The creators' love for the X-Men has always been clear. Even to the very end, the choice to focus on Moira and Proteus (and/or Legion) was inspired. I really respect that they were willing to deliver a story that almost no one else focused on. That said, I really wish I enjoyed the experience of watching more. I don't know if its because of my unfamiliarity with anime, or if this one was just particularly odd, but I could never shake the feeling that I was always waiting for something to happen. Somewhere out there, I'm sure somebody has edited this down to a truly stellar film that includes all the neat ideas, fun characterization, and delightful villains, all while coming in at a crisp 2 hours. But, as is, the best thing I can say about this show is that I REALLY want this Inner Circle in a book. As always, the series may end but ReaX continues. Just...possibly in a different form. Thank you all for going on this journey with me and I hope you like what comes next!

The Iron-man cameo makes total sense, the studio made an Iron-man anime the year before.

25:20 For the record there was a post-credit scene in the finale that shows Magneto's plastic prison got mangled up cause of Takeo and was empty so had they done a season 2 it would've likely been him as the main villain.

Scott's character arc being that he gets less merciful is very true to the comics of the time funnily enough

​​If you want another short lived Marvel anime, I highly recommend Fantastic 4: Earth's Greatest Heroes. Genuinely great and under-rated series.

And now Nikhil gets to go through the rest of the old animated Marvel shows. My vote is between Iron Man: Armored Adventures and Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes

i think you're not just used to the anime pacing of it all cause this series was pretty spot in terms of anime tropes, plotlines, dialogue, etc. but i'll forever mourn the future seasons that could've spawned from this 💔
