[](http://img820.imageshack.us/i/xmenanimeposter280x391.jpg/) ============================= The X-Men anime is written by famed English comic book writer/creator Warren Ellis, and borrows story elements from famed Scottish comic book writer Grant Morrison’s early 2000s story arch for New X-Men, as well as Joss Whedon’s mid-2000s run on Astonishing X-Men. ----------------------------- For those who don’t like anime, you’ll be pleased to hear that this X-Men anime series (unlike the Wolverine anime) seems to be staying fairly true to the source material. Cyclops, Professor X, Beast, Storm and Wolverine all pretty much look like recognizable versions of themselves -- albeit “animeted” -- which, if you think about it, isn’t too far from what a lot of American superhero cartoons are doing today (see: Wolverine and the X-Men). ============================ Synopsis ---------- Episode 1 "The Return" The series, which debuts April 1 on Japan’s Animax television network, is set a year after the death of Jean Grey as the disbanded X-Men are summoned by Charles Xavier to find the abducted Hisako Ichiki (aka Armor) and confront the U-Men, the mutant organ-stealing cult.
