Awesome X-Men Anime!!!

[ICXCNIKA]

It does seem to bend. I guess that's the style of the artwork.

 

[ICXCNIKA]

Why does the singer at the end of the first intro yell, "Cry for the moon"!?

 

[Blackpanther22]

For whatever reason, it looks like the X-Jet bends to dodge whatever the hell was blasting at it.

LOL! Yeah, it looked alive!

Why does the singer at the end of the first intro yell, "Cry for the moon"!?

Because they got it mixed up with the Sailor Moon theme. :P

Does anyone have these clips for download? That way if the links expire it won't matter.

 

[Brad_Lewis]

I want the series on DVD--if you have any news post it, cause I'm dying to actually get the 90's version on DVD, complete. As well Im sure were all waiting on Evolution, now this. DAMM

For some reason, myvideo didn't play, so could you give me some details?

In short, imagine this Artwork fully animated, but better.

Why do theme songs for Japanese cartoons suck so much?

"Cry for the Moon"? What the hell does that have to do with the X-Men? And why did he keep screaming "Shock"?

 

[Advocate05]

If I'm not mistaken. It was drawn by japanese artists. They wanted to emulate the art from the XMen comic at the time. That's why you see cross hatching and such they were copying Jim Lee's art direction. If I remember what they talked about back then.

 

[Nathan]

I wish every future Marvel projects would be done in Japan. The art in the Ultimate Avengers Movie was nice, but pales in comparison with those Japanese X-Men intros.

Leave them alone. Thay have no idea what the hell thay are saying...

 

[Cyclops]

"Leave them alone"? Sounds like I hit a sore spot.

Yep, completely Jim Lee-ish, Gambit, Jubs and Rogue are 100% his style. Great choice!

 

[Advocate05]

Yeah they just used the jap artists to mislead the fans to watch the americanized version. Itr was still popular, but they like us wanted the entire episode in the opening form.

Yeah, the music sucks. But it's better the music suck than the animation. It's funny, though: How did the Japanese make such awesome intros, and animate these characters beautifully, but get terribly lame and corny when it came to the theme songs?!!

Why do people who know nothing about anime make such generalizations?

I wish I knew, but I have yet to see a japanese cartoon that did not have an awful theme song. And since most of my friends and my youngest brother are japanese cartoon fans, I've been subjected to quite a few awful theme songs.

 

[Advocate05]

How can you say that?

If you were japanese and you heard an american song ... all you'd hear is ...

blah blah blah Rich Girl.

Serious. I'm asian and to be honest Cry for the Moon is a way better theme song than "Thank you for being a friend" from Golden Girls.

 

[Guyverjay]

Apparently its sucks because its not in english

 

[grey_jeanie]

It's not that much better than the US version. The characters look the same to me but I haven't watched the US one in years. I thought the music was funny

"cry for the mooooooon"

 

[Cyclops]

Apples and Oranges.

 

[Advocate05]

GuyverJay~ LOL! Your right. If it was in english it would be the best Song for a TV show EVA!
But since some jap guy wrote it and screams "Cry for the Moon ... Shock!" Its stupid and funny.

[Boba_Fett_123]

Uh...I'm American and all I hear is blah blah blah Rich Girl. "Cry for the moon" and "SHOOOOOCK!" are bad lyrics in any language, hon. Sorry.

 

[Cyclops]

Nuh-uh! If it's Japanese you have to think it's great or Japanese cartoon fans will have a hissy fit!

 

[owen_2006_294]

it was okay. but I have one thing left to say as I make my way towards the exit of this thread and it is "CRY FOR THE MOON!"
