One of the very first posts I ever wrote here on BMore Nerdy was the announcement of the Marvel Anime series coming to the US, particularly onto Male Geek channel G4.
At the time, we only had a look at Iron Man, it seems that the information has been revealed about the X-Men series, soon to premiere in Japan and show here later this year.
Scheduled for an April 1st airdate, the character re-designs featured above are both familiar and dramatically different.
If you’re wondering why they’re so glum, maybe the plot synopsis will give it away for you…
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 battle for justice is on.
Yeah, I’d be sad too, if my friend died and then I had to fight a bunch of guys.
What do you think of the new looks?
