Maybe you should try the Arcade game of "X-men Children of the Atom". Play with wolverine until you fight omega red many times, then and only then you will realize why the animators use that small battle of wolverine vs omega red jumping between walls from 2 buildings until they reach the sky and the backgroundy moon... Then and only then you will understand that scene, try the medium and maybe the hard mode so you can understand that beautiful scene.
@@BabaNamKevalamGames Yep , I always thought all that Wall Jumping and Super jumping towards the moon in that scene in the intro was very in the " Capcom " spirit of thing ..... lol ...

@Kagerenekowell, original american version actually made almost all of the x-men team shoot lasers, despite this sure not being those character powers (like Storm, like Jubilee, like Jean, etc) so... if precision depicting powers is the criterion, neither really understands shit. Only japanese artists are more creative and make it look cooler
@Kagereneko i mean...if you see this as a kid you'd be like...AWESOME!!! BEAMS! RAYS! BLASTS! What? Magneto can summon xenomorphs and duel with Charles with his powers?!?! Whatevs...intro rocks! :)
There's fhis great show called X Men the Animated Series that aired on Fox Kids in the 90s that used the Jim Lee designs. Omega Red was only in like 4 Episodes though, total ripoff if you ask me.
This shows how anime isn't simply about characters with pointy noses and chins, colorful hair and big eyes. Anime is all about specific animation techniques that make the action scenes more fluid and dynamic. You can tell that this is a Japanese animation, even though the character designs are fully in the style of Jack Kirby and Jim Lee.
Anime has very varied style, sometimes you can even find shows running simultanously in the same season that have basicly opposite artystyles. Compare shows like Monster or Sonny Boy with Kemono friends.
This is why I sometimes consider there’s actual difference between anime and cartoons/western animation despite people saying it is the same despite the name difference. Sure it is or was super expensive to do this, but intros like these reflected the type of care that was put into things in movements, camera angles, and subtle language about impact from a character to the other
@Kūra Nah, if it was made in Japan by a single studio, the OP and the actual anime would consistently have been the same. The X-men cartoon though, was animated by studio AKOM(notorious for sub-par animation and numerous errors) while these OPs were produced by a different, Japanese-based one though it's not known which one. So the cartoon and it's Japanese OPs were produced by 2 different studios.

@@penemuelwatcher2378 I just checked. The Japan intro came out in 1994 to 1995. Evangelion also came out in 1995 but it did not become influential the instant it came out. More likely that scene is a old anime trope and both this intro and Eva are homages to older works with that kind of framing.
@@Bat-Twenty-Two Well hentai is a genre of anime just like shonen, and Squirrel is no different from is definitely anime except for cutie stereotypical cat girl, well shes a cuties op Squirrel, so again definitely both made for anime.

0:54 holy sh*t I have been looking for this scene for over twenty years I distinctly remember wolverine and omega red soaring through the air but all my friends said I was crazy as the U.S. version always had the same intro Thought I dreamt it
Dude. I remember when I was a kid I caught a glimpse of this animation at the end of the X Men cartoon, but it only aired a short period of time and it was the early morning slot.
With the announcement of X-Men 97, I have to say this. They really should incorporate these opening songs into it somewhere, like possibly as insert songs. Maybe even official English covers.
Xmen was an anime. Just not the 90's version, it looked more like the movie version if anything... They also did it with iron man and one other franchise I can't remember.. Actually, technically it might have been an anime twice, if you count the cameos in that marvel/Pokemon/beyblade hybrid style anime 'marvel disk wars'
This reminds me a lot of the Capcom fighting games featuring the X-men. X-men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-men VS Street Fighter., ect. They have the hyper jumps, and finishers. This is so epic!
I doubt that it possible Japan. At least not in current time. Sentai genre were popular in 80s. But now, you can't just make an anime without having a one central major character and not call it protagonist. Self insert is a huge thing in anime right now. Having big story revolving around one main character is better than having story revolving around 4+ characters as Sentai is. Ofc everything depending on taste. But, hey, just look what genre trending in Japan right now? Coughharemandisekaiscough.
@@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr I've always been curious about what they changed about superheroes in Japan I mean like in the same vain as certain video game characters like how they made crash and ratchet and clank look more cuter for Japan for example
When FOX Kids meant EVERYTHING to me. Nothing could convince me that Japan had this playing in their country until someone showed me a VHS Tape of it. My mind would of been blown away forever during my youthful days.
Logan used his claws, just on robots he couldn't used them on people and get blood everywhere because the FOX censors would never allow it on the air at the time which is understandable considering if you where a parent in the 90s and you saw your kid watching a show filled with everyone dying graphic death scenes you'd be like OH MY GAWD!!!!!

Jubilee isn’t useless. Her powers are strong. But how can u give her plots? That takes away from Wolverine or storm or gambit/rogue screen time or any of the more iconic characters. Jubilee isn’t useless or weak. And her characterization on the ‘92 cartoon was excellent IMO
I didn’t think making an X-men intro better than the western was possible but they did it. The fricking madmen did it.
Johannes Jonzon yep
I won't go that far. They're definitely awesome it, but very few will ever top the original Intro!
@@aRBy125 will dissupoint you but im kinda biggest fan of western xmans in childhood and i first time see this(yea biggest fan didnt know about it coz japan stuff wasnt really allowed in my country) and im saying ITS FREAKIN AMAZING near western opening
Transformers Animated
Western theme is way better but the intro are great
Gone are the days when Magneto could summon the Brood to do his pro-mutant bidding.
Yup :/
Or just flying in the air when they can't fly
アメリカで放送されたバージョンを聞いて育ちました。そのバージョンを聞くと、子供ごろの貴重な思い出を沢山楽しめれる。が、このバージョンを聞けば、何とか懐かしい思い。不思議だ。
ho-how did this go unnoticed in my life for 22 years?
1:18 And that wink is why i fell in love with Anime-Rougue, also know as BEST-WAIFU.
gohanmoreno7 Well she is best waifu in the actual cartoon anyway so......
Star Falchion Indeed.
That wink (was this a Toei deal?) seems in keeping with the Stateside concept of Rogue in the early 1990s : "maybe flirty and definitely a force to be reckoned with".
We all loved rougue when growing up!
No waifu, no laifu.
I love how the title appears, making you think it’s over, then it BLASTS you with the real intro.
SHHHHHOOOOOOOOCCCKKKKK!!!!
小学生の頃めちゃくちゃカッコいいopで漏らしてましたわ
唐突に来る絶望の未来回とかやべー
エンディングもやべー

This is even more metal than the American X-Men!
Gotta love the detail about Wolverine being separated from Cyclops by Jean and slowly being appart of them.
you should read the latest uncanny xmen #22 jean walk pass both wolverine and emma and kiss cyclop in front of them... it was a badass move...
Fox Kids: my X-Men theme is the most epic
Japan: Hold my beer
> Hold my Sak'e.
WellBeSerious12 Japanese people do drink beer, you know?
Hold my SHOCK
hold my can of Asahi
Nomination for comment of the year.
I feel kind hurt, love the American intro it's very iconic to me. But seeing this makes me wish Japan did all the animation for the series.
Or a legit series, at least.
I think they tried something, but it wasn't THAT impressive.
Or at least the parts that were actually done by AKOM of South Korea.
Look up the Japanese Transformers Animated intros, those are amazing.
If they outsourced it to Japan yes X-Men Anime will be amazing, problem only that Japan will insert many Japanese influence and culture to it that this X-Men will be Japanese style.
The most 90s anime i've ever seen.
Ohh yeahh, 90's without stupid 2020 rules and limitations. 90's were a wonderful age.
Then you have't seen many 90's anine I guess.
The only good anime
@@BabaNamKevalamGames 90's was more limiting than 2020 wtf?

Can you imagine the show with these visuals?
Humanity would have achieved space travel by now.
Kinsey Palmer And TIME TRAVEL!!
(Late I know, but I had to for the image in my head I'm getting from that) N U T
I want to go back in time to 1992 and convince a Japanese animation studio to license the X-Men for just that purpose.
Filby Yeah, try to convince Hiroshi Harada. Back in 1992, he released Midori, would be so epic if X-men were animated that way! ✨‼️
"Yeah, I love My Hero Academia"
and i love Dragon Ball
There’s Japanese Spiderman and Manga Spiderman. Seriously, I’m not kidding.
There’s also One Punch Man, Gintama, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Re:Zero, High School DxD, Goblinslayer, Demonslayer, Steins;Gate, Dr.Stone, Promised Neverland, Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan), Your Name, Code Geass, and Fate/Stay Night (All Three Routes).
HOWEVER! Knight of the Zodiac-Saint Seiya, Mobile Riot Gear Police-Ghost in the Shell, Hokuto no Ken, Shin Getter Robo Armageddon, YuYu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, Magical Knight Rayearth, Devilman, Uresei Yatsura, Tenchi Muyo!, Bastard!!, Berserk, Mobile Suit Gundam Universal Century timeline, and Neon Genesis Evangelion/Rebuild of Evangelion; that’s a different level of anime/manga/visual novel/light novel.
@@whathell6t You forgot Legend Of The Galactic Heroes
Gabriel Lloyd I also forgot Maison Ikkoku, Kimagure Orange Road, Astroboy, Robot Hunter Casshern, Baoh, Apocalypse Zero, Guyver, Legend of the Overfiend, Gintama, Mazinger Z, Gunbuster, etc.
whathell6t there's quite a few there that I don't care for and a dozen that I love almost as much as my mother and there's one there that I hate more then anything other than Dragon Ball Evolution and and E.T. The Atari Game.
Can we just admit that Cyclops just decapitated a group of Brood. No wonder he's the only person in the series to actually blatantly wound someone. Remember every time he blasted Mr Sinister, you saw those big green-blood-oozing wounds.
Does anyone notice at 3:01 that Professor X pulls out the TRI-BEAM? TIEN WOULD BE PROUD TO SEE HIS LEGACY LIVING ON!😭
"Ki ko fuck yourself"

0:54 holy sh*t I have been looking for this scene for over twenty years
I distinctly remember wolverine and omega red soaring through the air but all my friends said I was crazy as the U.S. version always had the same intro
Thought I dreamt it
U.S used that animation as an outro sometimes. Very rarely but they broadcasted it in the U.S
Dude. I remember when I was a kid I caught a glimpse of this animation at the end of the X Men cartoon, but it only aired a short period of time and it was the early morning slot.
With the announcement of X-Men 97, I have to say this. They really should incorporate these opening songs into it somewhere, like possibly as insert songs. Maybe even official English covers.
Fuck that! Track down the animation team and hire them to animate the show.
Agreed.
Would love for them to mix it up and start a couple episodes with these when Wolverine goes to Japan or something
Ahh you wish. It most likely is going to suck but we can dream.
Lol the English version of the first OP already exists, it's a blatant rip of "Rising Force" by Yngwie Malmsteen
Damn i would of been super disappointed if i had watch this intro and then saw the artwork in the actual episode
BlockABoots
Lol.
Yeah
BlockABoots how so?
The art style is still pretty amazing in the cartoon.
BlockABoots i was thinking the samething!
That's how it felt to watch SilverHawks, or Thundercats
Mind blown. This was absolutely outstanding. Seriously, whomever did this could make a killing. The art work is superb.
I love how they are directly using the Jim Lee style directly instead of the animated show.
This art style intro for x-men in JP must be a major influence to MVC game series.
0:51 Charles Angels 😂😂
Yeah I was thinking "why did they make Rogue and Storm look like Professor X's harem or something?" lol
@@DaDualityofMan It's a Japanese thing, I guess. 😄
Nice Joke. But this scene cant showup Rogue and Storm powers...
Rogue, storm and JeanGrey 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hasta Jubilee se ve poderosa
If X-Men was Anime.
Xmen was an anime. Just not the 90's version, it looked more like the movie version if anything... They also did it with iron man and one other franchise I can't remember..
Actually, technically it might have been an anime twice, if you count the cameos in that marvel/Pokemon/beyblade hybrid style anime 'marvel disk wars'
There is anime X-Men series and wolverine series.
Jubilee's powers actually look kind of menacing.
DemiTrusdale3 We shouldn't speak of Disk Wars
Efe Aydal in Japan it is and this is a real anime
This reminds me a lot of the Capcom fighting games featuring the X-men. X-men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-men VS Street Fighter., ect.
They have the hyper jumps, and finishers. This is so epic!
This is actually Capcom's main source of inspiration to start the whole craze with Children of the Atom.
AlphaProto Capcom made that opening :v
I always felt marvel nailed animated xmen better than anyone else. It was like watching the 90s comics in action
Holy smokes!!! I know these were just the Japanese intros to X-Men: The Animated Series, but wow! I wish this was its own anime!
The most coolest thing, it was made to promote both the 1992 series and Children of The Atom game 😎
And Mutant Apocalypse
CRY FOR THE MOON!
I'm praising the Sun! \[T]/
And crying for the Moon
stop doing both ya heathen lol jk
1:32 It's clear that whoever made this Opening loved his job...and the X-men.
Wow, they had the right idea with this. Really highlights what the x-men show could have been like. Too bad there isn't more like this.
Imagine if this series was written and made in Japan.....
actually marvel and DC have mangas of their stories in japan, they could make this happen
I doubt that it possible Japan.
At least not in current time.
Sentai genre were popular in 80s.
But now, you can't just make an anime without having a one central major character and not call it protagonist.
Self insert is a huge thing in anime right now.
Having big story revolving around one main character is better than having story revolving around 4+ characters as Sentai is.
Ofc everything depending on taste.
But, hey, just look what genre trending in Japan right now?
Coughharemandisekaiscough.
@@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr I've always been curious about what they changed about superheroes in Japan I mean like in the same vain as certain video game characters like how they made crash and ratchet and clank look more cuter for Japan for example
@@Demial_Sparda that's what i hate the most about many anime, tge entire universe revolves around the protagonist.
It probably be your typical Shonen Jump anime.
I need this song to make a return next month with xmen 97
los japóneses si saben como ponerle ganas de ver la serie mil veces este opening
Opening 1: Hokuto no ken.
Opening 2: Saint Seiya
Exactly what I thought
YOU WA SHOCK!
The end of opening 2 looks more similar to DBZs intro ending.
Occhipinti Occhipinti YOU WA SHOOOOOCK!!!
Orlando Céspedes it’s more like: Xmen 2nd opening looks like DBZ - la la head cha la😁
When FOX Kids meant EVERYTHING to me. Nothing could convince me that Japan had this playing in their country until someone showed me a VHS Tape of it. My mind would of been blown away forever during my youthful days.
Damn Gambit needs to chill, you can't just take apocalypse alone!
He’s such a fucking anime MC, I swear
The power to charge anything and have it explode... oh he's ready.
Gambit is so badass he was made to be a anime character
This is anime not an American comic book "nakama" power can make him defeat Apocalypse alone
Please Gambit doesn’t break a sweat fighting Apocalypse. Now pine trees on the other hand...
Japan gets it right. Respects the source material with a passion. The art work is 100% just like the comics.
Wow first time seeing this opening 😮😮
It's so epic.
k
Same
SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK
Right!!! 🙌🏿
I swear I have never seen something so Japanese and American at the same time. It's beautiful.
Have you seen Thundercats(1985)?
also it's good to see Logan using his claws. unlike in the show😡.
Logan used his claws, just on robots he couldn't used them on people and get blood everywhere because the FOX censors would never allow it on the air at the time which is understandable considering if you where a parent in the 90s and you saw your kid watching a show filled with everyone dying graphic death scenes you'd be like OH MY GAWD!!!!!
Linda Cherone That sensorshit was really incoherent and nonsense. Remember that in those same years Mortal Kombat was hugely popular and it was played by lots of Kids( I was one of them)
MrFacundo7 Yeah, but MK was a +18 game, meanwhile X-Men TAS was a kids TV series
@@erickjr9 no it wasn't it as T which means 12+ I think M is 18+
From what I know, the ESRB have MK classified as an "M" game
The sequence with Wolverine, Cyclops and Jean Grey tells you all you need to know about that love Triangle. Very good work.
