Synopsis — from MyAnimeList
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.
Audience Consensus
Audience reception is mixed, with some enjoying the animation and character designs, especially for longtime X-Men fans. However, many find the story weak, characters underdeveloped, and the plot melodramatic. The series is considered a decent but flawed adaptation, not living up to its potential.

- Fluid and exciting animation, especially in fight scenes
- Strong voice acting, particularly for Wolverine and Beast
Weaknesses
- Weak or rushed plot
- Underdeveloped characters, especially villains
- Inconsistent character power levels
- Poor integration of Dark Phoenix Saga

- Melodramatic plot
