I was able to watch Episode 1 subbed, here are my thoughts

How would you open the anime version of X-Men? How about the deat of Jean Grey, people like it enough it's been done a dozen times. This time she is being controlled by the Inner Circle. The school has closed but some emergency requires Professor X to bring them back. Storm's powers (and chest) are back and bigger than ever. Wolverine seems to have his standard attitude, but is in a decent mood. Beast is using that super intellect to be a professor. Cyclops is dealing with the loss of Jean. Mission 1 is to find Ichika Hisako, a Japanese schoolgirl, who has gone missing. But first Storm and Wolverine need to get Cyclops back. And Episode 1 ends. We see the Juggernaut, Stryfe, Mystique, Magneto, the White Queen, and a brunette in the distance (I'm hoping it's X-23) in the outro. The music score is well done, I like the art style, and the voice acting seems pretty good. As an X-Men fanboy my hopes are high for this series. There are ton's of characters I'm hoping to see, Psylocke, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Mr Sinister, and the list just keeps going. Have you seen it yet? What did you think? What characters are you hoping to see make their way into the story?
