I'll try to keep this brief as a lot has been written already concerning what xmen evolution is about. This incarnation is not too dissimilar to the television series 'smallville' in that it focuses more on teenage issues and growing up, but with the added burdens and responsibilities of mutant powers. Rent or buy the DVD, but stick with it. You WILL be rewarded.
This in my opinion is the best made technically (cant argue with the high production values - especially sound) - and in my opinion is the best animation series for the xmen franchise. Imagine the batman series that was so popular, but less dark - but certainly as adult when needed to be. The series get better and better towards the grand finale, so stick with it and I assure you, you'll be hooked. I was a die-hard fan (and still am) of the previous extremely popular animation of xmen. But this takes us back to the beginnings of the xmen characters, but also reminds us what its like not to fit in, and what its like to be part of a family or community. A happy environment to be in and immerse yourself for the most part, but fret not, when it gets serious - it gets serious. Huge battle sequences? You got it. Puts the live action versions to shame. Its characters and stories that this show builds on and utilises. Great voice-over work, great sound just the icing on the cake.
