    This show is amazing!

    The first episode had my attention, but after this i am fuldt hooked! This elevated everything! Incredible animation and a complex story with a whole lot more emotional depth and consequences that can be felt!

    This episode had some of the best elements from the X men universe! Trying to find your place in a world that hates you! The themes and Magneto's speech still feel very relevant today! Humans will always fight that which they fear and do not understand!

    Animation was superb with some breathtaking sequences! Honestly one of the best animated cartoons i have seen! Everything feels so organic and the fight scenes are fluent and creative!

    This show has just begun, but I can feel the passion for the source material, and I think this will be an unforgetable journey!
