Was the series perfect? No, but it came pretty darn close. This is an X-Men/Marvel cartoon series I would love to be able to watch every week. Unfortunately for reasons beyond their control, the show was canceled after only one season. I have been told and common sense say that the chances of another X-Men animated series is pretty good. It's just too bad this one had to end just when everything was working so well.
Did this series work as a comic book adaption?

What about the Special Features? I mentioned in my last review that the commentary is definitely worth listening to. I'm not a huge fan of listening to people talk while watching a movie or show, but the guys here are hilarious. They also give a ton of insight about what went into each episode and facts that weren't made public at the time.
There is also a "Making of Wolverine and the X-Men" feature. This is a five minute segment that gets right down to what happened in making the show.
The audio and video look great. The animation moves smoothly and the show looks brilliant even though it has a sort of muted color scheme to it.
I would give this series a 4.5 out of 5. If for some reason you missed out on the show when it aired, do yourself a favor and buy this or put it on your gift list. There's so many different characters here and the whole series has such a wide feel to it. It's available on DVD and Blu-ray. Make sure to pick it up. It's in stores today.
