Wolverine and the X-Men is a really engaging and addictive show and needs someone to take it up for at least a second season.
The premise is that Wolverine must gather the X-Men to correct what caused the downfall into endless war and suffering in the future after an explosion at the institute works really well as a framework for the overall story. Gradually the pieces are put back together and never feels dragged out.
Though Wolverine is the central character to the story we also get a well done character arcs for others like Emma Frost, Jean Grey and Cyclops which all serve the story to perfection.
Though the violence is toned down to make it suitable to younger viewers the writers didn't shy away from keeping the tone rather dark with thrilling action scenes told through smooth and slick animation. Some shots of different places in here look absolutely gorgeous.
And the voice acting is top-notch! Steve Blum does a pretty convincing impersonation of Cathal Dodd from the 90's series and Jim Ward is suitably suiting as Charles Xavier. There are cases of truly powerful acting especially from Nolan North as Cyclops which amazed me.
Wolverine and the X-Men is very underrated in my opinion, because despite its short running time it manages to get on par with the 90's series which many use as a tool for comparison like Batman: the Animated Series is to later incarnations. But this deserves a second season, because such a cliff-hanger ending is begging to get a second season.
A must watch for X-Men fans on par with the 90's series.
