Summary: Is that guy kidding?
Review: "The Chris Claremont interview shows what a dull/uninventive writer he really is. I'm glad he's not involved with the X-Men movies in any way. Only Stan Lee is." -A Viewer (See below)
Is he kidding? Not only is Chris Claremont CURRENTLY writing Uncanny X-men, he's also the best writer they ever had, penning for example a funny little tale called THE PHOENIX SAGA! Which X-Men 3 is going to be based on!! Stan Lee's great, but Chris Claremont did for X-Men what Miller did for Daredevil... he brought them to the next level.
I agree with the other reviews that this show was great, but why are they giving them to us bit by bit? X-Men is the most popular comic of all time, and this show is arguably as good as Batman's show, if in different ways. They are releasing Batman properly, so why not X-Men?

* Synopsis *
========
Wolverines former love, Yuriko, comes to seek revenge because she thinks he caused her fathers death.
The X Men stop Yuriko from killing Wolverine.
Gambit, Rogue, and Wolverine take a ski trip in Germany for some much-needed R & R. While Gambit and Rogue seem to be enjoying themselves, Wolverine is restless, and longs for some action. When he hears reports of a demon hiding in a local monastery, his investigation reveals not a demon, but a mutant, Nightcrawler, whose devilish appearance is in stark contrast to his peaceful and deeply philosophical nature. While the X-Men convince the townsfolk not to fear what they do not understand, Wolverine, too, learns something about the nature of faith.
Wolverine, losing control, quits the X-Men to return to rural Japan, site of happier times, in an effort to find himself. He works peacefully with a former spiritual teacher, the monk Oku, to build a temple. But the neighboring village is about to be attacked by bandits, led by the merciless Silver Samurai, unless payment is made. Some of the villagers want to resist, and ask Wolverine for help. Wolverine is torn. This is just the sort of thing he had wanted to leave behind. Meanwhile, Jubilee, blaming herself for Wolverine's abrupt departure, is searching rural Japan for him.
Recovering from their initial battle with the X-Men, Gyrich and Trask have resumed Project Wideawake by creating the ultimate Sentinel: the Master Mold, a walking factory capable of creating Sentinel robots at an assembly-line pace. The X-Men must join with their oldest nemesis, Magneto, to destroy the Master Mold and prevent the extermination of all mutantkind.

Summary: Great
Review: After seeing X2, my interest in X-Men once again came alive. This DVD is great. They picked some very good episodes from the cartoon series and it felt very nostalgic. The only reason I gave it a 4 was because another episode or 2 would have been appreciated.

Summary: Great if you're a 90's fan...
Review: As a kid I enjoyed watching X-Men with my brother, those were the good old days... My brother's friend, who is a Marvel nerd, let us borrow this, and we enjoyed watching one of our favorite cartoons from the past!
You must be warned though, "Nightcrawler" is the only episode not dealing with Wolverine. He just argues with eceryone and *SPOILER* decides to pray more and read the Bible.
I reccomend you buy this one if you like the 90's X-Men to enjoy the good times again.

Summary: Fluffer Stuff
Review: First Off this DVD only has 5 episodes 1. Out of the Past
2. Out of the Past II
3. Nightcrawler
4. The Lotus and the Steel
5. The Final Decision (Bonus) Only 1 episode really has to do with Wolverine. The rest is fluff. In "Out of the Past" Part one we see how Wolverine got his claws. In "Lotus and the Steel" he goes back to a monastery in Japan. In the third and fifth episode, Wolverine is just a regular X-men. This DVD is just a way the studio can make a quick buck because of the X-men 2 Movie hype. The X-men Animated Series is great and should be released as a BOX SET, not single discs. But getting back to the DVD. There are other episodes that are probably better for this DVD. Like “Red Dawn†with Omega Red, “Repo Man†which tells of his claws and time with Alpha Flight. “Weapon X, Lies, and Videotape†tells of his time as Weapon X. And “Old Soldiers†which is about his adventures in WWII with Captain America. But technically the transfers to dvd look clean and crisp.

Summary: What i really wanna see...
Review: I bought this DVD, it generally was good, however it's sopposed to be about the history of WOLVERINE, not his "currrent" adventures... the WWII episode would have been better & some of the other Weapon X and Sabretooth oriented episodes would have been welcomed, personally I WOULD KILL(literally) for a boxed set of all 76(or so) episodes, in their entirety on DVD... that would make the greatest Chirstmas gift ever, now that's an X-FANS dream come true!!

Summary: They shouldn't tease us like this.
Review: I like these episodes. In fact the bonus episode The Final Decision may be one of the best X-men episodes, but come on. I wish they'd start releasing the whole series on DVD. The way they've done it, they're just teasing all of the fans out there. Throwing us a bone every now and then. I think there were probably some episodes that might have given us more insight into Wolverine than some of these did. Weapon X, Lies, and Videotape would have been a good one, but They're still good episodes. I love the commentary. It's very good, although he could be a little more relevant at times. I'd say over all it's an excellent DVD, picture and sound are great. It's just too little, but it's not too late. If they'd get a TV station to start showing this again, peak some interest in the young kids, they could sell the whole series on DVD and it would sell great. It's one of the greatest cartoon series of all time and they should market it more.

Summary: With Wolverine, everything is great!
Review: I'm sorry others seemed disappointed in this DVD collection, but I was utterly satisfied! Something else that satisfied me completely, as far as Sci-Fi/Action books are concerned, was THE ADVENTURES OF DARKEYE: CYBER HUNTER...an extremely fast-paced book that takes place in the 23rd Century and reads like a script for a movie due to its unique "log entries" that really pushes the story along! Great read! I highly recommend it!
