X-Men Japanese Intro

[TheDeckinator]

Shock!

[SMAXZO]

Why isn't Japan making this instead? This is too fucking awesome!

[Liiitza]

O.M.G....THIS ROCKS!!!!

[xmenlover16]

11 people didn't cry for the moon. Sad day...for them.

[lol1143]

Oh god Japan...why so awesome?

[Chunmeista]

Apparently Magneto can also summon zerglings. :D

[SMAXZO]

@Chunmeista They're hydralisks.

[axe1405]

wow!!!i never thought that there was a japanese version....

[MrMekune]

@axe1405

There isn't. The only difference is the intro and endings. As much as I bore of anime, I wish the Japs that amde this intro also did the whole cartoon since they action in the intro is MASSIVELY better than the actual show.

[Fushibi]

CRY FOR THE MOON

[untrixi]

omg awesome

[Fapturd]

holy shit nigga!!!

[Bandaids4ever]

I wonder how disappointed they the Japanese youth were once the actual show started. :D

[Lineofdeath2]

Cable showed up quite a bit!!! Cable rules.

[Afroshepard]

well that was quite a ....SHOCK!!!!!!!!!

[TheSlickAndroid]

and once again Japan utterly kicks the shit out of us in terms of animation(even when it comes to our own cartoons).

[TronZEROPi]

I love how this intro says in the style of the show yet is many more times over badass.

[AlexanderTheGreat91]

whose the guy with the whips wolverine's fightinge? He looks familiar

[khmerphilip]

@AlexanderTheGreat91 Omega Red

[Sirlie08]

I wanna whats this :'(

[wrgarcia34]

FADED SENT ME :D

[BTIsaac]

Wait. Magneto is using Zerg? What? Did they have Koreans on the animation team?

[zechs3]

i bet japanese people were pissed when they realized the show was nothing like that!

[BTIsaac]

@zechs3

They have their own version now so...

[TheSlickAndroid]

@zechs3 if our animation studios worked as hard at making an animated series out of popular comics we would have had a Bone(Jeff Smith) cartoon by now.

[Chillidan24]

nice, Beast can split the earth open

[TheYosh96]

japan just kick ass i love them as much i love my dick

[ltsmash99]

I love how magneto has the ability to summon The Brood.

[Kloo]

@ltsmash99 I guess the brood are made of metal

[GeeMcBee]

Japan, Fuckyeah!

[iamwaytokoolforu]

"Break out" should have been screamed!!

[Jericho398]

dragonball z sound.

[Jericho398]

0:20 i think thay made z-men

[Mihailff]

As much as I love the american 90's cartoon......... This japanese one makes me wish it was done by the japanese

[mrghetto69]

hahahah that is intense

[winmazing]

never knew magneto could control zergs

[SilentEagles]

Japanese X-MEN opening totally kick ass. The American version not so good.

[RincewindsHat66]

0:56 I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going...

[pizzarelaguy]

Magneto's power to summon xenomorphs was never really properly explored anywhere else but in the jap intro.

[pathora44]

@pizzarelaguy Those aliens that Magneto summoned in the intro are called The Brood an alien parasitic race that were alot like the aliens in Alien. The Brood were introduced in 1982 so more then likely the guys who came up with the idea took it from Alien.

[KshBlnts420]

God, I fucking love the Japanese

[fmylifejc]

*lol* SHOCK! & Cry for the moon. Crazy Japanese rock makes it all the better.

[chazjo]

Wow Jubilee can actually do something useful!

[Gilmoreboy2007]

@chazjo That's funny!

[amiablephantom]

this reminds me of dragonball z

[BLinkCrash]

Pissed the most epic part is cut off. "Cry for the moo?" What are we cows?

[ironicRON]

the japanese know the definition of hype

[CUBETechie]

its amazing 

[AndreisReaper666]

Nice to see cabel in there

[ILoooooveCamels]

Marvel, you may want to rethink letting Japan use Omega Red. Those tentacles are gonna go some weird places.

[96dnibrats]

literally a million times better than the american x-men cartoon opening

[ICHIGOHOLLOW87]

@96dnibrats

is true

[RobDiaz97]

@96dnibrats agreed.

[SamvoltS]

what band play that song?? sounds like it where the vocalist of Saber Tiger...i'm almost sure \m/

[Jamesx1010]

[dapithapon]

they make it look like that jubilee get some action

[decepticon300]

[Bobubobme]

This one's for you morph "CRY FOR THE MOON!"

[balmoregato]

[balmoregato]

[Yangeth]

[akumavsguile]

[y3ll0ch0c0lat3]

Charles X looked pimp with Rogue and Storm next to him!

[TheTrueIceman]

CRY FOR THE MOO!!!

[DirEnGay]

@TheTrueIceman Hahaha I was reading that just as it happened.

[NovaZengear]

@TheTrueIceman

ohhhhhh snap that made me laugh hard.

[xnightshadyx]

Why the hell was Cable there?

[IAMTOADMAN]

@xnightshadyx he was in the cartoon quite a bit! though i don't know why the brood were in this, they didn't appear in the show at all

[xnightshadyx]

@IAMTOADMAN Cable was on the show now and then, but he certainly wasn't a main character.

[IAMTOADMAN]

@xnightshadyx i always thought he was, every show needs a mysterious stranger!

that and cable kicks ass so i don't mind him being in the intro

[shadowfax273k]

The English version is awesome.

But the Japanese version is EPIC.

[BadGuy45]

This makes me want to think of.... YOU WA SHOCK!

[OmegaDude22]

Japanese animators know how to make stuff effing epic!

[Cointossingkiller]

Now, that's an opening!

[Highretrogamelord89]

F-!!!

This is better than the American intro (which is also good, but this one is more ... thrilling)

[Cointossingkiller]

@Highretrogamelord89 I say they're both on par. One's more of a thrill, one's more of a kill!

[Someonewholovesmusi1]

aaah the good old days of cartoons when decapitation was the norm

[SkyLineGTR1289]

Japanese voice acting are always badass...

[blah227]

!! Rogue winked at me!

[DingChavez959]

Magneto, the master of....summoning aliens from underground.

[MrStarcraftPlayer]

WTF? Hydralisk? :D

[nprime2000]

CRY FOR THE MOON!!!

[Alenthas]

started off pretty good but goes downhill from there :D

[TheWanniza]

SHOCK !!!

[vasaznion13]

gotta love cable doing random AHVB even tho he's not part of the actual team.

[shiken]

@vasaznion13 AHVB? he's not in the air... or even doing a viper beam. marvel player? lol

[IvynTaasin]

this song makes me feel like i have super powers O_O

[arnolf]

im shocked!

[XxLeThalxXBX]

was does cable look 400 pounds in one part then 200 pounds later

[MetalLion64]

Wait, since when was magneto able to rise aliens from the ground?

[ayukin01]

everything is better in japan

[UzumakiMatrix]

Why didn't Marvel contract japanese artist to draw awesome X-Men cartoons and train American artist how to be so FUCKING AWESOME!!! AT THESE EPIC ANIME

How I wish America would have taken cartooning more serious , they could have been an awesome competition to Japan but NO they decided to not inspire anyone and there is no real damn market in the US SO JAPAN I LOVE YOU ALWAYS FOR MAKING THE MOST EPIC MANGA AND EVERYTHING FOR AGES..FROM THUNDERCATS TO SILVERHAWKS TO X-MEN INTROS WE ALL LOVE YOU

[Aramanak]

so much more badass !

[blazingkhalif2]

for everyone to know only the opeing is different the show itself is exactly the same.

[wakkawakka101]

Prof. X is such a fucking pimp. Ho on each side, bitch!

[Uberjetsu]

@wakkawakka101 lol I gave your comment a thumbs up but for a moment I thought you wrote "A who on each side?...A BITCH!" sounded funny in my head XD

[vspectra]

did the japanese redraw and animate this? The character faces look a bit more anime-ish, particularly the females.

[yoyoyoy500]

Whoa there!.Beast is string but I dont think that even in his current form in the comics that he's strong enough 2 like crack the ground like that.Does any1 know if this is the X-men anime OP 1?

[W4ng4n470r]

OMG Jublee seems more useful in this version!

[vexxez]

@W4ng4n470r

LOL!!

[Toratchi888]

Holy. SH&T. That. Was. Awesome. I also loved how Prof. X got flanked by Rogue and Storm there for a second. Lucky him!

Weird thing, though: Now that I think about it--though I don't remember how long ago this was--they actually played this (Japanese) intro as the background animation to the END CREDITS for the English-language version. ...I'm trying to figure out how THAT works, but WTF...? This must have been more recent... Now I'm gonna go crazy trying to figure it out!

[100poch]

So much more epic than the western one

[chotizs]

holy shit so much better then english intro

[YojimboAuron]

And 10 years later when Japanese companies are actually doing whol series as anime, we got lame-ass lazy Iron-man and wolverine =\

[LoveToWatch1000]

who's the guy in white shooting his guns at 1:23?

[republictrooper091]

@LoveToWatch1000 Cable in a power suit of some sort... this show really needs that badass in there more often.

[TheBType]

@LoveToWatch1000

Cable dude. He was only in the show a couple of times, but this intro kind of features most of the important X-Men characters of the 90's, even if those characters don't actually APPEAR that much in the show itself. Like Omega Red in this intro despite him actually being in a grand total of one episode.

[redwolfxl69]

Ha ha 0:36 SHOCK!!!! Ah japanese cartoon intro's. Seizures ahoy!

[Twardz]

Yeah, NO. This is a pretty good adaption of what this X-Men series was like in the 90's. Trust me, I was there for it.

[danschaoticmind]

I don't remember THIS song! And I watched the show a lot as a kid!

[steamypuppetofmaster]

FUND IT

[FonedykSosajedi]

KrAJ FOr DhE MUN

[KeatonKing]

Japanese version was better, buuuuuuut the music of the English version was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better! Cry for the Moon... Yeah, no.

[bf32987]

Yo wa shock!

[Quy4life]

for once Jubilee and Beast aren't useless as portrayed in the American cartoon.

[MattGAngelOfDeath]

gambit owns

[nano69ify]

I bet the Japanese version has........DEADPOOL!!!!!

[blazingkhalif2]

@nano69ify the show is the same only a different opening

[Ralokone]

@nano69ify its the exact same show with a wierd intro

[nano69ify]

@Ralokone d: Same!? Then whats with the Magneto alien rise thing?!

[WCromlech]

@nano69ify nigga thats the brood

[Ralokone]

@WCromlech dont you mean the family :P

[Ralokone]

@nano69ify that never happened in the show . . . they just put that in the intro to make it look interesting

this intro had almost nothing to do with the show

believe me i was disappointed when i found out . . .

[nano69ify]

@Ralokone So they put the same america animation!? Aw wtf that aint right.

[Ralokone]

@nano69ify indeed

not only that but this intro is not overly japanese in style, and has incredible attention to detail

to see the american show compared to this must have been jarring to say the least

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@nano69ify No, actually it's the same 90s American series we all know, just with a different opening the Japanese themselves did. I like the animations for this better, but I like the classic American opening music much better. 

[nano69ify]

@TheOmegaParadigm Ah....I could go for this opening then.

[ninjasyn]

@nano69ify  THEY FUCKING BETTER

[Medes08]

@nano69ify

And you base this on......

[blitzksr6]

I love these cool effects like the reflecting sunglasses at 01:10 and these speed-stripes for velocity. Not necessary but its the difference between a good and an awesome intro.

[Curttehmurt]

it's missing the awesome theme but otherwise I'd say this is way better than the american opening

[emergencyexit16]

@Curttehmurt I think the guy singing in the background makes it kind of cheesy and more childish. The American version is more appealing to adults and kids wise beyond their years. This version is geared more towards 5 year olds and adults with the thinking of 5 year olds.

[Curttehmurt]

@emergencyexit16 are you just talking about the music or the openings as a whole, and thus insinuating that I have the mind of a 5 year old

[bfg123HELLO]

Sorry but why wasnt rouge able to FLY in the movies? and Why the heck wasn't the character 'Jubilee' in any of the movies? or was her character replaced with 'Shadowcat' a.k.a Kitty? ... then again walking through walls is a lot cooler then making pretty fire works lol

[nano69ify]

@bfg123HELLO Thats cause hollywood is a load of bullshit. 

[Curttehmurt]

@bfg123HELLO I remember in the commentary Bryan Singer felt having Rouge and anyone else fly would be too cheesy, although he conceded on Storm but she still flies very little

[EDJacker]

@bfg123HELLO Rogue's powers didn't let her fly, she absorbed that power from Ms. Marvel. Jubilee was important in the cartoon, but was a very minor character in the comic. Kitty Pryde would have been awesome; it was a shame she only had a bit part in X3.

[cb4224]

@bfg123HELLO jubilee in the cartoon was useless, imagine on the movie how much useless she'd be? but im pretty sure on the xmen 2 movie they showed her on the deleted scenes as a little kid. and for rouge i have no idea why she cant fly lol

[solidkingcobra]

9 people did not cry for the muuooooooooooooooooooooon!

[0ver9000nism]

No clue why Magneto controls hydralisks, but this is pretty sweet!

[mrsycho00]

i feel a rising force

[Kolbatsu]

This should have been the opening to MvC2

[brinpol]

This intro was cooler than the whole US series. Forget all the awesome Wolverine moments. This has Cyclops beheading the Brood! Japanese version FTW.

[Ahturos]

Okay I checked this show was animated by US but a lot of the 90´s super hero shows where animated by cheep paid Japanese/Korean placed companies. That´s why I think it´s sad cuz I wonder what during the 90´s that was animated by US?

It´s a great history behind every epok of shows you know.

[Takunrsx]

this intro its awesome, not the same story line but i fucking love the desing in rogue and storm

[leviticus311]

Would be nice to get an X-men series with that kind of animation.

[cgonza10]

OMFG why didnt we get this intro

[grimnight]

Japanese ver animation>US ver animation

But I grew up watching the US version.

what I hate about the japanese versions are the mechs and op/ed

[GadGades]

@grimnight

 I don't hate anything about it even though some of it doesn't make sense. But the U.S did the show real well, it's perfect as is. the cartoon did have some mechs in it, if you remember whenever they dealt with genosha

[RenaSanverse]

You Are Shock! XD

[RenaSanverse]

You Are Shock! XD (ha very Hokuto no Ken/Fist

[jairoller4life]

best part 1:03 to 1:05

[Rodrigo00]

wtf srsly...

[iTroysGhost]

Holy Balls, I don't remember Cyclops decapitating a row of alien monsters that Magneto can summon for some reason. In fact, I don't remember any of this from the show at all. :P Trust the Japanese to completely miss the point. Oh well, this is one of the funniest and awesome for all the wrong reasons things I have ever seen in my entire life. SHOCK! It doesn't get much better than this, wait, there's a second opening? CRY FOR THE MOON D:

[nouchdaniro]

what the heck are those monsters jubilee and the others were killing??

[karry299]

@nouchdaniro

You never heard of Brood ? What comics were you reading, man ?!

[nouchdaniro]

@karry299

i remember brood now from the classic video games

i only read a few of the comics though.

[kev95]

The original is way better, what does the moon have to do with the Xmen?

[cgonza10]

*o* where was this intro when i was a kid. that was fucking awesome i mean i loved the american version but this intro had more action.

[hanacodaiko]

PRETTY EPIC. There are no comparance to the US or german versions. :D

SHOCK!!!!!

[nubfail]

SHOCK

[truedp23]

that is one hell of an intro, but....still cant beat the american one

[gameboyredpee]

0:31 YOU WA SHOCK!!!

[DamienStryker]

1) did anyone else cry for ear-rape as the song started? 2) did anyone else think about Hokuto No Ken? 3) Why couldn't the show live up to the manic pace of this song? V_V;

[xxmuraxx]

@DamienStryker Number 2. YOU WA SHOCK

[braintheif90]

@DamienStryker i lament the same for mutant ninja turtles and thunder cats

[ulodas]

the back of my knees just blew up!!!

[evan1975]

1:27

[Alfadore]

From 1:01 to the following scenes surely inspire the intro for the arcade games...

[xheartlessx3]

WHY WOULD I CRY TO THE MOON?!

[RecklessDragoon]

@xheartlessx3

Actually, it's "for", not "to". Anyway, I'd cry for the moon, because it's lonely up there. No one inhabits the poor thing, unlike Earth. Poor moon... :'(

[UzumakiMatrix]

@xheartlessx3

symbolic ....wolves cry to the moon

[xheartlessx3]

@UzumakiMatrix This is why i dislike being a top rated comment.

Everyone replies to me.

[stivking]

Whats up with magneto controlling Aliens (Zergs lol) i dont remember that in the english version.

And are those Zoids at 0:54????
