X-Men: The Animated Series all the way baby.

I really like X men Evolution once it gets going because of the way the story continues, and I don't like the original series after they stopped making the episodes have a proper order.

So a mixture of both of them

Cloudzor
the original animated series is leagues better than the garbaeg they're spewing out now... IMO embarrasment

Kazenji
X-Men: The Animated Series, Pretty much what Cloudzor

and also got most of its stories directly from the comics.

What?!? No listing for that one-shot "Pryde of the X-Men" cartoon pilot, the one with the "X-Men, X-Men, this is the day..." theme song? It's been, eeesh...like fifteen years since I saw that one, but I remember it being pretty cool. But I guess it would help it it was actually a series and not a one-and-done.

I'm just happy the X-Men appearances from 'Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends' didn't make the poll. Australian Wolverine getting his claws stuck in a wall = awful.

Mandrag Ganon
X-men the animated series all the way. Can't stand Evolution or Wolverine and the X-men

Without doubt the title goes to X-Men: The Animated Series.

ToyChop
Yeah, my vote would go to 'X-Men: TAS' as well.

My favorite scene would be Gladiator's arrival, his POV of approaching Earth, then going through the clouds, then *BOOM!*, showing up and clearing house on Juggy. Good stuff.

ToyChop
I still love this opening theme, tho:

I'm an idiot. I should have rewatched both shows before voting. When I was younger I hated X-Men TAS and loved Evolution since Evolution was more kiddish than TAS. After rewatching both shows (now having a better knowledge of x-men comics and being more mature than a few years ago) I realize that TAS was the best.

Eh, too obvious.

It's okay. That's understandable. Then again, I didn't watch TAS until I came across it on Fox Kids long after Evolution was done airing.

Evolution, because it has more than 2 episodes with Colossus(Against Juggernaut and Omega Red, they wanted him to lose, but he still did awesome.)

Ya know, X-Men TAS had its legitimately great episodes. They tnd to be the parts people remember and talk about in threads like this.
Episodes with Apocalypse, Magneto, the Dark Phoenix Saga... That's some great stuff.

But there's a whole lot of crap in-between those great eps.

That's why i pick X-Men Evolution. It had better characterization and storylines overall and ya know what really made it? The fact the voice-acting doesn't make my ears bleed. Almost everyone iN TAS sounded awful in the extreme.

There's no way they could have done it of course but I missed Cable in Evo. That's one thing TAS will always have. Cable was all kinds of awesome on that show.

TAS series.

"I'm not a mutant I'm magic!"

Hands down X-Men the Animated Series, but props to Evolution for X-23.

tbh i don't agree at all. the characterisation in TAS held better from the comics, and i honestly liked the voices better in TAS. Not saying that Evolution was bad by any means; in fact the show got better as time went on. If you were to take the totality of both shows and stack them, i honestly believe TAS would win, as Evolution took a long time to find it's feet and get going.

Plus, it had Spike. stick out tongue

Without X-men The Animated Series there would be no Evolution, Not to mention Wolverine and the X-men.

Ridley_Prime
TAS did come first, yeah, though that's not what made it better than the other two in quality (and quantity stick out tongue).

And I liked Spike. At least during the last appearances he made when he was protecting the Morlocks. But yeah, out of all the animated versions of X-Men characters there have been, almost nothing beats Cable in TAS.

the ninjak
The voice actors in TAS were incredible/perfect.

Ridley_Prime
Not all of them.

the ninjak
Which voice actor's characters didn't you like?

chomperx9
why the F did they change Gladiators voice ? he sounds like a total pussy now

Off the top of my head, Rogue's, Gambit's (although it sorta grew on me over time), and a couple others whose names elude me at the moment. Magneto also had a much cooler voice in Evolution.

The accent's not that bad. What I mostly hated was the 3rd person talk.

God I love Rogue's voice. Throaty Southern. Each tom their own I guess.
I found Storm to be annoying but I still liked the choice.

Xplosive
X-Men: TAS. No contest.

And I liked X-Men: Evolution more than Wolverine and the X-Men.

agreed. WATXM annoys, big time.

Ridley_Prime
The Logan wankage in Wolverine and the X-Men wasn't as severe as I thought it would be. For the run the cartoon had, I liked it, but not as much as Evolution. Probably would've liked it better than Evolution though had the Age of Apocalypse season not been canceled along with the show.

I voted for Xmen TAS because of Rogue. She was soo f*cken hot. When I was younger, I wanted to have a girlfriend that looked just like her. Anyway, I voted for that show because all of the characters except for Wolverine. The women looked beautiful, and the men had great physics (I'm one step closer at looking like Cyclops ) big grin... The episodes, the art and the voices were far better than the recent cartoons. However, I was pretty happy with Xmen evolution. I recently watched all of the episodes. But, didn't care for Spike, Avalanche and some of the episodes. Overall, both shows were great but Xmen TAS is the superior.

Ridley_Prime
I honestly liked the hair and stuff Rogue had in Evolution and W&TX-M better than in the original series. The original TAS will always get my vote too, but not because of her.

srankmissingnin
X-Men TAS, but I will say that the animation and production value saddly just hold up as well as Batman or Superman TAS. It isn't nearly as good now as I remember it being. sad

Ridley_Prime
And why is that? Maybe I'm less picky, but it wasn't that long ago since I last watched some of X-Men the animated series again, and thought the animation was up there with the Batman and Superman TAS, except for the last season.
