X-men Anime Episode 5


Finally, episode 5 of the X-men anime is out! And it's about time Emma Frost dons her X-men costume. Was getting quite tired of seeing her wearing that same attire the last couple of episodes. The episode is kind of laid back compared to the previous episodes, such that there is no serious plot here, nor any danger and stuff. It focuses on Hisako's training, and we get a look at Emma's past. Hisako in the anime, I must say, is rather a crybaby compared to the one introduced in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-men. The anime seemed to changed some characters, in fact. Emma Frost I expected a cold, classy woman with snappy remarks, but the anime potrays her as a caring, soft teacher. I mean, sure, that shows how much she loves teaching but I could use some coldness from her. Still, this anime has yet to disappoint. In fact, I'm quite amused that Wolverine made a joke of sort. I find Emma's costume average, considering how much sexier the outfits her comics counterpart are. Hisako's uniform is new too, to deviate from her comic counterpart. Judging from the preview, next episode will throw the team back into the main plot.
