Above are some character designs for the new X-MEN Anime set to air in Japan on April 1 on Animax. Skull cap Cyclops!Marvel posted this plot synopsis:
"The X-Men are reunited following the death of a teammate, and are summoned by Charles Xavier to Japan following the abduction of Hisako Ichiki (Armor). There, they confront the U-Men, a lunatic cult that steals and transplants mutant organs to further strengthen their own army, and the battle for justice is on."Seems to be based heavily on the Grant Morrison run... and some Whedon - yay Armor!
Here's the Teaser Trailer:
According to AnimeNewsNetwork: "Animax already launched an Iron Man and Wolverine anime, and it is also planning an anime for Marvel's Blade character this summer. The American network G4 plans to begin running these four titles this year."
Cool this will eventually hit the U.S., but I'd like to get ahold of the Japanese language version... I can't stand anything dubbed.

Emma Frost will also be in it too, but probably later in the series.
Morrison and Whedon's runs were probably the best X-Men runs in recent memory. It's good to see Madhouse pay homage to the two.
Armor makes perfect sense for the anime, if you ask me.
