The animation isn’t as good as the previous four seasons because it looks too cartoony (like the new wolverine and x-men show, yuck!) but the stories are still killer!!!
If you don’t want to read the comic but want to visually see what x-men is all about, burn your copies of ALL the x-men movies and buy these!! these cartoons have more adult subject matter and are more true to the comic than anything else on dvd! i’m proud to be a huge fan of this show, it’s 80% like the comic, while the movies are like 30%. simply the best and i think this is for young adult mostly because the adult issues explored her are not for kids!! i was considering giving this to my nephew, who is 7 years old but after watching the show again, i was like “better wait until he’s 12.”

Okay; I’m a little confused. I just started Vol. 3 with the Savage Land, Strange Heart episodes and am wondering what happened to these episodes:
No Mutant Is an Island
A Deal with the Devil
Longshot
Were they never originally aired? Does anyone know what the plans are for these? Especially with “No Mutant Is an Island” explaining how Jean Grey comes back.
Am I missing something

YAY!!!! For a second there I thought they were going to leave us hanging forever.
Now if we can only get season 4 of X-Men Evolution on DVD…that would be great!!!!

Marvel’s 90s X-Men animated series comes to an end with this fifth DVD set from Disney, which contains the final episodes of the beloved series, which remains to this day the best Marvel animated series ever produced. In these episodes, the X-Men face-off against a powerful alien force (“The Phalanx Covenant”), Omega Red returns with vengeance on his mind (“A Deal with the Devil”), Nightcrawler’s past and family ties are revealed (“Bloodlines”), and Wolverine reminisces back to fighting alongside Captain America in World War II (“Old Soldiers”). The best of the bunch here though are undoubtedly the two-parter “Phalanx Covenant”; in which Beast and Forge form an unlikely alliance with Magneto and Mr. Sinister, “Descent”; in which the origins of Mr. Sinister are explored, and the final episode “Graduation Day”; which finds the X-Men uniting with Magneto in an effort to save the life of Professor Xavier. Though the animation quality and voice work took a downward turn in some of these last episodes of the series, its overall message remained untouched. Just as it was when these episodes first aired, seeing them again on DVD is bittersweet, if only due to the fact that this is the end.
