In my humble opinion, this is the greatest cartoon of all time. Certainly the greatest comic-book adaption of all time. For all you kids out there, if you want to know why the 80s and 90s were the glory years for cartoons, go on youtube and check out some of these episodes. The animated series is certainly exceptionally better than the lousy films. If the X-men films had been a tenth as good as the cartoons, they would have been awesome movies. The first three seasons were the best, the series wasn't quite up to snuff for the last two seasons (but it's still better than most of the stuff on TV nowadays). Season 3 was my personal favorite, as it featured an amazing adaption of the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix Saga. But I also loved the Mr. Sinister storyline in season 2. And the sentinel storyline in season 1 was well-produced as well, culminating in my personal favorite episode, FINAL DECISION, where Magneto helps the X-Men take out the sentinels and Mastermold.
