I never had seen the original series, even though I had heard good things about it. However, I was very interested in X-Men '97 because the creators said that it wouldn't need previous knowledge to comprehend the events of this series and so I decided to watch it. And oh boy...was it good. This and Young Justice are the best superhero shows ever made and it's not even up for debate. X-Men '97 has extremely compelling characters, adapts masterfully (and in some cases surpassing the originals) many classic storylines, the episode duration is awesome (usually for animated projects the runtime is 22 minutes, but this was 32+ minutes), just everything. To be honest, I cannot find any fault with the series, outside the fact that it could have fleshed out some storylines a bit more, but it might have been for the better that theyrl kept it short.
