It seems the original X-Men animated series wanted to lean on anime as well.
X-Men is back, and the Marvel team has never looked so good. Over on Disney+, the superheroes have made a comeback courtesy of X-Men '97. The animated revival hones in on the highs of X-Men : The Animated Series with a few big updates. And recently, two of the show's directors weighed in on its anime influences.
"Chase and I talked about that first off, when we both were signed on. We said there's a lot that we want to take from the original series, but there's also so much more from eighties, nineties animation. One of the biggest things that even Larry Houston talks about on the original was being restricted by budget. But then you go over, and you look at the Japanese animation that was coming out at the time, and I'm sure that they were restricted by budgets as well.
Adding in, Conley admitted the directors behind X-Men '97 conferred with Houston about the revival as the director of X-Men: The Animated Series opened his doors. It was there the team learned Houston had his own anime aspirations for the X-Men team. "He had seen Ninja Scroll. He was really into that. But at the time, it was schedule was crazy. Budget was very limited. And I think also the talent base at the time, they came from a different school of thought, whereas now, the market has shifted. The audience is much more in tune with somewhat more cinematic staging I think when it comes to certain series, because of anime."
