Just a month since its premiere, X-Men '97 is receiving enthusiastic reviews, pleasing Marvel fans everywhere. The creators of the animated series recently discussed some of their anime inspirations that shaped the show.
The revival of X-Men is unquestionably a success. Packed with incredible action scenes and a surprising amount of emotion and maturity, the animated series is making waves. The show's anime influence is not a secret as two creators of the show openly discussed how they incorporated their inspirations into the series.
In an interview with ComicBook, Eli Yonemura and Chase Conley discussed their favorite anime influences in X-Men '97, revealing their pervasive presence throughout the series. While acknowledging their debt to the original animated series, they emphasized their strong inspiration from the animation style prevalent in the eighties and nineties.

Let's show some cool s***.'» The impact of these influences is widespread, embraced by animators from both the old and the new animated series. The X-Men '97 team effectively uses anime to enrich the Marvel series, a strategy that is evidently paying off given the show's success.
Conley mentioned that during a dinner with Houston, where they talked about the new animated series, Houston shared his favorite anime influence: Ninja Scroll. However, the creative team faced various challenges at the time: a limited budget, hectic schedules, and animators from diverse schools and styles, all of which significantly affected the final product.
