Synopsis: Wolverine is facing psychological issues, and Professor X doesn't seem to be able to help. To work things out, Wolverine goes to a village in Japan, where he once lived years ago. Not long after arriving, he discovers that the villagers are under threat by the Silver Samurai, who rules all of the nearby villages with an iron fist. Wolverine is trying to give up his violent ways, but, the people in the village can't face their tyrannical ruler on their own. Will Wolverine be able to lead them to victory?
The Good: This is a bit different than usual, as it doesn't feature nearly as many mutants; regular characters such as Jean, Cyclops, or Beast appear only briefly, if at all. Much of the battling is done sans superpowers. Still, I enjoyed it.
The Bad: When a show starts to lose its original focus, it's usually a sign of the end; hopefully, it won't deviate too much in the remaining episodes.
Content Concerns: Sex: Two brief kisses; a woman is called a "babe". Nudity: Wolverine is seen shirtless about four or five times. Language: Name-calling. Violence: Action violence throughout, though the villagers do their best to defeat their nemeses without killing. Drugs: None. Frightening/Intense Scenes: Scary villains; emotionally intense flashbacks; Wolverine gets very upset at times.
