well, on the plus side, the production values are very good. The animation and the soundtrack are great.
On the negative side; the plot is pretty boring and completely lacks a hook, the pacing is terrible; the direction lacklustre and frequently making very little sense (lots of people standing around having repetitive conversation while the villains do important stuff that, maybe, they should be thinking to stop, yknow?) and especially bad for the action scenes with a rather ridiculous lack of what tactics look like for the x-men; and the characterisation is... well either the characters are one note and pretty stereotypical (Wolverine, Scott, Hisako), either they have no personality at all (Beast, Storm, most of the OCs).
It also tends to the melodrama; though I don't really mind that, and works well with X-Men; or would have is the storytelling and characters had been more interesting.
