Preliminary (11/12 eps)
Only one more episode to go and it up to the next Marvel anime series, let me first say that my review is based on how I've watched this anime with some comparison with other animated series being shown in TV. I don't have any access to some of those comic books about Wolverine, so forgive me if there will be some inconsistencies with my facts.

Ok let's get started:

Story: fair number 6.

Ok, so this Wolverine is a Japanize version of the Wolverine we used to watch from various animated series, which by the way includes the movie. Literally, this is a totally different Wolverine, co'z this Wolverine is about him being a kinght in shining armor who is rescuing a damsel in distress from the cruel father and groom .

Art: Very Good 8.

Ok, so the way the characters were drawn are totally symmetrical, though the 's female characters seem to look more masculine I guess I can go for it, since the masculinity kinda gives the female characters that amazon spunk. Also, as for Cyclops, I like the way which the illustrator has gone with the old Cyclops design since that's how the original Cyclops should be, but I'm a little disgusted as to why the illustrator decided to sport wolverine in a red jacked instead of the signature brown and yellow leather jacket which is often featured in most wolverine animated series including the movie which we see Hugh Jackman sporting it.

Sound: Decent 4.

Don't ask.

Characters: Decent 4.

As I've mentioned this Wolverine is about a knight in shining armor whose mission is to rescue the damsel in distress, it simply a fairy tail in steroids, so as in any damsel in distress thing what do we have:

Knight in shining armor- Logan aka wolverine and aka James Howlett (Who's idea is that anyway?) Check.

Damsel in distress- Yashid a Mariko, check.

Evil father - Shingen Yashida,check.

Evil Villian - Hideki Kurhagi, check.

Evil Henchman - Kikyo Mikage (I think), check.

Alliances- Yukio , her grandfather, Min and her grandfather's henchmen, check.

Monsters- well, there is Omega Red and there is this somekind of ancient robot thing, check.

Villain's castle- that would be Madipor, so check it is.

So in a sense, we have a decent amount of cast in this kind of fairy tail in steroids.

Enjoyment and Overall: decent 4

And I don't need to mention "Why."
