Well, Wolverine is part of the X-men franchise. =.=;;

Either ways, the first episode wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. At least it was better than Iron man's first episode, though that isn't saying much.

Still, though, the story is a little generic (tragic love story much?), but it can still turn out good. The action scenes were nice, though the romance in there was cheesy. I'll at least watch the next few episodes to see how things go from here.

OP theme (no lyrics, eh?)

老眼 = Long-sightedness (Well, the kanji literally mean Old Man's Eyes, but that is the meaning)

Wouldn't 狼眼 (also pronounced Rougan but meaning Wolf-Eyes) make a bit more sense?

Well, can't say that Wolverine I see in this is the same Wolverine I know from Marvel. Let's hope that level of the next episodes will be higher, because I didn't like what I saw in first one...

This looks like it won't be much better than Iron Man. Did we really need a flashback to the opening scene every time someone mentioned Mariko? And a flashback for the bad guy at the end that the detective spent five minutes talking about? We're not that stupid, geez.

...Am I the only one who thought they did a good job with this?

Seriously, they managed to get the key thing right, and that would be Wolverine's character. Last time, they fucked up Iron Man entirely.

Could still end up crap, but I think this was a decent debut.

Which was taken from a scene from the first Wolverine mini.

So if that ruined him for you, he's been ruined for 28 years and by the guy who created most likely everything you like about the character.

OP theme (no lyrics, eh?)


The whole Marvel collab. thing wasn't designed for Japan, it was designed for America, eliminating the lyrics makes bringing the series to an american audience all the easier, AKA not having to go through the effort of changing the theme song.
It's pretty much just Marvel trying to make money off of anime's rise in popularity. This is why Madhouse made this anime despite knowing that it would get almost no interest from the Japanese audience, because it was packaged for America.

So are all the ones here the survivors of the Iron Man anime and want to continue the Marvel/Madhouse animes? If so, then count me in since I'll be continuing this till the end(even the X-Men and Blade anime).

As for the episode, wasn't that bad. They got the headstrong, wild part of Logan, though him being skinny is kinda weird.
That Shingen is a strong one, though wooden swords that can slash enemies a few feet away. For a Marvel show, that's within the limit but still I don't quite buy it.
Anyways, the plot seems to be focused to Logan's lovelife and some mafia/criminal business. Hope it gets a bit more interesting than Iron Man's enemy of the week format.

Shingen also sounds familiar, I'm not sure where I heard him. Can anyone enlighten me on who his seiyuu is. No one seems to bother to update the character database of this show.

While listening to him his voice reminded me of King Bradley. I forgot the seiyuu's name though.

I actually liked this. Wolverine was the typical anti-hero going after what's rightfully his, and he's slashing everyone who gets in his way. I like that. I can only hope it gets even better, and that what we saw today wasn't as good as it gets.

Wolverine is pretty awesome in his typical gung-ho lets scream and beat stuff up way. I have to say the action was a lot better than Iron man.

However Mariko is a pretty bad character at this point. I don't like how we are suppose to get into his story when we only get one single line: "Are you cold" I like it when you smile. Thats the best!"

Story isn't that bad though.

I for one enjoyed the first episode, yes the romance is a bit cheesy but any romance involving Logan has been somewhat cheesy throughout the X-Men franchise. That's just the way it is. I liked the level of action in this and the animation was good as well. The ED was kind of weird though and I can't wait to see this badass chick next episode, well I hope she's badass anyway >.> and I'm thinking she might be Mariko's mom which would be awesome.

Also Hideki's voice is super annoying, I don't like him ==;

A love story? Seriously?

I expected something better. For some reason, Wolverine and romance do not match together.

Didn't like much of the first episode, hope it will get improved later.
