| After the epic fail of Iron Man, I'm really hesitant to take up this title.. But I'll give it a chance since Logan's new style really clicks with me.. Good first episode, I'm crossing my fingers that Madhouse won't make the same mistake twice.. >.< |
 |
| Just like belatkuro said I'll follow this collaboration until the end. I agree that seeing Wolvie as a skinny character is weird, but aside that I actually liked this episode. The romance was ok to me since he always flirts with ladies and Mariko was, well you know who she was. I can see where its heading if its following the comics. I'm curious to see if they will bring Silver Samurai. Also I think the woman from the next episode is |

| I actually enjoyed this episode and might stick with it 2 or 3 more episodes (dropped Iron Man after first). As for the romance, throughout Wolverines history (comics, animated series) there has always been love interests lie Black Cat, Elektra, Jean Grey, Rogue, Silverfox, Storm, Mariko, and even Mystique. The art was good (not great), but it could be worse. Story was so-so but entertaining for an original Wolverine story (it sure is better than the Wolvering Movie). |
 |
| He was drinking Canadian Beer but he was in New York :D (little details making me enjoy series) |
 |
| I watched it expecting to be as horrible as Iron Man was. ...It's surprisingly good. First episode deserves a 8/10. |
StellaNoxFleuret said: I expected something better. For some reason, Wolverine and romance do not match together. Strange, considering just how many romance plots he has had(and considering the love triangle between Jean Grey, Scott and Logan is one of the key points of x-men incarnation.) Sayuri said: What the Hell did I just watch?! Since when is Wolverine a romantic pussy? Way to milk the cow, Mr. Lee. *drops* Erm...always? Let's see, one of his romance plots ended tragiacally(and has consequences even in the present time) and that was pretty much when he was still learning his way of stuff (his first stay on japan) His second stay in japan, which is what we are seeing now, will go no better than that if they follow the comic books. Afterward, pretty much every, EVERY romance he has got would get a bad end, even the would-be romances like Jean Grey. MEsoJD said: So they didn't stay true to the original trailer like iron man. How surprising -____-. you DO know that there was ANOTHER trailer released afterward, right? Like, the one in which we learnt that this anime is adapting the Frank Miller's "Wolverine" mini series? bskbob said: ^^ logan pwned by a kendo stick what have you done with my fav x-men... Someone needs to learn on some comic book history and certain "Wolverine" miniseries that this anime is adapting. Mugen900 said: Wtf was the author of this anime has in mind when Logan become Howlett James? Well, author of "this anime" had nothing to do with that. James Howlett is the name Logan was given by his parents, wealthy canadian farmers, when he was born. "Logan" is the name he adapted during his stay in the mining colony. SO yes, his real name was and always will be James Howlett. ---------------------- Seriously....the amount of ignorance and claims of "being fan of character" while not knowing the character himself are...startling almost in the same way as reading comments about Green Lantern Trailer with half of them being the ignorant stuff like "why isn't he black dude?". AS for anime, exctly what I expected 4/5 for episode, 3/5 for animation, 5/5 for continuity nods and keeping faithful to the characters. |

| I wonder if they want to put Logan in X-men as it is now, or will do something completly diffrent of him for next series needs... |

Looks like theres one ACTUAL comic book fan other than myself. These stupid people only watch the movies and maybe the cartoons and act like they know anything about wolverine. I didnt know know it was based off of Frank Miller's Wolverine but now that i know that, im pretty excited. I liked the first episode. Wolverine character was a great adaptation. I was expecting the character to get ruined but hes pretty spot on. Im waiting for the classic cigar XD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GO WOLVERINE!!!! My only problem is overuse of the name Logan. Every five seconds someone says Logan. |
| I just can't seem to get into this show, but I didn't really notice anything wrong with it. The second half of the episode was pretty interesting, but I find it hard to sit through it, I always want to skip through parts. |
| This isn't Wolverine, this is a bad copy of him. At least the action was kind of good. Don't know if I'm going to continue. Next episode will decide that. Wasn't great, but wasn't bad. |
 |
| Better than i expected!! Good fighting scenes, good art, cool characters... |
 |
| wtf....the most badass X-Men owned by a wooden stick? well, the series looks interesting :D looking forward to the next episode |
 |
| Why didn't anyone question the fact that Logan managed to get on a plane?! :O |

The old guy is also the father of And yes the show has that "80's feeling" because its adapting a comic book miniseries relreased in 1982 |

| woah epic episode o_O didnt expect it to be this good :) nice character development there |
| For the haters: Mariko Yashida. Look at the entry, the character and romance involving Wolverine has been an integral part of the character FOR OVER 30 YEARS. There has always been romance in Wolverine stories. Get over it. This is actually one Marvel character that is actually appropriate in a Japanese setting. Moreover, this is the first animation I've seen Wolverine in where people actually bleed and die. Close to 20 years of watching kiddified Wolverine, this is quite refreshing. |

I thought there was something with that girl...In an episode of one of the X-men series there was a brief part with a woman in a kimono as a love interest for Logan but it didn't do anything with that(it was more of a flashback, I think). Do you know if this is the story with that woman or something entirely different. I just came across a huge box of comics, I should check for this. There were at least three or four japanese women in wolverine's life. There was Atsuko who got murdered. Then there was Itsu, with whom he lived for quite some time and had a son, Daken. She was murdered too. Then there was Mariko. The woman in flashback was most likely Itsu. Wolverine had many love interests, main known and important ones being Mariko, Itsu and Jean Grey. |
|
| Another boring marvel adaptation :| |
| I think Iron Man was better than Wolverine though both seem decent enough. What i don't get is what is Marvel trying to accomplish here. Even if the japanese like all of these adaptations, they are a whole different thing. Meh, i don't get it. Hopefully next 2 adaptions will be better. |
     |
| meh. |

| Wonder if we'll see Lady Deathstrike or Silver Samurai. Should be good. |

__Holic said: more or less my quarrel with the show is as follows: nowhere in the multiverse of marvel does this show fit. i dont know who that girl was that's the daughter of the japanese crime lord or whatever... but she doesn't exist in my marvel world. i've never heard of her and these characters were just made up for this one series. Will she exist in your marvel world when you see the next Wolverine movie which will be an adaption of the same mini-series this anime is based on? |

| I didn't have any expectations coming into this, so this series was actually a pleasant surprise. Not going to say it'll be the best anime this season, but it's sure going to be something at least alright and worth watching. |

__Holic said: meh. Sorry Mr Troll, but as pointed out the current storyline has been embedded into canon a good six years before you were born. Get over it. |
|
| At least I made it through the first episode of this....unlike Iron Man..... |
 |
__Holic said: meh. Have you read any old Wolvi comics? Mariko and her father Shingen, and this whole story is all from "your" Marvel Universe. Do the research b4 you talk crap! Way better than Iron Man, I almost didn't even watch it. But, I'm glad I did! The action/fighting is amazing...especially the Kendo match...it's nice to see Wolvi get pwnd once in a while. Not a huge fan of the character design, but I figured they would keep it the same a Iron Man. I'm sure Blade/X-Men will have the same art style as well. That way, they can tie them all in together. I think I'll probably watch this one. Though I"m already watching way too many shows of the season. Urahara Out!! |
 |
| I really didn't get in to this at all... We'll see after episode 2 if I'm gonna continue. |
| Good stuff. I was hoping they would continue (or at least build upon somewhat) Logan's storylines in Japan. It seemed like the logical thing, but you never know. Thankfully, they haven't toned the violence down. |
 |
| Quite impressed with the quality of this ep, the animation, particularly the action sequences, where amazing. Not sure how to feel about Logan looking burnt when he heals. The detailing on his teeth looked too much as well, plus his sideburns are like AN INCH FROM HIS EYE (!?) but yeah, as a Wolverine fan I have high hopes for this. TJax said: Why didn't anyone question the fact that Logan managed to get on a plane?! :O Haha, when I saw him sat on the plane I wondered how the hell he'd gotten through security > 3 > |
     |
| i didnt know it was possible to know wolverine and not know hes from x-men. This forums amazes me. |
| Currently Watching: Durarara!! |
| Mmm it was alright. Have to get used to the art though, and the fact that this Wolverine is not Hugh Jackman. ;-; |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Well done Madhouse...you just ruined my favorite Marvel hero >.> Meh...whats with his personality and he ain't cool and awesome -.-, nor is he strong orrrrrr beastly(voice too) enough, seriously getting beaten by a Yakuza on Kendo?? WTF... |

| I liked this episode. I found the music score, fights, and animation better than episode 1 of Iron Man. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Marvel is giving it another chance at produccing anime. Ironman to me was a train wreck from the start, it felt like they created a story with Tony Stark in it not the other way around but anyways... Wolverine. So far I like what I see, the animation looks nice with a old school touch. Soundtrack is meh and the story is not bad at all. I mean sure tragic love stories are not original but Wolverine from the comic is caught up in it too. |
| well that was an interesting episode Hedeki is a dick god can no one fight fair but it was okay not sure how i feel about the show yet though. |
 |
| So far all I can say is meh, but who else but Takamura could be Wolverine? |
