| I do not hold much knowledge about Marvel comics. I mainly got an overview of them through morning cartoons. The Ironman trailer is awesome. I don't know the story of Ironmaiden (it was never a popular hero here) or the characters, but based off animation only that is totally amazing. Wolverine... Well, back in my time he was a hairy beast in a yellow lycra uniform. And I loved him. Now he's a pretty boy. Which means that I can totally accept this new design. The animation is gorgeous as well. If X-Men is as good as this... Omg. I've always loved it. With redone designs it can only be win. Conclusion: looking forward |

| Iron Man looks okay, let's see what they will do with it, Wolverine just looks like a major a plane crash, they took away his manliness, most uncool, but I'll judge it after I see both. I hope they don't drag deadpool into this... An anime version of him would be something like Bo^7 or Excel saga, although I'm a fan of both series, I just want Deadpool to be like the comics, what they did in the movie was punishment enough. |

| Every time you make a typo, somebody in Zeta gets slapped. |
| Iron Man= Awesome Wolverine didn't even look like wolverine. |
| I think the anime looks promising. I'll give it a go instead of judging it like some people are. |
| I see that Iron Man has his own page here to add for "Plan to Watch", but Blade, X-Men, and Wolverine don't seem to. Or am I missing that? Anyone care to add them in? |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Well ain't this interesting... Hollywood goes on an anime-into-live-action-movie making spree, and the Japanese turning a bunch of American comic books/cartoons into anime. The two countries are really mixing media styles now more than ever aren't they? Whats next? A Ninja Turtles anime?...er, wait, thats already been done... As for this new project between Marvel/Mad House. I've never could get into American comic books, as far as I got was watching some of the films based on them (which I'll admit, I enjoyed watching them). I've always been a big fan of Mad House, and I think they have made some terrific manga-to-anime adaptations in the past. Plus, the action scenes in the previews look awsome (as expected from MH, you can at least count on them for great action scenes). Who knows, if these anime versions do well and if they end up getting alot of good reviews, I might give them a try. |
 |
| I think they both look promising. I can find room to accept a long-haired wolverine. However, It does make we wonder, is this going to be voiced in japanese? I'm assuming so, right? If it was in english i don't think i would watch : / |

| Well, Marvel has been created in every other way, why not anime? |
| I'm guessing these Marvel/Madhouse anime will be done in Japanese first for the Japanese audience and then dubbed in English for a NA release. Unless they release them in both languages simultaneously. That doesn't happen too often though. Also, judging from the content they appear to be tailored to a Japanese audience. Marvel might be trying to break into the Japanese market maybe? At least it looks like the characters are closer to the original concepts than the Japanese live action Spider-Man series by Toei was to the original Marvel concept. Very Japanese. Very weird. Apparently the first tokusatsu series to include monsters that change size and in which you then fought in your summoned mecha which influenced later series like the Power Rangers and such. Seeing Spider-Man pilot a mecha is very surreal. |

Unless they release them in both languages simultaneously. That doesn't happen too often though. Also, judging from the content they appear to be tailored to a Japanese audience. Marvel might be trying to break into the Japanese market maybe? For some reason its always funny to see people come to a conclusion that's already been stated clearly in a report somewhere. In hopes of being a little informative... 1.) For those who aren't aware, yes: They're trying to adapt Marvel properties SPECIFICALLY to appeal to Japanese audiences. Its a stated goal, so don't be shocked if things are set in Japan, and we don't have "Tony Stark" or "Logan" or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if both became wholly Japanese characters, not just English superheroes who're adventuring in Japan for a few episodes. Think, "Witchblade". 2.) What's in the trailers has NOTHING to do with the actual plot. Granted, if you're pissed about the look well...I'm sorry. That's what we're expecting both series to look like, yes. 3.) Wolverine actually has a lot of stories involving him in Japan. Before they went overkill in the 90's with the berserker nonsense (getting rid of his nose and all that), Wolverine spent quite a bit of time in Japan, fighting ninja and being a samurai. So its not the departure you think it is. 4.) Series will be in Japanese, no word on if it will come over here at all. All the series will be written by Warren Ellis, creator of Transmet and Planetary for those who read comics, and writer of the G.I. Resolute series for those who don't. What I DON'T know, however is if its still the plan to have X-Men and Blade launch Spring 2010. ...Why Blade? A black vampire hunter in Japan will look SO cool, right? Bah. They should've done a shonen-like Avengers... |

I wouldn't be surprised if both became wholly Japanese characters, not just English superheroes who're adventuring in Japan for a few episodes. Think, "Witchblade". Actually no. We do know that Iron man is who he is, minus the facial hair. We do know that Wolverine is Logan and that its going to be an adaptation of canon-true part about his stay in japan. The times of Japanese audience and only-japanese characters have long since passed away. SageShinigami said: 2.) What's in the trailers has NOTHING to do with the actual plot. Granted, if you're pissed about the look well...I'm sorry. That's what we're expecting both series to look like, yes. Correct. As stated by quite a few people previously - the trailers are just random animation tests. Designs might be accurate, but everything else in trailers....stays in trailers... SageShinigami said: 3.)

Considering it was announced in comiccon, I am betting for a simultaneous release in both USA and Japan. SageShinigami said: ...Why Blade? A black vampire hunter in Japan will look SO cool, right? Bah. They should've done a shonen-like Avengers... because blade is coold series and it lacked a really good adaptation... |

In fact, I'd be really surprised if the Wolverine anime didn't focus on his time in Japan. It's such a prominent part of his character and has been heavily explored is his recent comics. As for Blade, the Japanese must have a fascination with him considering the "Raven" character from the Tekken series. |
| I need to watch this Iron Man like I need another Mountain Dew...and that's saying something! |
 |
| Sigh, there are better things to make into anime, Japan. I suppose X-MEN isn't so bad, though. Srsly though, one of the whole reasons I love manga so much on average more than American comics, is the lack of Hypermusiclar superheroes, in spandex outfits. There are loads more interesting American comics to mess with than Superhero tripe. X-Men isn't too great, and Blade is even more lame. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| When asked what Marvel character would be awesome in an anime I would always respond "Blade". Hopefully Madhouse will be able to work their magic with him. I've never been interested in any vampire anime though. Blood... no thanks. Hellsing... was never really interested. Hoping Blade will be different from them. |

| Why does everyone have such a prob with the look of the anime Wolvi? It should be different, if it wasn't, it'd just be a re-hashed US toon. Ya'll are idiots, it looks awesome, and shinkeikaku said: If you know anything about wolverine, he lived in Japan for a while, had a Japanese wife, and they had a son...Daken. He trained under Chinese/Japanese masters, etc. etc. I think the choices for shows, looks, designs, etc. are perfect, just can't wait for the Blade/X-Men trailers!! Stop being so narrow minded about it, and don't watch it with preconceptions of what you think it should be. I mean come on, this is anime we're talking about here people, not Cartoons. I can't wait!!! Quit jumping on the bandwagon, and start thinking for yourselves!!! And this is coming from a Huge Marvel Comics/toons fan!! Urahara Out!!And why is he in Japan fighting |

ukonkivi said: Srsly though, one of the whole reasons I love manga so much on average more than American comics, is the lack of Hypermusiclar superheroes, in spandex outfits. Have you been to a comic store in the last couple of years? There are more non "Costume" books, than there are!! I read a ton of US comics(like atleast 15-20 a week), and 6 of them are "Costume" books. Check out DC's mature imprint Vertigo, I don't even think they have a superhero book in there whole line of like 30 comics. Same as a lot of other companies. Go do some research on comics before you run your mouth people, and I'm not just talking to you ukonkivi, I'm talking to all these bandwagoners hating on these adaptations. Sorry to rant, but I'm a big believe in International adaptations, and think the significant changes to the designs is wonderful!! Urahara Out!! |

Screw them for getting my hopes up for a minute. :-p its meant for Japanese audiences, so they set in Japan. the same way "The Magnificent Seven" was originally an Asian film and got remade as an American one. First of all i agree that Wolverine looks interesting because it is different and there is a part of Wolverine's life that takes place in Japan. I mean read the comics. please. Not only is it for anime audiences but it is actually part of the story in Japan. The next wolverine movie takes place in Japan. |

There's no point in remaking a series if you can't stick to the original material. Sure the new fans may like it but it just ruins it for the old fans. This shouldn't even be called X-men anymore. |
 |
| So, where is my Spider man? |
| ohhhh...... not really interested. |
| Iron man- Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it. Wolverine- What the fuck was that? Animation is alright but that didn't look like Wolverine at all. They should have just stick with Iron man, because this is just embarrassing. |
| x-men and blade huh looking forward to it |
| I AM IRONMAN! |
| The sands of hell are magic sands. |
| wait was that captain harlock in the anime trailer? :D |
Ugh, no thanks. As far as I'm concerned, there's no need to do anything BUT superheroes from American comics. Everything else manga already does, and does WAY better than most American comics. hahahahahhahahahhahahahno. |

I'd be insulted but.... Your grammar is shit, you've got the typing skills of a twelve year old, and you crafted absolutely nothing in the way of an intelligent insult. Typing a string of swear words doesn't constitute a diss, and it really makes you look bad when you do all this but claim to have the ultimate in anime tastes. Think about that next time you're watching your "innovative" anime like NGE, and next time try to know what the fuck you're talking about instead of just parroting whatever you hear the "cool anime kids" say. (Although you know what..."japan jerk off faggot" is fucking hysterical. In a, "...Damn, I can't believe this guy is really smart enough to turn on a computer" sort of way, but, funny nonetheless.) Edit: Thank you though. I didn't realize I'd rated Naruto so high. Should be a 7, not a 8. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| but my taste is ultimate. k-on is the best anime ever made. |
| Iron man looks good. Cant wait to see it. |
| Is Wolverine not apart of the X-Men anymore? Or am I understanding this wrong? I mean I love the guy but good god. I'm get sick of them putting him on this pedestal when there are plenty of other mutants as great, if not greater than him. I wouldn't nearly mind so much if some of my other favorite guys got a chance in the spotlight (a decent Nightcrawler that appears for more than five seconds would make me a happy fangirl)(maybe ten seconds next time). And I'm going to get flamed by the Wolverine fans. It's OK people. I love him too, but if you saw that trailer you could see why I'm not peeing my pants from joy. |
| O mai.... Is Wolverine in the Yakuza now~? |

| The Iron Man trailer was average . But Wolverine was really pathetic . yet . i almost died laughing xD . |
| kinda wondering if warren ellis realises how badly madhouse have butchered his scripts? also has any subgroup said they plan to sub iron man yet? or are they all avoiding it so as not to piss G4 or marvel comics off? |
| i would love to see a bones-marvel tie up... iron man is already on my PLAN TO WATCH list... |

| Iron Man is actually OK.. first episode was good. |
| cool |
| TIME TO LIVE FOREVER BABY! http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19549 Please join if you love Asian Cinema :) |
| Sweet News.....X-men anime Dub that will air on G4 will have Steven Blum voicing Wolverine....definitely can't wait, especially since X-men and Blade were the two good ones. |
