Marvel and Madhouse just announced and released 2 teasers for a 4 part series of anime movies featuring Marvel superheroes. The first two teasers are for Ironman and Wolverine.

The films are supposed to redesign “popular Super Heroes redesigned and repurposed as emerging from the fabric of Japanese culture” and from the teasers you’ll know they are serious about this.  The project is slated for spring 2010

The Wolverine one is complete bullshit and I refuse to accept it.
Ironman one is awesome, therefore I will be awaiting it.

You call that bullshit? At least that's not the X-men shojo manga >_>
I agree about Ironman though.

The Wolverine one looks way too over the top to feel believable within the universe. The Iron Man one sticks much more to the original backdrop and is therefore much more acceptable.

That wolvrerine looks just too strange... I much prefer the Wolverine manga that came out a while ago. At least he looked more like he normally would.
that ironman looks like all kinds of awesome though.

However, Ill give Wolvie the benefit of the doubt, and give him a try too.

I'll be eagerly looking forward to both.  I've always wanted to see American comics done with Anime, albeit with a similar storyline, but either way, it looks promising to me.  Hell, can't be worse than Marvel's regular animated movies.

aside from the two X-men anime openings they did themselves~

Wan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWTad94mre8) and Tew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El0H26Gxak0)

anyways, these two piqued my interest, i'll definitely watch them

Sure you can.  It's been done in the Iron Man comics for decades.

But that one was about Kitty [tornado fang]ing Pryde. Not the GODDAMN SNIKT-BUB!

Altough, it seems they said something about this being the test footage or some [parasitic bomb]. We just have to wait and see.

yeah, Wolverine looks different. which means i'm not going to expect anything directly related to Wolverine. it seems with the style it's going, it's going to be a loose adaptation. i'm curious.

Iron Man, though, i am very excited about.

One thing about Ironman must stay in this anime.
First, he needs to have facial hair.
Second, he needs to be an alcoholic.

Iron Man looks totally different from the comics too, in terms of what he's fighting.  However, his armor is strictly from the movies.

There's also the possibility that this Wolverine is based on that Yoshitaka Amano graphic novel he did.

or well, they're just basing it on one of the feudal-ish-japanese setting Wolverine has been in...

One thing's for sure: any X-Men-related series that has Rogue, they'll butcher her character. Nothing I've seen has done it worse than the movies, though. Rogue in the old cartoon from the 90's kicked ass, though.

Let's add the fact that you-know-who with the red shades often gets left out (meaning, he has little use and mostly focuses on Wolverine) until the rouge lovey-dovey arc comes along.. and from what I remember, he was there to get the ladies in the seats in the X-Men series of movies.

REVIVAL TIME

Quote
The first episode of MADHOUSE's Iron Man anime series will have its world premiere at Comic-Con International, which will run in San Diego from July 22 to July 25. The Animax anime television channel has also announced that the anime will then hold its television premiere on Animax in Japan on Friday, October 1 at 10:00 p.m. Marvel Entertainment had previously stated that the 12-episode series would premiere during the second quarter (April-June) of the year. Marvel Anime: Iron Man and Marvel Anime: Wolverine  were slated to air in the United States next year.

Marvel Entertainment had revealed in August of 2008 that it was working with MADHOUSE on four series with Marvel's stable of comic book characters. (The other two projects will center on Blade and X-Men.) Masao Maruyama, the co-founder of MADHOUSE, offered a video preview of its Iron Man and Wolverine work at Comic-Con International last July.

The wolverine one... really doesn't look like wolverine at all.  >0< It just looks like they made a new anime series and decided to give the main character retractable claws in his skin. I'd call it: Izumo: Phantom Ghost Hunter.

Nevertheless, I won't count it out due to it's strangeness. It has a strong anime flavor.

As for Ironman, all I can say is "Spectacular, Spectacular, Spectacular!" Hopefully, it'll be worth the hype I feel from the teaser.

OKAY, apparently from what my friend tells me, the MadHouse Iron Man series is similar to Batman: Gotham Knight, in that it has different art/stories/directors & such for each episode. I really hope that's the case.

Also, if thats the case, then I take it It will go between Iron man 2 and upcoming 3.
that trailer DID have warmachine after all...

...oh God dammit... seriously, I'm getting tired of these compilations. Yes, each individual episode of Animatrix, Gotham Knight or anime Halo is impressive, but they're not connected in any way, and it's annoying to just go buy some DVD for an unconnected pile of features you watch for awhile and then never touch again. Why can't we have an ACTUAL show?

They'd just have to give it to Madhouse and give them a story like Extremis to adapt. Plus, Iron Man shows actually have a history of being generally good.

Only the opening of the 2nd season is good. That's all.

HOWEVER, the 2nd season of the Fantastic Four cartoon on before/after it was actually very good.

Hell yeah. And I watched it a looooong time ago, so memories may be fuzzy. Heck, I was one of the people who liked the 90's Spider-Man animated series.

Lots of people like 90's Spidey.  I thought it was decent for what it was, but I wasn't the hugest fan.  The weird placement of awful computer graphics bothered me, some of the stories after the 1st season were pretty bad, and I thought just progressively got worse, and the constant re-use of animation just got somewhat annoying to me.

I remember loving the 2nd season of Iron Man. Plus come on. Stark Mullet. Nothing beats that.

Was the 90's Spidey show the one that was on Fox?

I remember the Fantastic four too. not as much, but I remember it.

I thought both seasons of Iron Man were awful.  The only reason the 2nd season might be better is cause the 1st season is just that bad.

Yes, that was the one on Fox.

The 1st season was terrible. The 2nd was actually very good.

Post by: Bueno Excelente on July 27, 2010, 04:07:04 PM
I read separate and vague plot arcs of the comic in the 90's, so the Spidey cartoon was pretty much my one link to the story. When I began to get into the actual comics, and saw all the stuff that was different (lotsa Goblins, Madam Web not being very important to the plot, Peter's life being way shittier) I was surprised. I still remember that it had a very extensive story. A multidimensional war, Venom and Carnage's story, MJ and Pete getting married for him to find out she was a clone of a water dude... I just remember the plot being pretty detailed for the time, and there was some general continuity, instead of stuff just being in single arcs.

The story was connected well enough, as well as tied into some of the comics well.  I just didn't like the way the cartoon wrote them.

I remember when I was lil'kid. The episode where Spidey had mutation problems, and turned into a giant Spider.
Seeing as I was [tornado fang]ing afraid of spaidurz back then (in fact, I still am) I got scared shitless.
Not so much however, as during that one episode of Batman TAS where there was Robo Batman with HARDAC's Seal of Approval.
Oh God... that episode scared me so much.
Gotta go and watch it again. : P
