Madhouse’s Ironman & Wolverine

Zx · July 28, 2009, 02:36:28 PM

QuoteMarvel 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.

Flame · July 28, 2009, 09:10:20 PM

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.

The Drunken Dishwasher · July 28, 2009, 09:36:06 PM

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

Wan and Tew

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

Protoman Blues · July 28, 2009, 09:37:45 PM

Either way, if this does well, I'll eagerly await Spider-Man.

You can't really change Iron Man's appearance though...

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.

Satoryu · July 28, 2009, 11:12:32 PM

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.

Well, I meant to the extent Wolverine's been changed. I wouldn't know though, I haven't read many of the Iron Man comics.

Rin · July 28, 2009, 11:17:15 PM

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

Protoman Blues · July 28, 2009, 11:18:58 PM

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

Seems he doesn't:

Harruhy · July 28, 2009, 11:46:02 PM

What the [tornado fang].

Acid · July 28, 2009, 11:46:04 PM

The animations look damn fine though. They better not waste their entire budget on the intros.

I'll have a look, might turn out better than expected!

Protodude · July 28, 2009, 11:57:58 PM

Iron Man looks splendid. Wolverine? Meh, not too big on that hairdo.

I didn't refer to appearance. I referred to what the trailer actually depicted. I mean, Wolvie fighting "ghosts"? Puh-leeeeease.

There are bats! Bats should remind you of vampires. Vampires should remind you of...
