and I believe that comics legend Warren Ellis is writing the scripts. Fucking sweet!
The Iron Man one looks pretty awesome, the Wolverine one? Not so much. It just looks like a crappy anime with Wolvie's name stamped on it. If it wasn't for the claws that trailer would have had nothing to do with Wolverine.
While it's a bonus that the teaser wasn't actual footage for Wolverine, I hope the Iron Man fight scene makes the final cut.
The Iron Man one looks pretty solid. It's going to be kind of hard to lose a lot of what makes that character work in the West-to-East storytelling style translation. As long as he flies around, shoots rockets and repulser beams, and boozes with women, we're good.
Wolverine... no. It just looks too generic. A lot of the character seems to have been lost. As Aborto said, if it wasn't for the claws, there would be nothing even remotely tied to Wolverine. Do I think it would be impossible for Wolverine to work in an anime? No. In fact, I think it would be very interesting to see an anime retelling of his time in Japan a'la Clairmont/Miller's mini series.
Oh, by the by, don't hold me to it but I heard it was announced at Comicon that the two follow-ups with the same studio are going to be interpretations of X-Men and Blade.
...
Blade could be worth keeping an eye on...
That Wolverine trailer had me WTF'ing my pants off.
Iron Man on the other hand looks mighty mighty epic...yeshhh.
Yeah the Wolverine one looks god awful. Iron Man could be ok.
Sick, sick! Thanks for the news, Mag!
Any news on when in 2010?!
I'm looking forward to the Iron Man one. Rockets, explosions, nothing seems lost in the direction so far, and that makes me happy.
But that Wolverine one...why'd they make him look like a generic pretty boy? Wolverine is supposed to be all scruffy and rugged, not a rip off of Vega from the Street Fighter franchise.
What Yiyou said.
Same here. I'm a big anime fan, but I'm open to new things. I love the Ironman one, and I think that will be something that will really sell this series once it hits dvd.
For a long time, Marvel/DC have been looking for something extra to make money. The recent trend in super hero type OAVs movies have been getting positive press, so these anime are a great way to build up and sell these to a new audience.
Wolverine, I hope the final design look better than that. Wolverine without muscles doesn't seem to appeal as much. And those claws are too clip on ninjalike, that they don't seem to be part of him.
As for X-men anime, I'm hope that will be cool, but the X-Men story has been retold so many times over the years, that I rather them focused on lesser known titles like Ironman etc. Blade could also work well, and yes, I'd buy that on dvd too.
Like what everyone else said. The Wolverine one is trying too hard to be japanese (Red Oni, Blue Oni/Single Stroke Battle are overused in anime alreadly) Iron Man on the other hand looks like they got some blueprints in colour. That's awesome.
The Iron Man one is awesome. And I swore I saw a S.H.I.E.L.D logo on one of the missiles. The Wolverine one on the other hand is looking a little bleh. I could live with a skinny Wolverine if it wasn't for that damn un-wolverine like hair of his. A Blade anime would be great because he's a character that nobody is tired of because he's not used as often. Bleh on the X-men anime though. Unless they get a new line up or come up with an original story, I'm not that interested. Now if they made an Age of Apocalypse X-men anime on the other hand, well my interest would be vastly improved.
Wolverine was taken down, presumably because it was bleh.
Iron Man, however, is still up for the time being.
For Great Justice!!!
wolverine looks extremly lame, however iron man looks amazing, and being that warren ellis is scripting both titles it looks like we are in for a treat.
