To Heck with these. It seems to me like they are simply trying to promote their stuff in Japan while mooching a little money.

They were both looked god-awfully lame. Though, I do wonder where I could get the music from the Ironman trailer. That was pretty good.

Whoever is in charge of art for the Wolverine bastardization is now officially on my list.

I like the new Wolverine- he seems somewhat like a mix between Wolverine, a samurai, and Vega from Street Fighter. Its wierd to see that the anime version seems to have a more practical and realistic hairstyle than the live-action movies...

The Iron Man one was awesome. The Wolverine one was interesting. I'll keep my eye on them.

Here's hoping for an anime Spider-Man where he has his spaceship and megazord from the Japanese live action version.

Ok, the Iron Man thing (since I really love pirates, and I love stoic admirals that just stand steady even if just next to the guy - a many barreled rocket barrage is released.

The Wolverine thing is just SAD. Don't make wolverine into a wuss.

Iron Man worked. They love robots, he's a robot, it makes sense. Actually, it's pretty funny, because you have a 'normal' looking Iron Man fighting an obviously anime magic-pirate-robot. The contrast is hilarious.

Wolverine. No. Dear god, no. It has the potential to be interesting, but that teaser did nothing to make me think it will end up so.

Iron Man looks good. It sort of reminded me of the original cartoon series but better animated and minus the space-wizard. At the very least I'd give it a chance.

Wolverine on the other hand looks shit.He gone from being an American, masculine, dark, street-smart X-man to being a gay, stylized ... thing. And what the fuck is with the bad-guy? Is he a mutant or what? This looks like an unnecessary change to the original idea

I... hated them.

I'm not an anime fan, so maybe I wasn't supposed to like them.

The Iron Man had some interesting things, and the character looked really good, but the fighting cinematography in anime is worse then the fighting cinematography in Batman Begins. I couldn't tell wtf was going on in either video.

Why does Logan have such long hair?

Makes me a little sad.. I'll just watch the Wolverine and The X-Men cartoon on Teletoon and just forget that those anime abominations even exist.

Maybe its just because I'm so fucking sick of everything Wolverine related (seriously is four fucking movies about him not enough? Jesus...), but I hope it fails epically. Iron Man however, actually looked vaguely interesting.

Iron man seems possible.
Wolverine looks like a cringe fest.
;_; I weep for the American entertainment industry.

I like the Captain Harlock look alike in the Ironman trailer really.

And, Canonically, Wolverine WAS a 'Samurai' in Japan- Not Feudal japan mind, but about, WW2. Remember he's from the 1800's.

The Ironman trailer is definatly the better, I don't know if they have the action of the series done quite right- Ironman doesn't do air kung fu, he has weapons. More Gundam 089, less G Gundam.

Firstly, I'd like to give a big middle-finger flip to production companies of any type who are so self-important that they feel their logos have to fill half of a two-minute traier. It's irritating, guys. Five seconds is all we really need to know who you are.

Secondly, I'd like to remind folks that (at least to my hazy recollection; I'm hardly an aficionado of comic books) Wolverine, back when he was just Logan, did spend time in Japan. The trailer looks like it's delving into Japanese supernatural mythos a little bit, and pitting Logan against what it offers.

Now, what do I think of them? Well... meh, really. I feel like I've seen both of them before, somewhere; if it weren't for Iron Man's unique design and Wolverine's distinctive claws, these clips could have come from any unremarkable anime movie or OVA in the last ten years. I don't see any reason to get excited about either of these.

They made Wolverine PRETTY. Logan is not PRETTY, ruggedly handsome maybe, not pretty and tall. Wolverine is a squat, violent, old and hairy Canadian not a tall, pretty and androgynous Japanese youth.

Iron Man looks pretty good, lets be honest people, Power Armored Pirates are NO more far fetched than an oriental warlord descended from Ghengis Khan who occasionally summons dragons.

Wolverine is obviously being handled by the same part of MAD house that did Ninja Scroll, it looks almost exactly the same.
