I hope this won't be like the terror of Marvel Mangaverse (I can't even read let alone look at it)
You already did, it was a disaster of epic proportions.A big red rooster said:
OT: The Iron Man one looked promising, but I was less impressed with the Wolverine one. He didn't have the right attitude.
Huh. Not sure what to think, really - and I'm a longtime anime fan.
Admittedly, the Iron Man clip looks pretty wicked - though it looks like they got Captain Harlock to play the heavy. It's weird - they've got the really slick looking movie-based Iron Man armor, but the villain and the girl (Pepper, I presume?) look rather retro by comparison. It's creating a weird kind of imbalance for me, aesthetically speaking.
Wolverine is a bit disappointing for me. They could've taken his chara design in so many more interesting and more character-appropriate directions and instead chose to go with a bland pretty-boy incarnation, instead. Maybe something scruffier, more along the lines of Jubei from Ninja Scroll would've been more appropriate. Sorry to be so narrow minded, but it ain't Wolvie without the muttonchops.

It's not narrow-minded at all. I actually agree completely. My main problem is also that he isn't, well, scruffy enough.Jetbaby said:
And yes, Jubei from Ninja Scroll is a good analogy, however, maybe even a little scruffier than that.
The Ironman looked nice until the pirate showed up then I was alttle confused...
With Wolverine they had a lot of material to use that came straight from the comics and it seems they just skipped over it. You know what would have been really cool? Daken. He's from Japan and it would make for a great drama.
