First Look at ‘Wolverine’ and ‘Iron Man’ Anime



Iron Man anime

It’s been almost a year since it was first reported that Marvel had struck a deal with Japanese anime giant Madhouse to adapt four of its comic series into anime for the Japanese market.

The four series are Wolverine, Iron Man, X-Men, and Blade.

On July 24 at the San Diego Comic-Con Madhouse co-founder Masao Maruyama gave fans a first look at what is being produced.

Teaser trailers to their adaptations of Wolverine and Iron Man were shown.

Reactions were mixed but as a general assessment most hated the anime version of Wolverine and most liked what they saw of Iron Man. It is perhaps fortunate that the adaptations aren’t being made for the western market.

Both teasers are now available online. You can watch them below:

The first of the four new series will premiere on Japan’s Animax premium anime channel in Spring 2010.

    Excited about the iron man one but the wolverine one even though well drawn pays no respect to the wolverine that i know and love in the x men comic series and x men the animated series. Even the wolverine in the newer series like X men evolution and wolverine and the x men give props to the attitude and look of the original. And some of the enemies from the trailer make no sense in the world of wolverine witch leads me to believe that this wont be a good move for Marvel but only time will tell if it will be a great move but for now i have no hopes for this to become a success.
