A while ago the animenewnetwork announced that comics giant Marvel were to be teaming up with anime production company Madhouse to create a Marvel anime based on some of their most popular characters. It was announced that the two would be appearing at the San Diego Comic-con festival that is taking place this week.
Over the years, Marvel have been responsible for much loved characters such as the X-Men, Iron Man, and Spiderman, while Madhouse studios have created mastrerpieces like Trigun, Card Captor Sakura and Final Fantasy 7: Last Order.
Art work that was released prior to the festival looked interesting. The two pieces both showed the Iron Man.
With the festival now all but over, two trailers have been released. The first showing the Wolverine, and the second showing the Iron Man.Wolverine Teaser
Wolverine looks... um... different. I'm not gonna jump on the band wagon and say 'WTF MAN?! WOLVERINE WITH LONG HAIR? WOLVERINE FIGHTING SOME CRAZY AS FUCK DEMON MADE FROM BATS??' because I like to give things a chance. Logan has taken on board a whole new look, and while this is unlike any version of Wolverine we've ever seen before, I have a feeling that this is going to be really interesting.
Iron Man Teaser
Iron Man on the other hand looks crazy good. Nothing short of an amazing trailer. The animation style reminds me of Batman: Gotham Knight, which is no surprise as Madhouse produced both the Killer Croc and Deadshot sections of the mini-series. The villan looking guy with the captain's hat and the eye patch reminds me of Dilandau from Escaflowne.
Personally, from a first glance I think that Iron Man looks slightly better than Wolverine but hell, they both look good. Gonna be keeping an eye on these as the months go on. In any case, it looks far better than the Halo anime.
The first season of the Marvel anime will premier on Japanese TV next spring.
