Marvel Anime

But yea I agree. It MIGHT be interesting but I really dislike the way they made him.

Yeah...James is not gay...

Nor is he a pretty boy. Didn't he run around in Canada for a long time...buck naked, right after getting his adamantium skeleton? That's not something a "pretty boy" would do.

Yup. Could be interesting...but it just looks like they turned wolverine into a ninja from something like Ninja Scroll or Basilisk.

yeah, and his claws were like spinal taps instead of long (no homo) steak knives.

Also dislike how they put the claws between the fingers. Course I hated that in the movies, and how they became like that in the comics after the movies came out.

I think I missed something but where is everyone seeing this trailer of an anime-Wolverine. I didn't even know that was possible; Japan can't do anything with that! I really didn't like the anime Batman much but an anime Wolverine just doesn't seem right. Maybe if it were Spider-man it would work.

So, where can I see the trailer? It would help if someone could give me something to go on.

Umm...I thought I asked for the Wolverine anime trailer.(sarcasm) What the *beep* was that?! What did they do! That's not Wolverine, that Kenshin with a modern attire an knives sticking out of his hands. If they had put another name to it, then it would have been cool. However calling that guy Wolverine is like calling Sephiroth Vaan.

If there's a point trying to be made, then I think I get it.

im saying that American comic series tend to get so caught up with fan service that it limits the quality of plot progression, which doesnt happen in manga; i did not say that manga doesnt have fan service period. of course there is fan service but when was the last time nearly every guy in a manga series was completely toned with a six pack and had great genetics and was generally very handsome? or every girl had big breasts and wears a tight leather outfit? when was the last time you read a manga that after twenty years none of its characters ever died or got old? when was the last time you read a manga where the author had character A kill character B, only to have character B come back next year with some hoaky time travel/dimensional rift/heave hell scheme?

im sure you can think of plenty of examples for all the questions i asked, but they will always be exceptions to the rule not the rule. the reason for this is is because these type of story faults are not commonplace in manga, but it is common in american comic book series. a manga is like making a movie: a movie has a beginning, and an end, and so the characters and story has to be written in a way that accepts the fact that it will end eventually. american comic book series' are written like a sitcom: the characters are written so that they can always come back and there can always be another adventure if the characters gets popular enough or he/she is needed for another story arc. as such the character doesnt change.

look at superman. 50 years from now where will batman be? he'll still be in his mid/late thirties or however old he is, still trying to cleanse gotham of crime. the joker will still be around screwing with him. same with superman, and the JLA. 50 years from now there will still be a bunch of idiot criminals that think that superman who can move faster than light will be unable to deal with their machine guns and catch their get-a-way cars. even after a hundred years of comic book events and stories superman will still be a boy scout who rarely ever kills and batman will still think its against his morals to kill even though the people he leaves alive end up killing innocent people anyway. there will be no character development.

do you know why that is? fan service. because 50 years from now if comics are still popular, teenagers and young men will pay money to see a man in his mid-thirties with a six pack kick ass, even if hes been doing it for the last hundred years. theyre only 20 years old they dont care that that batman should have died of old age by now; and they dont care that after seeing joker kill thousands of people batman should have ****ing killed him by now. they dont want to see the heroes hang up their capes and say that theyve finally achieved their goal. so marvel and dc wont show it to them unless its in the form of a "what if" or something.

manga is the opposite. 50 years from now naruto and bleach will be over. either naruto will have achieved his goal of becoming hokage and bringing sasuke back to the light, or he will have failed. the end. 50 years from now Aizen will either be dead or he will have won. the end. that is what is called storyline progression. if a character dies at the end of a manga then he is simply dead. if a character becomes ultra powerful and no one in the manga can beat him then that is simply what is. in american comics if a character gets to powerful that no one can possibly challenge him they have a crisis that retcons 50 years of comic book history...

now maybe you prefer marvel and dc's method of saying that X event will "CHANGE EVERYTHING", without it actually changing anything because ten years down the road it'll be like the event never happened. personally i prefer linear storylines that have a beggining and an end.

Oh that sort of fan service that your talking about i was thinking of the sexual type that you find in Anime.

Have you tried reading up on whats happen to that character that your interested in?

Anywho, stop the whining, you American Comic book fans. They'll probably be better as animes, anyway.

Go to the Marvel and DC sites

and also some of the older issues with current and old series can get them in Trade Paper backs.

facepalm This Wolverine anime has reminded me why the character itself has been dead to me for awhile now, not that I was a big fan of his to begin with.

Shut up and go read the new Wolverine: Weapon X comic.

There's a new one now? All right, but that anime there doesn't do him any justice, I'm sure we both know that.

I wasn't whinin'. Just statin' an opinion, "Anime is not good enough to take up American icons and not ruin them". But I guess I'm in the wrong forum to disagree, huh?

Yup. Now STFU and GTFO, newb. 😆

JK, JK.

Trust me: I have thousands upon thousands of pages of manga to read before I catch up to how many pages of American Comics I've read.

It's not like I think American Comics suck: not at all. I just think the CARTOON versions will be better than the American one.

We have to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

Comparing American Comics to a Japanese Anime is apples to oranges: compare American Comic Book Cartoons to Japanese Anime.

Why would anyone try to compare anime to American cartoons. Anime in both drawing style and lack of censorship beats American comic cartoons to the ground.

Japanese anime are also closely related to their manga series. Comic cartoons have to be dumbed down to the point where its barely enjoyable at all and is inconsistant as a result.

😄 Try watching Samurai Deeper Kyo and then read the manga. Or watch Real Bout High School and then read the manga. Marmalade Boy does the same thing. There are probably a lot more also that the manga and anime are completely different. Or like Flame of Recca the end of the anime is like only halfway through the manga.

if it is good i may buy

Oh rly??

X-men 90's it used alot of the storylines Chris Claremont did for X-men

only one to my knowledge that was dumbed down was the Spider-Man 90's they did'nt want no violence at all.
