Yes, and that damned armor is surprisingly sexy.

It is very sexy. I just hope that the Tony inside it will look just as good in the end.

Well, he's not a head in a jar, so it's a cut above the menga already... unless he's a head in a jar remotely controlling the armour.

Well, let's not forget that the original manga-verse was more of an American version of what manga is like.

Well, this isn't really anime, either. However, I meant the above as a dis against that specific comic, not against menga in general.

No, I know. I'm saying that that's WHY it sucked, and why this might be a tad better, considering that most stuff from MADhouse is awesomesauce.

A head in a jar remotely controlling the armor? Eww... that is a very unpleasant image indeed! I'm not sure I want to ask. ;P

Nominally explained here (link also contains NSFW images), but mostly, yeah, don't ask.

Hmm. Not sure what to think. Worth a rent, at least, though something about the animation bugs me.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the second picture being more accurate. I would probably watch it out of curiosity... but might be put off if things are completely different.

Everytime I see this, that villian makes me think of Captain Harlock and Starblazers...

The villain makes me think of someone... just can't remember who. ;P

Wow, that animation is slick! I'm looking forward to seeing it if only for that. (And who the heck is that green-haired girl?)

Probably Pepper with a fucked up coloring to her hair...adding in a new chick just doesn't make sense and the attire and facial expression are leaning toward Pepper.

*reads further down and takes it back* They probably did have Pepper in mind though. Also I used the wrong icon but fuck it Jess doesn't get used often enough.

This actually looks pretty awesome :D maaan, I haven't watched anime in years, it's so nostalgic...

I... Don't know how to feel about this. I love anime but but. I have mixed feelings for this, I'll save my judgement for when it comes out I suppose. Five buck bet says the green haired chick is Pepper.

Oh, Marvel, can you be more obvious about trying to cash in on the manga/anime money machine? It looks like a pretty good anime, but I'm still trying to figure out who the white haired pretty boy with the foeyay is. (Agreed that the greenhaired girl is Pepper. I suppose Green and Red are at least complementary...)

She's not Pepper. Ellis has gone on record saying this was only a test animation, and nothing's been finalized yet except for the armor design. For now, she's just Generic Girl #12.

Wow, that's... *sigh* That's actually worse than giving Pepper green hair. They could have just colored her hair red and let us assume. :(

On the other hand, perhaps The White-haired Pretty Boy will be more explicable

Before Ellis shot all theories out of the water, I was betting on him being Titanium Man.

I don't know who the white haired bishounen is (Tiberius Stone?) but he looks almost exactly like Dilandau from Escaflowne. Which only heightens the foyay aspect.

It's miles above what the Wolverine one is shaping up to be (not that that's saying much).

And I want to lick that armor. +_+ So shiny.

The Wolverine preview is one of the funniest three minutes of animation I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I don't think they meant it to be.

Somehow, they managed to cram practically every single conceivable anime cliche you can think of that's horribly inappropriate for Logan into it, including making him a long-haired bishounen. And the sad thing is, Logan would actually translate into manga/anime very well without any mucking around at all. Just not that kind of manga/anime.

Actually, there is a Wolverine manga that's not too bad.
You want anime cliches, check out the X-Men: Misfits manga. I used to carry it around school to horrify my male friends.

I know, you could pretty much just slot Logan into Lone Wolf and Cub and have done with it.

But he's *not* a bishie. I guess someone looked at the films and assumed he was supposed to be good-looking, but... No. Just no.

Well...at least anime has a lot of experience with giant robots...;) The animation looks awesome! I'm not so psyched about the bishie villain.

Well... no matter what, at least it's MADhouse. Even if the adaption itself is shit for beans, it'll be crazyfun to watch. :)

*claps* Very true...I'm cool with my brain melting over the plot so long as I get shiny explosions and more kickass armour shots.

This isn't actually Iron Man, right? This is SuperAction Red/Gold CrazyFunTimesMan! Because, I just, um, what did I just watch? /befuddled

I loved the crazy random sexy anime mecha-pirate though.

I'll go into watching this as I would dive into an AU-- not expecting, you know, canon-ness, but expecting perhaps some fun. At any rate, it's super slick test animation (and here's hoping the end product swaps out green-haired girl for for-reals!Pepper).

WHPB- Crimson Dynamo? Power armor minus Titanium Man plus outfit super reminiscent of, say, a Russian Naval uniform makes me think... maybe? Who knows with this 'verse. But it'll be pretty.

Also-- Oh, anime armor... you so bootylicious. *licks armor*

It looks like it would definitely be worth watching for the animation, especially the scenes with the Iron Man armor. If Tony looks like a random bishounen, I might have a difficult time blocking that out of my mind later. >_<

I hope that Pepper turns out to be a redhead in the end too! ;D

Well as an anime fan in general, I have to say that the art and animation are simply gorgeous. Even if it turns out to be horrible, it will still get points in my book for that at least. Also, I really liked how none of animation seemed to be CG, and if there was any than it was at least blended well with the actual artwork.

The thing that kind of threw me for a loop though was surprisingly not the girl, but the pirate villian. I'm kind of hoping that, like the girl, the pretty man with the white hair is just random villian #54.

I'm also really hoping that Tony actually looks like Tony in the final product, but for that I guess we'll have to wait and see...

I love anime and manga too but I also love Marvel. I'm hoping that they stick to the original character designs and just stylize it in an anime-type of way. The art does look wonderful so I'm very curious to see the end result.

Well, I guess that we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed on Tony, Pepper, and the pirate ;P

Yatta!

Iron Man animé will be awesome...as long as he has a goatee. Maybe they can steal his design from FF: World's Greatest Heroes.

I wonder if he will have a Sailor Moon-esque transformation sequence when he puts on the armor.

(Maybe the green haired lady is Madame Hydra!)

I'm really hoping that Tony will have the goatee and look like Tony in the anime.

A Sailor Moon-esque transformation would be awesome! Complete with the complete lack of clothing and gratuitous butt shot. ^_~

If he looks like Tony from Armored Adventures, I'll cut a bitch.

*ahem* I mean, I'll write a nice letter of complaint.

Butt shots and crazy acrobatics! (Also, there is something really hot about that icon of yours)

I found Armored Adventures on Youtube and got sooo excited! Until I'd been watching for a few minutes and started to wonder 'Where's Tony?' When I found out that I'd been looking at Tony for those few minutes, I think that I traumatized myself for life. :D

If Tony looks terrible or unrecognizable in this new series, you can add my complaint to your letter. ^_~

My icon is the result of some major tampering (cutting/pasting/editing) They look better like that. ;P
