Madhouse to adapt Marvel comic book franchises into Anime

Post by larch »

Marvel Entertainment announced today that Madhouse entertainment will produce four new anime series featuring adapted Marvel characters, including Wolverine and Iron Man, for the Japanese market. Madhouse will adapt the look of the characters to fit the anime style, and the stories. These will also include all of the backstory and history of each character, incorporating Japanese culture and history into them. This just might breath some fresh air into some old franchises, especially after the runaway success of Batman: Gotham Knight. I guess we will just have to wait and see if they can pull it off or screw it up.

Jap anime is almost always more creative and imaginative than cookie-cutter Western comic book fiction.

I'd like to see what they do with this - I'm not expecting to be blown away, but I am hoping for a high enjoyment factor.

is it possible to link to the original please?
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
