The New York Times is reporting that Marvel Entertainment is teaming up with renowned Japanese animation studio Madhouse to develop four anime series that will re-vision several of Marvel's iconic superheroes for the Japanese market (free registration required). The characters and back stories will be revamped to "reflect Japanese culture," and "create an entire parallel universe for Marvel," according to Marvel International president Simon Philips. The only superhero named in the article is Iron Man.

#4 | | How disgustingly sweet... Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 4,365 Location: N.Y......WOOT! Collection Count: around 30 for now, all classics and classic like figures News Credits: 1 | I think it could work if they do it Marvel Mangaverse style (Spidey being the last of a ninja clan, Hulk being basically the equivalent of Godzilla, Tigra looking like an anime cat-girl, etc...)

Pick a 12-26 issue arc or larger of a specific comic. Say Ultimate Spiderman, or Ultimates, or even The Busiek/Perez Avengers. Then Animate it word for word. That's what most anime's are literal translations of the manga

#8 | | Bong Jalopy Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 3,823 Location: The Lost City of Atlanta Collection Count: 500+ | I'd be interested in seeing DC do something like this, just to see the new interpretation of their characters (or a word-for-word animated adaptation of Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come or Watchmen). Marvel...I haven't read a Marvel comic in years and none of the stuff they're doing really excites me; I'm just not interested in their characters enough to bother watching an anime version. Quote:

Gotham Knight was good but as one-time thing. I think we should focus on making good American superhero shows instead of anime-like ones. | |
