After having watched the trailer all over again. I just realized I had to write about these two new titles that are going to be released next year. It apparently is going to be a TV series that’s gonna be out on Animax. So for those who get Animax Channels in their countries, lucky you. But for the rest of us, we’ll just have to find other means to watch these interesting new titles.
If you’ve seen the trailers you’d have realized by now that they’re not the same as the western version. Their origins are much different and of course the stories are WAY off from the original. They had to be adapted to the Japanese culture so they changed it a whole lot. But I think most of the core characteristics of their western versions have been kept alive to at least be “true”. I think. It no longer is Ironman of the western world neither is Wolverine, as you can see, he looks WAY different and would probably be different personality wise. So don’t get your panties in a bunch if you get to see this anime and have a lot of things to say about it and how odd the japanese versions are, because they’re not odd. They’re just not the western kind.
We here from the eastern side of the border have seen many a movie that have been mangled and mutilated by the western world that was originally of this side of the world. So I guess it’s the japanese’s turn to tweak the west’s best into their own. That’s what they’re good at. Making foreign things into their own. Or so they at least say.
For those who hasn’t seen the trailers, my earlier post can be searched by using my search tool found on the upper left or just look for it under the related posts part of this page. =D
Thanks Gab for telling me to write more stuff with my opinion on it. I’ll work on my writing more. =p

Looks like the Nodame Cantabile anime franchise is going down up in a blaze of glory. Despite the fact that the first two seasons have scored mad ratings on Japanese television (during Fuji TV’s popular late-night Noitamina timeslot), the series will not be “milked” for countless seasons and fade into obscurity. Instead, the upcoming third season will mark its grand finale, they say, and it will be aptly titled Nodame Cantabile: Finale.

35 years have passed since the beginning of the once-thriving space saga known as Space Battleship Yamato, or Space Cruiser Yamato, or even Star Blazers, if the original Japanese title Uchuu Senkan Yamato sounds too alien. But out of those many years, the last 26 have gone without any new anime addition to the series – albeit with several failed attempts to revive it.

Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen to air on Japan’s YTV this fall
This year’s 34th issue of Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine will announce next Wednesday that an Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen (Inuyasha Final Chapter) television adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi’s manga has been green-lit. The anime will broadcast on Japan’s YTV this fall and cover the story in volumes 36 to 56 of the manga — the final 21 compiled book volumes. The original staff and cast will reunite for the new anime adaptation.
Shonen Sunday had promised earlier this month that it will be including a special news announcement about Inuyasha in issue #34. Takahashi had ended the Inuyasha manga in the same magazine last June. She has been serializing a new manga called RIN-NE (Kyōkai no Rinne) in the magazine as well as on TheRumicWorld.com website for North America readers since April 22. Viz Media has been releasing the Inuyasha manga in North America, and it has also released the original 2000-2004 television anime adaptation.

Akira Following up on the apparent death reports of the live-action Akira project, executive producer Andrew Lazar confirmed that Warner Bros. has made the adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s epic dystopian saga a priority when speaking to if Magazine during Comic-Con International this past weekend. He also confirmed that the studio was working on a script, but wasn’t aiming for a release before 2011, which makes sense given the prior timeframes that were previously reported were much too accelerated for such a large scale production.

Akira (アキラ?) is a 1988 anime film co-written and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo based on his hit manga. The film is set in a futuristic and post-war city, Neo-Tokyo, in 2019. While most of the character designs and basic settings were adapted from the original 2,182-page manga epic, the restructured plot of the movie differs considerably from the print version, pruning much of the last half of the manga.

I really like what Madhouse is doing with Iron Man and Wolverine! As you can see with that extra touch of anime love Iron Man features some nice mecha and Wolverine wades more into a goth look:
