Anime definitely helped keep my interest in animation. I loved that it tended to to be violent and darker than the safe family friendly western cartoons at the time. Plus I love the serialized nature of the storytelling. Something we didn’t get a lot in the west on television, especially western animation.
Speaking of anime, has anyone ever watched the anime versions of Marvel characters before?
Especially the X-Men.
Damn. Even if you don’t like anime you have to give it to the Japanese. They sure know how to make things look good.
I watched all Marvel anime series. hehe
My favorite is Iron Man (mostly because the main writer of the show is Inoue Toshiki, who famously known as the main writer of many Heisei Kamen Rider series, notably Agito, Kiva, and Faiz... it is interesting to see Inoue-sensei jumping from writing Japan's most popular superhero in Kamen Rider into writing the show about America's most popular superhero in Iron Man. Though sometimes he wrote too political in the show, but I always fan of his writing.)
And the late Fujiwara Kenji (the seiyuu/voice actor of Tony Stark in the MCU) is still the voice of Tony Stark in that anime series. FYI, he was one of the famous seiyuu/voice actor in Japan, he also voiced Joker in TDK Jpn dubbed. I am always a big fan of his voice. Hehe.
Oh, I even watched Marvel Future Avengers. (Though only season 1 and that show seemed to be more focused on children, haha).
Hopefully Marvel and Madhouse can colaborate in the future to make Thor anime series. (Just like MCU, with the seiyuu/voice actors of Miyake Kenta and Hirakawa Daisuke as Thor and Loki). thats my dream project.
