It was matter of time



After the success of the Iron Man anime (which is actually pretty good and kinda fits in the movie continuity if you ignore the classic gigant japanese monsters) it was matter of time that Marvel and MadHouse bring into the fold the property that actually would make more sense as anime as it ever did in comics: The X-Men.

Think about it: outcast misfits with impossible powers taking an ememy that is actually them and the rest of the world hates them, making them all mopey. You have romance, comedy, drama, big explosions, teenage lolitas, death and resurrection, death equals redemption. And if you think about it the core X-Men are a nakama by their own right (the stoic leader, the gruff hero*, the brick hosue, the waif... hell X-Men is a textbook case in tropes). And the anime brains tried their hand at the core concept when they created stuff like Psychic Force (to no avail).

Really the question is not if it will be good, but why it took Marvel so long to do it.

*Which makes me ask what happened to the ghostly samurai drama that was going to be the Wolverine anime. Did it got dropped for this? It would make sense. Dunno if miss it really.

Segúnm sé, los animes coproducidos van a ser cuatro: Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men y Blade.

Esta genial el teaser y los diseños de personaje, Scott y Ororo en particular. Espero que salga pronto, aunque aún tengo que ver Iron Man.
