February 24, 2011 : Madhouse’s Take on X-Men
Madhouse Studios just released the teaser trailer for its anime version of X-Men, and it looks pretty sweet.
Madhouse has churned out pretty solid products in the past (Death Note, Trigun, and Ninja Scroll to name a few), so I think this will be pretty cool to watch. The series is supposed to be 12 episodes long and set to premiere April 4th in Japan.
This is the third of four Marvel franchises Madhouse is turning into anime (each of which are 12 episodes long). Iron Man aired last year, and Wolverine is currently airing. The fourth part is Blade. G4 has bought the rights to air all four series in the U.S., with Iron Man set to air this year. Out of these four, I am definitely most excited about the X-Men adaptation.

January 26, 2009 : Samurai Man Or Iron Jack?
I finally got around to watching Iron Man. I was never huge into the comics - but either way, it was pretty impressive. There was also a lot of cool DVD features and behind the scenes info.
The cool thing I just found out is that Genndy Tartakovsky will be working on the storyboarding for Iron Man 2. Director Jon Favreau apparently is a fan of Genndy’s work. I’m not sure, but I think he said that Genndy is, “So money, and he doesn’t even know it.”
