Shida Naotoshi is providing key animation for this series. All is forgiven.

Toei is a different studio from Madhouse.

This original post just got cleared a few minutes ago, so I wanted to make sure that people noticed it. The video it links to gets my thumbs-up as being terribly funny.

Oh, why, oh, why!? I'm just waiting for this to turn out to be a grotesque monstrosity that only Thanos could enjoy.

Totally had to think of the Hitchhiker Song when that kid was throwing the thing.

And even then, start throwing out those gaijin white-devil US studio marketing execs who come to your offices saying "Will you animate another Gotham Knight crossover for OUR hero?"
Maybe you can tell them that you've never heard of these characters in your lives...

(I'm sorry, I'm still getting over the Hulk looking like some large green school-delinquent. Shocked )

Somehow, why does this make the Marvel/Madhouse collaborations look better by comparison? It really hasn't shown any actual footage from the anime and just only show how to play the game and suffice to say, I am not impressed by it.

As stupid as this concept is, I wouldn't say no to the ability to summon Robert Downey Jr. Embarassed

Its just Disney/Marvel at its finest. They are trying to overextend the life of franchises that are more than 3-4 decades old. My natural reaction would be for them to "stop and focus on making newer and more innovative comics outside the superhero genre" but knowing Marvel, they'll just milk the same franchises over and over again until they are flat out dry.

Either way, Disney/Marvel are wasting their time. Their previous Marvel Anime tie-ins weren't exactly successful in Japan. And "Heroman", a project commissioned by Stan Lee was a disaster in its DVD sales. I don't think it'll be any different with this. One Piece, Gintama, Pretty Cure, and Pokemon already dominate the TV viewing slots. And if any Japanese are interested in superheroes, they'll just watch the films instead of wasting their time with an anime adaption of their favorite American series.

It's not like they do it because they want to, Marvel pays these companies to make these shows. I think that's kinda why they're not very good. They're commissioned series and basically done just because they're a paycheck, not because the writers or directors love the characters and want to make a story about them.

A bit. But giving them the benefit of the doubt, anime producers are also consummate professionals, so I'd think they give the same effort as when Japanese production committees commission the studio for a paycheck.

That video was a good laugh. I'm obviously going to pass but it can't be as bad as what Disney currently has on television in America.

Here's a link to Big Bad Toy Store's page if anybody wants the toys.

There's no question that Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is--was--one of the best domestic Marvel toons ever made. (Better than the legendary X-Men:TAS? That's to be debated.)
But would any heretical Japanese attempt to anime-interpret the Avengers be worse than the current "Avengers: Assemble"? That's also a good question.

Never got into Mightiest Heroes but from what I watched it was much better than its successor (which debuted shortly after it got cancelled). The Phineas and Ferb crossover was better (much better). The quality of the shows currently airing is the main reason I've been hoping these Japanese projects would be good (and I haven't checked any of them out yet due to their negative reception amongst fans).

I really wish these shows and movies were more since they can be mature like their source material. Who cares about the Japanese? A lot of people on this forum, that's who. Some American needs to go against the grain and pitch a gritty story and character driven cartoon series.

On a note of best animated adaptions of Marvel comics, everyone forgets about Spectacular Spidey...
