THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It was a good episode to begin with and the battle scenes were quite enjoyable to watch. There were quite a few similarities with HoTD in terms of overall style, like the background, but the CGs made a big difference there. :)

I find myself somewhat disgusted with this, probably mostly because I'm used to the Hollywood rendition of Iron Man (not to mention Robert Downey Jr's superb acting). IMO this is just a cookie cutter for the other upcoming Marvell adaptations.

Tony Stark looks like a Jerk?! No Way! It's not as if they're this is an adaptation of an arrogant, alcoholic arms dealer who has a history of treating his friends poorly.

Oh um wait. Well shit.

Pretty boring... The pacing was way too fast, and the story was meh. The animation wasn't bad though. Starting it off at 4/10.

Altough I agree that it doesn't feel like Ironman, and Tony looks weird. Kinda evil, too.

I find myself somewhat disliking his VA. I think they could have chosen a better one. Not bad but not great. I'm giving it a 6/10 which is watchable but dropable as well for the first episode.

This show is very meh.

Also, giant noses.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence...”

+1 and the womanizer characteristic does not suit the ugly shit in this show.

Didn't like anything of the show. The character designs are plain horrifying. OST is not appreciable. Alien vs.PredatorIron Man fight was not cool. Setsuna/Lockon should fly the Dio instead.

Meh, it was okay. I think it's entertaining enough to get away with. But it doesn't compare to the Hollywood Iron Man movies lol.

I think my main peeve with the show was Tony Stark speaking Japanese. I mean he's American lol.

Either that you had never read the comics or you rely too much on the movies. Tony is a playboy and that's part of his personality.

Well I know that very well. What I meant was, the appearance and the character does not mesh well, leading to a vulgar outcome.

I'd be embarrassed to acknowledge this as Iron Man.

I don't get all the hate, at all, whatsoever. I mean, you were inspecting what?? Legend of the Galactic Heroes?? It was WAY BETTER than some animes out there. You might have problems with the art design, but if you gave ratings only based on it, then you are a complete failure. Story was there and more will develop fortunately. The fight scenes were good too and Keiji Fujiwara does a really good job at portraying Tony. Calm down the hate everybody. It was decent enough for god's sake.

Meh, the first episode was just average. It was a bit bland and the animation reminds me too much of Death Note (which I never liked the artstyle for that series to begin with). They should have stayed with the original trailer instead of what they delivered.

Overall, a 5.5/10.

The Iron Man live action movies are 10 times better than this series but here's hoping Robert Downey voices Iron Man in the English Dub.

Heroman was better, by far.

The second I saw Iron Man in CGI in the intro I knew this wasn't going to be pretty. What the hell happened Madhouse? The trailer for this looked fucking awesome. With all this extremely poor CGI you'd think this show was being animated by GONZO. The story itself wasn't any better. It's all over the place and feels rushed.

I just don't understand what the hell happened at Madhouse in between that trailer and the actual series.

Too much CGI. The trailer gave this far too much justice from animation to art.

Apart from that, will stick with it for a few episodes. Some kickass battles will be had.
