When I wrote this review originally I only watched three episodes and gave it an 8. I'm going to be honest: it went a little downhill from there. But then I saw the final episode. And I sat back on my chair thinking of the awesomeness I just witnessed. Seriously, if you start this anime you have got to finish it till the end. I mean that.

In the opening we see Tandoji riding his tiny motorcycle in the most badass way possible and FictionJunction singing a fitting song. First impressions are important, and this show managed to give a good one.

About the story; ... very funny, but lacks a little more depth. However, it is still a little too early to say such a thing (who knows what will happen in the next episodes!). Everything is exaggerated to the max, with maid soldiers and a butler in the organization, and a top secret research facility in the mountains. Just to my liking!

Art is the same as Code Geass, and I have absolutely no objections to that. As I said before, the opening is awesome. The music really gives off the feeling that you are watching a superhero movie. Splendid work, also I love how they switched the opening with the ending halfway through the series.

Anyway, people shouldn't get so frustrated over this show. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it in my opinion. Sure, it has a lot of aspects that can be seen in Scryed and Code Geass, but I don't mind that one bit. After all, I loved those aspects in the original anime, and love to see them return in this anime.
Yes, even the ridiculous butler's Knightmare frame is cool.

First off, let me say that I watched the anime of Iron Man. I was quite disgusted the way they turned Tony Stark into some sort of low-class hero, by throwing around weird plots and giving Tony rather weak character traits. In my opinion, this is unacceptable when handling our favourite superheroes. For Wolverine, I feared that Madhouse Studios would further embarass itself just like they did with Iron Man. Glad it didn't turn out that way.

Alright, there are still some really weird plot twists, but at least the story has some fun elements to it. After watching 4 episodes, I dare say it is ... a fairly interesting one for now. Still, I doubt relying on heavy plottwists will keep this show alive, so I'm going to go ahead and rate it a 7.

The art is the same as that of Iron Man, but we all saw that one coming. After all, Marvel is trying to unite all its heroes in one giant clash against the villains. And of course, since Wolverine made a side-appearance in Iron Man, drawing him in a different way is simply not acceptable. The character style reminds me a bit of people with anorexia, so I will give this a 7 as well.

Sound, oh the sound. It is the thing I liked most about Iron Man, and I'm glad they kept the awesome music. Let me throw you an 8 for that one.

Wolverine does almost everything on instinct. And that usually involves fighting. A lot of fighting! Whenever Wolverine goes into rage mode, you are going to love it. Too bad the moment Wolverine stops fighting, things get rather dull.

Ah well, it is quite enjoyable so far. For all you Marvel fans out there, don't miss this anime. You owe it to yourself to see your favourite hero kicking butt in Japan!
