Spoiler for Episode 1 of Ironman:

kenjiharima · 2010-10-01, 10:47

Oh it aired already? Damn missed it....

Gotta see how Tony acts, will not look at the spoilers.

The OP

MrTerrorist · 2010-10-01, 23:49

If they dub this to english, I want Robert Downey Jr to reprise his role.

ReddyRedWolf · 2010-10-02, 00:48

This thread should be moved to current.

LOL Tony got a taste of a Japanese female slap calling him pervert. Also the first thing he does on Japanese soil is eye on a meganeko. I can see Pepper halfway across the world having a feeling of a potential sexual harassment suit coming.

Edgewalker · 2010-10-02, 00:55

I'm glad they kept Starks playboy personality.

If they had tried to convert him into a generic Japanese man Shinji clone this show would have been shit. Luckily they didn't and the show seems good to boot.

Will be following this one.

I'm kinda disappointed with the outcome Madhouse came out with. I heard they had 'free reign to re-imagine the Marvel superheroes for Japanese audiences. Yet this cartoon feels really western and seems to take a lot from the recent films with the in helmet UI and the 'suit up sequence'. The CG could also use a little more work. The framerate seems pretty low.

Hopefully it gets better over the series.

LightningZERO · 2010-10-02, 02:24

I'm not expecting any thing new or 're-imagine'. I'm just glad it is good old Iron Man adventure, anime style. Look at what they did to Wolverine!

ReddyRedWolf · 2010-10-02, 04:02

Considering the Mark III(?) armor it seems to be set between the first movie and Iron Man 2. With Tony selling his Arc technology.

Interesting big Arc reactor uses plutonium where as Tony's mini-Arc reactor uses a palladium, later that new element. Also the whole hero retirement thing doesn't make sense unless one watched Iron Man 2.

But it does goes against Tony's attitude in Iron Man 2 where he doesn't want the US government gaining his Iron Man suit. Though I don't know if within the season he'll go 180 over others using his armor tech.

Circlebutton · 2010-10-02, 04:36

Script feels lazy. No complain about animation. Will stick around because Iron Man is one of my childhood heroes

Spoiler for Suspicion:

This guy might as well tattoo "me bad" on his forehead

What is this supposed to be? It's right between the credit and preview

Funkatron · 2010-10-02, 07:33

I hereby dub this show "Tony Stark's Wacky Adventures in Japan!". It so totally felt that way, especially with the slap in the face he got when that reporter didn't put up with his BS. I also find his reasoning for choosing Japan for his arc reactor initiative was hilarious. Sure Tony, trhe Japanese are peace loving beatniks. Sure they won't use your tech to create giant robots....

I agree with above that the script department was lazy. Cheap way to get him to Japan and Tony seems to have lost some of his spark. That and we need more Pepper, stat.

OkamiNoKaze · 2010-10-02, 07:38

Pretty good first episodes, I had hoped the show would have it's own continuity, but I guess being tied to the movies isn't so bad, I had wondered how Tony's personality would clash against Japanese society. I'm sure it was done wholly on purpose, but add a little mustache to that Editor in Chief, and you have another J.J. Jameson.

ReddyRedWolf · 2010-10-02, 07:46

Not that Japan are utter peace lovers but their very constitution prohibits their military for aggressive warfare but for self defense only.

Specifically Article 9.

Japan as we know was an aggressor and loser of World War II Pacific theater. So these terms were forced upon them. Heck Japan got off lightly compared to Germany.

Bonta Kun · 2010-10-02, 09:54

Not bad, not totally unlike Iron Man as we know it but also not quite like the Iron Man as we know it.

Either way it's still good to watch for what it is and I think I'll enjoy it through out.

Just hope we get more Pepper Potts

kenjiharima · 2010-10-02, 09:56

just saw the anime. WOW! It was AWESOME!

Seems they've made it from the movie Ironman where before he was developing Mark5 and 6 armors which are hack proof.

Now I'll be damn sure Ironman "Dio" or the blue stealth version will have a product increase on sales when it's introduced in the movie or was that the plan all along? For the other ironman toys to sell? Good job campaigning it in the anime.

Love how Tony acts similar to the one we know arrogant, confident, womanizer you know the deal with Tony.

This really needs to get an English dub soon and I hope Robert Downy would do it, it's like watching an anime version of him.

Though I think we won't see Rhode's(War Machine) here because this seems to happen in between the first movie and the 2nd movie, but hey who knows?

Ironman anime check added to watch lists.

mechalord · 2010-10-02, 10:37

I was disappointed the final animation was nothing like the teaser trailer but it works. The CGI was a bit better than I expected, although it isn't the greatest. I wish it were all hand drawn or at least had the hand-drawn look.

Oh yeah, Tony's suit wasn't hacked. The suit was sabotaged from the start. It was programmed to emit a red light in the HUD in order to trigger the brainwashed pilot into stealing the suit.

Iron Man falls into the mecha genre. He has powers similar to Astro Boy. He's a scientist that builds robots. He's a dude in a robot armor. A lot of things translate well. Madhouse didn't change much of the source material because of that.

Was it confirmed that this is series is situated between the 1 & 2? It felt like it's in a different timeline/universe since Tony was so reluctant to give the suit to the US army in Iron Man 2 and yet he just gave the Dio and the tech to build an Arc Reactor to the Japanese like candy. This first episode felt like this series will be totally unrelated to the movies.

margafred ლ(́◉◞౪◟ ◉ ლ ) Join Date: Jul 2007	Spoiler for Episode 1 of Ironman: Juz watched the first episode.... not sure where to comment first. I think the CGs were awesome, though still look awkward in many scenes. The anime version kinda look like American's cartoon style. Not that bad but, kinda not used to it. And Tony Stark... was that even Tony Stark? This Tony Stark seems to lose half of his charms from the movie version. He didn't seems to be that egoistic and high profile to me. And the reporter Nanami... her voice really kinda like Morishima Haruka from Amagami. Well i guess her voice has always been like that. And to think that she slapped Tony Stark, and asking him about his preferences on woman not long after that... she sure is one hell of a reporter. Also loved Stark's expression after the slap... priceless i`d say Storyline wise... kinda disappointed with the settings of Tony Stark started as the well known Ironman. Seeing how he's willing to share his Ironman technology to the Japanese, i wonder if the anime version follows the story after Ironman 2. Plot and action... i guess okay. Not half bad. Enemy seems to be way ahead in terms of technology compared to Stark's technology. OP titled Activation... just some plain AC/DC (i think not even close to) like rock music. Same goes to the ED The Fight Never Ends. Well not i expect anything from the music though. It would be awesome though if its AC/DC that doing the music. All in all, i actually expected something better. But i guess its still okay to follow another few episodes of this for now. 6/10
