Well it seems that while I was away Marvel Studios continued with its goal to turn every one of its comics into anime series.
First of all we had X-Men,
Which follows our favourite band of superheroes plus an obligatory Joss Whedon created Japanese member.
And now we have Blade
Which follows our friendly neighbourhood half-vampire, day-walking vampire hunter... and a new obligatory Japanese girl.
Now, some thoughts on these... I have not watched the Wolverine or Iron Man animes (yet) but from what I have heard from friends and people on the internet they have not been overly brilliant. What about X-Men? I haven't heard much at all about it, but from what I can gather from the intro it looks very Shonen with Cyclops being inexplicably overly bishonen. Is this a good thing? I'll have to get back to you on that.
So, I ask you Marvel, is it really necessary to jump on the vampire band wagon by releasing a Blade anime?
