WOW -1 of the most underviewed/underappriciated of Marvels rather quiet collaborations with Anime ICONS/TITANS-The Led Zeppellin of Anime-Ladies &Gents (drumroll pleeze)M-A-D-H-O-U-S-E- This is an adaption of (the Iggy Pop of) ANIME- FRANK F'N MILLER. ok its a little bit spotty in parts -BUT IT WAS THE medium that brought back to a new generation both east & western culture the breaking off of Wolverine from the rest of the X-Men And retold the Samuri/Ronin Saga that Frank &C imagined & told to a world not exactly primed for of The Wolverine as Far Eastern Lore that was so groundbreaking it proceeded to slowly seep into the archetecture of heros reimaginating-or tweaking their origins to freshin them up for new &old audiences-it just took a little bit of digesting to fully cumullate into 2013'sBLOCKBUSTER The Wolverine w/Hugh & those ultra BadA** Babes Marik/&Blood Red Haired'BodyGuard'-She deff Got what it takes to take what I got!!!So this is the Anime Genisis to that movie-So even though this story arc is different -it is what was a rough bluprint-&so if U R a Fan of Wolverine &eastern settings -this 1's for U-Enjoy

I love this movie

I've always loved this anime, and now I've got it on DVD!KEEP IN MIND:If you want to watch in English, you have to change the setting in Languages before starting each episode. If you plan on binging the whole thing, then you only have to do it before selecting "Play all episodes."

Marvel has dipped a bit into Anime and I decided I had to get a look for myself. Naturally, Wolverine got his own, 12 episode series. The series starts off with he and the love of his life, Mariko Yashida, on a boat together when Mariko is taken. When he finally finds her, Logan discovers she is betrothed to another, at the insistence of her father, Shingen. For those who have read the comics, events in here have some resemblance to the Wolverine limited series as well as some parts of the Wolverine regular series from years ago. We do get to see some other villains, such as Omega Red show up.I am a big time Wolverine fan. I have been for years now. I did like the series, but I have some issues with it too. There is lots of action and plenty of Logan putting bad guys into a "world of hurt". We get to see some cool characters such as Yukio cause some havoc. What bothers me most, however, is how Logan is portrayed but I will explain.Prior to watching this series, I watched the Anime X-Men series (which is awesome). In that series, they did a great job with the voices and the dialogue matched very well with how the characters, including Wolverine, are portrayed in the comics (or at least how they were in the 80's and 90's, I haven't collected in about 14 years). Wolverine in this series probably has one of the worst voice overs they could have chosen. It just doesn't match with the Logan that we know (or any of the voices in other animated series he has been in). He is smaller framed and thinner in this series too. It was almost as if I couldn't see him as Wolverine until he popped his claws out.The voices in general didn't come nearly as close to the quality they found for the Anime X-Men series. I know Anime in general has some lousy voice overs anyway, to the point where it is kind of funny and that is one allure of anime. It doesn't ruin the show, but it definitely does detract. Again, part of my problem is that they did it right with X-Men so I feel as though they could have done it right here.Overall, it's a good series and it's pretty cheap here. Wolverine fans should certainly consider getting this.

This anime version of Wolverine is very good. Now its not for kids for Saturday morning toons. Teens and adults recommended since it a lot of graphic violence, but with good reason. And the cool thing is how I would depict Wolverine exactly how gritty as he supposed to be. A lot of good story and action fight scenes throughout the series here on 2 discs. This is about Wolverines Japanese connections so naturally it all takes place in Japan. A fitting idea to make an anime version too right?

received the package and everything seemed ok. Opened it up but low and behold disc one of the two disc set was cracked right in two. so I'm not on to make a fuss and I listened to a friend that the first disc wasn't all that great so. Ok I'll let it slide. That an well I doubt wolverine would've really care in the end.

The wolverine video storyline and plot was enticing and interesting, so I did not lose in the video. The animation was very life like, which I really like when the animation is more human like in the movements and life like drawings. The fight scenes were very exciting and I was drawn into the action. Loved it.

First I had anime Blade then anime Iron Man then anime X-Men and now I have anime wolverine in my collection. All I'm missing now is an anime Daredevil, anime Punisher and anime Fantastic Four DVDs. If you like marvel characters and/or wolverine then you should get this.
