Anime Review ~ Wolverine


So in all honesty I have been watching this anime by pre chance of stumbling upon it and I must admit. Although it is Marvel's very own anime production...IT IS VERY BAD.

The storyline is this.

Wolverine is in New York with his lover Mariko(a Japanese woman, seriously?) when all of a sudden bad guys attack and kidnapped her. Well, her father did so she's in good hands no matter how you want to look at it.

One year later, Wolverine is seen getting attacked by some creepy bad guys in white tightsuit turning invisible. he rescued Asano, his friend who came to New York from Japan to look for him.

Well now the only reason Asano came looking for Wolverine is because Mariko is engaged to a mad scientist creeper and *not so coincidentaly* she's the daughter of a feared yakuza. So this Mariko bitch is pretty much in 'double shit' situation and who else would jump at the opportunity to be the hero? Logan a.k.a Wolverine.


This sexy bastard.


Well, there are cool fighting scenes to go through and lots of hot babes with exposed cleavage so props for the male species. |=\

Last time I remember, Wolverine was a ruthless blood thirsty devil(even when he joined the X-MEN). I dont like it that he's being portrayed as a lovesick puppy. Logan was more interested in fighting, not falling in love.

The ONLY good thing about this anime is that it's spectacular artwork. Last time I checked for that style of artwork was the anime version of Devil May Cry.


Rating:

Storyline: ONE. Terrible plot, almost cliched.
Artwork: 10. Wolverine would be shirtless most of the time so who doesn't want to see Wolverine in hot ripped abbs!!!
Soundtrack: BADASS. Full 10. Heavy Metal have never been cooler.


Overal rating: 3/10. Only because it's Wolverine. *hmph*

Review ~ The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

  I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's his first book so there's that.  The plot ran smoothly with realistic dynamics between character...
