I'm a pretty open minded individual when it comes to remakes of my childhood favorites. I accept that most remakes won't recapture the nostalgic feeling that I had during my childhood. I also know that some remakes have made me love a series more. (I'm looking at you, My Little Pony.) Unfortunately, I can't keep ignoring the Marvel and Madhouse anime project. When Marvel decided to team up with Madhouse to give classic characters Iron Man, Wolverine, Blade, and the Xmen an anime style makeover, I was cautiously optimistic. While I wasn't totally taken by the idea of my favorite Marvel characters given the BESM treatment, I thought it would be interesting to see how Madhouse would translate these heroes into an anime world. However, what happened was less than appetizing. While I am all for the exploration of new ideas, I can't totally get behind this project. There are just too many aspects about this that are making me cringe just a little bit. Spoilers after the jump.
