the tony stark on the left sure doesn't look like the alcoholic depressed billionaire playboy I know
(ID #280136) Posted on 2008/08/27 12:36
LOL Agreed, he looks way to composed and poised, but does have sort of a lonely look, or maybe that's just me

We-ll, he does look 'bishounen' enough to sort of fill the 'billionaire playboy' archetype... ^_^ And is it me, or is he sporting a ponytail? His hair seems to be pulled back pretty tight.

Oh it is looking good. Animified Iron man. And though he may not look like the billionaire playboy Tony Stark we all know, he does look cool though. Love the stare.

No mustache? Well....I guess they prefer some heroes with no mustache......

I Agree. Let them do whatever they want on the story, BUT KEEP THE MOUSTACHE!!! ^^;

It's only more confirmed that they don't like their protagonists to have facial hair.

I don't know. Modern Madhouse stuff seems to be heavy on the technical proficiency, but light on entertaining substance. I'm mainly commenting on previous collaborations with American companies: The Animatrix, Highlander - The Search for Vengeance, and Batman - Gotham Knight. All of them have looked pretty, but have ultimately felt sterile, unsatisfying, and even boring. It's a shame, since early Madhouse stuff was cutting edge in so many ways. There's just something missing now.

Finally Ironman is becoming famous. I do expect a different feel and version since it is anime now.
(ID #280236) Posted on 2008/08/27 14:44
cool... plus i really like Madhouse... so it's double good for me.

The thing about this, with which I beleive will cause me not to want to watch it, is the one main thing that I both love, and hate about anime. Generally anime (especially those with this type of style) tend to make characters go around doing irrational poses, and having redundant conversation, all the while, giving characters a cold, stark (no pun intended) soulless personality. I dont think that Tony Stark could be correctly portrayed in this way. For instance, anyone who has seen the gotham knight animation collection, there is one particular story, with a style very similar to this. Nothing happened in that story, Bruce Wayne stood around, had some reduntand conversations, and posed. Well only time will tell, I'm sure that either way it comes out, people will love it all the same.

Madhouse failed; Stark isn't Stark w/o the 'stache. Also, I'm still waiting for my Batman anime series....>.>
(ID #280430) Posted on 2008/08/27 18:03
guess either japan or america ran out of idea huh? why america ppl don't do the animation itself? they made the original superhero theme is somehow not match for anime IMO, those facial hair and human like detail
