It’s great to see that this series is actually getting slightly better again with this third episode. I mean, this show fixes so many of the problems that Iron Man had. Wolverine is quite unique as an anime protagonist, especially in this Winter Season, and thank god the creators actually make use of it. This is what I’m expecting of a superhero action series.
Both Iron Man and Wolverine had to find ways to balance their characters, and prevent them from being too god-moded, and it’s hilarious how badly Iron Man failed at this by turning into an ignorant wimp at times. There was really no tension to this character as you could completely predict when he would win and lose. Wolverine is different though: the past three episodes showed that he’s an unstoppable beast, and yet there are plenty of people who have more refined combat techniques. Everyone in this series actually has a different way of fighting. This episode also showed that with the help of his female side-kick, Wolverine can come up with quite some interesting ways to fight back, like with the Molotov cocktail bombing.
Above all though, I love how well this series makes use of its simple storyline in order to never really slow down. It always keeps the balls in the air. The action scenes are long, but not too long and make sure to provide new small twists in order to prevent it from getting stale. The soundtrack is even better than the one from Iron Man and really helps to complement the action. It’s a simple action series, and it definitely isn’t as well animated as some of the other action this season (Madoka Magica and Yumekui Merry in particular), but it’s definitely some good, clean fun that I dearly missed t Iron Man.
Rating: * (Good)
I lold at this not having any comments… Madhouse shot themselves in the foot with the horrible adaptation of Iron Man and now people dont even give Wolverine a chance, despite this being MUCH better
Probably why it took so long for subs of the first episode to show up as well… But yeah, its a solid action series, no more no less
Im really enjoying this series, LOVE the action music. in ep 2 when that sanurai showed up. Hot damn and now the ending to ep 3!! I will enjoy this
I don’t know, it’s likeable but it just feels like I’m watching Saturday morning cartoons all over again. Though it’s still more worthwhile than Mitsudomoe, if that counts for anything.
Is a good pure action series. Plain and simple.
I still haven’t even watched episode one lol, but i’ll be sure to check this out when i get the chance.
