Anime styled Wolverine and Ironman

I saw the videos for these on youtube. The style honestly feels old school anime rather than new school. Especially with Wolverine. Hair that has the same 3 positions that repeats over and over, glowing claws that look more like magical weapons, anime styled kill effects... there's no doubt these teasers are anime through and through.

Many people in the youtube comments seem to be taking a person affront to the new style of some of their favorite memories. As these clips were produced in Japan, in Japanese Anime style, it's kind of a no brainer that they are made for *gasp* the Japanese market. You can argue, you can hate, but it doesn't change the fact that these are highly marketable American icons that require a remake to really break out into a new world market.

Business is business. Repackaging the same product with different colors is not something new, and actually has an air of legitimacy considering they're going after a new market with their new package instead of the same one yet again.
