Wolverine

Well, I just finished watching the Wolverine Anime Mini Series and it was decent.

Positives for Wolverine (2011): Similar to the X-Men Anime Mini Series, the animation in this series is absolutely phenomenal. Milo Ventimiglia gives a good performance as Logan/Wolverine and while he is the weakest portrayal of this character, I still enjoyed what he brought to this character. I liked the journey that Logan goes on in this mini series. And finally, the action sequences in the series are awesome then again that's to be expected from any anime.

Negatives for Wolverine (2011): The story in this movie isn't that I'm interesting to me. For me, this story was done better in The Wolverine (2013). Also, this show's portrayal of Wolverine isn't the most compelling version of the iconic X-Men Character.

Overall, Wolverine (2011) is a decent enough binge watch for both X-Men and Anime fans.

First off, I just want to say I the Marvel Animated Universe. And Wolverine is personally my favourite superhero from Marvel. But the only problem is that anime and Marvel Animation don't go well together. I hated this. It was badly animated and ugh, it was just terrible! I don't understand how people can even watch this. There are no words to describe how terrible it was. It had to spark of Marvel in it. The has got to be the worst Marvel Animated ever made. How can people even think about making this crap when it deserves to be thrown into the trash! It was not only the worst animation adaption of the Marvel Animated Universe, it is also the biggest disappointment.

Logan learns that his true love, beloved sweetheart and girlfriend Mariko Yashida, who disappeared one year ago, has been taken to Tokyo by her father Shingen Yashida, the head of the Japanese crime syndicate Kuzuryu and a supplier of A.I.M., in order to be wed to Hideki Kurohagi. Wolverine goes on a quest to rescue Mariko and defeat Shingen and Hideki, encountering several opponents along the way.

This was just terrible. I DON'T recommended this!

Wolverine as anime should work, especially given the character's frequent occasion with Japan, but this series really misses the mark. There's a lack of excitement or originality, though there are moments of decent action, but the voice-actor for Wolverine is the real problem. He feels woefully miscast and nothing at all like the character should sound. Why didn't they just get Steve Blum? Unfortunately, the series just really doesn't work.

While I love these original comic book stories, straight from the source, even animation wise, these Marvel Anime segments aren't my favorite to watch, great Wolverine story though!

If you're a fan of either X-Men or anime, but not a hard-up fanboy of the former, then you should find this an enjoyable and entertaining series. Animation is great and I love the style. The (English) voice acting is fine, and the mix of characters are likeable although some are a bit under-developed. There is a good build up to the finale and it reaches quite a climax, but I felt let a bit let down by the final scenes after everything that happened. It's definitely worth the watch.
