Apparently Warren Ellis (best-known to the masses as the writer of Transmetropolitan) is writing a crazy anime-style Iron Man series. The trailer looks fucking fantastic, and I have always LOVED Ellis's take on Iron Man. This looks exceptionally promising. If the series lives up to the promise of this trailer, I can very, very easily see myself buying DVDs of this one.
I'm especially impressed by the fact that the localization is being kept to really reasonable levels; from what I've heard, it has Tony Stark travelling to Japan (rather than being a Japanese teenager or somesuch nonsense), and they're plainly using an Adi Granov design for the armour, which I think establishes on a global scale the truth that everyone can agree that Granov is by far the best Iron Man artist of all time.
Oh, this is some kind of wonderful.
