*DED FRUM LOL*
Oh God you guys the Wolverine anime I CAN'T EVEN! Seriously, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while and the sad part is that it wouldn't be IF THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO PASS THIS OFF AS WOLVERINE.
I mean this guy -- THIS GUY -- who looks like the villainous bishounen leader of some street gang out of Random Japanese Fighting Game IX is supposed to be THIS GUY?
LOL.
The voice acting's one of the better dubs I've heard and Wolvy's VA even has a great growl to his voice; it's just that he ONLY uses it when Wolvy goes into ADAMANTIUM RAAEEG. And that makes me sad. It also makes me sad that they didn't get Scott McNeil to do it, but despite what the rabid Kouga and/or Duo fangirls might have you think, he's not really a bishounen actor. Sad.
Anyway, you know what the worst part of this incarnation of Wolverine is?
It's not the bishounen-osity or the only half-growly dub.
It's not Wolvy spends more time quipping at his targets than fluffy!sweetheart!X-Men: Evo!Wolvy.
It's not that he greeted a man from his past suddenly appearing in his life again just to give him bad news with a friendly smile.
It's not that his kidnapped love-interest's betrothed looks like Yasuyoshi Sano after that whole Air Trek fad blew over and he realized he had nothing to live for except researching and developing not-so-ambiguously evil technologies for Yakuza bosses (although I did have to pause the episode at that point until I could stop laughing long enough to hear what was going on).
It's not that Wolvy wasted THREE WHOLE MINUTES of my life fighting Love Interest's old man in a KENDO MATCH complete with WOODEN BOKKEN instead of just ADAMANTIUM RAAEEG-ing that mothafucka, and THEN he wouldn't have given anorexic!Sano up there ample time to DRUG HIM.
It's not even that they passed over a completely AWESOME CANON female Japanese character from Wolvy's past who's been romantically linked to him in previous incarnations for some simpering little Plot Point masquerading as a character who's only purpose for existing is to give the writers an excuse to show Wolvy's gooshy side and then get him to Japan.
Oh no. The worst part of this whole thing?
I HAD TO WAIT ALMOST EIGHTEEN WHOLE MINUTES TO HEAR WOLVERINE CALL SOMEONE "BUB."
... who wants to catch up on the rest of the episodes with me? 8D
