seeing the trailer i have high expectation of Wolverine being adapted to anime however, it was a bit of a let down for me. The first few episodes were a bit interesting but as it moves on i find myself bored with all the drama and cliche that i just wanted to finished it since i have already started watching. The animation is quite good and there are some decent fights (i specially like the fight with Omega Red!) however, knowing that Wolverine is one of marvel's most powerful and kick-ass fighter makes you wonder why he's spent most of the series ( read more)

Never mind the "love" interest angle with Wolverine you at least expect killer moves and spectacular fights scenes unfortunately even in this area the adaptation failed to deliver! I just hope that Madhouse has better interpretation of X-Men & Blade since so far both IronMan and Wolverine has been average in terms of entertainment quality! ( show less)

When I first saw the trailer for this, I was HYPED! I never did expect much in the way of a great story or character development (you shouldn't have either), but I did expect some excellent action sequences. I expected this to be one of those anime where logic takes a backseat and the viewers just sit back and enjoy the ride.
However, this anime failed to deliver. As expected, the story and character development was nothing to write home about. But sadly, the action and entertainment value were nothing great either. The action was boring and ( read more)

The action was boring and repetitive. The settings for the fights felt just plain dull. They could have DEFINITELY used more exciting villains. For the most part, I found myself utterly bored at this anime.
So in the end, just don't watch this. It has no appeal, it's just extremely boring. ( show less)

Wolverine Travels to Japan to reclaim the love that was stolen away from. Cliché and very much something that Marvel would do.
I'm having trouble putting my thoughts about the show into words, as my opinion isn't one of dislike, or enjoyment. I found the show to be ... average. Average is actually the best way to describe the show. An overused cliché storyline that is used as the sole premise to bring a well known character to a certain location in the world, thus giving the animation studio a reason for creating the show. The plot really only ( read more)

I'm having trouble putting my thoughts about the show into words, as my opinion isn't one of dislike, or enjoyment. I found the show to be ... average. Average is actually the best way to describe the show. An overused cliché storyline that is used as the sole premise to bring a well known character to a certain location in the world, thus giving the animation studio a reason for creating the show. The plot really only exists in about half of the episodes, the rest just seems to be there to pad out the show and make it longer.
The dialogue is average at best. Something about the voice actors portraying the characters grates against my ears. Not in an offensive way, a way that puts me off from watching initially. However, it neither is a manner that makes me want to continue. It is, again, average.
The animation can also be described as average. Some parts are fluid movements and smooth transitions, the rest are cheap, single limb movements with subtract from the quality. Not that such a style is bad, but when it is obvious and tacky, it really does make the rest of the animation suffer.
As for the entertainment, and here is the clincher, Wolverine can be entertaining. The battles are both interesting, and varied enough for the first few episodes. The side characters add a touch of variation to the battles, whereas wolverine just tends to "go there, slash that, get hit, make a snappy comment, slash it some more" which gets very tiresome, very quickly. By the the final credits had started rolling, I had lost my connection the characters, and no longer cared about their situation which is never a good sign for any story
In conclusion, an average attempt at a story which is let down even further by average voice acting and average animation. The show is entertaining to a degree, but quickly becomes boring and repetitive. Watch the show if your bored and looking for a fight scene or two, but otherwise you're not missing much. ( show less)

Its ok, the story is nothing much, I found it kinda boring. Great animation though, pretty good action, but he hardly uses his claws wtf. Plus he needs a superpower sidekick cuz watching a guy constantly run through random bullets get a bit dull...
