And those Marvel/Anime hybrids hurt. It was as if they took every cheesy anime cliche and put it in a blender. The traditionally somewhat stocky Wolverine as a tall thin ninja with a super-long mullet? Really?

So apparently I've missed a couple posts in this thread including the anime trailers one...And yea the anime ones make me somewhat physically ill. They combined the worst parts of anime with the worst parts of the original. Oh but it could have been good...if only not for design people who were clearly high.
