Sweet Marvel anime goodness! You heard it here first! Well, you’ve probably heard it from Marvel.com first, actually.
The home of tech/geek/video game shows like Attack Of The Show and X-Play, G4 has acquired four anime-themed programs based on the Marvel properties X-Men, Blade, Iron Man and Wolverine. Each series will have twelve 30 minute episodes that will begin airing sometime next year.
Executive Vice President and Head of Television at Marvel Entertainment Jeph Loeb says:
“Bringing Marvel and our characters to G4 is such an awesome opportunity. The size and scope of the animation from top-flight studios Madhouse and Sony is nothing short of mind-blowing. We look forward to the start of a beautiful friendship and can’t wait to see the reaction from our worldwide fan-base.”
The series will be produced by Madhouse for Marvel Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television, Inc. For more detailed descriptions on each program, check out this link. To check out the trailers for Iron Man and Wolverine, click here.
I, for one, am proud of G4 for landing such a good deal. I am also excited for the future of comic characters from Marvel and DC alike simply because they are showing up all over television and movies!
