Now see...those are two words that don't belong in the same sentence IMO. Wolverine and Anime leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But then again, the thought of Wolverine as a Ronin felt so mischaracterized to me until I actually read the story. He's most often played as a tackles, berserker, beer drinking macho man, the complete opposite of the Samurai. Yet somehow Claremont made it work.

Get someone else to direct it. For God's sake. Wolverine deserves a great movie. Perhaps David  Fincher , the guy who directed Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac and many others , would be a good choice.

Oo, I wonder if the Deadpool movie will be on any of the mini-series of him. Perhaps the 1993 one, or the 1994?

After the travesty that was the latest film, I'm not holding my breath....

So long as Shingen is portrayed as the master that he is, I'll consider seeing it.

I don't know, if this is based upon Claremonts first Wolverine/Japan series...I'd say it's pretty safe bet that Silver Samurai will be in it. He was a very large role. I could also see Sunfire being featured, being basically Japans Capt. America. But where is everyone getting Gorgon from? Again...I don't remember him having anything to ever do with Wolverine. Ever! As far as I know, Stiltman has as much to do with Wolverine as Gorgon. Hah! Is this something new I missed? "

His first appearence was in a wolverine comic, he's a wolverine foe "

OOOH! I just realized there are two Gorgons! When everyone said the name, considering I read a lot of Silver Age stuff and not Modern, I though you meant the Inhuman, also named Gorgon, who first appeared in Fantastic Four back in the day. I was thinking, "The half-bull dude with hooves vs. Wolverine?" Seemed like such an odd pairing and that’s cause…well…it is! Hah! I had the wrong Gorgon. Hah!  I’m confusing everyone. First there’s two Wolverine/Japan stories, now two Gorgons. Hah!

Amen to that, brother. I'm with you completely on this. The Wolverine anime they are making looks far too 'pretty' for a Wolverine story. It could still of been of a historical quality, but it should of been created more along the lines of gritty series such as Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop.  To date it looks more like Trinity Blood.
The flashiness works for Ironman.
 
For anyone not familiar with the series, here are some examples:
Cowboy Bebop

Samurai Champloo

Oh man! If they did Wolverine (anime) in the style of Bebop, I'd be in heaven. I’m very selective with anime, but Bebop was pure gold. I get chills just thinking about certain episodes. The potential for this was there, but the execution sucks. It’s such a shame they went the angle they did. With the exception of the claws, he doesn’t even look like Wolverine. At all! I wasn’t especially impressed with Gotham Knights either, though some of the stories includes were way better than others, but by comparison…I think Gotham Knights looks fantastic compared to this.   
 

I should pick up this Japan Wolverine saga..sounds good                  
 
Its also great to here jackman willing to acknowledge a specific story        %Pr

Can this one not be a steaming pile of sh*t like the last one, please?

Hated the first one but I'd love to see Ken Watanabe as Silver Samurai. Maybe a small apperance by Roughhouse and Bloodscream. Or maybe even Mr.X.

WOW...this is a fanboys dream.

When they take a character u like from a time they were the greatest. Imhappy their going this route with Japan story, because his recent stuff just puts me off from the character completely. Only recent thing i enjoyed reading was LOGAN and that was just a mini.

So hoorah to Wolverine getting another movie

"Oh?  Time to make more stuff up!  When will they learn?  Comic book adaptations are the most successfully when barley anything about the story is changed.  Look at Spiderman, Fantastic Four, etc.  Barley anything in their storyline was changed and it was just as successfully if not more.    The first film was a travesty.   Barley a single thing was accurate about Wolverine's character.  Are we really surprised they are gonna to make even more shit up?   LOL @ them trying to make up for their mistakes by taking him to Japan and STILL getting the story wrong.  It's a domino effect, change one thing and next thing you know the series is unrecognizable.   I can already see the steam rising from this gigantic turd.  Marvel should start putting its foot down on these writers who never so much as picked up a comic.  "

I’ve totally got to disagree with the Spider-Man and particularly Fantastic Four movies being especially accurate. The entire Dr. Doom origin plot was completely made up for the film, a character that’s arguably more popular then the Fantastic Four themselves. So much of the foursome’s origin was also extremely altered. So I’m totally not sure what FF comics you’ve read…but they’re totally not the ones I’ve read.

 I’ve always found the Spider-Man film franchise to be incredibly overrated and Raimi to be a very poor directing choice. The Green Goblin looks like a power ranger, Peter Parkers way too much of a comedic relief loser, and Mary Jane feels tacked into the origin. The sheer fact that they put Dafoe in that helmet is almost insulting. The guys way more frightening without it and you just don’t hinder caliber actor’s facial expressions like that. They dropped the ball on the Goblin.

The much better example for your argument would be Iron Man. It’s a film that relatively stuck to the source material, despite some alterations. Starks original was transplanted from Vietnam to Iraq, but that was to make it more contemporary, also following the more modernized Iron Man revamp. The similarities are astonishing and far closer to the original comic then pretty much anything seen in the Fantastic Four film.    

i dont know if i can get into this...im loosing interest in one of my fav character..the way they've been handling him now a days makes him look to much like a b#tch...i miss when he was one of  the baddest men in marvel no one would f#$k whit him...and the movie is just crap...just cause hugh jackass looks like him dosent mean sh#t...hes a horrible actor...

I thought the movie was fine as an action movie..but as a Wolverine movie apart from Jackman..it sucked big time. 
Its mostly canon stuff that pissed me off, but what they did with Deadpool is unacceptable..not to mention Maverick/Agent Zero.

My guess is that they'll learn from the past.

is this when wolverine meets ogun n starts to get the love of japan?

I wouldn't mind see them fusing Itsu's character with that of Mariko's to set up Daken as a bad guy in a future X-film.

As long as it is all a flashback and make no more references to the x-men trilogy, it's all okay ...
