Side-by-side comparison between American version and Japanese anime version
Update: The Sports Nippon newspaper has posted two images of Iron Man — the original American version from Marvel Comics that inspired the live-action film (pictured at right), and the Japanese anime version by the Madhouse studio. The anime version of Iron Man is set to debut in a 12-episode series in Japan in the spring of 2010. According to Madhouse President and CEO Jungo Murata, Marvel is giving the anime studio behind Death Note, Paprika, and Vampire Hunter D free reign to re-imagine the Marvel superheroes for Japanese audiences.
