    I've never heard Warren referred to as a "Funnybook Titan" before. Hahaha..

    I think that just replaced "Wise Old Man of the Internet Forest" in my mind.

    Storm and Beast both look pretty good, and it looks like this'll have lots of fun energy going for it. Fingers crossed.

    "Overseen" is a bit strong. I wrote rough outlines for all 48 episodes, that would then have been rewritten by the actual scripters. I doubt much of my work remains.

    I saw both the Iron Man and Wolverine pilots and while I think the Wolverine one is the better of the two, so far. But there are some sheanigans going on with the plot so far, it seems.

    Oh wow it looks like the Wolverine and Iron Man trailers have been online for quite some time:

    http://www.beyondhollywood.com/warren-ellis-iron-man-and-wolverine-anime-trailers-plus-excalibur/

    They can both be seen there. They all look really cool, they seem to have changed up Wolverines look a lot I can only recognise him by his claws.

    Was "Cyclops is pretty. So very, very pretty." part of the character outline?

    @Warren:

    It was a minor thing in the latter part of the pilot that dealt with the main bad guy and Wolverine that just sent my inner nerd into a tantrum. It was a minor thing but it set me off a little bit.

    I've watched a couple of the Iron Man and Wolverine episodes (the fan-made subtitled versions of the original japanese broadcasts are up on your local anime streaming websites) the Iron Man episodes seemed a bit tame, but I'm loving the Wolverine ones.

    Nothing makes tactical genius better than very, very pretty.

    &Travis: It's a distracting tactic, actually.

    Does anybody know what the last anime is going to be? I know Iron Man, Wolverine, X-men and...?

    @Warren So basically you wrote the rough outlines and they rewrote your stuff then made it out like you were executive producer? D: That's sure nice of them, I think, maybe, maybenot? I'll keep my eye out for the show, it looks all shiny from the teaser trailer. I wish we got G4 where I live. :o

    So io9 has the character designs up:

    Once again, I really like Storm's character design. Its a nice departure from the '90s animated design that I grew up with, but it still feels like STORM. And Beast's double-breasted jacket is a fun touch.

    Dunno how I feel about Armor. I think most of it is her very blank pose, but I wish she had a little more attitude to her design. Who knows, though, since this is just a lineup sheet, and we haven't seen Hisako in action yet.

    Well, that was the job description. I was aware of that going in. I just think it's fair to note that the rough outlines were then rewritten and scripted by Madhouse's own writers, to an extent I'm unaware of but probably, you know, extensively. If any of the the serials are a success, it'll be down to those writers, not me.
