Marvel's BLADE Anime on G4 - produced by MADHOUSE INC. - January 13/2012

[Neovingian]

I'm addicted to G4's Marvel's Blade Anime, I wonder why it took so long to port to anime and get a proper studio to make an animated version. The voice acting also works well for the most part, Eric Books aka Blade is voice by actor Harold Perrineau, wehose carreer took off in 97' as Mercutio in Baz Lurhmann's “Romeo + Juliet,” and in 2003 joined the “Matrix” trilogy as Link. Perrineau has also starred in hit TV series such as HBO’s “Oz,” and as Michael Dawson in “Lost.”

I actually found I liked this better than the Wolverine Anime by Madhouse the wolverine one seemed too corny at times. Maybe I preferred this since Blade is a trained martial artist + Blade's sword & vampire projectiles trumps that of wolverines claws. Either way the fighting and sword fights works extremely well.

This is the first Marvel comic that is best suited to Anime style, more so than Wolverine or Ironman. The best part about this adaptation of Blade is that its not really made for kids, its is much darker, got some adult themes and pretty graphic stuff at times.
If I had kids, I prolly wouldn't let em' watch it unless they were older.

They also changed up the story much from the comics and movies and no Whistler? I just wish Blade had more than 1 residual move technique it gets boring quick. They are up to episide 6.

This upcoming ep will feature Wolverine as well, that should be interesting.

Actually lost interest in this and X-Men. Guess we'll have to wait til they let Wesley Snipes out of jail so he can continue the live action saga...
