History Anime / Wolverine

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: Among other things, some people refer to the series as sacrilege, Japan's revenge for the Americans [[DragonballEvolution ruining Dragonball]], the reason they hate anime, and the reason why TheBible says [[LegionsOfHell Satan's army]] will come from the east. Also, [[GodwinsLaw it has something to do with World War 2]]. All this after seeing one trailer that looks nothing like the finished product. Word of warning: Don't ever mention that you actually watched any of it.

* RUINEDForever: SteveBlum (the guy who entered the voice acting business via anime) ''not'' reprising his role as Wolverine in the anime adaption...Fuck YOOOOOUUUUUU, Marvel!

YourMileageMayVary if you think this is a good idea or [[WTHCastingAgency not]].
** Noting that since Marvel is now a subsidiary of Disney, casting top Hollywood actors into anime dubs ''who aren't even regulars in voice acting'' is a common practice (particularly with Miyazaki's films). [[SuperlativeDubbing Doesn't mean the dubs suck]].

* [[spoiler: KillEmAll]]

!!'''This series contains examples of:'''

* SelfMadeOrphan: Hideki, though he insists it was [[OffingTheOffspring pre-emptive self-defence]].

* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:Hideki's pistol going off when Logan tackled him in a manner that ''just happened'' to fatally wound Yukio.]]

* ShallowLoveInterest: It's remarkable how few alterations they would have had to make to the plot were Yukio replaced with an inanimate MacGuffin.

* NobleDeomon: Kikyo, an assassin with a strict code of honour.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Omega Red toward Wolverine.

* LittleMissBadass: Min, who will knife you in the face. And if that doesn't work, will shove a steam pipe in your [[EyeScream eye]] with her bare hands.

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]]: Why Yukio wants Shingen dead.

* UrbanSegregation: Madripoor is split into two sections. Lowside is the poor, filthy slum area, and Highside is the clean, modern area where the rich people live. The only thing in common between the two sides is that they're both completely populated by criminals.

Beginning in early 2011 as the second of four MarvelComics series produced by anime studio MadHouse, ''{{Wolverine}}'' follows Logan's journey to Japan in search of his lost love, [[DistressedDamsel Mariko Yashida]].

* BadassNormal: '''Shingen'''
