Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Wolverine (2010), the second installment in the four-part reinterpretation of Marvel characters for Japanese audiences, makes the transition much more successfully than Blade. The series is based on four graphic novels created by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller in 1982. Logan/Wolverine heads for Japan when Mariko, the woman he loves, is kidnapped by agents of her father, Japanese yakuza boss Shingen Yashida. He plans to marry her to the slimy Hideki Kurohagi, cementing the alliance between their gangs. The path to true love seldom runs smoothly, but it's rarely this rocky. Wolverine has to battle not only scores of yakuza thugs with hi-tech weapons, but an increasingly deadly succession of mutants. Kikyo can produce a katana (Japanese long sword) from his wrist, much the way Wolverine extends his trademark claws. Omega Red, a Russian biomedical experiment gone wrong, attacks with metal tentacles and a Boris Badenov accent. The gigantic automaton Vadhaka presents an even graver threat. Wolverine gets some help from his friends, especially the slinky assassin Yukio, who fights with a ring-shaped throwing knife, and a cadre of rebel slum-dwellers. Their fighting skills may be formidable, but Wolverine fans know better than to expect a happy ending. Director Hiroshi Aoyama keeps the action moving and choreographs the many fights with the requisite panache. The result is a violent but interesting fusion of Eastern and Western fantasy that recalls Wolverine's catchphrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice." (Unrated; suitable for ages 14 and up: violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

(1. Mariko, 2. Yukio, 3. Kikyo, 4. Omega Red, 5. Asano, 6. Girl--Min, 7. Vadhaka, 8. Koh, 9. Hell Road, 10. Shingen, 11. Kurohagi, 12. Logan)

Product Description

This series pays homage to Frank Miller's legendary Wolverine graphic novel from the 1980's. The series begins when Mariko, the love of Logan's life, is forced back to Japan by her crime-lord father, Shingen. Logan vows to get her back at any cost. He is plunged into a chaotic world of corruption and violence, forcing him to team up with young assassin, Yukio, to battle their way through the Japanese criminal underworld.

I liked this video very much. It completely follows the Marvel Wolverine character and gives a most indepth look at love, life, motovation,and abilities. It also has plenty of action,heroes,villians, and twists to keep you interested. I would highly recommend this video to fans of the Wolverine character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wolverine bloddy and tragic as it should be October 6, 2012
Format:DVD
I was very unsure of this when it was announced. Wolverine in the comics has a fantastic story arc set in Japan. This anime series borrows from it but keeps it kind of new. Omeaga Red was the only sour note his fight scenes were great, but it felt out of place in this story. Everything else worked really good there is a really cool back story on the new characters to make you feel for them, the twist and turn reminded me of a really good video game script.

There's is a couple of movie references one to the graduate when Wolverine stops the wedding and a great Rocky 3 tease after the credits of the last episode.

I was surprised by how good the story really was, yes there are some fights for no reason but to have a cool fight scene but there are plenty shocking plots and sub plots, and there is a good amount of blood, I would not recommend this for little kids, there are some bloody scenes. But teenagers and adults should enjoy this is not perfect but it's pretty great.
