Of course this Iron Man anime is totally badass—Japan's made cartoons about dudes in robot suits for over 40 years. And of course, Iron Man is blowing up a bunch of other dudes in crazy robot suits.

That bad guy is creepy—like a cross between M. Bison and this dude I saw on the cover of an anime in Blockbuster when I was 5 and gave me nightmares for a while and Guyver.

The show's for the Japanese market by the animation giant Madhouse, so except for Iron Man looking like Iron Man and beating ass, it won't be a whole lot like the all-American Iron Man we know. Still, I seriously hope they consider re-importing it so I don't have to download fansubs.

But uh, don't <a href="even ask what they're doing to Wolverine. It's just better that way. [Topless Robot via Technabob]
