THE CONTEST IS OVER! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!
There’s a huge overlap between anime fans and comics fans, but we thing that crossover could be even bigger. SUBSCRIBE: goo.gl/YjUAbP
If you’ve got friends who were psyched to see Avengers: Age of Ultron, then they’ll probably enjoy this sampling of Anime as well.
Tom, Anna, Dave and Mystery Guest X discuss some anime that will appeal to superhero action fans of all stripes.
Series we discussed:
Tiger & Bunny - suggested by Vicer Marshal Victory. An admitted spoof of the American superhero genre, and has a definite love for our heroes’ backstories.
Samurai 7 - For those who can’t get enough completely awesome action sequences.
Shonen Jump (Suggested by waybig1010101 and combatron) - Shonen might as well be Japanese for “Superhero.”
Cowboy Bebop - For those who also enjoy some “Guardians of the Galaxy” flavor.
Fate Zero - if what you love about The Avengers is the team dynamics and crazy awesome action sequences.
What do you think? Did we miss any essential superhero-esque anime? What’s your favorite anime of manga to introduce a friend to the genre? Which of these show do you think best captures the Avengers vibe?
