Iron Man Anime from SDCC 2010 by Madhouse x Marvel Entertainment
1-minute's worth of Iron Man Anime by Japan's Madhouse ~ which apparently made it's debut at the recently concluded San Diego Comic-Con. With all my recent "born-again" (offline) fascination with the crossover visual+storytelling-fest between the US and Japanimation (ie: Animatrix and Gotham Knight), this is quite intriguing a development.
