 Marvel Disk Wars is a cash-in anime by Toei based on Marvel characters. It sure is something. Plot: With help from Japanese professor Nozomu Akatsuki, Tony Stark, aka Iron Man develops a new device called the Digital Identity Securement Kit, known as DISKs for short, designed to help the cause of stopping and detaining supervillains. However, whilst presenting the DISK project on Ryker Island, Loki appears and uses the very same DISKs to launch a breakout of all the captured supervillains, trapping Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Wasp and Hulk inside DISKs as well. Nozomu's sons, Akira and Hikaru, along with three other children, Edward, Chris, and Jessica, come to possess these DISKs and join forces to put a stop to Loki and his army of supervillains. Staff: Series Director: Toshiaki Komura Series Composition: Ryuu King Character Design: Tadayoshi Yamamuro Art design: Bonzen Sumono, Nobuto Sakamoto Mech Design: Shuntarō Mura Production Head: Yasuhiko Nukaga Characters:  Akira Akatsuki (Mitsuki Saiga) A carefree young boy. He and his older brother Hikaru are invited to visit his father's research lab on Ryker's Island and to discuss about the DISK project when it was under attack by Loki's forces. Akira possesses the red DISK, which contains Iron Man.  Tony Stark/Iron Man (Eiji Hanawa) He's Iron Man, you know him! He has a weird face and no mustache in this, though.  Hikaru Akatsuki (Yuichi Iguchi) Akira's older brother, and is the more calm and mature of the two. He possesses the purple DISK which contains Thor.  Thor (Yasuyuki Kaze) Son of Odin and the Norse god of thunder. It's weird seeing his name spelled with only one katakana.  Chris Taylor (Yusuke Kuwahata) The oldest of the five children. He possesses the blue DISK which contains Captain America. Looks like Beat from TWEWY.  Steve Rogers/Captain America (Kazuhiro Nakaya) It's Caps! He's got a movie out right now that I haven't seen yet. Heard it's pretty alright.  Edward Grant (Yayoi Sugawa) The youngest of the five children. He joined the tour on Ryker's Island in hopes of meeting Captain America, who is his favorite hero. He possesses the green DISK, which contains Hulk.  Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk (Kenichirou Matsuda) Okay, so this has a smart Hulk, which I guess is for the best because you can't sell Bruce Banner to kids. Look at them feet, though.  Jessica Shannon (Naomi Ozora) A rich spoiled girl, and the only female member of the group. She possesses the yellow DISK, which contains Wasp.  Janet van Dyne/Wasp (Kaori Mizuhashi) Honestly, I didn't really know about Wasp before this show came along, I'm not a comic reader. She seems cool, and she's the most on-model character in the show.  Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Shinji Kawada) Peter works as Doctor Akatsuki's assistant in developing the DISKs when their lab is under attack by the Crimson Dynamo as part of Loki's plot. After being punched out of the building, Peter dons his Spider-Man costume and returns to aid Doctor Akatsuki and his sons. Does whatever a spider can. Has a movie coming out that I haven't seen the first one of.  Loki (Tadashi Mutou) The main antagonist because this is a modern Marvel production. He orchestrated the plan to use the DISKs to allow all the prisoners on Ryker's Island to escape and to summon them in battle. Is it good? Pft, no. It's the most generic-rear end bullshit for kids out there. But it's remarkable in just how dumb it is and what it does with the Marvel characters. This series is super shoddily animated, with characters that refuse to stay on model and background faces that are just magical. It's a good ol' mockin' bad anime, come on board this crazy train and see how long it goes. The series is being subbed by a group called Marvelous Heroes for the near future, but you honestly do not need subtitles to know what's going on so far. Raws come out about Wednesdays, and Zorak has livestreamed the first two episodes the days after on his Livestream, so I'd keep my ear to the ground for those. Subs for episode 1 Keep in mind that both Marvelous Heroes and Zero-Raws list the show as Disk Wars Avengers and not Marvel Disk Wars.  This thread is sponsored by The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I wonder if all of those heroes were mandated to be used or some of them were actually picked by whoever is making the creative decisions.

Considering Wasp is one of the main characters, and the various B, C and D-listers who've shown up for little appearances I'd say they were probably only mandated to use the Main 4 (Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hulk) and Loki as the main bad. A lot of these redesigns are great, from the 90's inspired Doctor Strange to this sweet Iron Fist  Probably my favorite part is seeing what they've done with the various characters, like MODOK getting a little cape.

They might be Happy Meal toys since McDonald's is a sponsor. I only saw them in a Google search while looking for a good picture of the logo. This is a nicer toy I found.

If this was being made by anyone who was competent episodes 1 and 2 would have been one episode. Also: MORE THAN HALF OF YOU CAN FLY. THE OTHER HALF CAN JUMP REALLY HIGH. HOW IS THIS A THREAT IN ANY WAY.

gently caress fuckity gently caress, this is bad. Very bad. The concept is awful, the dialog is awful, the art awful. Even the English subtitles are bad. They translated "Samurai-kun" into "Samurai boy". Is this an actual Marvel thing? After five minutes I could only picture a flurry of cease-and-desists blasting out of New York and Burbank.

Gynovore posted:Even the English subtitles are bad. They translated "Samurai-kun" into "Samurai boy". That's actually pretty fair localization, really. Honorifics are stupid to leave in, and -kun is just an expression of additional familiarity. Referring to someone as Title/Job-kun is basically informal "job pronounperson", just like Job-san would be "Mr Jobperson", condescending or not. Samurai-kun and Samurai-boy are both smartass things to call someone. Could have gone with "little samurai" instead of "samurai boy" but as far as a fansub goes, it's fine.

Even the opening of the show is ugly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP-j9BHGmHk And when I was watching this, a question came to me. If it was so easy for Loki to get the villains out of the DISKs, what's keeping the Avengers in them that they have to be the kids' Digimon? I mean, just let 'em out. Spidey should know how, he was working on the drat things. Maybe this is explained in the second episode and I just haven't watched it with subs yet.

I really unironically think this is better than AA, even if you taking the show completely seriously. Add in the unintentional comedy (loving Iron Fist, hilarious) and it's leagues apart.

To be as bad as Avengers Assemble, your animation would literally have to be worse than completely motionless stills being dragged across static background with a few distortion lines here and there to indication "action".

I couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow at when the two X-Men representatives were Cyclops and Beast of all people. Kinda surprised they didn't reuse Armor from the X-Men anime a couple of years ago or so.

Maybe the dude responsible for licensing away the X-Men and Spider-man movie rights in perpetuity broke out of his cage at the wrong second and wrote a contract for this before they could lock him back up.

This anime is incredibly bad and I love it. Every element of it makes no sense, it... Feels a lot like the worst of the awful cartoons I loved as a kid, honestly.
