Madhouse is a studio with varying levels of quality to their anime. I've talked about their work with Marvel in particular before with Blade being the only passable one and both Iron Man & X-men being bad. Well, they also did an Iron Man OVA and that's what we're looking at today. Why? Because I'm a comic nerd and even if Madhouse absolutely fucks it again I'll have plenty to say about it.
Story:
The narrative starts simply enough. Iron Man is planning to launch a satellite that can be used to monitor the entire planet, but totally won't be used to watch you pleasure yourself, as a crime prevention tool.

The movie started so amazingly well, with the characters, art and all.
But the end? The last third of the movie was a mess. Things weren't explained, at all, and it felt like they decided incoherent was better than giving the movie another half an hour to properly execute the final scenes. I'm so disappointed they would let a perfectly good film go to waste like that.
All in all, I enjoyed Iron Man and War Machine, Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up to take down Iron Man, and even the Punisher, although I only know the guy by name.
With a little (or, a lot) of polishing in the end, this would have been a fantastic animated film. As it is, the grand finish was as flat as a pancake, and not nearly as satisfying.

Yes, it’s MARVEL anime time again and believe that the stakes (or the anticipation of it) are somewhat high or low considering as I said before, no one has that much positivity for the Marvel/Madhouse anime, and yet I’m one of those people (at least the one who reviewed two of them so far) and now here comes another one of these collaborations and if you think it’s going to be their last one, I wouldn’t kid around that since I heard there might be more of these coming. Let’s hope this one is a step-up, if not, they need to go back to the drawing board.
In his Iron Man armor, billionaire Tony Stark prevents an attack from a mysterious new foe. Unfortunately, innocent bystanders are killed, including his best friend War Machine, Lt. Colonel James Rhodes. Detained for questioning by S.H.I.E.…
