Imagine a mutant shojo clutz with super powers…Wow…

From ANN –

Madhouse to Create 4 Anime with Marvel Comic Heroes
…Del Rey is collaborating with Marvel to create an X-Men shōjo title…

Ray’s take: how about rogue looking like Peach Girl with her awkward power in a Japanese high school? Hmm…Or maybe storm is the oneesama, the head of the student council and the chair of the storm chaser (har har har) club? Do you fan girls out there wanna imagine Woverine being this angsty bishonen who pick fights but blushes a ton when he sees Rogue Yamzaki (yes, I made up that last name)? Cyclops being the sports guy that all the girls dream over? What about Jean Grey being the bookworm heroine?

…I don’t, but hey, my ideas don’t sound so bad, at least not to me! But an X-Men shojo title? Boy that’ll be a field day for us in our podcast.

But it sure sounds nice enough to have Madhouse do a project of that magnitude. Now which convention should these future titles belong to? Comicon or AX/Otakon/etc?

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.
