Jedi Gigolo:
Wolverine wasn't bad, in fact, I liked it.

Basically you need to throw out western standards and think how these western characters would fare in an anime style universe.
When looked at that way, it's not bad at all....well...I never finished X-men after they brought out the Japanese girl...

I tried viewing it from a Japanese perspective, but when you take somewhat interesting and developed characters set in a world defined by American culture and social issues since the 60's and reduce them to flaccid stereotypes it begs the question as to why you're trying to adapt this at all.

It would be a far far better thing if they ignored everything and just made their own Marvel universe from the ground up, using themes and characterizations representative of their sensibilities. Marvel is premised on alternative universes, they try different styles and ideas often to varying effect.

Jedi Gigolo:
I think that's why Wolverine worked so well because there was already some of the Japanese mythos built into his character background.
