Canadian Category B specialty channel family CHRGD is getting into a bit of an older audience for its latest anime programming with 2010 Marvel/Madhouse collaboration Iron Man scheduled to premiere Saturday May 7 at 11:30am (et).
Acclaimed comic writer Warren Ellis wrote the outline, with Death Note's Toshiki Inoue writing the adaptation. Redline's Takeshi Koike was in charge of the pilot, with Yuzo Sato (Kaiji) helming the actual series.
About the Show
Billionaire CEO and engineering genius Tony Stark comes to Japan to build a pollution-free reactor based on his arc reactor technology. While holding a press conference, Stark announces his retirement as Iron Man and the introduction of a new model of Iron Man suit to be piloted by others. Just as Stark conducts a test flight of the new Iron Man suit, a mysterious robotic weapon appears and attacks Stark. This is only the beginning of a series of attacks by a high-tech organization called “Zodiac”, and Tony Stark must suit-up to defeat them.
