5 years ago, Marvel contracted with Madhouse to create 4 anime series, which eventually aired here on G4 (now Esquire Channel) a few months after debuting in Japan.
Iron Man, along with Blade, Wolverine, & X-Men, was set in Japan, but the four series are not interlinked together. Iron Man adheres to the continuity established in the first live-action feature film, which updated Tony Stark's origin and development of his armor to have him held prisoner by terrorists. Adrian Pasdar voices Stark.
Here's the intro to the Japanese version:
I had seen pieces, but not complete episodes. No rating.

I guess that explains Pasdar getting the gig to voice Tony for the current series. He's been pretty comfortable with the role.
I have caught the other anime shows on the old G4 although mostly bits and pieces. It seemed intriguing but it wasn't must see TV - I think there was some disconnect preventing me from truly enjoying it.
I would see something while channel surfing, but it was never enough to get me interested.
