So this is a thing and already has its first episode out. Basically, Avengers meets your average monster anime. First episode is already out, but no subs yet.

Got to say the art style could have been a lot better and some redesigns are just weird.

On the plus side, it does have scientist Peter Parker.

Don't know what to say, except Scientist! Peter Parker is best Peter Parker. Why the comics haven't utilized this fact, I'll never know.

Hmm. Looks like Toriyama did the character designs.

...damn, now I can't help but see Vegeta!Thor...

Why the comics haven't utilized this fact, I'll never know.

Because it's at least TWO YEARS they are utilizing SCIENCE!Peter?

:huh: Your definition of Science!Peter must be different from mine, because I haven't seen it.

Peter was working as a scientist at Horizon labs for quite a while before he got taken over by Otto.


@Fellgrave: Toriyama had nothing to do with this as far as I know. Character design would have been better if he had.

 

[Fellgrave]

I dunno, Thor and Cap have that DQ/DBZ look to them...

Big Time: Peter making a live by using his SCIENCE at Horizon Labs, which in turn gives him access to much better scientific equipment so he can make even more SCIENCE to help "his buddy Spider-man"

For anyone that cares the first episode of this got subbed and ep. 2 is out.

... this is actually not bad.

Spidey got to be awesome which is what matters, but the other heroes got some moments of their own this time.

I am kind of surprised at how many Marvel characters they managed to fit in this episode: Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Wasp, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Loki, Wrecker, Green Goblin, Abomination and the list goes on.

Edit: Oh, and someone actually translated Cap's speech:

"It's only physical pain, it will fade. But there are other pains that do not fade. A broken heart (Iron Man's love for Pepper who Loki took hostage and forced him to surrender), broken pride (Loki forced Thor to kneel before him to spare civilians). Things that you laugh at. But Loki, one day you WILL face justice for your actions."

1st Ep. Eng Sub is out.

 

[TC_Hazard]

And so is ep. 2 now. Also, episode 3 is out as well, but with no subs yet.

Episode three is great.

Akira: SHIELD? What's that?
Nick Fury: You can say we are an organization that protects peace and keep justice.
Iron Man: *Breaks down laughing*

It's funny that show intended to market toys to japanese kids ends up being better adaptation than Marvel's own cartoons.

 

[ankokudaishogun]

Blame Loeb.
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was practically PERFECT.

 

[TC_Hazard]

New episode is out. Sadly, there are only subs for the first two eps so far.

This is shaping up to be rather good. Loki is now director of SHIELD. His human disguise has a cane which is kind of a nice nod to Thor's past history. Spider-Man seems like he is going to be a mentor figure for the kids and has already found some of the trapped heroes.

Thor is badass.

Also, Iron Man is a horrible, horrible role model.

"Quick kid. While she's distracted use that super powered taser rod on her... but remember hitting girls is wrong."
