[QUOTE="Villano, post: 2090827, member: 505"] I was wondering about western-style superheroes in anime myself. My guess is that with the success of Spider-Man and X-Men as films, we will see some of that influence in new anime. Anyway, I agree with the first Project A-Ko, especially for the joke at the end. And don't forget Battle Of The Planets (aka, G-Force). Also, if you have G4TV, check out their late night anime show Anime Unleashed. They are currently running a series called Gad Guard. While the main charaters don't have superpowers, they do have a western superhero feel to them. The characters hang on to these 15 or 20 foot tall robots called "Gads" to fight. However, they wear homemade costumes (no transforming in a flash of light), and go on nightly patrols to fight crime. Since it's on TV, it won't cost you anything to take a look at it. :) Maybe Cutie (Cutey) Honey? She an android with the power to assume the form and powers of different occupations. Sounds weird, but if she, say, needed to fly a helicopter, she would turn into a pilot and know how to fly it. There was an episode where she turned into a pro-wrestler to win a fight. :D There's a live-action movie which I really want to see. I'm not sure about its status concerning a US release. Oh, and Giant Robo has a bunch of superpowered characters. I thought they were more interesting than the robots. Other than that, I don't know. I suppose you could look at some of the fighting game animes out there like Fatal Fury. [/QUOTE]
