Definitely not one for the purists this anime is a new variation of te old Iron Man stories. Essentially Iron Man is in Japan trying to create an arc reactor to give the country free and sustainable energy while an organisation known as zodiac is tring to stop him. The storyline is excellent with interesting characters, dynamic events and impressive enemies. The dialogue however lets it down a little as there are many pointless dialogues that do not help to develop the storyline or characters. The excellent animation makes up for this, with beuatifully drawn mechanics and excellently rendered combat scenes. Personally I like comedy style anime with direct jokes so I found this anime a little less interesting than others. Still if you enjoy a good storyline and great animation this is an excellent anime for you. (show less)

After all the iron man series attempts, this one finally shows some promise of being a series that doesn't have a story line for middle school students or action that insults ones very perception of physics with scenes that seem like they're from a poorly choreographed, low budget 1990's Power Rangers episode. All in all exceptional animation quality, story leaves a bit of depth to be desired so far, (but what 1st or 2nd episode of a new series doesn't?), very entertaining, and above all it captures the witty banter and sly humor that captured the hearts of so many in the recent Iron Man movies very well. 10 out of 10 for now, the only criticism being the slight lack of real story, conflict, and character development we anime veiwers love O so much.
