It's Japan. If you don't have a kid for audiences to relate to their good old days of youth, they don't want it
Because anime or at least shonen anime

This anime and manga are directly aimed at young boys, so of course the protagonist is going to be a young boy. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it.

Because the Japanese domestic market can be somewhat difficult to break into, but has a lot of potential value in it. Honestly not sure how well Disk Wars did, so it's hard to say what the perspective for this project may be in relation to that (whether trying to further capitalise on the shonen demographic, or specifically trying to avoid being a merch series after failing to properly compete).
What I find slightly curious in this is the lack of specification of anime partner studio. It could be the info on that just has yet to be revealed, but it makes me wonder if Marvel may actually be trying to handle the animation side of things themselves. Which I mean, if so... uh... good luck, I guess.

Maybe it will work this time.
Because they want to eat on the My Hero Academy audience.

Yeah, she had a great design.
And she was in the best one since the X-Men one was pretty cool.

This almost look like a parody of anime

You can aim properties at young boys and not necessarily have them feature young kids...American comics have done it for decades

Didn't they already try this premise with the Disk Wars anime from a few years ago?

I'd totally be on board for a Marvel anime if it looked like the Japanese X-Men opening.
The anime projects they did a few years ago were dull as fuck. Even the motion comics on Netflix are more entertaining.

I love Pokken!
Cancel all this shit, Avengers Assemble and Ultimate Spider-Man. Then start a new season of Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Sad that I never got to see Disk Wars (I was waiting for an English dub which they DID make... but never released here). I heard it's actually a lot of fun especially compared to the the likes of Assemble
Nah, Assemble's recent Civil War 4 Parter justifies its existence. Way better than ANYTHING in EMH S2.

Here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to watch the Civil War 4-parter. Then come back here either praising you, giving thanks for your recommendation...or return claiming EMH is indeed the best and your opinion is poo.

Sounds fair. Before someone finds an old post of mine to try and embarrass me or something, I've been way more tolerant of Marvel Animation. I enjoyed SMASH and USM despite recognizing the flaws and Wacker in charge has only made things better, but I HATED the first season of Assemble (barring a couple kinda descent episodes). I don't want to make it sound like it's DCAU level or anything (it does remind me of the Cadmus arc in JLU though) but I think anyone who (rightfully) passed on it when it first came out should really give it a shot.

Superheroes are mainly aimed at kids.
I don't think the Japanese youth are into American superheroes all that much.
The last few times I was in Japan I visited some toy stores with my daughter. I didn't see any kids around the Avengers or the Disk Wars stuff. Maybe they're hoping to capitalize off MHA's popularity?
