Marvel announced on Monday that it is creating a new television anime series titled Marvel Future Avengers. The new series will air on the BS (broadcast satellite) channel Dlife this summer, and will be intended for a young male audience.

The anime will follow Makoto, a young boy who gains superpowers due to an evil gene manipulation experiment. Makoto and other youths join the Avengers as apprentices named "Future Avengers." The anime will show Makoto and others as they train, fight villains and grow, under Avengers members Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Wasp.

Additionally, Teruaki Mizuno (Kyōryū Taisen Dinobout, Metallica Metalluca) is drawing a manga version that will debut in Shogakukan's Bessatsu Coro Coro Comics Special magazine's April issue, which ships on Tuesday.

Marvel previously teamed up with Madhouse to create the Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, and Blade television anime series. All four series aired on the G4 television channel in the United States, and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released all four series on DVD in North America in 2012.

Marvel and Madhouse also created the Iron Man: Rise of Technovore film in 2013, and the Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher film in 2014.

Marvel and Toei Animation most recently collaborated on the Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers television anime series, which premiered in Japan in April 2014.

Toei also collaborated with Marvel on the 1978-79 live-action special-effects (tokusatsu) version of Spider-Man. Kodansha published Ryoichi Ikegami's manga re-imagining of Spider-Man in Monthly Shonen Magazine, while Marvel itself created the Mangaverse comic project.

Even if I was a younger kid... I'd still think this would be trash.

Good luck though. Hopefully this isn't trash.

 

[Helznicht]

This will be measured against Next Avengers.

Well, there's certainly nowhere to go but up after these atrocities.

I do like that second pic a lot, Cap looks goofy as hell but in a good way.

 

[OmegaSmash]

So a Disk Wars redo with the same designs? I mean, sure, but I was expecting/hoping for some Mangaverse nonsense.

 

[Jaeger]

 

[ATXAlchemy]

This will be measured against Next Avengers.

Holy Shit, Ben10 finally up'd his game to be in Avengers.

And who's that fake Thor behind him?

 

[Meia]

Marvel trying to break into that My Hero Academia....money.....?


I'm confused by this thing I'm seeing.

 

[neorej]

Love Hulk in this picture He looks like a muppet

 

[caliph95]

So basically Avengers Academy/Initiatives the anime that had sex with My Hero academia

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

He looks like a beyblade character.

 

[Seesaw15]

Why does iron man have an Iron Man eye on his chest?

 

[dh4niel]

This just makes me want a Young Avengers animated series.

 

[Nephtis]

Oh god it's gonna be a trash anime isn't it

Just like the previous Wolverine and Iron Man animes were. And they started out so fantastic too *cries*

 

[Zolo]

So MC = Captain America apprentice, Green shirt = Hulk Apprentice, and Blonde kid = Thor?

 

[kurahador]

Urghhh...

 

[Trickster]

Was slightly intersted until i heard about the random anime heroes

 

[Kinyou]

The kids look like Digimon characters and those heroes are their digimon

 

[caliph95]

Funny this this is the second avengers anime that tries to appeal to the shonen/pokemon anime.

 

[Nightbird]

Yeah, i'm gonna stick to My Hero Academia.

 

[enzo_gt]

 

[Zolo]

So since the blue-haired kid is the CA apprentice, does he get to be Captain Japan?

 

[Instro]

It's ok, duckroll will watch this so we don't have to. It's in his contract.

Well, there's certainly nowhere to go but up after these atrocities.

I do like that second pic a lot, Cap looks goofy as hell but in a good way.

The X-Men one was decent enough. Wouldn't touch the rest though.

 

[BassForever]

The anime artwork looks good, but the manga art work looks like someone randomly added a beyblade character to a marvel shot.

 

[VariantX]

Thought they already did this with disc wars and that fell on its ass.

 

[caliph95]

I guess second chances

 

[jph139]

You know you loved it.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

The X-Men one was decent enough. Wouldn't touch the rest though.

This is the only anime version of the X-Men I can get behind.
Cry for the moooooon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nudull]

Did Marvel Disk Wars bomb?

 

[The Salt Life]

Could have made a show based off of the avengers academy video game, missed opportunity if you ask me, I probably won't be checking for this. But will probably pop it on one day in the future, when it's on Netflix and I have insomnia at 3:15 am

 

[HStallion]

Marvel should just do some mash up/cross over comics. I'd love to see the Jojo's out smarting Tony Stark in his Stand Buster armor.

 

[Garlador]

The X-Men one was decent enough. Wouldn't touch the rest though.

I'm still in love with that Storm design...

Hubba hubba.

Not sure what I think about this new Avengers anime. The disc one was "interesting" to say the least.

 

[Tom Nook]

Hoping for more of the Madhouse version.

 

[ArchedThunder]

So no word on what studio is making this?

 

[Savitar]

I like how the Avengers look.

I loathe how the kids look.

 

[Dandte]

He looks like a beyblade character.

First thing i thought.

 

[Penguin]

Ha I feel the way folks feel with DCEU when it comes to Marvel animation, I wanna be excited for their projects... but it has just been a recent string of disappointments.

And looking at their past anime-esque projects in OP....

 

[KimiNewt]

Every previous anime Marvel stuff sucked, and this seems even worse.

They should either commit to the anime "style" and just do a standard by-the-books Marvel show (not "Avengers, but with a generic shounen protagonist!"), or make basically a normal cartoon with anime-style animation (not that I'm sure that can be good either; just bring back Spectacular Spider-Man plz).

 

[Lifeline]

I wanted more animated DC/Marvel stuff, but this doesn't look very good.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Gotta lower your expectations for lots of Marvel Animated projects.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

This is like Marvel's third attempt at anime.

 

[7Th]

The kids look like Digimon characters and those heroes are their digimon

They literally already did that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDjL_F8yTtY

 

[Toki767]

5th actually I think lol

 

[SRG01]

Gotta lower your expectations for lots of Marvel Animated projects.

Yeah, Avengers EMH was probably their best to date, but that's not saying much considering most of their second season was absolute trash.

 

[Shanlei91]

This will be measured against Next Avengers.

The storyline to this was pretty bleak considering the art style.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Even if I was a younger kid... I'd still think this would be trash.

Good luck though. Hopefully this isn't trash.

Yup. This sums up my thoughts perfectly.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

The only Marvel anime I need are the Japanese X-Men intros.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

NoThanks.gif

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I'm still in love with that Storm design...


Hubba hubba.

Not sure what I think about this new Avengers anime. The disc one was "interesting" to say the least.

I actually really loved the designs in the Xmen anime, but this...

The anime will follow Makoto, a young boy who gains superpowers due to an evil gene manipulation experiment.

I already know will be trash

 

[EPaul]

Why did they have to put kids in it
