a great anime boxset
This is an excellent DVD boxset - available at a very reasonable price. It consists of 3 animated series (Wolverine, X-Men, and Iron Man) and a 1 animated movie (Avengers Confidential: Black Widow / Punisher). Each of the series is approx. 4hr 30mins long, and the film is about 80mins long. This collection is made-up of the recent 'anime' Marvel productions (the only series not included is that of Blade: Marvel Blade: Animated Series [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]).These are artistically excellent, with a somewhat unique stylistic interpretation of the characters. The storylines are complex and engaging - and, overall, this is fantastic entertainment. It's adult orientated (not because of sex scenes, but because of the level of violence). What's great is that the various animated series all cross-over - with events seen in one having an impact upon the others.If you're a fan of these characters, I thoroughly recommend this anime boxset.

This is a great value box set as the series has 12 episodes ...
This collection has 3 marvel Japanese anime series based on wolverine,the xmen and iron man + a avengers anime film. This is a great value box set as the series has 12 episodes each so u have almost 15hrs of entertainment.The only downside side is there is a forth anime series based on blade which this box set has missed ,I would have more rather had this series than the avengers anime film but I guess blade isn't popular enough now to release in the UK. Even with this big loss this collection still deserves five stars

Highly Recommended.
This is an awesome set containing three TV-series (Wolverine, X-Men, and Iron Man) and a stand-alone movie (Avengers Confidential: Black Widow and The Punisher), for a very reasonable price. All the DVD-s are fantastic, and they offer a treat not just in the visual sense, but also from the POV of a story-lover. All the features are subtitled, and despite the obvious tilt towards Japan in all the events of the TV-series episodes, they are immensely enjoyable.

A bit cringeworthy
The English voiceover was quite bad and I cringed the whole time I watched it. The plot was not very good either.
