Unknown to many people, the comic company Marvel Comics and it's leader Stan Lee have been working together a lot more than any regular person might think. Stan Lee is a fan of Japanese comics and animation. He even invested his own ideas in the creation of the hit shonen manga Karakuridoji Ultimo, a story of the battle to find which force is stronger, good or evil. He also created the anime TV show Heroman, was produced and aired on Japanese televisions, but takes place in a west coast city in America. So it is not much of a leap to have Marvel Comics green light four anime series of their own, which are: Iron Man, Blade, X-men, and Wolverine.
Not only Marvel Comics, but American TV series are getting an anime-makeover. Such as the live action show Supernatural, about the Winchester brothers hunting demons. Another famous TV series for kids was the Powerpuff Girls, which was so famous it was turned into an anime called Powerpuff Girls Z. These are just a few of the ever moving and popularity growing transfers of American creativity to the masterful Japanese animation.
