As if Wolverine and the X-Men didn't mutate (bad pun) Logan's image enough, now they had to throw it overboard.
Wolverine is Marvel's second attempt at trying to milk the fans with a lifeless action flick that ends up being nothing other than an insult to the homonymous character. It further proves how they should spend their precious funds on making something new and exciting instead of throwing a name in the title and expecting people to buy it no matter how bad it is. And it is very bad.
First of all, the lead character doesn't look bestial enough, and I don't mean the sexual deviance. In the west, he is portrayed as rather grumpy, unshaved, and rude character while in the anime he is this young bishonen with a taste for fashion. Meaning, he looks far less GAR. And as if that isn't enough, nothing of his past is shown in the show. You know, all those events in the recent live action films and how he is old enough to be your grandfather. It's as if he is a completely different character who shares the same claw weapon, but is otherwise gayer and has no backdrop story.
In fact, the only flashback we have about him, is fighting with Omega Red. Yes, there is Omega Red in this series and he is presented as a useless grunt, a minor sub-boss just to stall time and attempt to make the fans feel like this is really Wolverine. Yeah, right…
Anyways, the story is about Logan's woman being kidnapped by some yakuza organization, and so he heads to beat the crap out of them and save her… Did I just describe the average story of an 80's beat 'em up videogame? Maybe there is more to it? Like a mystery, or a plot twist, or generally something more than just this pitiful excuse of a scenario… Nope, it's just that. Was someone actually paid for the script or did they just play Double Dragon with one player before sitting down to write the whole plot in 10 seconds?
So what exactly is Logan doing for 12 episodes if the story is two lines long? Well, look at that, he is fighting random goons and is constantly saved by a chick. Yes, that's right, the mighty Wolverine in need of a woman to save him all the time. And she is not even a powerful mutant either; she is a mediocre fighter who throws chakram every time the plot requires for Logan to end a battle that lasts too long. Other than that, she is nothing but fan service.
Storytelling is dreadful. Every scene is dragged to last as much as possible and the outcome of a battle or a dialogue is completely random. I mean, Logan had a hard time beating Omega Red for 3 whole episodes and finally did it only because that chick remembered she had a throwing weapon. But the second time Omega returns brand new to fight him again, he gives out this oath of vengeance that makes you think he is now more powerful than ever and that the rematch will be even harder. Guess what; he got defeated in 3 seconds and without even the need for the chick to use her chakrams. I guess Logan gained 125 levels in a few hours and scored a critical. What a load of crap…
The second goon he faces is this samurai assassin, who sprouts swords out of his palm. Is he a mutant or Harry Potter to be able to do that? I think Wolverine takes place in the Darker Than Black universe, where superpowers are more loose in their logic. And why introduce this new guy with zero characterization when there is always Silver Samurai? Oh well, Omega Red had a face that made him look like a kabuki theatre actor, and his weapons were tentacles. Who needs Silver Samurai after that XD ?
Anyways, Logan fights this stunt samurai in, like, 4 different occasions and in the end he becomes his ally because another goon hits a girl. He had a code of honour you see, to always avenge those who hit little girls. I guess being paid to kill innocent family men has nothing to do with it. What a load of poop…
That said third goon is a generic robot statue which ejects javelins. And no, it wasn't a Sentinel; just some generic robot guardian in some castle. It was hard enough to withstand any attack but then it opened its mouth and the rest is history. So much for super enhanced technology if they can't even come up with a simple face guard.
And did I tell you about another yakuza organization aiding Logan in his attack on the enemy palace? It was not done so to take out a powerful competitor but because the leaders of the group want to avenge the death of one of their own. But of course; if it weren't for that detail they wouldn't have a reason to destroy their major opponent; would they now? What a something of something…
The facepalms don't end here; no sir they don't. Out of nowhere appears Cyclops as cameo to take Logan on a trip. He was used as nothing but foreshadow for the upcoming X-Men anime in the same fashion Logan himself was cameo in Iron Man. Do I see a pattern forming here? But whatever; he was completely useless to the plot; he conveniently appeared after the battle was over. And apparently we couldn't have a nice team up with him and Logan fighting an empowered Omega Red or the robot guardian, despite the show's constant attempts to slow down the pacing with dragged action as much as possible.
If there is an improvement over that dreadful series that is called Iron Man, was how the action is a lot more exciting. Iron Man would mostly throw energy beams from afar and block incoming attacks with his armour. Logan on the other hand fights with hand-to-hand attacks, which are far cooler. He also doesn't have super hard armour surrounding his body and all arrays of bullets pierce him all the time, covering him in blood and bruises. He of course heals almost immediately but it is still cooler this way. Plus, he performs several acrobatics and uses basic martial arts in battle, when Iron Man would just fly in the air.
Other than that, the action is still lifeless, as the amount of time it takes for a simple attack to take place is dragged out to last three times the normal, with the characters standing frozen and looking at each other. Plus, the transition from one scene to another is usually off, as the combatants have different poses and positions in each one. Most grunts he faces are cannon fodder and the rest are beaten because some weak chick constantly throws metallic thingies at them which somehow are more effective than Wolverine's super claws. And as for Logan, he can beat a hundred goons only because he is healing super fast but as soon as weakling throws a tiny poison dart from behind, he is out cold. Also, for no apparent reason he is able to defeat far more powerful opponents than him after a couple of attempts. I guess he grows stronger faster than the Saiyans. Hooray for tactics, it's all random mumbo-jumbo!
The music score is of the exact same quality and volume with Iron Man, which means I DIDN'T LIKE IT! It doesn't feel passionate enough to excite me and the dialogues are nothing of importance to the story, since it is so simple and linear that you could watch the whole thing in mute.
Bottom line, it was all one big failure that only manages to damage the image of Marvel and anime in general. Avoid at all costs.
Onwards to X-Men. Third time's a charm.
And now for some excused scorings.

Piaget ultra-thin watch movement
Piaget was a pioneer in the history of ultra-thin movements, with its famous caliber 9P hand-wound movement and caliber 12P self-winding movement. Both pieces were ranked thinnest in their category worldwide at the time of their launches in 1957 and 1960, respectively.

"It's not the same job now,'' said Murat Pandzic, who has worked at the mortuary for 28 years. "It was horrible to see. So many people were killed, so many that we often could not fit them all in. I would rather have been on the front line than here at that time."
The men sat outside in the sun. Yesterday, the dimly lit mortuary was empty. The day before, it had contained the victim of a sniper. "We have occasional war dead now," said Redzo Grabovica, a man of suitably mournful aspect. "But we have a lot of suicides because people's nerves are shattered. They can't take the pressure and they kill themselves. Or, they get into fights and kill someone else. This is what follows from war."
After three years of the war, two spent under shell-fire, the city lives on its reserves and the black market. The hope of rescue by a foreign cavalry is dead. Many who wanted to leave have done so, replaced by refugees alien to the old Sarajevans. Others have grown resigned to imprisonment, lacking the connections or the cash to escape.
But, many of the remaining Sarajevans believe life in limbo at home is better than exile. "I had the chance to go, but I didn't want to, and I don't regret that," said Hilmo Hebibovic, who was working at the Holiday Inn on 6 April 1992, when Serbian snipers inside the hotel shot dead several people at a peace demonstration in the street outside. "I don't want to be forced to ask someone else for bread or mercy."
Both commodities remain available in Sarajevo, the latter to a surprising degree among a people bloodied and bowed.
"Everyone knows Bosnia is for three peoples - Muslims, Serbs and Croats," said Vahid Cavcic, a middle-aged soldier who said half his unit was made up of Serbian soldiers. But he said: "Only the army can bring peace."
The government appears to agree, breaking the four-month truce recently with attacks to recapture land and pressure the Serbs into talks. It is unlikely to achieve its objectives in the next few months.
"We don't think about tomorrow, we don't even make plans for next month, because we don't know what will happen the next minute," said Alma, a woman who works for an arts organisation. "It's better now, as there's less shooting. But still, time has no sense here."
The unfamiliar calm brought by the Nato ultimatum to the Serbs in February 1992, coupled with the opening of a road out of the city, raised hopes last year. As the summer passed with no sign of a solution, expectations died and resentment grew, even as material conditions improved.
The supply of running water, electricity and gas was erratic at best, non-existent at other times. Now, a limited current supplies most houses, and water and gas are available every few days. Three television channels broadcast news, sub-titled films and British comedies, including Blackadder, Monty Python's Flying Circus and Only Fools and Horses.
Basic consumer goods are available but expensive, thanks to black marketeers. Work is badly paid and restricted to the public sector (the army, police, bureaucracy, hospitals) or the service industry (cafs, restaurants, garages, shops and workshops). Almost everyone is a trader, cutting wood on the front lines for sale in town or selling possessions to buy food. The luckiest, those who speak English or French, work for the UN, the aid agencies and the journalists, and get real money.
Fuel is expensive. But taxis bounce along the pot-holed, heavily shelled roads that formerly were the preserve of foreign armoured cars. Police regularly stop drivers to check papers or to chastise those who break the rules. Bursts of gunfire scatter pedestrians at dangerous intersections and snipers still claim their gruesome prizes. But, the city survives.
"We have to fight to the end to stay independent," Mr Cavcic said. "If we don't have our country, we will be like the Kurds, in an enclave." His colleagues at the mortuary agreed.
"I don't think it will stop now," Mr Pandzic said. "We do what we have to. We have to stay here. That is our destiny."

Re: Endorsements for President
What Beaver said. The Wisconsin State Journal editorial board endorsed Romney/Ryan today. Not exactly a surprise, but yet another reason I'm determined to never pay for that rag. Anyway, their writing is considerably worse than "USA Today." No matter; a few months ago they started charging money to post commentary on their web page. I knew then I'd never cough up another dime for them.

Shocking enough, in fact, that Drudge highlighted that the "liberal Wisconsin State Journal endorses Romney".
Ah, yeah...

Taiwan is a bad place for entrepreneurs: NDC
By Bernie Su ,Special to The China Post July 12, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The National Development Council (NDC) has said that a recent report classified Taiwan's entrepreneurial environment as the third-worst in Asia, better than only Bhutan and Nepal.
The NDC recently submitted plans for a program called HeadStart Taiwan to the Executive Yuan for approval, hoping that Taiwan's entrepreneurial environment may be improved while moving global talent, funds and knowledge back to Taiwan. The council aims to achieve this by means of deregulation, creating an entrepreneur gathering zone and strengthening international connections.
NDC Minister Kuan Chung-ming (管中閔) said that Taiwan's entrepreneurial environment is so immature that it is unable to attract global talent and prevents global capital from flowing to Taiwan, due to its restrictive policies.
The report says that Taiwan's entrepreneurial environment and legislation are out of date, and the ecology of entrepreneurial endeavors is at a very immature stage, preventing Taiwan from exercising entrepreneurial power.
Seeking to change the entrepreneurial environment is about moving into the second-tier, instead of competing with top-tier nations, Kuan said, adding that this can be achieved through deregulation. Taiwan will not see much progress and it will be just empty talk if there is no adjustment to local land taxes, the legal system, industry reform and the relation between mainland China and Taiwan, Kuan said.
Kuan led colleagues in the NDC to consult with a Singaporean who once helped build Hong Kong and Singapore's innovation and entrepreneurial environment. The NDC wants to find out how to build a better innovation environment in Taiwan. Singapore is considered the most innovative and entrepreneurial country in Asia.
According to the HeadStart plan, Taiwan will refer to Singapore's BLK71 and the UK's East London Tech City to establish its own entrepreneur gathering zone. The Taipei Expo Park will be the center of the nation's endeavors. In the first phase, the area will cover 3,000 square meters, and it will extend to over 9,000 square meters in the future.
The NDC will publicly select a private management team in the future, and introduce various resources, including venture capital and business professionals. The NDC aims to promote Taiwan's brand image of innovation and entrepreneurship by holding various activities in the future.
