A perfectly decent start that leans straight into Warren Ellis-style corporate espionage. Madhouse delivers exactly what you expect! A crisp mecha line art and distinct flight physics. It's nothing groundbreaking, but the political setup is solid enough to keep you hooked.

While lacking a bit of oomph at the beginning, the introduction to our beloved Tony Stark is solid enough to establish the character we know and love. Things really start picking up from the middle of the episode, and before you know it, everything escalates very quickly. Overall, it's a solid introductory episode.

They got Tony Stark's play boy attitude down pat, the voice actor had the charm, wit, and charisma that embodies Tony Stark's very nature. The animation is nice, the 3d animation was a bit clunky. The art style is sharp, clean, and has a mature look to the characters, setting the tone of the series.
