About this show

Billionaire CEO and Weapons Engineering genius Tony Stark comes to Japan to build a pollution-and-fuel-free reactor based on his arc reactor technology. He chose Japan because of the presence of "Lab 23"- led by Dr. Chika Tanaka with whom Stark gets involved romantically - the world's sole owner of the necessary technology. While holding a press conference, the media and Defense Minister Kuroda become suspicious of his motives. Stark announces his retirement as Iron Man and the introduction of a mass-production model of Iron Man to be piloted by others. Just as Stark conducts a test flight of the new Iron Man suit, a mysterious robotic weapon appears and attacks Stark. This is only the beginning of a series of devastating attacks by a high-tech terrorist organization calling itself "Zodiac." Stark must confront Zodiac amidst media bashing and political pressure from Kuroda.

Not sure why so many commenters dislike this without watching it. If you haven't seen it, don't review it. It's pretty good, and I compare it to being Iron Man 1.5 if you want to take the movies into consideration. It's not great, as the voice acting is a little rough and sometimes (but not too often) awkwardly bad, but the animation is great and the story is decent.

Haven't watched it, but the description is not complete. I don't see what year this season was made, the voice actors, etc. I don't even see a short video or a single picture that tells me the quality of the anime. Since I don't have any valid information about it, I seriously doubt I'll like the content. Thanks for trying though.

Yet another rehash of the genesis of Iron Man mixed with anime monsters and woe-is-me, misunderstood characters. Beyond episode 1 it's predictable and even annoying at times. Save your money.
