How much of the dialogue is going to be actual Japanese? I'm guessing not a lot, since American audiences don't like to read.

That'd be sad. If that was true then we would say people didn't bother watching X-Men First Class because we were too lazy to read the subtitles of German, Swedish, French, and Russian words

X-Men First Class took place almost entirely in one country where most of the inhabitants speak one language that isn't English?

I'm referring to the practice of studios choosing to keep the general language English for the English-speaking audiences in favor of switching between English and non-English languages. The whole "It's okay, I know your language, so we don't have to converse in mine" thing when an English-speaker is in a setting where everyone else speaks a different language. If Wolverine goes to Japan and talks to Japanese people, I would expect him speak for more than a sentence in Japanese. But if they switched up the languages in First Class (haven't seen it), that bodes well for Wolverine II.

[/quote]There was no Swedish in First Class. there was Norwegian in Cpt. America, though.

Haven't watched the first one yet. Should I?

I never even saw that anime. How is it?

I expected it to be more of a comic cartoon series, but they overdosed on the anime action sequences. For instance, Logan can now jump like forty feet in the air. He fights alot of samurai in it, along with other Japanese warrior-types. It wasn't well played out like the X-Men series, but it sufficed for a one-shot anime.
I only recommend it if you're willing to watch alot of useless filler, like the original Naruto series.

This was already an anime called, "Wolverine". It is now aired in the U.S. on G4TV. A movie adaption seems quite fit, though, the Iron Man equivalent was complete bullocks.

This isn't based on the anime; it's part of the established film series.

I'm mostly concerned with continuity here. First Class ignored continuity, and there are plans to make sequels to that, so it would be more glaring to have this and First Class 2 be released. This isn't the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so they need to make sure that this can work with the original trilogy as well as First Class.

for meeting when they're 17, First Class 2 will probably say that happened, but then both their memories got suppressed and neither could remember anymore

for the building of Cerebro, First Class 2 will just say Beast's version was so crappy by Xavier's standards that he didn't consider it the REAL cerebro

for Mystique infiltrating the mansion and all that, First Class 2 will probably just say she got a memory wipe that erased all but the mansion's location of everything

The Emma Frost in First Class was obviously a different Emma Frost in X-Men Origins Wolverine, First Class 2 will probably say it was a cheap clone off the original Emma Frost

In the Cerebro machine, I only remember seeing young Storm, although that made no sense either because she shouldn't have been born yet. First Class 2 will probably say that's not the real Storm

As for Wolverine not knowing, well that was due to the Adamantium bullet he took in X-Men Origins Wolverine which greatly suppressed his memories
