I just learned that Marvel and a Japanese animation studio called Madhouse are teaming up to create a re-imagining of Marvel stories and characters for a Japanese audience. I like a lot of the stuff Madhouse has done in recent years, like the new Vampire Hunter D movie and the psychological thrillers of Satoshi Kon, so I'm interested to see what they come up with.
Here's the link to the article.

Isn't it?
Marvel seems to be expanding into a lot of areas. I'm kind of surprised DC isn't doing the same...

Actually DC did do something similiar. 6 Japanese directors and Anime studios made Batman Gotham Knight. I highly recommend it.(now I just have to wait 2 years for Marvels version)

A friend of mine visited Japan last spring and said she saw Usagi and the Ninja Turtles on TV over there, so it's not entirely impossible.

I've heard that the show was canceled after the Battle Nexus episodes.
TV Tokyo's Mutant Turtles site.
