The release of Avengers: Infinity War was the biggest moment of the Summer movie schedule, and is definitely going to dominate many conversations among fans for the rest of the year.

But what fans did not expect from Avengers: Infinity War was how many of its moments made fans think of different anime series throughout. As Thanos battled different Marvel heroes, its slick production and fantastical battles made fans think of anime scenes rather than the comic books of the original source material.

It's certainly an argument for a live-action anime film to work out the same way given the same amount of care and attention.

Read on to see what fans are saying about Avengers' anime flavor, and let us know if you spotted any anime inspired greatness in the comments!

I like all the avengers movies because they feel like anime ovas to me. That’s my take as a person that the only connection they have to marvel is the MCU and Marvel Vs Capcom games.

#movies Avengers: Infinity War. It's an ambitious, brilliant movie.

Thanos is an incredible character. He is 'human', and pays due respect to Iron Man and Cap at different pts of time, in a trope right out of Japanese anime, which I love dearly.

Avengers infinity war was great. Excited to see where they go from here.

Side-thought, but Avengers is starting to feel super anime. Over the top and awesome.

The Avengers theme not playing in the Marvel Studios title card in Infinity War is like an anime episode not playing the OP. You know shit gets real.

I watched new Avengers. It's anime. It's like a My Hero Academia sequel set 15 years later when Deku can grow a beard.

Trust me, from the way i see it.
The second part of the Avengers Infinity Wars is going to have a very similar feel with the Dragon Ball Anime.
