Spider-Man: Arachnophobia (スパイダーマン：アラクノフォビア) is an Anime directed by Yamada Katsumi[1]. It aired on TV Tokyo.[1]. The Anime was created with Stan Lee's and Ryoichi Ikegami's permission, as an adaptation to Ikegami's Spider-Man: The Manga[2]. However, Marvel has never considered letting anyone translate or dub the Anime, because they consider it "Too Dark"[1]. Ironically, Spiderman: The Manga was being translated in English around the same time the Anime was airing in Japan[3], and was just as dark, although it was heavily edited. The entire Anime was made in CGI with Cell Animated Backgrounds, and shares a similar Anime Style to Superior Defender Gundam Force. The Anime has never been leaked, and the only way to obtain a copy of the VHS is in Japan. The Anime has never had re-runs in Japan since it's end in 1997, due to a seizure incident similar to the Pokémon Shock and YAT Anshin! Uchū Ryokō Seizure Incident[4] and hasn't even been released on DVD or VHS outside of Asia.
