Done out of boredom, I was watching the Iron Man Anime, and realized there are a lot of scenes straight out of the Iron Man movie, or at least relatively similar to the movie.
Unfortuantly I could not find the pictures to match these scenes, but if anyone wants to find them and post them in the comments section feel free.
For the most part the getting captured, building armor, etc. are the same. Even Tony's house is pretty similar to the movie.
In the episode below you can see everything more clearly (including a race car strikingly similar to IM2's).
The premise for Iron Man Anime is set 5 years after he becomes Iron Man (which in movie years I believe is 2010), so there is still time for new stories to appear.

Now for Ultimate Spider-Man, we havn't seen or heard much, but we do know that Clark Gregg reprises his role og Phil Coulson and Nick Fury is black.
But Gregg did recently say this:
Now that is not a confirmation, but I take it as a subtle hint..... And if this is coincidence or not, the voice of Iron Man in
Iron Man Anime has confirmed he will be voicing Iron Man once more in Ultimate Spider-Man.
NOTE: this is also Marvel's first Spider-Man series that they are creating themselves.
If my theory is correct then:
Blade Anime
X-Men Anime
Wolverine Anime
Iron Man Anime
Ultimate Spider-Man
Iron Man 1 & 2
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
and The Avengers would make up the new MCU
So is this just a clever way of having Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Iron Man in one universe besides the comics or just a bunch of coincidences? You decide in the comment section!
