Mega Man

I remember watching this show as a little kid. I loved it back then when it was on. I recently watched an unlock-able episode on "Mega Man Anniversary Collection" for my PS2. It brought back so many memories of watching this show. It may be a little off the games, but that doesn't mean it's bad. So Protoman's a bad guy in this, so what? I still like this show. So basically, the show has the same plot as the games. Mega Man is a robot built by Dr. Light who fights against Dr. Wily and his evil robots. He has weapons such as his Mega Buster and other weapons. So, if you ever catch this show any where, watch it. You won't be disappointed. Also, you can buy this show on DVD now.

I remember this show in a fair bit of detail. The voices, the episodes, the things that were different from the game, the fact that I woke up at 6am to watch it.

It's a departure from the plot of the games, but so what? Until Forte/Bass or the X games came along there was hardly a real plot to Megaman. Imagine for a second what kind of cartoon it would have made

"Wily has made 8 robots again! I better stop him by going though various stages and fight all 8 robots!" Not going to work.

I can see why Protoman was made a villain. The role suits him decently and it's not like he was a total villain (some episodes you could see him inching closer to the good guys). It may not be the Protoman(or Blues if you will) we all knew and loved, but it was still a good character. (Now if Forte/Bass was in the picture that psychopath would have probably taken Protoman's place, but sadly this was before his time)

While there was little in the way of a real plot the individual episodes were pretty entertaining to me when I was 11. I saw the differences from the game but I still enjoyed it. I almost burst into tears of happiness when they finally had X and Sigma on the series (even if Sigma was only on a screen for 10 seconds).

The voice acting was decent and I have trouble picturing Megaman with any other voice, same goes for X (in X4 and X7 X's voices seem so very wrong to me). It's not like we all haven't heard the exact same voices from the same voice actors before but they worked and worked consistently.

The animation was really very good as best as I can remember. I actually prefer the style of it to the anime style of the Megaman EXE series (and it's rare that I prefer american animation over anime style). It just seems to fit the overall theme of Megaman well.

It wasn't a perfect cartoon by any means...but it did manage to wake me up at 6am and it's only one of 2 things in my life that has ever managed to do that.

When I saw this cartoon recently on the Fox Family channel, I couldn't take my eyes off of the television. Sure this series is far away from the video game series, but it is still fun to watch. I give this cartoon 5/10 for helping me wake up in the morning with a few unintentional laughs.

This show isn't even true to the Mega Man games one bit. First off, since when did Mega Man, and all the bad robots have muscles?! THEY'RE ROBOTS! Robot's are not supposed to have muscles! Roll is supposed to be a house cleaning robot not the blue bomber's side kick, and why is Protoman a bad guy? He's a good guy in the video games, so why is he a bad guy in the series? Apparently the people who made this show did not put much care into this series when they should have made it look like the games. In order to follow the games, lose all the stuff I mentioned above.

This show just needed redoing a LOT of redoing.

Yes it's a departure from the Mega Man games. This was made in the early 90s around the Mega Man 4/5 development and release. Which meant that probably they had up to 3 as official reference and maybe some tidbits from 4 and 5. Back then the story was literally: Wily made 8 robot masters, go and defeat them, Mega Man. It also suffered from Westernization like Silly plots , incredibly awkward deviations from the source material and yes,they oversimplified Mega Man's Copy ability. But compared to OTHER VIDEOGAME CARTOONS OF THE ERA like Darkstalkers, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, Double Dragon, to name a few; Mega Man WAS THE MOST FAITHFUL ONE OF ALL. Corny, but it still kept close enough to the source material that it still FEELS like in this case, Mega Man.

Also, to the fool, who said that they hired unprofessional voice actors, check WHO DOES VOICES HERE AND THEIR Careers... Ian James Corlett, Scott McNeill, Terry Klassen, Cary Chalk (who also works on the new Mega Man... Whoops!) Most of the cast are VETERAN Voice Actors. People who had 20 years in the business BEFORE doing Mega Man ARE NOT UNPROFESSIONAL.

It's not perfect, but it's WAY Better than the 2018 one.
