I've seen much worse. And honestly, I sort of like the hammy over-the-top nature of it.
But my point is that, in addition to a very basic synopsis, that clip is all we have to go off of, and it's not a lot. I want to see more so I can make a better judgment. The suspense is the worst thing about this.

So this is going to be in the same vein as that new Sonic cartoon?
No.974015

Not really. Sonic Boom is more like an animated sitcom with action, whereas Mega Man is a "school-setting" type cartoon with action. They're both aimed at the same demographic, so unless Man of Action really fucks things up, there shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Last year was a big anniversary for tye character in Japan… I think. Osaka's branches of Mandarake were pushing the shit they had of him in display cases by the door, anyway (including the megadrive game for about 50,000 yen). Maybe this project was mooted for the anniversary but cancelled?

>Aimed at kids 6 to 11, as well as their parents who grew up loving the video games, the new Mega Man animated series will feature exciting new technologies and robots, as well as the introduction of Mega Man’s alter-ego, Aki Light. Aki is a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who has nano-core technology that allows him to transform into the mega powered super hero Mega Man! With his Mega Buster arm cannon and iconic helmet, Mega Man battles the wickedest villains Silicon City has to offer. Beloved characters, such as Mega Man’s robotic dog, Rush, will return – while new characters, like Mega Mini™ and Suna Light, will make their debut!

Something like the Archie Comic. No double-life school bullshit, just fun adventures with little nods here and there to franchise-history and maybe an overarching theme of how robots and society affect one-another and the question of robot free will.
Nothing of what I've read fills me with confidence. Changing his name to "Aki" instead of Rock gives me the impression they might not know very much about Megaman as a series. And Mega Mini, just from the intro, sounds like he's gonna be like Captain N Megaman with a less scratchy voice.

But robots don't have emotions anon, the only thing they have is their own programing and unless they came up with a way to set their own commands and wishes we couldn't see what they would actually do as living beings, so any fictional representations of such robots will only be an echo of humanity in the creators image.

You could even argue that even if we get a robot self-aware, it won't mean much if it won't try and create its own commands and intiatives. We as humans are just animals with self-awareness and logic but robots are programmed with logic in mind at its core, yet there is no living part, no hydro-carbic part that produces will to do anything other than the commands given to them. Even if we could make one that knew everything, there is no guarantee that they would actually do anything of their own accord, to do that we would have to understand how humans and life as a whole works before reverse engineering that into robits or get really creative/lucky.

Comic-Con exclusive prints for Mega Man: Fully Charged have debuted, showing stylized versions of the final designs of Rush, Fire Man, Elec Man, Wave Man, Cut Man, and Drill Man, along with two new robots, one of whom looks to a main/recurring villain of the show and the other may just be a redesigned Air Man or Wind Man.

Has there been any word of Roll being in this?
I almost dread it because in this current year there's no way she'll be stuck cleaning house.
Have they confirmed if it's gonna be episodic, as in, a robot master per episode?
I really hope they don't fuck this up. These two images restore a small amount of faith, but I know better than to hope.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but the bad guy in the background, who I assume is Sgt. Night, vaguely reminds me of Zero, or like a proto-proto-Zero. It's the blocky shoulder armor and spiked helmet. I doubt it'll go there though. Can't imagine they'd do anything related to X this early.

There hasn't been a direct confirmation on an episode, but it's heavily implied with the premise of the show (Mega Man balancing school life with fighting robots). The staff has also confirmed that there are a lot of robot villains, so it's most likely going to be an episodic action series with a slight amount of slice of life elements.

I hate this. I already knew about it though.
But there's at least 88 robot masters from the games, so there's plenty for them to use for episodes. I wonder if they'll use the Yellow Devil. Hopefully the action will be good.

He just walked away in the middle of battle too. In the middle of battle, he leisurely strolls over to some ginger, and gets fucked over. And minishit's fire man joke just falls flat. I think they're trying to copy Sonic Boom's style of humor. Oh, and there's the token nigress, being a token nigress. At least she doesn't talk in this preview. I hope she dies in episode one so the "nigger dies first" tradition can live on.
