>No Roll
Wait, what?
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Shut up Boco.
Reminder that everything weird about this show exists because Capcom gave explicit orders to NOT have it be like the games.
>Capcom gave explicit orders to NOT have it be like the games
That's based, though. Game adaptations are best with their unique twists and changes to establish a new identity. Otherwise, why not just play the games instead?
>Capcom making retardish decisions
that's nothing new
This, otherwise you end up with Archie Mega Man with its 8 issues of Rock commenting on level gimmicks and fighting bosses eight times in a row
alright let's do this, since I actually watched the fucking thing.
>No Roll, just occasional references to Roll.
more like background references. Aki has a human sister, the point proven being that humans and robots can co-exist together.
>Rush has eye-beams and flight, but still manages to be useless.
he's a pet sidekick. what do you expect from him, deep backstory?
>Chip tunes.
shiet I thought this was a videogames cartoon
>Aki tries to keep his identity as Mega Man secret from Dr. Light somehow.
he knew all along.
>Obvious rewrite late in production to make Mega Man not just a human with armor.
sure m8
>52 episodes but only 13 robot masters. Or 10 since 2 weren't really evil and 1 was just a joke character.
fair complaint I guess. smaller casts are easier to handle tho
>Sob-story for almost every robot got old fast. With Air Man they didn't even bother.
doesn't apply to everyone, Blasto Woman, Elec Man and Chemistry Man were just jerks
>Clark Kent's glasses-tier superhero disguise.
not even going to glorify this
>Most episodes are badly paced and some seem to have chunks of story missing.
easy complaint
>Half-hearted explanation for why Mega Man keeps his identity secret at all.
does he even need it to be more than that. it's a superhero show.
>Never bothers explaining why Dr. Light would have a robot son and biological daughter.
again. robot-human relationships
>Copying the personality flaws of the robot masters along with their weapon got old really fast.
hell no, that was an interesting new plotpoint. Aki learns from his enemies, not just beating them into submission.
>Otherwise, why not just play the games instead?
Clearly you've never played a Mega Man game before.
Adaptations of each individual game in the franchise is an utterly retarded idea. Mega Man is a really simple concept and the Ruby Spears show got the formula right; Dr. Wily has a scheme for world domination, and Mega Man stops it. That's it. That's all you need for a good adaptation. Fully Charged could have just been a completely original IP if the names weren't taken from Mega Man.
>No explanation for Mega-Mini turning Aki into Mega Man.
why the fuck do you need an explanation for this?
>It had a parody of Burger Time. It could have been a modern game or at least an old Capcom game.
noncomplaint
>The closest thing the show has to a backstory is crammed into the end of the final episode.
actually plenty of episodes had backstories to the events prior to the series. a human-robot war broke out and Dr. Light was involved in it, that's also where the villain of the series, Breaker Night comes from. if you haven't noticed by their names, they're supposed to be ideological opposites.
>Bad dialogue in general, not just "Meganize Me".
k
>Never bothers explaining why robots would need to go to school.
another thing that doesn't need an explanation.
>Plots get repetitive when they usually focus on 1 robot at a time.
welcome to episodic cartoon format
>Aki seems to be the only robot that looks perfectly human. It's never explained or addressed.
Doctor Light is the premier leader in robotics and he built Aki. methinks that's why
>General character and plot stupidity.
...
>Pixel art.
so?
>The plot of most episodes feel like shitty after school specials.
this is getting tired
>Capcom gave explicit orders to NOT have it be like the games
this is pretty much true. I appreciate the effort they put turning Mega Man into an action cartoon even with all the limitations that Capcom put on them, the robot masters don't look so different that you can't tell who they are. even AirMan is still a pair of angry eyes with a fan built into his body. I know fans think they want a direct translation of the game into animated form but that's just limiting the potential of a serialized animated series. Mega Man has so many characters, robot masters, weapons, etc. there's no need to separate them into different adaptations of each game. we could have all the fire Robot Masters team up if only Capcom allowed it.
Really the biggest problem with the show is that unlike Sonic Boom is treated climate change as if it actually exists.
Why Even Bother?: The Show.
>more like background references. Aki has a human sister, the point proven being that humans and robots can co-exist together.
Roll could have been human if that actually mattered. And there was an episode where they put on a play about Mega Man, with Ashley dressed-up as Roll in the play simply for the sake of that background reference.
>he's a pet sidekick. what do you expect from him, deep backstory?
Being upgraded by Light to be Mega Man's companion, despite Dr. Light supposedly not knowing Aki was Mega Man just made things weird.
>shiet I thought this was a videogames cartoon
Chiptunes suck. It's only good for nostalgia, and the target demographic isn't old enough to be nostalgic for the games.
>he knew all along.
That doesn't change the fact that it doesn't make any sense for Aki to even keep it a secret from Light. How Aki even became Mega Man in the first place was never explained, so the viewer is just left to assume Light built him that way.
>sure m8
Mega Man originally being written as a human with armor makes more sense for a number of the stories.
>fair complaint I guess. smaller casts are easier to handle tho
I'm sure it was more a matter of toy sales than for the writers, because they ran out of ideas fast.
>doesn't apply to everyone, Blasto Woman, Elec Man and Chemistry Man were just jerks
Chemistry Man had a sob-story, it was just a bad one. I did like crazy war veteran Wood Man though.
>not even going to glorify this
The secret alter-ego thing was just there for the sake of being there.
>easy complaint
Stories missing important chunks that are needed to make sense are an "easy complaint"?
>does he even need it to be more than that. it's a superhero show.
So what? Not every superhero needs a secret identity
>again. robot-human relationships
So Dr. Light having a biological daughter and conveniently also builds a robot son the same age doesn't strike you weird?
>hell no, that was an interesting new plotpoint. Aki learns from his enemies, not just beating them into submission.
But when he has to learn the same shit over and over again it gets old. Especially when after the first or second time Mega Mini says he fixed it but it didn't stick for some reason.
>why the fuck do you need an explanation for this?
So you're saying to be a superhero he needs a secret identity, but not an origin story explaining how he got his powers? You're retarded.
>noncomplaint
It's a good example of how the writers clearly don't give a shit.
>actually plenty of episodes had backstories to the events prior to the series. a human-robot war broke out and Dr. Light was involved in it, that's also where the villain of the series, Breaker Night comes from. if you haven't noticed by their names, they're supposed to be ideological opposites.
I meant the origin story for Mega Man.
>k
The only decent dialog in the show is the abundance of puns, simply due to volume some have to be good.
>another thing that doesn't need an explanation.
A robot can download information into his brain, but also needs to go to school? And does badly at it?
>welcome to episodic cartoon format
Even the Ruby Spears cartoon wasn't nearly this formulaic.
>Doctor Light is the premier leader in robotics and he built Aki. methinks that's why
Yet it's never mentioned at all in the show or even questioned by any of the characters. Everyone just knows at a glance Aki is a robot. Its shit like this that makes it seem like there was a rewrite.
>...
Everyone on the show is a goddamn retard. The few times they aren't really stand out.
>so?
See the complaints I have about chip tunes. Pixel art is no different, and the pixel art in the show was shit.
>this is getting tired
But it really does seem like they started with generic shitty after school specials and wrote episodes around them.
>this is pretty much true.

Did you worked on the fucking show or something? I don't think anyone with 2 functioning braincells wants different adaptations of each game. Like I said before: Ruby Spears was a decent adaptation.
Based
I mean that’s essentially a standard Shonen plotline. Fight through a procession of villains before taking on the Big Bad. You can make those kinds of plots great. If YuYu Hakusho can make it work so can Mega Man.
I mean it did give us the unlikely pairing of an insect sized asshole and a big fat ugly bitch so that’s an accomplishment
Fuck, marry, kill
Megamix/Gigamix did it right
From what I've seen of the show, it's closer to the Zero manga. Not quite as bad since they seem to have put some effort in, but still off the mark.
That's easy. Fuck Chaotique, marry Suna, kill Ashley. The hardest part is remembering their goddamn names.
So it's just like with the western DMC. Devs wanted to make a more faithful version of Dante and Capcom told them to make him radically different. Same thing happened with Sonic Boom.
I dunno about DMC, they seemed pretty cocky about their approach to Dante and the whole "Dante's not cool anymore guys, but Edward Cullen totally is" thing.
They wanted white hair Dante and Capcom rejected it. Capcom wanted something drastically different because they felt that it would resonate with western gamers better than more of the same. They were horribly wrong and it's not even the only time they did that.
>Capcom gave explicit orders to NOT have it be like the games.
Why? Why do so many video game adaptations have to stray so far from the original source material? The Mario and Sonic movies had this problem too, despite Miyamoto insisting that the former had the opposite problem.
Mario started with a more faithful script that was thrown out by the shithead directors that used the studio's desperation to get what they wanted. Those directors have since been blacklisted. Sonic's design was chosen by executives that wanted something different for some reason but thankfully they gave in and allowed a redesign that unfortunately led to the closure of the studio that did the changes.
