Description:
Look out! A power-mad genius and his gang of evil robots are trying to take over the world, and no one can stop them...no one, that is, but MEGAMAN! He's a young action hero with nerves of steel and a robot body and the power to mimic any weapon he sees and use it for the forces of good. Together with his robot sister Roll, and their faithful cyber-pooch Rush, Megaman jets into battle with fists and plasma-bolts flying! Watch them take on the meanest bunch of bionic fiends this side of the future, including the scissor-headed Cutman, the brawny Gutsman, and Megaman's own robot brother Protoman, who's vowed to turn our hero to the dark side or take him out of commission... permanently.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This show is so cool
I remember watching this show as a kid and thinking "I WISH I WAS MEGA MAN! POW POW BANG! YOUR DEAD STUPID ROBOT!" When I put this DVD in my player, I had the same feelings. Megaman will always have a special place in me, because he's so cool. When have you ever gone out against a maniacal scientist genius and an army of giant killer robots armed only with a buster cannon and stupid puns? Megaman has. He kicks those robots cold hard metal rears, and then STEALS THEIR POWERS! The sheer madness of it is great! I dont watch this show because im looking to find something that will get an award, I'm looking for a completely stupid anime show with terrible jokes and robot smashin' action. Megaman will always be one of my heroes and a source of mindless entertainment.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - okay this is an okay show
1.okay this is based off of megaman 1-4 or 5 and 1 epsiode of based off of megaman X
2.okay i think the reason they did not make Megaman 6 7 8 and 9 an amie was becasue the show ended when Megaman 5 was still out i think i mean it would be nice to see Bass Duio Trouble and Centuro Man and Sword man but ahhh somethings come to a braking point look at fatal fury they didnt Relse Road to Victory and Mark of the wolfs amie evan thought those were the only 2 left why i dont know i dont care


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A beautifully mindless experience with dashes of Mega-niftiness.
Sure, you kids have your fancy-schmancy Megaman: NT Warrior (or Battle Network Rockman.Exe for you darned Japanophiles) with its high-tech computer graphics and its God Almighty budget animation, but when I was a kid, I had the REAL Megaman cartoon to watch. And frankly, I feel you're all deprived.

Y'see, the original Megaman cartoon had in its favor an unidentifiable charm to it, a charm that anime usually lacks. While Megaman: NT Warrior may have a running storyline, the original cartoon had the basic US cartoon premise of "bad guy attacks, good guy smacks bad guy, cue canned laughter, roll credits"; a feature that I feel we should see more of. While I enjoy coherent storytelling, sometimes I just want to sit down and watch something I *know* is stupid. Sometimes I wanna see laughably bad jokes and mindless animated violence. Sometimes I want to see goofy robots get their titanium backsides handed to them while watching the hero make sarcastic comments about just how awesome he really is at doing his job. You certainly won't find THAT in your anime, kiddies.

Sure, it's not exactly always accurate to the games, but who are we to complain? It's not as if the games were literary masterpieces to begin with, so one shouldn't hope for Shakespeare when watching this, or any other cartoon for that matter.
I highly suggest this DVD, people; it's got fair-to-great animation, great voice acting done by the Ocean group, and many, MANY bad jokes that'll make you roll in laughter for the wrong reasons. Also, they made Roll hot. What's there to lose?


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Japanese drawn the characters but the American's wrote it.
Megaman should be megaboy cause really his human living tissue looks like a boy and his size and voice. Megaman is a robot who saves the world from the evil Dr. Wily who creates robots to take over the world. Megaman had sidekicks his robot sister Roll and a robot dog Rush.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Maybe 2.5 Stars for Fond Memories
I love Mega Man, and I loved this show when it first aired in 1994. And I was stoked when I first got my hands on this 3-disc DVD set. However, that elation didn't last all that long.

What it boils down to is that it's kids' stuff, and I'm not a kid anymore. And I wince when I hear the heroes spouting off cliche one-liners so frequently that James Bond himself wouldn't be able to stomach it.

On the other hand, the cool factor remains--seeing the robot masters that I loved so much in my youth on the tube still remains a treat. For that reason, I don't regret owning this set. And I don't think any Mega Man fan would. But nevertheless, before you buy, just remember that my disposition is sentimental, and has nothing to do with these Mega Man episodes being of high quality...because in all honesty, they really aren't.
