NEWS: Discotek Adds 1994 Japanese-American Mega Man TV Show

I haven't seen much of this show, but it looks neat, it's cool to see Discotek pick up some American cartoons. I wonder how they were able to pick this up.

Now if this does well enough for D-tek to Justify saving the Darkstalkers Cartoon as well as the Darkstalkers, Megaman, & Sonic The Hedgehog OVAs, well that would be just awesome!

Is this the show with Gutsman's ass?

Please tell me they'll get the Upon A Star OVA next.

Nope, only 27 episodes were made (the show got high ratings, but apparently ran into budget problems).

"Super fighting robot... Mega Man!"

Soundtrack as later heard in the Westwood dub of DBZ!

Glad to see this get saved I have the first ADV Kids set, but never was able to track down the second. So glad to see the whole thing avalible again.

And yeah, its a pretty cheesy cartoon, but its fun.

Yep, between SSB4 & this, today is a good day to be a Mega Man fanboy!

I recall it only airing on the weekends Just checking Wikipedia, I see it was posited as a weekend morning cartoon that local stations could pick up in syndication so that part makes sense. There was two seasons worth of roughly 13 episodes each (though the second season had 14). They weren't pushing this as a five-days-a-week thing though I'm sure they were heading there.

Good lord that cover-art.

Anyway, that cartoon was realy bad. It wasn't anything like the games. Rush talked like Scooby Doo, Blues was evil and working for Wily for no discernible reason when he's a good guy in the games. They tried to make Roll some "girl power" stereotype but still made her weapons like vacuum cleaners and cooking pans which might have been a parody of the whole 'girl power' thing I dunno, but it was pretty silly and self-defeating of the whole issue.

I'd rather they release EXE and Ryuusei uncut and subbed here, but I guess that's too wishful thinking.

I don't what "Mega Man" show TitanXL was watching,but it sure wasn't the one I remember. One of his immense errors was that Mega-Man was working for Dr. Wily. He wasn't.

TitanXL also complains about Rush sounding like Scooby-Doo. Well,the American company responsible for this series was Ruby-Spears. The owners of this studio helped create "Scooby-Doo" It's not terribly surprising that a little bit of that would influence the character of Rush.
