Interesting how the dub had Wily and Light’s Ruby Spears voices (Scott McNeil and Jim Byrnes respectively) reprise their roles. Most people do agree they were the best parts of that cartoon so I guess it fits. Speaking of that cartoon, idk if you were aware but there is a pilot/trailer that features similar animation to this series with game accurate designs. Idk if it was the same animators of the animation was convincing enough but for whatever reason they went with the redesigns in the final product.

It's not a show, and you probably already know about it, but just in case: Archie published a 55 issue Mega Man series based in the game world, written by Ian Flynn from the Sonic comics. It's really good and it fleshes out the world with some "filler" stuff, although they only make it through Mega Man 3 before it gets cancelled. They spent a long time on Sonic crossovers that were pretty cool when we didn't know the book was going to get cancelled, but now feels like it robbed us of some Mega Man stuff. Still, 9/10, would recommend.

Dang, that's a blast from the past. Yeah, I've actually seen the English dub on DVD; that was back when Netflix had just started up and was mailing out DVDs. It was a funny romp back then; the edu-dainment nature is pretty blatant and kinda cringe at times, but man it just made me yearn for a show based on the game portions of the OVA. Which....is pretty much what you said. Cool. (I ended up somewhat filling this want by Netflix ordering and watching the 80s and 2000s Astro Boy anime.) I am also there with you for 90s anime aesthetic feeling nostalgic and just neat. I have a hard time putting my finger on it, it's just cool. The art direction of this OVA is on point and the fight scenes are pretty well animated. I'd just rewatch the opening fights from time to time when I'd think about 'em. What's really crazy is that the Ruby Spears pitch originally used the art direction of this series, but as we all know, that didn't happen. I know I probably lose my Mega Card for this, but I've never actually seen the Ruby Spears cartoon, so I can't really comment on if that art shift would have helped though. Anywho, cool of you to cover this.

It is beautiful compared with US Made one

I don't hate the look of the US show, but I really want a show that looked like this. I saw the pitch video for it and I'm annoyed because it looks amazing.

I'm normally a sub over dub kinda guy.... but I love Scott McNeil's Wily. Nice callback to the (pretty awful) Ruby Spears cartoon where Wily kinda stole the show imho.

I'm sub over dub if I can't get behind the voice acting in the dubbed version. Wily is definitely a highlight of the OVA.

Is it me or does the old early 90s megaman 1 ova remain of more sonic x .
@GottaBeFrank Жыл бұрын
Sort of? He's not a no nonsense hero and there are moments where his personality is allowed to be shown, similar to Sonic.

I love how the characters in this OVA just don't even question the fact that they're videogame characters, like you'd imagine if someone found that out they'd have an existential crisis or something, but nah, Megaman's chill with it and the kid playing the game just doesn't give a shit that he came out of the TV screen and into the real world

What happened to the Gameboy Megaman games video?

Technically, there exists an English version of the opening for episodes 2 & 3 with all credits translated and featuring the classic Megaman logo from the games. Which brings up the question. Did you watch the OVA through a legitimate official DVD or just KZfaq?
@GottaBeFrank Жыл бұрын
I have looked around for an English version of the opening for episodes 2 and 3. Either they do not exist or they're lost. As for how I saw the OVA, I mentioned that the DVDs are impossible to find, so I think the answer is obvious.

@@GottaBeFrank I definitely saw someone's upload of all OVA episodes, each with English credits and logo, here on KZfaq. Maybe those later got taken down. But you can still find the intro for them Episode 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNOJn899mJjZYY0.html&ab_channel=Mega-Ip-Man Episode 3: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hseEgpOUmpysn4E.html&ab_channel=megamanhacka I'm pretty sure that's how it's presented in the actual DVD.

This is amazing! I wonder what happened and why we only see those episodes in English, but with the Japanese credits and logo.
@ScatterbrainPete Жыл бұрын
@@GottaBeFrank Maybe both Japanese and American DVD releases have both languages to choose but the video itself is probably tied to its target region, so you probably need to get the American release to have the English intro and credits. As for why the Japanese version is more common on KZfaq, I'm guessing the American release is that much harder to get ahold of.

Honestly, the animation and sound design are incredible for the decade of anime it is from. Too bad the writing was not on the same footing. Feel like they even had a good foundation for his powers. They just needed to have Mega Man have culture shock more at the worldly things not common to him, not so much the environment. If they were really going to lean on that. Honestly, it is a fun watch, even with these caveats, thanks to the solid action sequences and music. But it could have been a great watch with a better writer. Should have been way more lore involved. Same problems I share with the first Sonic Movie.
