Title: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 04:24:06 I'm not sure if it aired on TV, because I watched the episodes on DVD.
But I just felt curious about what everyone thought of it, if they've seen it. I think it's okay. The art wasn't dazzling, but it was enough eye-candy. (Heck, the theme song animation seemed so good to me I took some screenshots. Unfortunately I'm too lazy to upload them and all, so don't even ask to see them.) However, the storyline was annoying repetitive. Get in trouble with Wily, save the day, and Mega's back at it again in the next episode. Anyone else feel the same? I've included some scans of the covers. And here's a link to an episode guide with some real screenshots. http://mmhp.net/Marketing/ShowList.html (http://mmhp.net/Marketing/ShowList.html) Sorry it's a rival website. I still think MMM is better. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Neo Arcadian Hero on 1 June 2008, 05:56:07 Is that the same anime you can unlock in Megaman Anniversary Collection?
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 06:36:16 I'm sure it is. I can't be sure, however, because I haven't unlocked that in the game. (Let alone, played it at all . . .)
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Lunchebox on 1 June 2008, 07:14:38 Actually that show was American-made, by Ruby Spears production.
In fact, this used to be on TV about... Give or take, fifteen years ago, and was a fairly entertaining show. EDIT: In fact, that show had the best VA for Wily, period. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 1 June 2008, 10:01:38 In a place like this, just assume everyone's seen/played/heard everything you have about MegaMan.
I'm sure it is. I can't be sure, however, blah blah blah Mhm. Yeah. OK. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Abominator on 1 June 2008, 13:59:14 It's neither anime nor good.
It's any cartoon of that era with MegaMan pasted in. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 1 June 2008, 14:50:57 I prefer the "Wish Upon a Star" OVA. Megaman looks better in it.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 17:53:09 It's neither anime nor good. You that crushes childhood memories, tears have been shed. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 18:00:08 I prefer the "Wish Upon a Star" OVA. Megaman looks better in it.Do you think it's available on YouTube? As Mikero has said, I'm not that much of a Megaman guru. Which explains why I haven't seen this OVA. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 18:01:34 It's on Youtube. Just about everything's on Youtube.
But that's not my evidence. I've seen it. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 18:12:22 Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 18:19:51 If it makes you feel better, it was a speedy watch. All I know is that some kid plays Mega Man 5, Wily and Mega Man come to life, giant random samurai robot, OMG HE'S A NINJA, a volcano lol, and uh... the end.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 1 June 2008, 19:34:41 I've been looking for those two DVD's for a while now, but nobody sells them anywhere, not even on eBay, though that isn't an option for me.
It's more out of nostalgia, though. The show is what actually got me into MegaMan. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 19:38:47 I was into video games big time when I was little. I never even knew Zelda had a show, but I loved to watch the Mario Bros. on TV, although it was crap. I only saw one episode I can remember so whatever.
Mega Man was worth watching. Yeah, he had a buff build and didn't really looked like the games but seriously, Mega Man ON TV. #####ING MEGA MAN ON TV. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 1 June 2008, 19:40:28 Dude, back then, that was MegaMan. I played the games and pictured that MegaMan. Big buff muscly MegaMan.
And it totally messed up my perception of ProtoMan. I always thought he was really evil until way later. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 19:42:27 I always thought Proto man was just loyal on both sides, but obviously leaning towards Wily. I imagined Mega Man as a kid, although I admired the Mega Man 2 boxart.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 1 June 2008, 20:03:57 I prefer the "Wish Upon a Star" OVA. Megaman looks better in it.Do you think it's available on YouTube? As Mikero has said, I'm not that much of a Megaman guru. Which explains why I haven't seen this OVA. I know the first of the three episode is in Youtube in subbed form, but I don't think the other two are. I've only seen the first episode. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 21:18:01 I favor Proto in this show over Megaman. He looks more slick.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Neo Arcadian Hero on 1 June 2008, 21:25:32 They look like Robots on roids...
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 21:38:01 Actually, I have watched the anime special. I just didn't know it was called Wish Upon A Star, so I though I hadn't seen it. I watched it on my phone on Sprint TV, in the Anime channels. It should still be there.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 1 June 2008, 21:44:01 I know the one you mean. The American cartoon. I can't actually stomach watching that one, it's almost as bad as Sonic Underground.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 1 June 2008, 21:45:37 It's not bad, it's just generic American Saturday Morning Cartoon formulas mixed with MegaMan.
Bad TV is something very different than that. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 21:47:13 I know the one you mean. The American cartoon. I can't actually stomach watching that one, it's almost as bad as Sonic Underground.Exactly! That's the one! Finally someone understands. It is pretty bad. The animations and the plots sucked. Even the friggin' theme song was repetitive and annoying. The only part I like about it are the DVD covers and the concept art for the theme song. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 1 June 2008, 21:55:00 What do you mean, "FINALLY someone who understands"?
We've been talking about it and acknowledging it throughout this whole thread already. We pointed out that it isn't anime, it's just a generic American Saturday-Morning-Cartoon. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 22:05:35 What do you mean, "FINALLY someone who understands"? Ugh. When I typed in 'Wish Upon a Star Megaman' on YouTube, not knowing I had watched it before, and watched it, I thought it was some sort of older, full-fledged anime, one which you guys were talking about. I didn't think you understood the one I was thinking about. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Neo Arcadian Hero on 1 June 2008, 22:36:40 Wish upon a star sounds terribly like Starforce...
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 1 June 2008, 22:40:09 Except there's a big difference. One's not full of fail.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 1 June 2008, 22:51:09 What do you mean, "FINALLY someone who understands"? Okay, wait, now you're just confusing me because I can't tell who's confused anymore. I give up, this thread will be summarized right now: - Ruby-Spears American MegaMan Cartoon is mainly only good for nostalgic value, and while wildly innaccurate in comparison to actual MegaMan plotlines, it's still a fun MegaMan-themed TV show meshed with the generic Saturday Morning action cartoon formula - "Wish Upon A Star" is the test version for an American MegaMan cartoon in the veign of an anime that was never expanded upon and I've never seen it so I don't know if it's good or not - All other TV incarnations of MegaMan make me want to cringe Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 1 June 2008, 22:56:03 I thought that "Wish Upon a Star" and the promo/pilot for the Megaman cartoon were two different things.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 22:58:28 They are. The Wish Upon a Star thing is an anime.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 1 June 2008, 23:06:49 So was the promo for the American series. The style was changed after the promo/pilot.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Xero on 1 June 2008, 23:14:55 This is the cartoon with Gutsman's Ass.
DUN NUH! Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 1 June 2008, 23:44:29 Wish upon a star sounds terribly like Starforce... It has nothing to do with Starforce. The OVA just happens to have the word 'star' in it, which, unfortunately, makes it sound like it's somehow related to Starforce. Thank goodness it isn't. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 2 June 2008, 00:22:36 The two concepts are separated by around fifteen years; it shouldn't be so difficult to distinguish the two.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 2 June 2008, 03:18:05 MegaManimé sounds cool. And horrible.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 2 June 2008, 03:23:57 I've seen it. He didn't. I was into video games big time when I was little. I never even knew Zelda had a show, but I loved to watch the Mario Bros. on TV ... That was the same show. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 2 June 2008, 03:25:40 I didn't know there was a Mario Bros. show 'till I was older. And yeah, Zelda was part of it if I can recall.
Anyone remember the 3D Donkey Kong show? Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 2 June 2008, 03:30:20 Heyo! Look at the time, you knoow! Here he comes, banana-slamma! Kongo Bongo's heeero! Heyo! Donkey Kong, let's go let's go! Here he comes, banana-slammaaaaaa yah!
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 2 June 2008, 03:58:36 It was the same show? I don't know how I missed it then. I never saw a single episode.
Posted on: 2 June 2008, 03:57:37 Anyone remember the 3D Donkey Kong show? Oh yeah. I do now. Not much though. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 2 June 2008, 04:08:04 It was the same show? I don't know how I missed it then. I never saw a single episode. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr1ju6GoCsY). Monday through Thursday you'd get a Mario cartoon on the show, but on Friday's you'd get a Zelda cartoon. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 2 June 2008, 04:18:39 Never watched it on Fridays then.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 2 June 2008, 04:36:09 Funky was not nearly cool enough in the 3D show.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 2 June 2008, 09:49:52 The two concepts are separated by around fifteen years; it shouldn't be so difficult to distinguish the two.Actually, it's only about a year. The OVA was made in 1993, while the Megaman cartoon aired in 1994. The Promo would have been '93 or '94. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 2 June 2008, 16:07:16 I was referring to Starforce in my sentence, though God knows why I would be doing that. *runs to clean self of filth*
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Kamon on 2 June 2008, 21:48:56 Ah. My mistake.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 3 June 2008, 00:17:57 Anyone remember the 3D Donkey Kong show? I loved it when I was younger. Then I saw a clip of it recently, and I had forgetten that the show was also a musical. o_o Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2008, 00:21:10 A lot of shows back then were musicals.
I hated those parts and I still do. I hate them just as much as I hated Team Rocket's Motto. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 00:53:02 YOU HATED TEAM ROCKET'S MOTTO?
The only per-episode annoyance in any cartoon that I hated was the Digivolutions in Digimon because it took them a whole season to shorten them down. I guess that Sailor Moon transformation stuff would've bothered me, too, had I watched Sailor Moon. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2008, 01:02:25 It was funny at first... but the same damn thing happened in every episode. It got so annoying, I'd mute the scene.
And Ash is ALWAYS SURPRISED. "OMG ITS TEAM ROCKET NO WAY". In fact, this hatred grew so much, I just about ROFL'd when I saw this (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=260). Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 01:07:25 In fact, this hatred grew so much, I just about ROFL'd when I saw this (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=260). That's got to be the funniest parody of Pokemon I've ever seen. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: NovaMan XP on 3 June 2008, 01:15:21 It's sad when he can't tell who they are when they're just wearing clear glasses as a disguise.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 01:27:50 It's sad when he can't tell who they are when they're just wearing clear glasses as a disguise.Well the producers obviously think that the majority of viewers are children that couldn't care less of Ash's ignorance. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 01:44:22 YOU HATED TEAM ROCKET'S MOTTO? No, 'cause they all get naked to do it. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 02:41:30 Well... then.
I'd mute the scene. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BLASPHEMIC THAT IS? The Team Rocket Motto was like, my favorite part. I would stand up and sing it along with them, and it was just like you have no idea how awesome it was. Okay, so I didn't actually do that, but that's like... Muting the scene? Meowth, that's NOT RIGHT. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 02:46:45 First year Animation classes are always full of anime-dorks many of whom get weeded out in the first semester but anyway at Halloween this year we had the usual costume contest for everyone in the Animation program and two gaymos were dressed as Team Rocket and when they went up they recited the entire motto as if people were going to think it was cool and they received NO love from anyone who wasn't in their class.
#####en dorks. I don't know if they're still in the program or not as I never talked to them but there a few people who go to sketch nights that are clearly anime kids. I don't know if they're in/where just in pre-animation or first year but two of them wear goggles and look quite like total rejects. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 02:48:22 Well, that's just silly.
You can't recreate Team Rocket! Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 02:58:33 You can't recreate Team Rocket!Tell that to all the fanatics at anime conventions that dress up like Jesse and James and bring a disgruntled cat for Meowth. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 02:59:22 THEY KNOW. THEY'RE JUST TOO STUBBORN TO ACCEPT REALITY.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 03:28:27 THEY KNOW. THEY'RE JUST TOO STUBBORN TO ACCEPT REALITY.I know. Which is why, in figuratively telling you to 'tell them' they can't recreate Team Rocket, I am indirectly agreeing with you. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 15:32:40 IT'S HORRIBLE.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 16:02:23 IT'S HORRIBLE.Oh, come off it. It isn't that bad where you have to capitalize and use italics. You've been living on the same planet as them for what, twenty something years? And you're still alive, so you might as well be content. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 16:23:55 YOU CAN'T REPLICATE TEAM ROCKET!
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 16:31:03 YOU CAN'T REPLICATE TEAM ROCKET! Well apparently those wannabes have attempted to, and unfortunately you can't do anything about it. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 16:46:27 YOU CAN'T REPLICATE TEAM ROCKET! I CAN QUOTE THE POST ABOVE ME, TOO! Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 16:51:51 Well apparently those wannabes have attempted to, and unfortunately you can't do anything about it. WELL I CAN, TOO. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 3 June 2008, 18:17:54 Well apparently those wannabes have attempted to, and unfortunately you can't do anything about it. YOU ALREADY DID, IDIOT. INCIDENTALLY, I CAN TOO. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2008, 18:32:06 ENOUGH OF THIS TOMFOOLERY ITS NOT REMOTELY FUNNY.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 3 June 2008, 18:41:03 FUN AND FUNNY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I'M HAVING A BLAST.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2008, 18:43:07 THAT'S PATHETICALLY SAD.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 3 June 2008, 18:44:10 DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK THERE.

Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 4 June 2008, 00:54:15 Tomfoolery is correct. But I'll have to admit, reading these posts in which you guys 'yell' at each other back and forth is really amusing.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 4 June 2008, 02:34:52 The little bit between ASR and yourself overloaded my sarcasm detector several times over. After that we just devolved it into random shouting.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 June 2008, 02:37:13 Tomfoolery is correct. But I'll have to admit, reading these posts in which you guys 'yell' at each other back and forth is really amusing. That's how we roll. We keep the rhythm here at MMM. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 4 June 2008, 02:49:36 That's how we roll. We keep the rhythm here at MMM.I've noticed. And it flows very nicely. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Winged Warrior on 4 June 2008, 06:31:00 you needn't quote the person above you.
At least not in that situation. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: preventerWIND on 4 June 2008, 13:38:20 you needn't quote the person above you.ur dum Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Fatso on 5 June 2008, 01:08:58 NO Uyou needn't quote the person above you.ur dum Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: preventerWIND on 5 June 2008, 13:40:08 OH YEAH?!NO Uyou needn't quote the person above you.ur dum Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Winged Warrior on 5 June 2008, 19:37:59 you needn't quote the person above you.

EW NICE FETISH FREAKO!
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 6 June 2008, 00:39:17 Haha, that's a nice one. But literally speaking, you're the one on top of him.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: NovaMan XP on 6 June 2008, 00:40:12 So technically, he is doing it right.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 6 June 2008, 00:49:00 Yes, while saying 'OH YEAH'. That just makes it even better.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Winged Warrior on 6 June 2008, 01:07:58 Haha, that's a nice one. But literally speaking, you're the one on top of him. It's more of a sandwich ;-; Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 6 June 2008, 01:15:21 And you're the cheese. But what I find confusing is that there are two bread slices, in this case Wind. Eh, maybe he just cloned himself.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 6 June 2008, 02:41:18 Well it would be a pretty #####ing poor dream excuse for a sandwich if it only had one slice of bread.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: preventerWIND on 6 June 2008, 03:07:26 Or a regular cheese sandwich, the hell is that. Ew.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Winged Warrior on 6 June 2008, 03:26:00 Well it would be a pretty #####ing poor dream excuse for a sandwich if it only had one slice of bread. Step one, Place cheese on bread Step two, fold bread Step three, Profit. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 6 June 2008, 03:29:04 First off step 2 is always "?????". And that's not even a sandwich, folded bread. That's crap, you're crap. That is a crap meal.
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Winged Warrior on 6 June 2008, 03:31:01 ... And your saying you can't profit off of crap?
#####, I'll be right back, I gotta make a few calls to capcom, disney, and George Dubya. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Mikero on 6 June 2008, 03:40:59 War ≠ Crap.
War = Peace. Everyone double-thinks that. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: ASR on 6 June 2008, 03:52:30 STEP TWO IS ??? YOU PUBEFACE
Sorry, had to reinforce. Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: The Otaku on 6 June 2008, 04:47:58 So if WW is crap, then it'd be a crap sandwich. Right . . . ?
Title: Re: The Original Megaman Anime Post by: Winged Warrior on 6 June 2008, 05:53:00 Wouldn't it be more like a pie, because crap is all squishy like a filling?
WW is crap ;-; |
