Are You Excited For The Upcoming Mega Man Animated Series?
Because the internet is definitely not impressed. News of a Mega Man cartoon being developed was reported by Coming Soon, stating that DHX Media Ltd. and Dentsu Entertainment will be producing, distribute and manage the licensing together for the new Mega Man animated series.
If you haven’t seen the new Mega Man design, here it is:
The cartoon will focus on Mega Man‘s alter-ego Aki Light and since the animated series is targeted towards younger audiences, it makes sense to for the design as kid-friendly as possible.
Fans of Mega Man, however, were less receptive of the new design.
watch capcom throw mega man back into the vault because everyone thinks this cartoon looks hideous

That new Mega Man cartoon looks like Capcom saw yesterday's Mighty No.9 trailer and sneered, "Oh yeah, Inafune? We can top THAT."

With Mighty No. 9 looking like it won’t live up to the hype, another misstep by Capcom will probably put things in perspective for Mega Man fans around the world.
