A South Park quote, have we. Well, it was off by one word, but for good reason. ^_^; Nonetheless, don't bother paying attention to anything put out by magazines that don't actually cover video-games on a regular basis. What they do is not bother with video-games and then, out of the blue, decide to write something about them in order to get attention. And if Nintendo put enough trouble into having a press release about their mention in Entertainment Weekly, it seems EW's marketing scheme worked. They'll do it again next year and they'll get the same reaction. (OK, so my prediction contradicted my suggestion, but it doesn't alter the purpose of my post. Nya.)

TalkBack / Mega Man Animated Series Premieres This Month

« on: May 01, 2003, 03:27:02 PM »

Wow. Believe me; erase any visions of that crap the MegaMan cartoon may have put in your head, because the Rockman.EXE anime, or rather MegaMan NT Warrior, is one of the best animes I have ever seen. The animation is superb (just as good, if not better, as the games' production artwork), the music is great and fits every mood, and the story is filled with humor, action, and surprises. It's by far the best MegaMan cartoon ever developed (and it's about time). And since we're on the subject of blue heroes and sudden promotion, Sonic's new anime called Sonic X has been airing in Japan recently (since April) and it's just like the new MegaMan cartoon: great and superior when compared to the crappy US products we have. Either way, you'll definitely be missing out if you, well, miss out on these two great animes.

The anime has been airing in Japan for over a year now and has already ended with 56 episodes... the anime was picked up by ShoPro Entertainment months ago and they've been airing commercials on Kids WB for weeks now. To sum it up, this is pretty old news. Nonetheless, it's a VERY GOOD anime, which will probably boost MegaMan's much-needed popularity in the states.
