![]() The plots of each episode are relatively standard fluff for action shows of this type, and the voice acting has an admittedly talented cast shout almost every single line of dialogue in an increasingly grating way. In terms of faithfulness to the source material, the show arguably has more in common with the infamous box art to the original 1987 video game than any of their contents. If the premise sounds familiar, that’s because the show has less in common with the video games and more with the numerous action series with a premise that boils down to “wake up, go to school, save the world.” Man of Action seems to have mashed up the franchise with their own work on the “Ben 10” franchise, along with elements of numerous other animated works involving robots. Living with an adoptive sister named Tsuna, Aki must balance the challenges of daily life while defending the city from an onslaught of malfunctioning robots. Rather than the usual alter ego of Rock, this time the role of Mega Man is held by Aki, the adoptive robotic son of Dr. Unfortunately, the result brings nothing new to the table and lacks the unique fun of its video game source material. ![]() ![]() The character of Mega Man previously had a handful of animated TV series in the 1990s and early 2000s, as well as a role in the 1980s cartoon “Captain N: The Game Master.” Now, this American/Canadian/Japanese co-production is an attempt to update “the Blue Bomber” for a new generation. While not the worst animated TV series of its kind, it is still a highly-derivative and painfully mediocre show that does little to improve the unimpressive track record of “Mega Man” in animation. “Mega Man Fully Charged” is the latest animated adaptation of the “Mega Man” video game series. ![]()
