Why did they go with that face? I've never hated something so much in my life and I don't even really care all that much about Mega Man.

My thoughts seeing thread title: Oh yeah, I remember reading there would be a new show! That's neat! *click*
My thoughts as I scrolled down to the poster: Jesus fuck nevermind

The designs don't work for me, but I guess I am not their target audience.

This is like the 5th redesign megaman has had, they really are having a hard time nailing it down.

I find it hard to get worked up over something Cartoon Network is likely going to send to die in its early bird weekend slot eventually, anway.

At least we got MM11 to look forward to.

I can't possibly imagine this being received well. Hell, I still remember the old 90s anime they put out and I find hard to believe this will be better than that, but let's see. That face certainly isn't doing any favors though.

Looking forward to it! My kids have been getting interested in Mega Man from seeing me play the Legacy Collection games. The time is right for a new Mega toon.

why is it that whenever a video game gets a tv/movie adaptation it feels like the first thing the people making it say is "ok how can we make fans of the games absolutely fucking hate this"

How fucking hard is it to just draw a fucking megaman? He looks like a little creep in that art. Sonic Boom made all the characters lanky, but fuck at least they got the faces 100% right.

Kirby fans got pretty lucky.

Honestly even though the anime was pretty decent it's still not true to the games at all. Kirby went from being a badass who regularly saves the galaxy from eldritch abominations to being a dumb baby who can barely be considered the protagonist of his own show.

What is this thing with making cartoons look as cheap as possible? I'm looking at this , the new ninja turtles and thunder cats.
