Capcom has made an exciting announcement for fans of the Mega Man franchise in Japan. The US-made cartoon series of Mega Man, known as Rockman USA, is set to be fully released in Japan, allowing fans to experience the unique American twist on this beloved series.
Originally debuting in 1994, this animated series brought a distinct “Americanized” flair to Mega Man and his sister Roll, captivating audiences with its unique adaptation. The show incorporates iconic robot masters from Mega Man 5, and it even features cameo appearances by Mega Man X and the formidable Sigma.
The series was a collaborative effort by Ruby-Spears Productions, famed for their captivating animated creations like Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-Doo Power Hour, alongside the Japanese studio Ashi Productions, who more recently gained recognition for their work on 365 Days to the Wedding.
All 27 episodes of this “super fighting robot” series are set to make their way to Japanese screens. Last year, Capcom tested the waters by releasing the first season for streaming, and to their delight, it was met with enthusiastic reception from Japanese fans. This positive response has led to the decision to roll out the entire series, including its much-loved second season.
For English-speaking enthusiasts eager to relive the nostalgic adventure, the full 27-episode series is available online, providing fans everywhere the chance to enjoy this classic animated tale. With the show’s upcoming release in Japan, it’s a perfect time for both old fans and newcomers to dive into this electrifying world of Mega Man.
