Mega Animation

I've always thought that the best way to portray Mega Man is through cell animation, Anime to be specific. I'm not a big fan of Anime but for some subject matter it is very appropriate. There was an American animated Mega Man cartoon series and it wasn't bad; however, it took artistic liberties with the design of the characters in order to give a more "American" look to it.

When it comes to the an animated version of Mega Man (or Rock Man in Japan) I really want it to be literal. Here are a few animated clips of cartoons that I think hits right on the nose.





And just for fun, here's the first Japanese commercial for the first Mega Man game.
