Fans are not happy to say the least. The new
Mega Man series has first-rate talent being it, with Man of Action being a fan favorite studio that's created Ben 10, Generator Rex and Big Hero 6. But trying to modernize a classic video game character always causes a vehement reaction from hardcore fans.With the series being aimed at kids 6-9 years old so a more basic design was to be expected. Still,
Mighty No. 9 suddenly doesn't look so bad. Here's how Deadline describes the series:
"Aimed at kids 6 to 9, as well as parents who grew up playing the video games, the series will follow Mega Man’s newly-introduced alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who, when activated, re-forms into a suit of impenetrable armor. Other characters from the games and new characters, including Mega Mini, will also be featured.
The Mega Man animated series is set to air sometime in 2017, timed with the franchise’s 30th anniversary."
