Mega Man: Fully Charged Premieres Next Month on Cartoon Network
We knew that something was cooking for Mega Man in terms of a new animated series starring the Blue Bomber, but now we have all of the details on Mega Man: Fully Charged, which is set to premiere on Aug 5 on Cartoon Network.
During Comic-Con this week, DHX Media unveiled new information on the cartoon, which you can read all about via a press release from DHX Media themselves:
“Just in time for the 30th anniversary of the legendary video game character, Mega Man is returning to TV in an all-new, amped-up animated series,” says Josh Scherba, President, DHX Media. “We’re confident fans both old and new will love this new series, as they follow Mega Man’s fast-paced adventures, beginning this summer.”
“Following Capcom’s announcement of the new Mega Man 11® video game, we are thrilled to be launching an exciting new animated series, Mega Man: Fully Charged,” said Yuichi Kinoshita, President & CEO, Dentsu Entertainment USA. “From TV and YouTube to video games and toy shelves, Mega Man will soon be everywhere kids are watching and playing. “Mega Man is exactly the kind of hero we need right now,” said Joe Kelly, Executive Producer/Story Editor, Man of Action Entertainment. “Optimistic, inquisitive and more focused on helping others and understanding adversaries than just locking them up. We love this character.”
With the launch of the show will come with it: action figures, Halloween costumes, and playsets all based on the Blue Bomber. With Mega Man 11 right around the corner, it seems that we will be seeing a lot more of our favorite little robot. Whether or not this show will actually succeed is yet to be determined, but getting a television adaption of a popular video game series again is always cool to see.
