Synopsis

"This Anime (Episode 2, to be exact), where Rockman travels from the Game-World to the real world, to learn some cultural differences about Japan, was intended to be a Special Episode for the original Mega Man Cartoon Series by Ruby-Spears, which aired around 1995 in the US.
As it seems, the special was finished before Ruby-Spears decided to redo their whole show with a completely new design, better suited for American audiences.

Thus, not fitting the new style anymore, it never was included in the series. Still, two more episodes about the same story were produced a bit later, this time under the main title "Rockman" (unlike Episode 2, where he's called Mega Man, even in the japanese dub).

It's unknown if these 3 Episodes ever saw an official release, until 2002, when Capcom of Japan decided to finally (re)release them on DVD for Rockman's 15th Anniversary (all featuring a Japanese and English dub, but no subs).

It's unknown if there are any more secret animated works of the original Rockman game-series."

Here is my review of this anime in 2023!

Story (9)
The story is about Megaman (Rockman) fighting against Dr. Wily (Bad Professor) that are making chaos in the real world. The Megaman is not alone, He's with his friend such as Roll, Blues, etc. But the design is different from what we saw on Rockman Series. This one is more like a game that we're playing right now.

Art (9)
The art of this anime is very good. I like how they can animate this on that year. Most of the animations are sketched one by one and it's pretty cool!

Sound (8)
All the sounds they used are very ...

The Rockman OVA's only issue is that it doesn't last longer.

While it has a very simplistic story (your typical "game character comes into reality and they need to stop the game villain" plot), it's executed in an interesting way. They make it educational for a younger audience without pounding it over your head in a boring way. You might even learn something new about Japan when you watch.

The characters are all likable enough, and there's a lot of nice interactions between them. I thought it was very sweet when Blues complimented Roll's kimono. It has lots of humorous moments as well. Even the decision ...

Megaman or Rockman if you prefer, is a classic gaming icon. He's had multiple game lines and several animated adaptations. This OVA was produced in '93 but didn't come out until 2002. Apparently, it was supposed to be released alongside the '94 cartoon as a special but that fell through. Who knows, maybe they realised the cartoon was terrible and Production Reed just decided they didn't want the association.

Story:

The narrative is simple enough. Megaman accidentally falls out of the game world and into our world. Doctor Wily follows and our blue hero has to stop Wily before he threatens the real world. Fortunately, ...
