The story is easy to follow, and quite honestly, seems like a scenario that's played out in my dreams since age 9 of my video games hopping out of my television and run amuck throughout town. With the help of two adorable kids, Rock and his allies must put a stop to Wily as he creates his same seemingly useless robot masters that he's been using since Mega Man 2 to combat the heroes.
The animation team who worked on the opening and ending animated scenes for most of the games on the PSX in the mid 90's looks like they were behind this one as well. It's dated, but crisp and vibrant, doing a great job in bringing the villians and familiar faces of the franchise to life. I got a huge kick out of Dr. Wily leaping out of a kids window just to get away, for that matter just Dr. Wily!
What this may lack in a core story, it makes up for it in overall enjoyment. It gave me such a nostalgic longing for just how much I found myself enveloped in the Rockman universe. I could watch this little venture forever, and I think fans of the Mega Man franchise would enjoy this as well. It's short, but sweet, and watching Rock and his sister try to understand Japanese culture, spend time with Yuuta and Akane's family, and take part in festivals was just incredibly precious. This is thumbs up for me, and I felt happy watching this.
