The Classic Mega Man Animated Series Releases On Blu-Ray This Fall

The classic ’90s cartoon inspired by Capcom’s beloved Mega Man franchise is finally landing on Blu-ray this autumn. Mega Man: The Complete Series arrives through Discotek’s slate of standard-definition Blu-rays on October 28. This marks welcome tidings for followers of the nostalgic show, since the 2014 DVD collection has been out of print for quite some time and now commands steep prices on the secondary market. Fans can reserve the fresh Blu-ray release for $50 via Amazon or snag it for $40 from Crunchyroll.

Thanks to Amazon’s preorder-price promise, any subsequent price drops will automatically be applied before shipping. The retailer frequently aligns its rates with Crunchyroll days after listings go live.

Mega Man: The Complete Series Blu-ray Special Features

• Mega Man original pilot pitch
• Scans of the original press kit
• TV commercial
• Toy commercial
• Art galleries
• Series bible
• All-new commentary from Mega Man voice actor Ian James Corlett

Like other animated staples of its era, Mega Man is a playful caper overflowing with silliness. Though designed for all ages, it’s packed with battles as the title hero fends off Dr. Wily’s mechanical armies and meets new Robot Masters each episode. Produced jointly by Ruby-Spears and Ashi Productions, the show still looks sharp today, and its stylish animation shines on this standard-def Blu-ray edition.

Need to stock your shelf with animated adaptations of beloved games and cult manga favorites? Then browse the rest of Discotek’s catalog. The label’s been on fire lately, delivering fan-pleasing hits like Street Fighter: The Animated Series. This Blu-ray gathers every one of its 26 TV installments in their native SD and 4:3 framing, plus a trove of extras—art galleries, storyboards, menus themed after the games, scene-specific commentary with notable FGC voices, and even a gag reel of memes the franchise inspired.

Even if the show leans toward the cheesy side,Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie remains anything but obsolete. This feature remains a completely fluid and meticulously animated adaptation of the legendary fighting-game sequel, and its influence on contemporary Street Fighter can still be felt today. Discotek’s remaster brings the film to 4K, letting every explosive sequence look more striking than ever. Supplements include pristine credits, vintage promo assets, design sketches, a score-only audio track, plus both the English and Japanese edits of the movie.

Prefer an energetic slice of Sega animation? You’re in solid luck this week. Amazon is offering the entire Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog at a limited-time markdown. This slapstick, kid-friendly romp is ideal––and honestly harmless––entertainment for younger viewers. Additionally, all 78 installments of Sonic X are available in Blu-ray form. Pick whichever flavor you fancy: the original Japanese-language broadcast or the Western English dub.

Other standout items include Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva—still the lone animated theatrical extension of Level-5’s hit puzzle franchise—a collection of the first three Digimon movies, and the ’90s straight-to-video Darkstalkers OVAs. Even better, a follow-up release—The Complete Animated Series—lands in tandem with Mega Man on October 28.
