Like other animated series of its era, Mega Man is a lighthearted cartoon filled with plenty of absurdity. Even though it’s meant for families, it still offers ample action, and the series faithfully recreates the primary storylines of games from that time. Mega Man consistently confronts Dr. Wily’s mechanized armies, with episodes regularly introducing new Robot Masters. This show was a collaborative project between Ruby-Spears Productions and Ashi Productions, and although the episodes are still displayed in standard definition, they remain visually appealing, as the sleek animation style has aged gracefully.
