Well while on youtube like always I found this vid by a Mr/Mrs WALLE9000(I honestly don't know what gender the person is) it shows manga associated with are main man Zero from the Megaman Zero series. From what I know myself I know only of one Manga of Zero and its depiction is pretty much different from what we have seen in the games. I love the art and we get to see some familiar faces to boot. Enjoy is all I got to say it is translated only in for 3 pages the rest remains in Japanese. Here is a link and if you don't like the music just turnoff your volume and look at the splendor that is cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X92ibK3hAno&feature=relatedThere are other manga bits, but I can't tell if its the same artist or not in the manga ,but there is another person who hosts these bits for everyone to see. Unless you've seen it no problem. I just thought it would be interesting to post. |

Hideto Kojima's Zero manga you say? No thank you. I'd rather have a Zero series manga/anime that's actually a Zero series manga/anime, rather then an Alternate Universe fanfiction by the guy who did Metal Gear Solid.

Yeah I could relate at first I found it too odd to begin with ,but with time I got used to it. The only thing I couldn't stand for little while was Zero's personalty issue. I can understand where stories have to be different for entertainment value. Yeah I think it would have been cool if he actually used the normal story. I will finally get passed or into chapter 2. Thanks Dei Dei.

I agree Miguel. Almost all the megaman manga/anime's suck. I think Capcom needs to acctuly make one with effort and have Kenji look over it to ensure that it's acceptable for the title 'Megaman'.

It's not so much all the series' suck, it's more that they do their own thing. That's not automatically a bad thing, but it can be.
I can tolerate an episode of the Ruby-Spears cartoon once a week, if only for the WTF, LOL? value of it (and Scott McNeil doing his Dinobot voice for Wily and a non-Brooklyn Rattrap voice for Protoman), but it's physically impossible to take it seriously. A cut above Captain N, but that's no big accomplishment, considering the Critical Research Failure and all around failure of that show.
HK's manga, I haven't actually read, but from what I've read on various Megaman websites, it has this whole concept that Zero has two personalities, a coward and a badass, and they're identified by whether or not he has his helmet. That sound less like my favorite of the Megaman spin-offs and more like a generic shounen series. Since there's little chance of it being 'So Bad It's Good' like the Ruby-Spears cartoon, I'm just gonna give Kojima's raping of the Zero series a miss.
When Capcom is ready to hire a director who's interested in making a proper Megaman series (Meaning not Battle Network, Starforce or Legends) and doing it right (expanding on the existing characters rather then re-imagining them alongside Mary Sues and Gary Stus), then I'll gladly give them my money, attention and affection for it.
Until then, I'm just gonna sit back and laugh my arse off.

Like I said, provided it does Megaman justice instead of doing it's own thing, I guarantee I'll like it.
Do Keiji Infaune proud, my friend!

Go for it big guy! Let's see what you got then the other artists don't got. I read that manga for the reason that it is hilarious and I got a kick reading it because its different from what we see as a standard. I enjoyed the idea ,but I thought some things were too much of a miss. An example of this would be like how all the generals form into Copy X or in this case the supposed Ultimate Reploid who gets owned by cowardly Zero terribly. Neo Arcadia is known as the government. All the Generals personalities are very quirky and different in their own aspects. I think my favorite of the quirks is how Phantom denies the fact he got sliced in half by Zero with the excuse of a substitute jutsu when clearly he did get slashed in half.
Since all of them do their own thing it makes them quite unique on what they cover through a portion of any sort of series.
The Ruby and Spears Cartoon had its moments. I think the only thing I hate about it is it's representation of X. I have never seen Captain N so I don't know much about it, I've read both Megamixes they are decent ,but haven't gotten far with X's Megamix. The animes of Starforce and Battle Network were ok ,but not my favorite of choice for certain things.
I don't see anything wrong with a Legends Manga if they did one.
Besides Legends has perhaps better potential for it because it has comical moments and has a lot of seriousness behind to an extent. Megaman equals perhaps a more kids manga because of its cute and freindly charms because I can't see it as too serious. Sure he'd be running around saving the wrold and destroying stuff ,but that is how megaman is even through the games.
Megaman X and Zero both have the potential of being the most dramatic than all the other series with extremely serious and dark tones. I could never see it comical unless the moments are tender, have compassion or perhaps a little bit of love here there particullaraly with some characters.

I can sum up Captain N for you right not. Basically, it's a cartoon based on video games, but if it were made by your parents who don't do any research and instead go by what they see when they walk past you playing a game and what they hear when you're discussing games with your friends.
And also your parents are the worst writers ever. And they gave King Hippo man-nipples. If you want more information, the Nostalgia Critic recently did a review of it, and there's also sites like Wikipedia and TV Tropes (beware of TV Tropes though. That place is addictive.)
That's why I like Cinnamon so much. She's pretty much compassion incarnate, and she could be an active character, rather then being trapped in the kitchen like the other three girls with her exact personality (Roll, Iris and Ciel. Also, am I the only one who noticed that all four of them have, at one point, usually during opening montages, cupped their hands together in the exact same manner?).
Also, I think she'd be Zero's only chance to escape his Deus Angst Machina mode, which would help deter the yaoi fangirls claiming he has unresolved sexual tension with X.

Yaoi Fan girls... UGH!!! They have to find that interesting don't they. (I find some of them that I know to be idiots sometimes when it comes to that stuff) What do people find X and Zero to be gay!? Sheesh because they care about each other that much or is it because they are like brothers or is it because Zero looks girly ,but is a guy gender confused what is it? They always do find something to that calibur which disgusts me... I have respect for gays and bisexuals because its their right to express their feelings of love ,but don't do any fandom that disgraces these two characters of what they represent truelly in the whole grand scheme of it all. No offense to any girl on the site who reads the stuff ,but sheesh. No I am not saying if your a girl and you like the stuff because not everyone does.
Plus do not assume I do those kind of things most guys do on their spare time because I am not like that at all. That is the reason why I don't generally bother with the drama of love anymore than the fact I ain't the best looking guy either.
So that is Captain N huh? I have seen Megaman's portration before and I found it just creepy and why in god's name is he green and why is Roll known as Mega Girl and had to be that shade of pink...
As for the whole Cinnamon and Zero thing. Well I can see it ,but you know how twisted fans can get about it right? It is a plus to finally and hopefully end the whole X and Zero thing (Hopefully breaking the fantasies of the Yaoi Fan girls) , but chances are they will find new things to make it sound different than it is portrayed to be... You get what I am saying?
