    Mega Man (Animated Series coming in 2017)

    From the creators of Ben 10 and Generator Rex, Airing will coincide with the 30th Anniversary
    Dentsu Entertainment USA has partnered with Man of Action Entertainment to develop a 26-episode animated series based on Capcom's iconic video game franchise Mega Man for the global market, it was announced today by Yuichi Kinoshita, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dentsu Entertainment USA. Under terms of the deal, Dentsu Entertainment holds worldwide broadcast and licensing rights for all aspects of the new Mega Man TV series.

    Dentsu handpicked Man of Action Entertainment, creators of Ben 10 and Generator Rex, to create, write and executive produce the all-new Mega Man animated series. Disney/Marvel's Academy Award-winning feature Big Hero 6 utilized the characters and team created by Man of Action, the bi-coastal creative studio and writers' collective formed by creators and acclaimed comic book writers Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle. Marvel called upon Man of Action to produce and write Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel's Avengers Assemble for their successful launches on Disney XD. The new Mega Man series has a target air date of 2017, coinciding with the franchise's 30th anniversary.

    "We are very excited about the opportunity to introduce an all-new Mega Man to loyal fans and kids," said Kinoshita, commenting on the deal. "Having a celebrated character from Japan reimagined by Man of Action is the ideal project for Dentsu Entertainment USA."

    Man of Action's Rouleau said, "The 1990s Mega Man TV series was cool and different than other series targeted at kids during that time. It featured great action, but also brought the laughs. Mega Man is a character that is even more relevant for today's kids and we are really looking forward to creating something new that still respects the long tradition of the character."

    This will be incredibly ironic if this, for whatever reason, gets cancelled.

    Good or bad, no one can deny the 1990's one had a catchy theme song.

    X seems like something that'd be better suited as a shounen-esque anime, which basically means moderate violence and blood. So, while I'd like to see it, too, this take on Mega Man doesn't seem to be heading in that direction.
