Mega Man: Fully Charged Review


Cartoon Network is back with a new show and this is one that alot of people have been looking forward to and i'm betting those people are now very disappointed so here is my review of Mega Man: Fully Charged.

The set up of this show is Aki Light is a normal half human half robot boy who has the ability to transform into the hero Mega Man and protect the citizens of Silicon City.For me the set up does work but to me it feels like the standerd CW arrowverse show except without the charm and very dumbed down plus there's no real story I do however like the pacing in each episode it's nither to fast nor to slow.


Starring in the show are Vincent Tong , Ryan Beil , Caitlyn Bairstow , Cole Howard , Garry Chalk , Michael Adamthwaite , Brian Drummond , Ian Hanlin , Andrew McNee , Kathleen Barr , Samuel Vincent and Travis Turner. In terms of acting the show does fair a little better since alot of the actors in the show are pretty good in this show but my issue is they aren't given anything to really work with so the actors can only do so much.

The episodes are eleven minuets in length and for me that's not enough time for an action show for me an action show should be twenty two minuets and since this show has eleven minuet episodes it means alot of stuff either gets rushed or just flat out isn't there. I've watched the first ten episodes of this show and i can safely say that the characters just aren't that interesting nor memorable and I believe that if the show had longer episodes they could easily fix those problems.


I honestly wish I could tell you who did the animation for this show but I can't find any listed company which is good because I have alot of bad things to say about the animation of this show for some reason they chose to animate this show using CGI which just looks awful and can at times be nightmare fuel but then there are times where the animation looks cell shaded and it just comes of looking pretty bad.

As I briefly mentioned before there are ten episodes of this show out on demand right now so that means you don't have to watch this rubbish on CN you can just watch it online and not give them any of your money that's how bad I think this show is and yes you could argue that this show is good for little kids but the Mega Man franchise has a lot of adult fans so any new product from that show is going to get alot of attention from them so while a kid might like me as an adult I don't like it.


To say that there isn't much humor to be found in this series would be an understatement during all ten episodes I didn't laugh once I honestly think that's some sort of record again there might be little kids out there who find this show funny but to me and i'm gonna guess many others it's just not funny at all none of the jokes worked.

One of the things which got really annoying for me very early on was the fact that for no reason what so ever at random points in episodes the show would morph into the style of the old Mega Man games I wouldn't have minded it so much if there was a reason for it happening but there is none at all it just happens and it's very irritating and pointless.


The action scene i'll admit can be fun heck i'd go as far to say that there the most fun part of the episodes you get to see Mega Man use alot of his gadgets and you get to see some pretty cool looking villains however there is one slight issue that I have and that's that they give Mega Man a power up every single episode power ups should be saved for important episodes we don't need to see a hero get one everytime they enter a fight it makes it seem boring and pointless.


Overall this is the second worst show that Man Of Action have been involved with (the first being THAT Ben 10 reboot) and I can clearly see why this has a 3.2 on IMDB it has a lot of faults so it gets a 3 out of 10 from me.
