Oh boy. Like every other third party show Cartoon Network's been acquiring, they're definitely gonna treat this like garbage when it comes to airing it. They'll sentence this to early morning hours on Saturdays only.

Dentsu Entertainment USA also revealed a new visual for the series, and said that the new series will focus on toys.

"Focus on toys" as in the series will be about toys or will it be a toyetic series?

Hopefully for the show's sake, it lasts longer than the new Pacman show did.

The new picture looks better than the previous one, but I still don't have high hopes for this show.

I honesty think they should've just had a new anime made. (Funnily enough the main Director and Series Composer of the old Megaman anime are working on a new kids series.)

Man of Action being involved is having me give this show a chance. Though, as was already mentioned here, CN will likely damn this show to 6 or 7 in the morning like they have with damn near all of their other acquired programming. I guess we'll have to see.

Given what happened with Thundercats and Beware The Batman this show will be lucky if it somehow gets renewed early on into it's first season.

Not every show they acquired suffered the fate of Yu Yu Hakusho and Gundam Seed.

Those at least finished their runs death and midnight slots be damned as opposed to being outright canceled like Mobile Suit Gundam and randomly having episodes show up on Toonami's New Year's Eve block like 2-3 years later which jumped ahead to the end.

Yeah, uh, you're gonna need to do more than that to make us forgive you Capcom. You know, start production back up for Mega Man Online? And Mega Man Maverick Hunter? And Mega Man Universe? AND MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3 DAMMIT???????? (Oh, and, forget Mighty No 9 existed while you're at it).

Wait wasn't this supposed to be in 2017 as a part of Megaman's 30th aniversary??? What's the point of having it in 2018!?!??!
I have the show is as good as Sonic Boom, cause that is an example how you do a "reboot" video game cartoon right!
Also just give use the damn sequels we want Capcom. Do Legends 3, X9 or ZX 3 and everyone will be happy

All the ones they've acquired recently have. Sonic Boom, Transformers Robots in Disguise, Justice League Action, Lego Nexo Knights, all of them have been graced with a single early Saturday morning slot (never any later than 7am), zero advertising, and no reruns. Hell, Sonic Boom was recently shipped off to sister station Boomerang with no warning just a few weeks after its second season started.

That's the fate that awaits this new Mega Man cartoon.

Sonic Boom's been on Boomerang since basically spring or summer of last year and airing at somewhat decent hours.....at least on sundays. And yet it's still a better fate than what's happening to all those other show's you mentioned.

The only people who want Dash 3 are the very small group of people who couldn't convince Capcom to make it immediately behind the 2nd or put it on a console. We don't really need a 9th X game though they could stand to make a 2nd Maverick Hunter X, As for ZX people probably cared for that less than Dash.

I don't see them starting Universe or Online back up the former didn't exactly make a good
first impression the 2nd was MMO that Capcom was wise to cancel especially with how much money they probably would've lost on that.

Probably will suffer the same fate as Tenkai Knights.

So Cartoon Network will treat this like an abusive relationship once again, and we probably won't care because it'll likely be top-tier trash.

I wanted Mega Man back, but not like this.

So much for trying to watch this new show of Mega Man on the franchise's 30th Anniversary...

Hopefully Cartoon Network will be merciful enough to put New Mega Man on a time slot that isn't 6:00 or 7:00 A.M...But I'm not holding my breath...
