Mega City is under attack! Okay, that place is always under attack on a day that ends with a Y, but this time around, it’s a bit different, because Dr Light’s Bomb Man is corrupted by the bad guy, and it’s up to the kid Rock to don the Megaman suit and… oh, the end credits are rolling already?

Yup, that’s Mega Man: Start in a nutshell. It feels like 8 minutes or so of a much longer movie plonked into this series to tease people into buy an upcoming Megaman game or something. I swear the credits are as long as the actual story. 

I’ve seen glowing reviews of this “episode”, if I can even call it that, from people that clap like seals because it’s Megaman and they are conditioned to love everything with that blue tin can boy in it. If you’re one of those people, hey, this episode is for you, baby. Everyone else, just go watch something else.
