Mega Man was a great video game and cartoon back in the day. It has just been announced that Dentsu Entertainment USA is partnering up with Man of Action Entertainment to give the world 26-episodes.  The series will be animated. It was announced today by Yuichi Kinoshita, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dentsu Entertainment USA, Inc. Under terms of the deal, Dentsu Entertainment will hold worldwide broadcast and licensing rights for all aspects of the new “Mega Man” TV series.

“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.”

The new “Mega Man” series has a target air date of 2017, coinciding with the franchise’s 30th anniversary.

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.”
