Summary

As the corrupted creations of genius inventor Dr. Light rampage through Mega City, the humblest of his inventions dreams of fighting for everlasting peace.

Our Take

The Mega Man short looks great, with a clean anime style and some genuinely fun action once the little blue guy finally gets going. The problem is pacing: it spends so long on setup and melancholy world-building that the actual hero moment feels rushed. Decent enough for fans, but newcomers may wonder what the fuss is about.
