[AeonRanger]

something always bugged me about rockman aka megaman why is he called rockman in the first placed in japan and then renamed megaman in america rockmans a weird name for him anyway you'd expect him to be a rockman not a blue cyborg

[Go-On Macaroni]

why is he called rockman in the first placed in japan

The names of Rockman and Roll are a pun on well... Rock n' Roll. =P

[Nexus_Schwarz]

Yes, there are tons of music puns in the within all of series somewhere.

Also Rockman was licensed in America (an early Marvel hero) so they had to give him a different name.

There were tons of possibilities, but Mega Man was the final choice.

(Speaking of licensing issues, Aquaman had to be renamed to Spoutman in EXE6 because of the super hero, but it was Aquaman before and there was already Iceman. *sigh* Oh Capcom.)

Oh the joy of Japanese puns. =]

And licensing issues.

Hm... seeing that episode made me feel a little old, now. It's an old episode, and it has been far, far too long since I saw it last time. :/

I don't really think Rockman's that wierd of a name; there's all sorts of other wierd, punny names around. Just look at half of the other subforums here ^^;

[Dengar]

Interesting, I've never seen the entire series of this. Interesting choice.

[TG23]

Oh nice, it was sad when that other group stopped subbing this so its nice to see someone else pick it up. Also Magenta, your avatar; is that V3 doing a jump on a tricycle?! Hardcore.

Edit: fine, even though it fits my avatar so well... I mean come on! I'm a Wolf! And ADORABLE!!!

[takenoko]

We kind of have a rule about not mentioning other groups. Let's stick to talking about the episode itself, alright guys?

well not only that...
his sworn enemy is bass right? and his rival, protoman is blues in japanese right?

[Leonite Rider]

Bass has a different name in japan too, Forte.

And that's just the puns that the navi's create, Netto, his dub name Lan and Rockman's actual name

Spoiler

Hub

are all internet based puns.

[Pretz]

Snip, what did I just say? -take

But anywho. Axess is a pretty good series. The fun thing about it is it's a sentaish view on the EXE world. Wanna know what I mean.. well watch the episode and thou shall see. Hopefully Stream will be picked up as well. Then we can truly see Internet Sentai NetSaviors!

[NoNamedAsian]

Ahhh great to see Rockman back in action again

[zeta_gundam]

Let me just say that I'm now tempted to play the GBA Megaman Battle Network games thanks to this release. I don't know if that's a good or bad sign...

/me shakes fist at Magenta and runs.

[Battra]

Yeah haven't been this jacked for a series since Kuuga. I remember seeing this on WB/CW I enjoyed the series then but was very disappointed that episode were left out or rearranged add to that the fact they kept switch the time Mega Man was shown.

I'm surprised by the fact that Mega Man actually has a higher voice compared to the dub, but I must say I personally like the dub voice better I think it's more fitting to the character. Anyway thanks for the release & can't wait to see more, know I must track down the first season of .exe

I think there's some confusion here. We don't release by DVD. The source for our footage comes from DVD. All you need to do is download it. Read the guides in the intro forum for that

Sorry about that. I was just a little confussed. I well make sure to Read the guides.
