Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MegaMan Equals MegaFun!
Review: I've read manga before, and it was pretty good, but MegaMan: NT Warrior had me rolling on the floor with its humor and jumping up and down like a crazed chipmunk with its action. The cartoon version doesn't do the manga justice, though it comes extremely close. I greatly recommend this read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Megaman Comic
Review: In this action graphic novel, it's the future year 200X and it's like living in the cyberworld. Everything in the world is run by electronics, and there's an advanced version of the cell phone called the PET ("PErsonal Terminal"). There are special programs inside the PET, and these programs are called NetNavis. These programs help people out by searching the net and finding electronic "items" which repair broken software for almost any type of modern convenience. But there's also an unpleasant side to this electronic paradise - viruses all over the net are making computers malfunction in different ways, sometimes disrupting cities or infecting robots which then malfunction with disastrous consequences. Also there are some bad guys who control NatNavis that in turn control viruses. The main characters, Lan and his NetNavi, Megaman, fight in netbattles against evil NetNavis that control viruses. I enjoy this graphic novel because of the hilarious ways that Lan and Megaman argue with each other like brothers, and also I like the action. Kids who like the Megaman video games will like this graphic novel.

Summary: My review
Review: Okay, first off the manga followed the game, not the anime. So all of the people who've only seen the anime might not follow this.

Second off, once again Viz horribaly dubbs this English version, using the (also horribaly dubbed) anime names, cheap dialouge in place of bad words, and bulky English sound effects.

All in all, story line was good, fight scenes were good, and once again Viz destrys the good name of a good series.

You can see this in ZOIDS, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, One Peice, and other Viz liscenced mangas. In my opinion, messing up the names, dialouge, and sound effects is as bad as printing completely blank pages. Whenever Viz decides to change this, I'll be willing to comply.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Story, bad translation
Review: This is a really great story, especially if you like Megaman. But if you have seen the Japanese version of the Anime, you will probably get a little annoyed that they used the English version of the Anime's sound effects and slogans. Example - Japan says "Plug-In", whereas English says "Download", and other random things like that. One main thing that got me was how both this series and the anime came up with different names for some characters, even different from the American games! Such as Maylu for Mayl.. and giving some characters such as Mesa a western accent. Oh well, can't have everything, at least they brought it over here in English :)
