Viz have got you gamers at heart. Not only are they bringing the Blue Dragon cartoon series to all free peoples of the Western world, they're also going to be bringing the new Mega Man cash-in/tie-in, Mega Man Star Force (or Ry
sei no Rockman in Japan, where it's already screening), to the US.
The plot "synopsis" is after the jump. Why? Because it wouldn't fit here. Click through, see if you can make any sense of it.
In the year 220X, a new technology has been developed to enable contact with extraterrestrial life forms. A mysterious accident occurs during the first communication attempt and Geo Stelar's father, an astronomical scientist, disappears. After the accident, Geo is determined to follow his father's footsteps and unravel the secrets surrounding the disappearance. Geo finds his father's visualizer, which allows him to see invisible electromagnetic waves, and soon after witnesses a fight between two sporadic waves, one of which unexpectedly rushes toward him! Geo learns that what he's seen isn't an electromagnetic wave, but an extraterrestrial life form - Omega-Xis, and FM-ian who has escaped his home Planet FM with the mysterious Andromeda Key. Other FM-ians are determined to destroy Planet Earth and release FM viruses to succeed in their cause. When Geo and Omega-Xis merge by exchanging electromagnetic waves, they become Mega Man - the only one who can protect humankind and save the planet!
See? Messy. Once was a time all a kid needed was "robots in disguise" and they were SOLD.
Good luck to any kids hoping to get anything more out of it than bright colours, cheap animation and a strange, unnerving desire to buy all three versions of Mega Man Star Force on the DS.
