@@cheezeebutter452 except, the VA for X here retired to become a doctor. Which, good for him, because not only is that a truly good and selfless profession, he can also be like X and help people, but, it sucks because he was perfect for the role.

I love how when Sigma says “…sometimes we Maverick Hunters can’t hesitate to pull the trigger…” you can hear somebody in the background say “DON’T do that! Don’t do that!”
The problem was this game was exclusive to PSP handhelds which was one of Sony's worst selling handheld consoles and never stood a chance at outselling Nintendo's DS line of handheld systems. Had it been available on multiple console platforms I guarantee you it would of sold better.
@@Egobyte83 Well, the VA for X in MHX is perhaps one of the best at screaming in voice acting history. Now, he's an orthopedist, IIRC. He also voiced X in Command Mission and X8, btw.
+Isabella Mcdonald Each episode could focus on X and Zero's fight against a maverick. Since there are 8 in each game the show could last for quite awhile.
They would have X getting all his equipments of X1 but since there's 7 more game games, X loses his Shield and Head armor during the destruction of sigma and his fortress so X becomes the same guy from Megaman X2.
I regret that something this amazing wasnt continued. The plot and characters had limitless potential. The X factor sealed in a short animation instead of another legacy.
This looks perfect. The way they are drawn and animated, and most of the voice acting, it's perfect. It's a shame this is the only one of this. Mighty number 9 will be nothing compared to Mega Man X and Zero.
+Midnight-HD Gaming I'm pretty sure Inafune just sold what was left of his rights to the series. X6 was made without his permission before he left, forcing him to rewrite Mega Man Zero. So Capcom has always been able to make Mega Man games without him.
RETIRED Inafune never had any legal propiety over megaman series he was only his creator but Capcom always had the rights of the saga when Inafune leave Capcom the right stay in the company
"your aiming capabilities are no different from my own. You could have easily hit the generator" By that logic, *you* could have easily slashed the generator without dismembering your ally. Yet you did. If it were a buster shot, *you* would have missed
Honestly I think these voice actors are perfectly fine, its just a few of them don't work, but the key character, X, Zero, Sigma, and Vile all work perfectly for them.
It's such a shame that MegaMan X: maverick hunter was a flop and the series didn't continue. Could you imagine crystal snail's theme remastered? That would've been godlike
Part of why it flopped is because they didn't make it available for the Playstation 2. Not that many people purchased the PSP and in some regards, the machine itself was too ahead of its time.
@cgcfilms ideally they would end with X5 as Inafune intended. That being said, I think there would be some form of telepathy between Zero and Sigma that would eventually lead to him succumbing to/creating the Zero Virus. X5 seems to have a huge chunk of story missing and I think that would be a welcome change. Talking about it only makes me want this to happen more.
Well you could be right but noticed in MegaMan Maverick Hunter X they had changes so the story can make sense. They probably do the same with the rest of the X series if they remade it. So basically what I'm saying is that they probably remake X5 so that X and Zero would feel more guilty about what happened in MegaMan X4.
Zero: *grumbles* Ah man, I missed 5%! (9:03) Eagle: 95%! That's very GOOD, Zero! Bitch were we just watching the same simulation!? Not only did he miss the target completely, he hit the simulated ally right in the shoulder!
Marmeg Could be, but it seems to me like it was an accuracy simulator. 95% was how close he was to hitting the target, not a measure of how many TIMES he missed, but rather a measure of how close his shot was to the target. I figured it was a commentary on how only X worries about hurting the hostage while characters like Zero, Sigma and Eagle are only concerned with the objective.
My understanding was that he had a 95% chance of hitting the target. Cause in the actual scenario earlier, X, Sigma and Chill Penguin were talking about the percentage chance of accidentally hitting the Reploid. That simulation was showing the exact probability. 95% chance to hit the generator and not hit the Reploid. But Zero "missed 5%" and hit the Reploid. This scene was also done to show that X was sort of right for not taking the shot. Even though the probability was very low, he may have killed that Reploid just like Zero did in the simulation. I think the computer generates success rate based on the Maverick Hunter's experience. So the computer saying he had a 95% success rate is good. But Zero still failed at 5% and Storm Eagle is a dummy
It was built in. Referring to Archie comic for added lord time sure makes it interesting. He couldn’t shoot through a hostage. Crazy that the comic managed to show both x and zero quickly repaired after the missiles strike. X memory didn’t survive the damage from emergency reroute to hand combat. Zero survival systems sure were useful when he couldn’t be in the way, he played dead unknowingly from wily failsafes. When he woke up after the incident, he carried x back to base for repairs. There was chaos in the base from madvrick s and missiles strike. The comic between zero and x does seem legitimate in expanded lore.
There's my friend who I showed this to once. She thinks it's weird and will probably never watch it again. There are other people who watch this several times. They enjoy it. Then there's me who watched so much she can recite most of, if not all of it. I love this OVA so much. Why isn't this series an anime?
The reasoning is because the game didn't sell very well. But if it were to succeed. They would have remade X2-X6 which would have meant an OVA and some short anime cutscenes for each one. But because Capcom is full of morons. They made the game a PSP exclusive.
I have watched this OVA a few times now, it truly is endlessly enjoyable to me. The scene with Dr.Light is probably my favourite part, it's very poignant.
@@gibbs615 yeah but it is the law. I mean no matter how Dr Light views them it's the law that robots have to be scrapped. Mega Man also viewed the original 6 robot masters as his brothers the same as Blues and Roll, but Guts Man still mentioned the fact that he'll get scrapped one day. So regardless of if robots are viewed as family they still have to be put out of commission at some point

They need to make this into anime. Now is the time to do it. With all the tech and advancements we have now since back then. Can you imagine?! It would be fucking awesome!
@@debbiebernhardt5406 but still the only official response regarding the continuation of the mega man x games, let alone an anime is "We are considering how to approach the production of new entries in the series, which requires numerous factors, including the development of a solid concept, ideas and gameplay, etc,"
He does. I really liked how convincing he was as the noble and honorable leader of the Maverick Hunters, and not written or acted in a way that made it obvious he was an imminent villain, like you see in too many anime and games.
Day of Sigma is based. Maverick Hunter X is based. This game really needs to get ported to modern consoles. Bring it to the Switch or at least properly bring it to the Ps4 or something.
deadass, I'd be down for some Mega Man X animated movies. 2D or 3D doesn't matter to me but what does matter is the story needs to be as good as this, the music must be from the games, and the voices oughta be the Toronto folks Capcom used in every series but this one from 1998 to 2002, as well as the Power Stone anime. I know it won't be them but I can dream...Lyon Smith could be the second best X, Rob Tinkler or Scott McCord could kill it as Zero, Tony Daniels could be a good Vile, and Martin Roach or Lawrence Bayne could be a menacing Sigma.
Yes, there was a pre and post comic for megaman x. Megaman fight with bio weapon walker(military mechanized) and right after zero rebooted when sigma left them.
I like that this was included in Mega Man X Legacy Collection, and the part where X had the flashback of Dr. Light was super sad, and I actually had tears rolling down my face because of how sad it was
This MM Maverick Hunter X game was just excellent especially the voice acting for both the game and this short anime movie for it! I just wish they had done the same for the other classic MMX games too not just the first one. Also Zero was always like a big bro figure to X.
This was a game for the PSP i mean they made all the Animations just for this Game and you can play it with a Handheld Console... this is incredible...
Because Maverick hunter X and Megaman powered Up, were NOT a success and this is mostly because the PSP was a system you could hack so most of the people played a pirate version. I was the one that played the pirate version and bought the original just to have it as collection. The game is fantastic, both of them but after this failure, CAPCOM just hates Megaman.
The series is positively dead. The PSP remakes are not the only games that failed to sell well, the debacle connected to Legends 3 poisoned the well and it's been stated that no creative lead over there is really bold enough to take the lead because having to uphold the legacy of the IP is a pretty big deal. The only "new" material they still have ready is the Legends 3 Demo-game, but that return ticket became invalid when the 3DS was discontinued. From the current situration, a bigger comeback that doesn't rely on mobile games would be supremely difficult.
@@cathyas3749 I mean, that is exactly the thing. A singular hit-release does not automatically flip the table when the status of the series is so completely and utterly screwed. It continues to live off of rereleases and XDive.
The effort put into making this, and Tatsunoko's Casshan: Robot Hunter (a sequel to this) was such a great work, but alas it came to an end just as quickly.
Hey, remember back in Mega Man X4 when X sounded like a 9 year old girl? In the english voice dub that is. In this movie, this is the english voice I expected for X to sound like.
22:19, okay, I never see anyone talking about this and I just wanted to get this out of my chest. I love the music when X activates his limitless potential. It sounds so... Heroic, yet dramatic and tragic at the same time. Which is quite fitting since this is literally X's last stand before he deactivates. I would really love to hear it in its original form without the voice acting.
I still enjoy it. Don't let some mindless social media followers ruin it for you. Mega Man X came out in 1993, long before they started using it in their stupid phrasing.
Because it was all his plan Villify himself Snap X to a true warrior Put Zero to work with X instead of destroying him after his fight against him in the chamber of zero. Make the world a chaos Just to make X evolve.
Sigma's got the same general theme that Dr.Wily has in his later games (Superiority of Robots). It's unknown how widespread the knowledge is that X is the grandfather of the reploid race in the games, but in the OVA here Sigma knows that Dr.Cain sees him as highly valuable and promising. I'd hazard a guess that he lets him live in case X can further the "betterment" of the race.
@@LuminousLead There is also the X factor his greatest ability in fact in his name meaning his limitless evolutionary potential some anime stuff meaning friendship and happiness, puppies (Boomstick’s words not mine) which makes him more powerful. Not to mention to pay to attention to dialogue when ever X defeats a Maverick in they say, “Man you’re strong!” Not to mention he gains new armors most powerful armor being the ultimate X armor. He did gain the Z-Saber from Zero in X5 and used in X6 so it was easy to transverse so it’s to think about all of the other armors from the first few games to the chips and now the ultimate X armor but still also gaining armors.
@@LuminousLead Also I read Sigma’s wiki so he did remain sane after the fight with maverick zero where he got his first scars on his face. Like in this OVA he still continued to lead the maverick hunters but also felt humanity was holding back reploids from achieving their true potential. Which is what this OVA is all about. He really wanted to bring out the X factor in X. Because one day he did spot X who was the father of all reploids (because after Dr. Cain found X he mass produced reploids). and X dedication to justice, and began wondering about how he himself could change the world. It’s also good that you played the games and watched it because As sigma is continually destroyed and resurrected his sanity degrades. You can notice it in X1-X8 how he was charismatic to psychopath to senile to obsessed with his vision of the future. It also shows why X doesn’t hesitate against sigma because he’s pure evil. Sorry this was long by the way this is information from the wiki.
You know, looking back, I wonder if part of Sigma's decision to draw out X's potential stemmed from Dr. Cain's desire to see it before the end of his life. That look on his face as Cain lamented his inability to extend his life any further says it all.
Don't forget that X shared a voice actor with the main character of *_Mobile Fighter G Gundam_* here. And let's not forget 22:20, where X _literally performs the Shining Finger._
@@electronbmx5918 in MMX4, there was a flashback to when Zero was a ruthless maverick, where he contained the maverick virus that would infect Sigma into what he ended up becoming. From my knowledge, there’s actually setups to the virus in either Megaman 9 or 10. (Take all this with a grain of salt, I haven’t particularly played MMX3 yet, just going off of videos).
@Comrade Midnight Yeah, you bring up a good point there. My only idea is that maybe he just… Repaired himself? I mean, he was beaten pretty badly in MMX3, so he maybe would’ve just repair himself. Characters have repaired themselves before too, so X could’ve just ripped another one and Sigma, being a maverick, just said “oh well”.
Sorry, but all I can think of is that X is Domon Kasshu, Vile is Chibodee Crockett, and Sigma is Marcelot Chariot! G GUNDAM AND MEGA MAN X!! My childhood smiles!
Neon Tiger? No, in the X series he wasn't a Maverick Hunter. But he did prevent wild animals from being poached off. If I remember, Grizzly Slash had no relation to the Maverick Hunters (other than Zero)as he was a weapons dealer
Evil bot Maybe it is just some random Maverick Hunter that looks like Grizzly Slash. By that time there are over millions of reploids and some could be the same animal
After thinking about it, I realized what made X's hand glow the way it did when he grabbed Sigma's head. It's the weapon copy system. X was trying to get Sigma's ability if he had one.
With this level of quality for just an OVA, I dont get why they didnt make an anime series for each game or something. Since the games can only portray characters and events so much I'm sure they could do a lot more like fleshing out the personalities for all the other mavericks and whatnot. Also all the voices fit these characters just right. It probably wouldve happened too if Maverick Hunter X got better sales when it first came out.

I appreciate that here Zero doesn't treat X like a child or a rookie. He treats him like a friend, a brother.
X is actually his best friend and they are like brothers =) And in the End X's Legacy was in Zero Hands and Zero succeed
"you little baby boo bop"
Yeah Zero always did act like a big bro towards X.
Yeah I always liked that as well how Zero NEVER doubted X even when X wasn't sure of Himself

I implore you to refrain from further destruction of the English language.
They need to make this into anime. Now is the time to do it. With all the tech and advancements we have now since back then. Can you imagine?! It would be fucking awesome!
Capcom now is busy with all ap
Capcom finished it. Astro boy and mega man made it equally good. Voltron and macross was also equally good.
@@debbiebernhardt5406 but still the only official response regarding the continuation of the mega man x games, let alone an anime is "We are considering how to approach the production of new entries in the series, which requires numerous factors, including the development of a solid concept, ideas and gameplay, etc,"
Sigma looks like a really cool good guy
Sucks for him, he's evil 😒
Now you see that evil will always triumph. Because, good is dumb.
He does. I really liked how convincing he was as the noble and honorable leader of the Maverick Hunters, and not written or acted in a way that made it obvious he was an imminent villain, like you see in too many anime and games.
His story is kinda tragic.... he was a hero, but got infected with the maverick virus, at least in previous canon.
@@firstevidentenigma yup zero infected sigma whit ligma when they first fought and zero was a psycho
He was truly a sigma male :(
That scene with X and Dr. Light gets me everytime
And then X's feral rage directly after is *incredibly* cathartic. The way he completely snaps is terrifying.
Day of Sigma is based. Maverick Hunter X is based. This game really needs to get ported to modern consoles. Bring it to the Switch or at least properly bring it to the Ps4 or something.
YESSSSS.....
BASED
First x1 is better (in my opinion)
Second day of sigma is in both x legacy collections
The megaman legacy X series is on Switch
@@Enzodream1376 yeah but it only in ludes day of Sigma. Not the PSP exclusive game, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
This OVA shows a lot of potential. Hell, if anything, the Megaman X series should have its own movie series.
Netflix will release this game as a film soon.
@@sonicdeeofficial8925 Are you... Serious?
@@sonicdeeofficial8925 wait… really?!?!
In that case, I want to see the movie then
deadass, I'd be down for some Mega Man X animated movies.
2D or 3D doesn't matter to me but what does matter is the story needs to be as good as this, the music must be from the games, and the voices oughta be the Toronto folks Capcom used in every series but this one from 1998 to 2002, as well as the Power Stone anime. I know it won't be them but I can dream...Lyon Smith could be the second best X, Rob Tinkler or Scott McCord could kill it as Zero, Tony Daniels could be a good Vile, and Martin Roach or Lawrence Bayne could be a menacing Sigma.
@@dcb99filmz Me too. I have been fantasizing about that for the LONGEST time now.
17:38 HE DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY X!
oh X...... so naive.... especially in Maverick Hunter and X7
YEAH HE DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!
And listen to Sigma laughing afterwards, he knows it's funny.
GODDAMNIT X!
I love how this is adapted from Pre-established and brought to life in the most badass way possible. God I love Megaman X
Yes, there was a pre and post comic for megaman x. Megaman fight with bio weapon walker(military mechanized) and right after zero rebooted when sigma left them.
I like that this was included in Mega Man X Legacy Collection, and the part where X had the flashback of Dr. Light was super sad, and I actually had tears rolling down my face because of how sad it was
Crazy how this all adds up to the events of Mega Man X, the missiles launch into the city explains why the in the Intro Stage, the city was destroyed.
Yes
Yeah I loved how this is basically the RE Zero of the MMX franchise
This MM Maverick Hunter X game was just excellent especially the voice acting for both the game and this short anime movie for it! I just wish they had done the same for the other classic MMX games too not just the first one. Also Zero was always like a big bro figure to X.
A series like this could give neat and deep characterization into the enemies we fight. I always felt that Storm Eagle was too honorable
9:49 At the end of that line,he sound like he's just remembering something funny.
A system that complicated really shouldn't be that easy to HAAAACK
and so, the Maverick Wars begin...
Damn. If this is a series in modern day, it would be great!
4:13
He wipes his helmet from what?from sweat? no think about it sweat on the helmet CARL'S HELMET!
Probably a human gesture he picked up.
This was a game for the PSP i mean they made all the Animations just for this Game and you can play it with a Handheld Console... this is incredible...
Holy shit! Just realized that X's VA is the same guy (Mark Gatha) who did Domon Kasshu from G Gundam! I friggin love that show!!!!
"This hand of mine glows with an awesome power"!
Too bad he stopped voice acting. Must have taken these gigs until he got done with college.
@@GokuTheHusky it's burning grip tells me to defeat you!!!
Just imagine a Megaman series with this level of animation and the history of all Megaman X 😪
Okay, but only if we don't hafta listen to whoever voiced Flame Hyenard.
@@bezoticallyyours83 Burn!
I love that they were able to fit a shining finger for the voice actor in this
11yrs ago and I still almost cry watching this
Voice casting was as on point as it's ever gonna get
6:35-6:41 I'm Sorry But X's Face Looks Adorable
X: >:0
4:54 Signas, is that you?
Yup
I thonk it might be young signas
Sigma's head from the back looks like a dick
@@AngieMarioFreak2001 It's true XD
damn nice catch
Why doesn't Capcom show this kind of love and lore development to Mega Man anymore?
Because Maverick hunter X and Megaman powered Up, were NOT a success and this is mostly because the PSP was a system you could hack so most of the people played a pirate version. I was the one that played the pirate version and bought the original just to have it as collection. The game is fantastic, both of them but after this failure, CAPCOM just hates Megaman.
@@Yokai_Yuri Would love to see them make a good "Maverick Hunter: Sigma" game with a decent backstory on Sigma turning maverick as you progress!
The series is positively dead. The PSP remakes are not the only games that failed to sell well, the debacle connected to Legends 3 poisoned the well and it's been stated that no creative lead over there is really bold enough to take the lead because having to uphold the legacy of the IP is a pretty big deal.
The only "new" material they still have ready is the Legends 3 Demo-game, but that return ticket became invalid when the 3DS was discontinued. From the current situration, a bigger comeback that doesn't rely on mobile games would be supremely difficult.
@@lpfan4491 11 has become the best selling game in the series so far. But no news has come from that yet
@@cathyas3749 I mean, that is exactly the thing. A singular hit-release does not automatically flip the table when the status of the series is so completely and utterly screwed. It continues to live off of rereleases and XDive.
God I so badly wanted him to avenge his friends and defeat sigma right there, it got so intense and then it does you the bookmark move
Yes I still remember watching Megaman way back in 1990! This amazing anime series was way ahead of it's time!
This anime here is from 2005 though
@@JonathanPaspula and its a movie lmfao
I think you're mixing up 1990s Mega Man Animated with Day of Sigma. ;) The Ruby Spears one was still fun and they did have one MM X episode.
23:47 "Eggs... YEEEGGGSS!"
Thanks for making me laugh.
I never expected a comment from this video make me wheeze
Ah yes my favorite megaman E g g s
Lmfao omg
Eggs and Ziweed ro. My favorite food dishes
*_sHOOt tHE GenERAtoR, X!!!111!_*
They should make a full Megaman X series.
Storm Eagle sounds like the voice that sometimes comes on at the airport telling you to keep an eye on your luggage
And I kinda like it
Everyone's favorite blueberry and cranberry work so well together!
I love that “Simba” has just become a forever must in all your recaps
The effort put into making this, and Tatsunoko's Casshan: Robot Hunter (a sequel to this) was such a great work, but alas it came to an end just as quickly.
X is so much like his older brother but doesn't have his limits
The girl operator robot is so pretty.
She looks an awful lot like Nana from Command mission
She was like operating airdrop.
Hey, remember back in Mega Man X4 when X sounded like a 9 year old girl? In the english voice dub that is.
In this movie, this is the english voice I expected for X to sound like.
Time to get sewious
So when Zero said and stated that not many reploids have that attack capability. He implied that not many reploids have sabers.
22:25 "This hand of mine glows with awesome power! It's grip tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love! My anger! And all of my sorrow!"
22:19, okay, I never see anyone talking about this and I just wanted to get this out of my chest.
I love the music when X activates his limitless potential. It sounds so... Heroic, yet dramatic and tragic at the same time. Which is quite fitting since this is literally X's last stand before he deactivates. I would really love to hear it in its original form without the voice acting.
He was in emergency mode. He had rerouted power to his arm to shield it for damage directly to his head where his data is stored.
And so, one of my favorite video game villians is born.
I wish I could enjoy this more but I can’t take the word Sigma serious anymore
Ikr? and its all thanks to brainrot nowadays
Sigma has fitting name if you know the lore.
I still enjoy it. Don't let some mindless social media followers ruin it for you. Mega Man X came out in 1993, long before they started using it in their stupid phrasing.
@@Mikey-1990 I am familiar with MMX, the first is one of my favourite retro games and my friend got me into the series. I was half kidding anyway
Ligma
So why didn't Sigma just destroy X when he had the chance? Typical bad guy mannerisms.
Because it was all his plan
Villify himself
Snap X to a true warrior
Put Zero to work with X instead of destroying him after his fight against him in the chamber of zero.
Make the world a chaos
Just to make X evolve.
Sigma's got the same general theme that Dr.Wily has in his later games (Superiority of Robots). It's unknown how widespread the knowledge is that X is the grandfather of the reploid race in the games, but in the OVA here Sigma knows that Dr.Cain sees him as highly valuable and promising. I'd hazard a guess that he lets him live in case X can further the "betterment" of the race.
@@LuminousLead There is also the X factor his greatest ability in fact in his name meaning his limitless evolutionary potential some anime stuff meaning friendship and happiness, puppies (Boomstick’s words not mine) which makes him more powerful. Not to mention to pay to attention to dialogue when ever X defeats a Maverick in they say, “Man you’re strong!” Not to mention he gains new armors most powerful armor being the ultimate X armor. He did gain the Z-Saber from Zero in X5 and used in X6 so it was easy to transverse so it’s to think about all of the other armors from the first few games to the chips and now the ultimate X armor but still also gaining armors.
@@TheEmpiresStrongest Yes, I too played the games and watched the animated episode.
@@LuminousLead Also I read Sigma’s wiki so he did remain sane after the fight with maverick zero where he got his first scars on his face. Like in this OVA he still continued to lead the maverick hunters but also felt humanity was holding back reploids from achieving their true potential. Which is what this OVA is all about. He really wanted to bring out the X factor in X. Because one day he did spot X who was the father of all reploids (because after Dr. Cain found X he mass produced reploids). and X dedication to justice, and began wondering about how he himself could change the world. It’s also good that you played the games and watched it because As sigma is continually destroyed and resurrected his sanity degrades. You can notice it in X1-X8 how he was charismatic to psychopath to senile to obsessed with his vision of the future. It also shows why X doesn’t hesitate against sigma because he’s pure evil. Sorry this was long by the way this is information from the wiki.
You know, looking back, I wonder if part of Sigma's decision to draw out X's potential stemmed from Dr. Cain's desire to see it before the end of his life. That look on his face as Cain lamented his inability to extend his life any further says it all.
Sigma's laugh at the end tho.
Its like Looney Tunes evil laugh running gag
Literally like Doctor Evil from the Austin Powers movies, lmao.
22:30 Domon Kasshu: *”SHINING FINGER!”*
I Love this, I want it to be a animated series, The episodes are just levels of megaman games
Don't forget that X shared a voice actor with the main character of *_Mobile Fighter G Gundam_* here. And let's not forget 22:20, where X _literally performs the Shining Finger._
1:48 A random "My leg!" would've been perfect.
I feel bad for sigma tbh, he used to be a good guy but got virus because of....zero.
Actually zero only had a virus in MMX 5
@@electronbmx5918 in MMX4, there was a flashback to when Zero was a ruthless maverick, where he contained the maverick virus that would infect Sigma into what he ended up becoming. From my knowledge, there’s actually setups to the virus in either Megaman 9 or 10. (Take all this with a grain of salt, I haven’t particularly played MMX3 yet, just going off of videos).
dangerousdoings
Lol are you talking about Roboenza from 10
@Comrade Midnight Yeah, you bring up a good point there. My only idea is that maybe he just… Repaired himself? I mean, he was beaten pretty badly in MMX3, so he maybe would’ve just repair himself. Characters have repaired themselves before too, so X could’ve just ripped another one and Sigma, being a maverick, just said “oh well”.
Who is Zeo?
9:04 - Storm Eagle saying 95% lives rent free in my head.
"95%? That's very good, Zero."
**Does model pose**
hey. with any luck, the success of the x legacy collections may usher in a new age for the x franchise...
please fund this and make the whole Megaman X series an anime, we NEED IT, it has so much potential!!
22:24
I want to know where I can find the track that plays here, cuz it's god damn perfect!
Even 16 years later this is still so damn good even more so with that great old english Va
sigh the good ol days of good dubs are passing by
Oh man I wish this was a real anime series. I would love to watch it every single episode again and again and again
That could’ve been so good
@@hewkiithetiscytofficialcha8903 I wish it could happen
4:54 That's Signas. Just noticed.
Yeah I just noticed that too, I don't think he was built at this point in the lore
This would EZ be the best anime ever, if they went past the pilot episode.
Yeah I had always wanted to watch a Megaman Maverick Hunter X anime.
Sorry, but all I can think of is that X is Domon Kasshu, Vile is Chibodee Crockett, and Sigma is Marcelot Chariot! G GUNDAM AND MEGA MAN X!! My childhood smiles!
itchy0618 Yeah you're right. Unfortunately, Mark Gatha(Domon Kasshu and X) has retired and became a surgeon though. Best voice for X by far though
9:33 is that supposed to be Grizzly Slash (before he got his new left arm), Commander Yammark, & idk an odd colored Neon Tiger on the right of X?
Mega NerdX i think that what you think is grizzly is actually spark mandrill but you could be right about tiger and yammark
Neon Tiger? No, in the X series he wasn't a Maverick Hunter. But he did prevent wild animals from being poached off.
If I remember, Grizzly Slash had no relation to the Maverick Hunters (other than Zero)as he was a weapons dealer
Crinkle Crumpfets who could it be tho i cant think of anyone else that looks like that there is so many I’ve probably forgotten
Evil bot Maybe it is just some random Maverick Hunter that looks like Grizzly Slash. By that time there are over millions of reploids and some could be the same animal
Looks like it
After thinking about it, I realized what made X's hand glow the way it did when he grabbed Sigma's head. It's the weapon copy system. X was trying to get Sigma's ability if he had one.
Beats Detroit Become human
It’s crazy seeing mega man x doing the shining finger and also being voiced by the guy that does the shining finger in G Gundam
"Now arriving at drop point!"
X: "Wait a second... I just remembered I can teleport."
That girl voice like operating airdrop pilot.
With this level of quality for just an OVA, I dont get why they didnt make an anime series for each game or something. Since the games can only portray characters and events so much I'm sure they could do a lot more like fleshing out the personalities for all the other mavericks and whatnot. Also all the voices fit these characters just right. It probably wouldve happened too if Maverick Hunter X got better sales when it first came out.
Not enough money dedicated to both anime and project
