Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X: THE DAY of Σ OVA (JPN w/ EN Subs.) [HD]

Uploaded to complement my playthrough of Mega Man X, which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...

Admittedly, I aimed to upload this from the very beginning I started this channel, but decided against it because 1) at the time I had the English version where the screen goes gray for a few secs, and 2) I prefer the Japanese version over the English version, and at the time I wasn't interested in adding subtitles to it. Now, since YouTube allows uploads that are longer than 15mins, I saw it as a nice opportunity to make a proper upload of this great OVA. As stated, this IS the Japanese version with English subtitles (which are taken straight from the English dub). I don't have anything against the English version, just feel the Japanese audio is richer, plus, I personally like Sigma's VA, Mugihito Terada.

As a note, I'd like to express that if anyone would be interested in seeing the English version of this OVA uploaded, feel free to leave a comment saying so. Due keep in mind that the quality isn't exactly the same (not in HD), but it's certainly still good.

English version has been uploaded, and although not in HD, the quality is still just as good:    • Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X: THE DAY ...  

Here's a little information about the OVA:

• This OVA is included with the Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X video game, and becomes available upon beating the game.
• This OVA serves as a prologue to the game.
• Capcom meant to remake the first six games in the series, so this OVA was meant to be a retelling of the story; however, given that Capcom hasn't furthered the Maverick Hunter X series, most fans consider this OVA purely non-canonical to the X series as a whole.
• Interestingly, in the initial stages of the Mega Man X game for the SNES, the first stage, Central Highway, had a very similar design to the city portrayed in this OVA.
• Dr. Cain seemingly dies when the missiles impact Abel City; however, he was still alive during the events of Mega Man X2, X3, and Xtreme, and was mentioned in the instruction manual of X4. It's often debated whether or not he survived. (It should be noted that this OVA essentially has no relevance with the original games.)
• The scene where Sigma releases Vile from prison is a tad longer in the English version—by about a minute or two.
• Interestingly, the phrase, "evolution requires sacrifice", was later said by Serpent, the main antagonist of Mega Man ZX. Additionally, it is purportedly a quote from Keiji Inafune himself.
• A rather interesting note regarding how Sigma got his scars, is that there are three versions of it: 1) he got them during his fight with Zero in Mega Man X4, 2) he did it himself upon going Maverick using the heat of his fingers in the Mega Man X manga, and 3) X scarred his face upon releasing his limitless potential, as seen in this video.
• OVA stands for "original video animation" and can also be written as OAV.
