Hello everyone. It's been a while, huh? Actually, I had no plans to make another video and "One"(Madara AMV) was supposed to be my last AMV. Well, it still is, because this video is not an AMV, but a Manga Music Video (MMV? idk hahah). I always thought this kind of video to be really charming, and wanted to give it a try.
The edited manga is Mega Man Megamix (and some pannels of Gigamix too), created by Hitoshi Ariga. I'm a huge Mega Man fan, it's easily my favorite game franchise ever, and Ariga's Megamix/Gigamix series is by far the best interpretation of these games to any different media in my opinion. The balance between lighthearted and dark moments is perfect and some stories can be really emotional.
The arc used in this video is the one from the story "The Greatest Enemy in History", the last arc of Megamix, which adapts Mega Man 6, mixing some events of Mega Man 1 and 7. The main character here is Copy Mega Man, or Copy Robot, who was created by Dr. Wily when Mega Man tries to put an end to his evil schemes for the sixth time. The Copy believes he's the real Mega Man, and even has all of his memories. After defeat the original, he goes after Wily and tries to kill him. Surprised with "Mega Man's" intentions, Wily realized that the one who tried to kill him was the Copy, because the only difference in terms of personality between the Copy and the Original is Dr. Wily's evil chip implanted in his circuits, which twists his sense of justice, making him destroy an entire city and declare war on humanity for force robots to destroy each other and ruin with the planet's nature. In order to reach his goals, Copy Mega Man has to face his fellow robots, his family and the painful truth.
It's a really amazing and emotional story, that develops the essence of Mega Man as a hero very well. I read it for the first time when I was editing "One", and since I was reading, I had Remember Everything playing in my head all the time, and I thought: Maybe I'll edit this story in the future, as a tribute for the franchise I love so much, and if I do, I will definitely use this music. Hope you enjoy! :))
If you're a Mega Man fan, I really recommend you to take a look at Megamix and Gigamix, the series was published by Udon Comics, so I think you can still find it to buy.
