In Japan, Rockman has enjoyed a long history of animated television commercials. Today I’ll be looking at two such commercials for the Rockman X series that aired in the 90s.
Schedules
Just a heads-up. I mentioned it a little last week, but as far as updating goes Mondays probably aren’t going to be good for the next month or so. I’m thinking maybe Tuesdays will be the new Mondays for a while. Or I could just update a couple times a week, and let it be a “whenever” kind of deal. If you have an opinion on that, feel free to offer your two cents in the comments.
I’ll be updating with something for yesterday momentarily.
Friday Pile Up!!
Your free pic this week originally hails from promotional material for the obscure game Quiz Capcom World!
This one stars many Capcom heroes and characters from the 80’s. Mega Man’s hanging out in the upper left corner, admiring the different Capcom aircrafts with a charming child-like sense of wonder. Pretty different from how Mega Man was being portrayed in the US in the late 80’s, that’s for sure! Art by Akiman.
A Day in the Life of a Servbot
First post of 2011! Felt like taking a little impromptu vacation. Did you guys miss me? There’s going to have to be some restructuring of the update schedule around here, but let’s figure that out later. And, speaking of schedules…
This time we’ll be focusing on some of my favorite characters. I’m sure it comes as a surprise to no one, but of course I’m talking about those lovable little LEGO kids who break all the rules on child labor, the Servbots!
Year of the Raybit
I wasn’t going to put this up, but then somebody went and dared me.
2011 is the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. It actually doesn’t start until February though, or something like that. Here’s a little thingy I put together while intoxicated, which also happens to be the recommended state for viewing this.
Happy New Year, X fans!
The Power of Love
There’s less than a week left in the year, so let’s end the year with love, memories, and joy! Not mine, but someone else’s. From the pages of CAP! magazine comes Love Love Capcom Characters!
Hideki Ishikawa draws some of his favorite Capcom faces. Naturally, there’s some Rockman love in there too! So snuggle up and get comfy, and we’ll warm our hearts this chilly winter with the power of love! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Peace on Earth? Ill Will Between Robots!
Because some some friends of mine agreed, we need more Terra!
Rockman vs Earth
202. You may have defeated me once, but you won’t defeat me again!
Enjoy your holiday break!
When Irregulars Attack
An irregular incident can occur any time, any place. Those closest to law enforcement know this best of all. As those on the beat will tell you, wearing a badge is no protection against a sudden and senseless attack from a rampaging repliroid. Hundreds of Irregular Hunters fall in the line of duty each year, struck down by the violence they’ve dedicated their lives to defending civilization against. Some of these irregular crimes continue to go unsolved. This is but one of those stories. If you have any additional information on these events, the authorities urge you to come forward. You may just be the one to provide the missing clue needed to close the case.
The following contains graphic images that some may find disturbing.
Viewer discretion is advised.
