base/forte with a cloak reminds me too much of his exe version(my favorite version of him tbh). also I would love an actual good anime adaptation of rockman/megaman; not the goofy saturday morning cartoon kind but one that takes itself seriously with overarching plots and darker tones along with a well developed and beautifully designed cast of characters(like the ones we've seen here). sure there was the 2002 battle network anime but it also felt like it belonged with the aforementioned saturday morning cartoon kind of anime on the same realm as pokemon, albeit not too goofy like the 1994 american megaman but still. I mean if shingeki no kyojin, boku no hero academia and kimetsu no yaiba can make it big in anime and exploded their respective franchises overall popularity, I don't see how an already iconic series such as rockman/megaman can't.. if they only put enough care into it. then if its successful they could go straight to the x series(but perhaps don't overuse sigma this time?) and then finish it off the trilogy with the zero series.
Have you ever checked out the promo video they sent out for the Saturday morning cartoon? The initial version was much much closer to the games and in fact were pretty much on spot with Rockman OVA. I'd love to see this being taken on again, not this weird GCI show from a few years back which takes place in its own world.
