Megaman-Nt Warrior V11-Virus Busters (2002)

Editor's Note Transformed into a DIGIMON or POKEMON-style battle anime, MEGAMAN: NT WARRIOR is about the online adventures of Megaman, hero of the long-running video-game series. In the near future, even school kids carry personal computers that contain artificial intelligence programs known as NetNavis. The world may have entered a golden age of information and technology, but grand-scale computer-based crimes (most of which are master-minded by the evil World Three Organization) are on the rise. Fifth-grader Lan Hikari and his friends Dex, Maylu, and Yai use their particularly powerful NetNavis to fight online battles against World Three and bring the evildoers to justice. This 11th volume of the series presents episodes 41-44: "The End of the End," "Virus Busters," "Ice Ice Baby," and "Game Off."

Japan Hero 9 of 10
It's the impressive new cel-shaded animation that's so hot nowdays, baring a striking resemblence to the level of quality found in the collector anime, Digimon. Scenes shot in the internet have more of a blatant CGI look, remenicent of the film classic Tron with an anime sheen to it. The mesh of the two different styles work seemlessly and hardly, if ever, look or feel jarring. Fight scenes, I feel, are a step above Digimon and come closer in comparison to they hyper-martial art choreography style of Medabots. Those familiar with that collector anime series know this to be a definate good thing. - Keith Hayward
