Description So this was yet another animation for my class. I chose to go for a song since they tend to require less sound editing compared to an original script. And this song was actually on my list of "Songs I want to turn into animations". So its a win-win! Overall, I'm pretty proud of this animation, though I wish I could up the details of the characters and backgrounds, but one person doing FbF of a 1 minute animation is a lot of work in and of itself with only so much time permitted.

As for the song itself, it comes from an album simply called "Mega Ran". It consists of original raps and collabs inspired by (what else, of course?) the Megaman 1 soundtrack. The guy's so legit that unlike many other game inspired composers, he's actually been acknowleged by Capcom themselves: [link]

He's also followed up with albums of Megaman 9 and 10, and even a throwback album featuring raps inspired by retro games called "Forever Famicom". From Final Fantasy 7 to a rap about Jeremy Lin, Random's done quite a lot. And don't think nerdcore is all he does (not including that Jeremy Lin rap). He even does original raps that give a nice old school vibe. Even cooler, he's one of the more family friendly rappers who don't toss around swears to fill syllables, or gets too raunchy about whatever subject he's going on about.

And I can bet SOMEONE is wondering, 'Why is Megaman black?' Well its because this isn't really Megaman. Its Mega Ran. The songs pertaining to the album, though taking from the Megaman soundtrack, consists of Random's trails, tribulations, experience, adventures, and stories. So yeah, not a typo. Not an accidental color swap. :V

If you want more, you can find updates and albums of Random at his site: [link]

I think this is really neat. I can't wait to see what else is on your 'list of songs to animate ;D'

I wish I could suggest something but I'm not the best when it comes to animation. It's cool in my book if that counts for anything.

Spoiler: The rest of the songs on my list are Justin Beiber songs. :V ... I kid, I kid.
And any input/critique is always appreciated. You might very well point out something I never realized before.

So... wait? "X. Light"? Sounds like fanon to me. Nowhere in any official material does it say Dr. Light's name, first or middle has an X in it. His middle name hasn't even been given. Though I do see "Dr. Thomas X. Light" written here and there via Google.

Poor Megaran. Someone should really tell him.

I don't think his MegaRan/Megaman songs were meant to be 100% canon/accurate to the Megaman series. They're definitely inspired, but the whole "stay true to the original source" went out the window the moment he used the name "Megaran". Not that its a bad thing or anything. Also, that's just my perception; I cant speak for him. :Y

Also. I see you favor the Mega Man & Bass bosses for the "eight bosses" scene. Except Darkman and King. They're the odd men out there. XD

To be honest, I kinda just went for the first boss images I came across on Google images. I was really pressed for time, thanks to my class' due date.

Black megaman doesn't look all too bad.
They should do that once officially, just to see how much people freak out.

Regardless, very good animation. My only complaints regard to the lyrics, butI assume that's out of your power.
