Fuck yes, I'm so fucking glad Megaman got such a great tie-in comic.
>The redesigns were very hit and miss
Which redesigns don't you like? I think most of them look dope, even dorky ass Needleman looks badass. I blame this manga for making Ring, Star and Shade my favorite robotmasters, Ariga gave them great roles. Some of the stories are just plain good scifi, Skullman's tale and the one with the Copy Robot are awesome.

Fair, but I think it's mostly due to level design since you start with the dash and the other armor parts tend to be sensible upgrades? Most Classic and Zero games are excellent, but the only X games I'd call great are 1, 2 and 4, rest are meh to awful. X8 maybe, but it's really pushing it with some trash level design and the budget feels so scarce... I think I just give the game a free pass because it was a step in the right direction after three awful games.

>Isn't Ariga working at the pokemon company now?
Oh yeah, he designed a bunch of Gen 6< Pokemon, and does illustration work and the like. Man has been working for videogames for a long, long time, for companies like Quintet (Actraiser 2) and fucking Sega (Streets of Rage 2!!!), as object designer and artist. If you know that Ranma SNES game for instance, he was a pixel artist in that.

He also did the Big O manga, lmao. Interesting man.
