The storyline is unique. However, the first thing that i find ridiculous is how World 3 and Gospel keep on losing to Netto. Since this is aimed at kids, I don't have a problem with the layout of this story. The only problem i have with this series is with Netto (well not with his character but about the results of every single NetBattle he has had)

This is actually good anime, it's just too bad that the Dubbed version skipped a few episodes here and there and messed up the order of the episode.

The story is good, but it lacks complications for Netto. THere are too many 'ups' in this story and not enough 'downs'. The 'ups' are too cliche and there's not enough variety of the NetBattles.

Also this is just series 1!!!!
There is two more series, Axess and Stream.
I have watched Axess. The story just gets better, and Netto and Rockman become even closer friends (literally). (show less)

so far so good ... but note that this is not japanese animation ...and about the age group (dialogue-wise) Id recommend it all ages (its PRETTY child-ish but realistic in a mad scientist way) Id really only recommend this to ppl who have played the megaman battlenetwork RPG combat series for GBA/NDS [[about five in total]] [which is better than the anime if uv'e played it]-but DONT go play it now because it is very old ((your ps3's and 360's will outdate it lol)). So if uve played em once and are just curious about what the anime had to offer (like myself) then this would be a MUST WATCH. But if ur just a megaman person Id recommend it as well. (The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is because (1) it is old so the animation is average but certainly NOT bad at all and because (2) lol - I haven't finished all 50 episodes yet (show less)
