In 2006, an anime entry of the Mega Man franchise aired on TV Tokyo in Japan. That anime was titled Mega Man Star Force or Shooting Star Rockman in Japan. The original Japanese dub of the anime concluded in 2008 with a total of 76 episodes. The English dub only edited 25 of the Japanese dub episodes and made them into 13 episodes.

The series follows a teenage slacker named Geo Stelar who is haunted by the disappearance of his father. Suddenly, without warning, an extraterrestrial from the Planet FM named Omega-Xis accidentally bonds with him. Little does Geo know, Omega-Xis possesses the key to accessing the weapon called Andromeda, capable of destroying planets. Omega-Xis then gives Geo a mission, he must protect that key before other FM-ians can use it for evil. FM-ians are creatures adapting from constellations like Taurus, Cancer, Pegasus, etc. Using the process called the EM Wave Change, Geo transforms into an EM Wave Human known as Mega Man. Other humans also have the ability to use the EM Wave Change to transform into EM Wave Humans like Geo.

If Mega Man Star Force was reimagined as another type of series, it would be a Tokusatsu series due to different colored outfits, fantasy violence, and special effects. Since the title of the anime has "Star Force" on it, it would be best to reimagine it as a Power Rangers reference. Mega Man has Omega-Xis as his partner, but CAPCOM will have to make FM-ian partners for his teammates. Not every anime deserves a second chance as a Tokusatsu series, but we can hope that Mega Man Star Force gets that second chance.
