Dear Reader:
Writer on upcoming Mega Man cartoon shares thoughts on fan reaction thus far
1 - I want to thank everyone for loving MegaMan and having such strong opinions. That's really cool...

2 - Even cooler when you express them with care and thought. Nothing I can say will counteract the shock you may feel when...

3 - An image released doesn't match the one you had in your head. Same with a storyline. A name. A set up. All I can say is what I said b4--

4 - We always set out with our partners to create the best show we can. That's all creative people do. All day. Every day.

5 - Some of what we create will suit your taste. Some will not. I only ask, as I did before, that folks wait until a show is on the air...

6 - Before assuming that their favorite thing is ruined forever. The whole reason I engaged folks last time was BECAUSE we respect fans...

7 - Just because our collective approach doesn't match your ideas is not an attack on you.

8 - That's all I have on this. I can't answer questions or get into specifics for legal, personal and creative reasons...
— Joe Kelly (@JoeKellyMOA) May 26, 2016
9 - But I hope you give the show a chance when it airs. Thanks for your passion and thoughtfulness. Best to you!

The fan reaction to the first piece of art hasn't been very good at all, which is what Mr. Kelly is addressing above. I have to say that I'm not too keen on the art either, but I'm willing to give the series a try. I'd like to see a trailer before I make a more informed opinion, but even then, I'll reserve final judgment for the show itself.
