In mixing my recent streak of Megaman posts with my persisting fondness for anime, here’s a Megaman AND anime-related post.
I recently obtained the “Rockman 20th Anniversary Design Book” (or whatever its official title is), and in it I found out that the big blue dogs from Woodman’s stage in Megaman 2, called “Hot Dogs” In English, have a different name in Japan.
In the world of Rockman, this dog is called “Friender,” which is a very obvious reference to another blue, fire-spitting robot dog, only this one isn’t from the wrong side of the tracks from the series Neo-Human Casshern and its remakes.
It’s kind of funny realizing just how many of those games from childhood before you discovered anime turn out to have taken inspiration from anime.
