Mega Man Star Force, known as Ryūsei no Rockman (流星のロックマン, Ryūsei no Rokkuman, Shooting Star Rockman) is an anime and manga series based on the video game of the same name. The series follows the adventures of Geo Stelar and Omega-Xis, a duo capable of em wave change to become the hero "Mega Man". Together, they combat various EM wave beings that threaten to conquer or destroy the Earth.
The manga was serialized in CoroCoro Comic beginning in September 2006, three months before the game's Japanese release. The anime series premiered in Japan on October 7, 2006, shortly after the conclusion of MegaMan NT Warrior. The anime concluded on March 29, 2008, with a total of 76 episodes. The anime was licensed and adapted into English by Viz Media. The English version first premiered online on the streaming service Toonami Jetstream on July 23, 2007, before making its television debut on Cartoon Network on August 25, 2007. The series was later added to Viz Media's Neon Alley series on June 1, 2015.
