Mega Man: Upon a Star, known in Japan as Rockman: Hoshi ni Negai o (ロックマン星に願いを, lit. "Rockman: Wishing Upon a Star"), is a Japanese anime original video animation (OVA) series based on the popular Capcom video game franchise Mega Man, produced by Universal Multimedia Entertainment, Capcom and Ashi Productions (who also worked on the American Mega Man cartoon in 1994). The OVA was presented by the Japan Center for Intercultural Communications, and acts as a series of educational shorts on the culture of Japan. The episodes were produced circa 1993-94 and wouldn't be released to home media up until a Japanese DVD release by Capcom on September 20, 2002, followed by a release in North America by ADV Films on January 4, 2005, although the order of episodes 1 and 2 from the Japanese release was switched for this release. It loosely adapts the events of Mega Man 5 along with original story elements. ()
