Cybersix

I came across a Cybersix promo by chance one night while browsing through tv channels. As a long time fan of action based/Hero cartoons I was instantly intrigued. It's nice to see a female hero with her own cartoon, instead of her being just a sidekick or contemporary of a male superhero. Despite the fact that she wears a form fitting black rubber outfit and stilettos to fight evil, she's portrayed as athletic instead of sexy.

Somehow by just wearing a man's clothes, flicking her hair back and putting on a pair of glasses she upholds her gender bending masquerade by day. Lucas is either too wrapped up in his own little world to notice that Cybersix and Adrian look strangely alike, or he's the dumbest biology professor I've ever seen.

As an animation junkie, I was pleased as punch to find the show "Cybersix" on Canada's Teletoon station...the animation is done in part by a company called TMS, who did the best work on my favorite show, "The New Batman/Superman Adventures".

The work on "Cybersix" is better.

The characters move with a fluidity and grace that I've hardly seen in any animation, American or otherwise. If the scripts were half the equal of the animation, it would be one of the best shows ever put to video.

Yeah, the scripts are pretty weak. The story is very hard to understand, but that's what's to be expected when you deal with so many bizarre characters. They include the son of a famous super-villain, a reporter, a black panther, a homeless child, and the hero, Cybersix, who apparently owes her superpowers to the fact that she's a robot. Strange? Check it out.

This cartoon is by far one of the best shows I have seen. The animation is beautiful, and the story is original and cool. The show is about a cyborg named Cybersix, who escapes her evil creator, and disguises herself as a male teacher at the local Highschool. When her creator, Von Reichter discovers that she is alive, he uses his other creations to try and destroy Cybersix. The cartoon is filled with action, danger, comedy, and romance. This is a must see for everyone, an A+ Cartoon.

Cybersix is smart, beautiful, strong, sexy, brave-- the perfect woman. . . but she also happens to be a genetically-engineered experiment created in a mad scientist's lab. Because of this, she spends the whole series questioning her own humanity, while making us all think about what makes one human. This is a great show that simply never found its niche. It was a children's show animated in Japan, for Canada, based on an adult's Argentenian comic. It seemed to have been marketed to young boys, for some reason, though I think it would've been nice to bill it as an empowerment tool for young girls. . . or more profitable to make it more mature, marketed to a teen and adult audience. . . but it's a nice show with a lot of potential (and a small but loyal cult following) as it is. Way too late to hope for season 2, but could someone maybe throw us a movie, sequel/spin off series, video game, merchandise, anything? Animated or live, I'm not picky. *angelic smile*

Cybersix is a well made series that sadly didn't continue after one season of only thirteen episodes. The animation is beautiful, the action was good, the characters were cool and the music was good.

The villainous José was wonderfully over-the-top as the main villain set in place by his father who runs everything behind a layer of mystery. José may be evil, but you have no doubt about how evil the father is, because every time he turns up everyone looks terrified.

If there in any way could be created more episodes and the series could continue, it could have been one of the big hidden gems of the 90's. What we got was really good and promising, so why it was cancelled I don't know.
