Cybersix

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.

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.

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.

Based on an Argentinian comic involving Nazis, prostitutes, and mad science it's nothing short of amazing that this managed to squeak by the Fox Kids censors. The show animated by TMS who animated Batman: TAS and Animaniacs is absolutely beautiful with graceful movements elegantly choreographed upon the gorgeous backgrounds making up the fictional city of Meridiana. As an example of sheer tradecraft and technical skill Cybersix has few equals(except for maybe the Spawn animated series). The story however is where things become less polished the premise is certainly one that we've seen before where a creation(in this case Cybersix) rebels against an evil creator, but many details feel like they're either not expanded upon enough or are just flat out missing. In the first few epsiodes Von Reichter makes a good impression as an antagonist, but whatever good will is soon squandered as the true antagonist of the series is his whiny, arogant, brat of a son Jose who often feels like he's at a marked disadvantage to Cybersix because he's incapable of projecting menace or threat(especially with how often the show will put him in humiliating slapstick). Also the villains aren't given any depth mainly because they can't. In the original comic it's made clear that both Jose and Von Reichter are Nazis and there are some allusions to that in the show(such as Jose goosestepping when he walks), but because the villains have such a taboo connection in the comics the creators just pretend it doesn't exist so the villains never really achieve the level of depth we'd seen in contemporary actions shows like Batman: TAS. That's not to say that there were never moments of complexity on the show, episodes such as Terra and Daylight Devil put Cybersix into intriguing moral quandaries where Von Reichter's creations questioned their mission in trying to destroy Cybersix but for the most part many of the aspects were often avoided. As it stands, Cybersix is a flawed bu entertaining series.

I really enjoy watching Cybersix. She's my all time favourite anime superhero. When I first saw Cybersix I thought to myself: now here's a cartoon character that I can relate to. A woman trying to make it in a man's world. Just like Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman she's trying to conceal her identity from people she trusts as her alter-ego. The only one knowing her true identity being Data-7. It must be a tough life for her. Cybersix is the character that can be best described as a fun character with lots of charisma. I only wish we could have found out what happened to Cybersix and Von Reichter after the floating fortress exploded.
