Old cartoon ramblings

[aviatrix]

I cannot seem to find a movie of the opening sequence to Cybersix, and I have an urge to see it again, dang it... (I managed to find the .mp3, though, as well as a movie of the equally lovely end theme.)

If anyone recognizes what Cybersix is, then you get a cookie from me, since it was primarily shown in Canada on Teletoon and shown very briefly on Fox Kids... It was a cartoon about cape-wearing, black-spandex clad heroine named Cybersix; she was a basically enhanced human, trying defend her city from her evil creator and his maniacal son.

Overall, the cartoon was okay, with a very distinctive animation style... Still, how can you not like a heroine who moonlights in the day as a man (and whose love interest is her best friend, Lucas, with whom she works with? XD). Not to mention that the production itself is partially Canadian... *waves Canadian flag* ;)P

Another part of the show that always amused me was that the person who did Cybersix's voice also did the dub voice for Shampoo from Ranma 1/2. XD (You'd never be able to tell it was the same person!) Also, the voice actress does a decent job as the male alter-ego, about on par with what a Japanese seiyuu would be like, in a similar role.

I know Cybersix!! *WAVES CANADIAN FLAG* My ex was totally obsessed with it.

I always thought that she genetically changed at nighttime ... Adrian was just way too masculine hisoverall body shape was different, and it wasn't improbable, considering the other things she could do. It never SAYS so, but seriously, their physical bodies DID seem different.

My problem with the show was that I really didn't like Cybersix herself :p I loved Adrian. Completely different personality, after all. But I couldn't stand Cybersix XD

That show is relaly like an anime in a lot of ways. I really liked it. I agree, Cybersix's voice actor played an EXCELLENT double-role.

I always thought that Adrian just wore very loose clothing to disguise the fact that he was really a woman... And after searching through some of the Cybersix sites, they do confirm that she is indeed always female (in fact, they also explain why her alter-ego is male).

I'd also have the agree that the show is very anime-like; in fact, Cybersix happens to be a joint Japanese/Canadian production. ^_^ Oddly enough, the series itself is based on a very dark Argentinian comic, of all things... (I had presumed the series was French, myself. ^_^;)

BTW, I can understand why you'd prefer Adrian over Cybersix herself; he is such a sweetie. ^_~
