Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier

This is an engaging story that involves some good-hearted rebel cyborgs versus the big corporate machine...in every sense of the robotic and figurative word. It's an adventure that includes a social message, even though it wasn't written for the US audience.

Poor 008, though. His English voice actor must be learning the business. Maybe his reading will get smoother as more episodes are revealed.

The closing theme, "Genesis of Next" by globe is one of my J-pop/trance/dance favorites. IMHO, it's worth tracking down the single or globe's "Global Trance" CD. It was a really neat surprise to hear it on my telly!
