We’ll explore the characters in all of their various incarnations, talk about some of the topics they address, and even discuss some of the more problematic aspects of the series. So I decided that I’d go back and review all that I could of Cyborg 009 to celebrate the vast series that Ishinomori literally died writing. I enjoyed what I read of the manga, but it’s just disappointing that Cyborg 009 doesn’t get nearly the same level of recognition. Kamen Rider is by far the more popular Ishinomori title, and that’s very fair. Years later, I was happy to see new Cyborg 009 anime being made, but I noticed that Cyborg 009 still stands as one of those franchises that people just don’t seem to talk about very much, even when new stuff comes out.

Only half of the series got dubbed, so I was left without any resolution until years down the line when I was able to find a subbed version of the entire series. I first remember watching the 2001 series on Toonami way back in the day, and I was very disappointed when the series just kinda stopped. I love Shotaro Ishinomori’s works, but the one that has stayed close to my heart over the years is Cyborg 009.
