Notes:
Cybersix is a series of Argentine comics first published in 1992, drawn by Carlos Meglia and written by Carlos Trillo for the Italian comics magazine Skorpio (Eura Editoriale). The series first appeared in Spanish in November 1993. The heroine of the series is the eponymous character, Cybersix (more properly Cyber-6), a leather-clad, genetically-engineered superhero who by day masquerades as a male high school literature teacher, and by night battles the monstrous biological weapons of her creator.
In 1995, the comics were adapted into a live-action television series, and again in 1999 into a thirteen-episode animated series by TMS/NOA, with positive critical reception from sources like the Pulcinella Awards
The Cybersix animated series debuted in Canada and Argentina on 6 September 1999, and was subsequently dubbed for French, Polish, Japanese, Malaysian, and Taiwanese. It was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha and NOA; produced by Herve Bedard, Toshihiko Masuda, and Koji Takeuchi; with storyboards by Atsuko Tanaka, Hiroyuki Aoyama, Nabuo Tomizawa, and Kazuhide Tomonag; and written by Catherine Girczyc, Carlos Meglia, and Carlos Trillo. Original music was composed by Robbi Finkel, and character designs were overseen by Teiichi Takiguchi. This show aimed at children by toning down the comics' darker themes. Two seasons of 13 episodes were originally supposed to be made but it was cancelled after the first season due to conflicts between production studios.
The title sequence and closing credits featured music composed by Robbi Finkel and lyrics written by Robert Olivier, which were sung by jazz vocalist Coral Egan.
On 28 April 2001, Cybersix won "Special Mention for the Best Science Fiction Program" at the Pulcinella Awards in Italy for that year's competition.
The series was on DVD by Discotek Media on 26 August 2014. The box set features commentaries with Cathy Weseluck and Brady Hartel on episodes 1 and 13
