History WesternAnimation / CyberSix

* YellowFace: Yashimoto's episode wasn't air on the US due to it been considered too racist for the depiction of both Yashimoto and his sister as stereotypically cartoonish Japanese (almost out of a WWII propaganda). However the show was animated by Japanese people themselves and they make clear they did not felt offended, the episode aired with no problem in other regions.

** Surprisingly, Cybersix's "Adrian" persona is ''not'' a CoolTeacher. While extremely academic and clearly fond of his subject, he's pretty dry, has little tolerance for antics, and meets Lucas when certain students ambush him for turning down Lori's attentions. No doubt he'd be promoted to CoolTeacher if the students realized what "Adrian" was up to in his free time...

* TokenNonHuman: Data 7 who is a Panther with a human brain (Cybersix consider herself not to be human, but by all practical purposes she is).

* YellowFace: Yashimoto's episode wasn't air on the US due to it been considered too racist for the depiction of both Yashimoto and his sister as steteotypically cartoonish Japanese (almost out of a WWII propaganda). However the show was animated by Japanese people themselves and they make clear they did not felt offended, the episoded aired with no problem in other regions.

''ComicBook/{{Cybersix}}'' was an Argentinian comic book that had its rights bought by the now-defunct Canadian company Network of Animation, who then passed the animation duties off to the Japanese studio Creator/TMSEntertainment, and the result was this cartoon. One of the first shows produced in association with Creator/{{Teletoon}}, the series lasted from September to November, 1999 for a total of 13 episodes and is considered a classic in Canadian animation and by longtime viewers of the channel.

* CapeSnag: In the first episode, one of the minions grabs Six's cape and uses it to throw her across the room.

The series lasted from September to November, 1999 for a total of 13 episodes.

Despite its gorgeous animation, a likable and interesting plot and characters, the show only had 13 episodes, and did not receive a DVD release in English until almost 15 years after it aired. Luckily, its 13 episodes form one continuous StoryArc, and it ends satisfyingly. For years, it aired irregularly in Canada and France, so other viewers have largely had to depend on the kind souls that KeepCirculatingTheTapes on Website/YouTube. The English version went live on Creator/{{Hulu}} in 2013, and it finally received a DVD release in late 2014 thanks to Creator/DiscotekMedia. As of February 2020, the first three episodes can be legally watched on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHlhHImKxyE&list=PLj2Ugc-vxcWG40YiVkqJql0vge0qy_TGF&index=2 TMS' YouTube channel,]] with the entire series on [[Creator/PrimeVideo Amazon Prime]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Even when this animated series was notably LighterAndSofter than the original comic, it was still able to get away with several stuff quite...uncommon for a TV-Y7 show.
** For starters, José goose-steps ''everywhere.''
** When Cybersix first suits up we get many teases of her showing something revealing as she strips her Adrian clothes. Prior to her putting on her suit, we get a brief glimpse of a SexySilhouette of her naked upper body.
** Whenever Elaine is in Werewolf form, she is practically nude with the fur covering her body. The only time it's covered up is when she changes back to her human form.

By night, Cybersix is a female superhero dressed in leather fighting the creations of her own MadScientist creator, and putting to rest the bizarre schemes of his son. By day, "Adrian" is a male high school literature teacher, fending off one of "his" amorous students and trying to hide her SecretIdentity from her best friend and love interest, Lucas. With him, her black panther SideKick Data 7, and street urchin Julian, Cybersix defends the city of Meridiana while fighting monsters for the sustenance she needs to survive.

* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Lucas, whenever he turned into a werewolf in episode 10.

By night, Cybersix is a female superhero dressed in leather fighting the creations of her own MadScientist creator, and putting to rest the bizarre schemes of his son. By day, "Adrian", a male high school literature teacher, fending off one of 'his' amorous students and trying to hide her SecretIdentity from her best friend and love interest, Lucas. With him, her black panther SideKick Data 7, and street urchin Julian, Cybersix defends the city of Meridiana while fighting monsters for the sustenance she needs to survive.

* EverythingFades: The show used some odd video game references that are almost certainly unintentional. When defeated, the Fixed Ideas evaporate, leaving behind a pile of clothes & a "Sustenance" vial (what actually keeps them alive). What makes this weirdly video game like? The vial they drop is something Cybersix desperately needs to stay alive. It's literally a health power-up for Cybersix.

* TheBigGuy: Lucas, amusingly enough for a show's main LoveInterest. He's big enough and strong enough to be able to go toe-to-toe with Fixed Ideas and actually hurt them, though he never wins any fights with them, and he's shown to be capable of taking a ''lot'' of punishment.

''ComicBook/{{Cybersix}}'' was an Argentinian comic book that had its rights bought by a Canadian company, who then passed the animation duties off to [[Creator/TMSEntertainment a Japanese company]], and the result was this cartoon. The series lasted from September to November, 1999. A total of 13 episodes in a single season.

* EmbarrassingSlide: Provides the only bit of background the audience got on Lucas: that he was once a scrawny boxer.

* ArtEvolution[=/=]ProgressivelyPrettier: Lucas is fairly ugly-looking in the first episode. As the series progresses, his design changes slightly to be a little more handsome as befitting his role of LoveInterest.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Anytime someone makes a joke at Jose's expense, his thugs usually laugh at it.

* CircusOfFear: Jose menaces Cybersix with a fake circus full of mechanical animals in "The Greatest Show in Meridiana".

* FeatheredFiend: The mind-controlled blue birds employed by Jose and Von Reichter in "Blue Birds Of Horror" (which comes complete with homages bordering on gratuitous to ''Film/TheBirds'')

* FutureSlang: 3 kids threaten Adrian in the first episode using incomprehensible lingo.

* {{Oculothorax}}: TheMonsterOfTheWeek in "The Eye" is a floating eyeball that gets bigger with every soul that it sucks out.
* OhCrap: In the first episode, when Jose confronts Cyber Six for the first time, he at first just saw her as some vigilante nuisance. However when she shows her identification number, he's the only one who seems terrified of her at first as he, much like Von Richter, thought the Cybers were wiped out.

* SharedFamilyQuirks: Both von Reicter and Jose seem to think they are SurroundedByIdiots.

* YellowFace: Yashimoto's episode wasn't air on the US due to it been considered to racist for the depiction of both Yashimoto and his sister as steteotypically cartoonish Japanese (almost out of a WWII propaganda). However the show was animated by Japanese people themselve and they make clear they felt no offended, the episoded air with no problem in other regions.

* CreepyGood: Cybersix and Data 7.

* DumbMuscle: The Fixed Ideas.

** When Cybersix first suits up we get many teases of her showing something revealing as she strips her Adrian clothes. Prior to her putting on her suit, we get a brief glimpse of a silhouette of her naked upper body.

%%** Pretty much any trick that Julian has shown at the beginning of the episode he will use later.
* CircusOfFear: Episode 11.

----
!!Episodes of this series provide examples of:
* CircusOfFear: ''The Greatest Show in Meridiana''
* {{Oculothorax}}: ''The Eye''
* PrivateDetective: ''Yashimoto, Private Eye''
* FeatheredFiend: ''Blue Birds Of Horror'' (complete with homages bordering on gratuitous to Film/TheBirds)
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Play straight through most of the series, but in "The Greatest Show in Meridiana", when faced with a giant computer that controls robotic monsters, Lucas simply [[spoiler: unplugs it.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comic, Fixed Ideas are almost too much for Cybersix, so she avoids them when possible (in the first comic, a Techno gives her considerable trouble). In the show, they go down with a few punches, with even regular human Lucas being able to take them on, and both Fixed Ideas and Technos evaporate into a pile of clothes and a vial of Sustenance when killed or electrocuted, presumably because in the comics, Cybersix bites into their neck to obtain Sustenance, which was probably deemed unsuitable for a [=Y7=] audience.
