History YMMV / Cybersix

* TheWoobie: Terra, from his self-titled episode. [[spoiler:Poor thing was one of the more sentient {{Mook}}s who wanted to understand love as Cyber knew it, but was forced to go after harsh alterations and verbal beatdowns from Jose, until the end when Terra sacrifices himself to rescue Cyber from burning to death.]]

* FandomRivalry: With ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies'', at least with Creator/{{Teletoon}} viewers. Fans of ''Cybersix'' were upset that season 2 wasn't going to happen while ''Mega Babies'', a show that they perceived as [[ToiletHumour low quality]], continued to air for ''five'' seasons. (This related to both shows airing in the US too; ''Cybersix'' only aired briefly on the Creator/FoxKids block and was ScrewedByTheNetwork-- as were lots of other shows-- in favor of ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' and ''Anime/MonsterRancher'' as to compete against Creator/KidsWB and ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', while ''Mega Babies'' aired on FK's sister network [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family]] and, owing to the mess that channel was in, was one of its' highest rated shows, leading to its' aforementioned extra seasons, which not even its' own creators, the [[WesternAnimation/SwatKats Tremblay brothers]] anticipated).

!!The original comic
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The original comics were far more popular in France and Italy than in Argentina, or in Latin America, for that matter.
* {{Squick}}: In the original comic, while Jose is stated to be [[OlderThanTheyLook not really a child]], he still looks and behaves like a child. And he is also stated to be ''very'' sexually active, and even [[spoiler:rapes Lori off-screen.]]
!!The Animated series
* AdaptationDisplacement: The animated series is more well known than the original comic.

* IAmNotShazam: Sort of. The lead character's name as written on her left arm is 'Cyber 6', and the comic explains that she is the last survivor of a previously-wiped-out 'cyber series' (occasionally referenced in the show). But the title sequence says 'Cybersix', and characters often pronounce it that way, run together as one word.
** The only character who calls her "Cyber Six" is her creator, Von Reichter.
* LGBTFanbase: Considering it features one of the few nonbinary-coded, possibly genderfluid, protagonists out there along with a possibly bisexual love interest, absolutely.
* {{Macekre}}: Largely averted in the sense that most of the darker elements, such as Von Reichter's being a Nazi, are not censored, but simply glossed over and not overtly mentioned.
** A little bit of the more sexual content was censored, though. For instance, Lori's "valentine" from the first episode was an offer for a quickie in the hall in the original.
* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: While having a character who is a ''giant'' Japanese racist stereotype. How does it do this? It takes a guy with extremely squinty eyes, glasses, and AsianBuckTeeth who knows kung fu and whose {{Leitmotif}} is done with a Japanese instrument... and it makes him a [[Franchise/{{Batman}} brilliant detective with a grappling hook, lots and lots of ingenious technology]], and the most insane biking skills in the world, while also being able to figure out Cybersix's identity using genuine detective skills and physical agility that allows him to actually keep up with her. His little sister, sharing the teeth and eyes, drives the stereotypes home even further by being [[CultureEqualsCostume dressed in a kimono the entire time]]. She's still adorable, though, and is able to keep her cool while [[spoiler:being kidnapped, which is impressive considering how young she is]]. In the show's defense, however, this was an episode that was based off a storyline in the original series, and the designs were likely lifted from the comics too.

* {{Squick}}: The scene where Lori flirts with Jose in "Lori is Missing" becomes less funny when you find out [[spoiler: Jose raped her in the comic.]]
** Speaking of Lori, most of her moments in the comic is this, considering her [[{{Yandere}} creepy infatuation]] with Adrian (aka Cybersix) and how she attempted to rape him.

** And it's pretty clear that his kung fu was just meant to confuse the Fixed Ideas. José eventually waves them aside and tries to perform some kung fu of his own, only to fall on his butt as Yashimoto makes his escape.
** The obvious one, he figures out Cybersix's identity using genuine detective skills and physical agility that allows him to actually keep up with her.

* TearJerker:
** The ending of the episode, ''Terra''.
** Also, when it appears [[spoiler: that Cybersix is blown up in the last episode. Though it is implied she is alive at the end of the episode.]]
** In the last episode, perhaps it's because of the music playing at the same time, but [[spoiler:the deaths of all the mutated creatures created by Von Reichter when his lair is destroyed]] is surprisingly a little poignant. While they look grotesque and hideous, despite that they are shown to be rather intelligent and not malicious, as the only thing they do once freed is [[spoiler:to attack the man responsible of their current condition, not Cybersix]]. One of them even silently shows Cybersix a way out and even smiles at her, as if to say to her that she has to go without them, while the latter clearly looks sad that she has to leave them in order to escape.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The original comics were far more popular in France and Italy than in Argentina.

** Also some of the features of them, like the buck teeth, were shared by a number of Caucasian characters as well.
** Plus his voice is ''anything'' but stereotypical "Asian." He actually ''could'' stand in for Batman if he wanted.
** On one final note, the show was an InternationalCoProduction between Canada and Japan. So clearly, the Japanese staff must not have found any of it that racist or stereotypical.

* ValuesResonance: On the plus side, most modern audiences relate to this show and to a lesser extent the comic due to having a protagonist that can be seen as genderfluid and not portraying Lucas as unusual for wanting to spend Valentines with someone he assumes to be a man.

* ValuesDissonance:
** In one episode, two of the Asian characters have buck teeth. Sure they are nice people, and they are one shot characters, but that would not get into a kids show today.
** Lori having a crush on Adrian, her teacher, would similarly be incredibly difficult to portray as comedy in the modern era with an increasing awareness of abuses of power.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z22seoMxgpI The opening theme song]].

* HoYay: Many of Adrian's and Lucas' scenes come off this way.
** Lucas invites Adrian to see a romantic comedy with him. ''He even winks on the word "romantic" when he offers!''

* AnimeThemeSong: The show was produced with help from a Japanese studio, the theme song breaks the convention of the time and feels more like an anime theme song than the traditional western animated TitleThemeTune
