NEW Review has been posted for "Cybersix"!
Sporting a delicious blend of flavors taken from the recipe books of caped crusaders, film noir, golden age sci-fi comics, 90s punk counter-culture, and what we now refer to as "retro anime", Cybersix is simultaneously all of these things, and yet somehow none of them at all, operating on a completely different sub-level all its own. It's a unique concoction of stackable influences, perfectly complemented by its subtle and often unspoken world-building, and its aura of mystery and frequent lack of explanation makes it the type of show that rewards patience and willfully investing one's attention. The best way I can sum up the series conceptually is: "A gender-bending cyborg and her companions - a black panther and a high school science teacher - are relentlessly attacked by the son of a Nazi scientist and an endless menagerie of B-movie monsters as they terrorize a big city somewhere in South America." And although that synopsis does rely on some extrapolation and just a bit of hyperbole, it also doesn't quite do justice to the vibe that Cybersix embodies, which is what truly sets it apart as an amazing show.
