As a large fan of the Cyborg 009 series, this movie felt like a personal offense. The movie is a darker, 'realistic' reimagining on the series and its characters. This isn't inherently a bad thing, of course, but it comes off as following the current trend of gritty remakes instead of trying to understand its source material.

The plot is confusing whether you are familiar with the show or not. It might help to be acquainted with the characters and their backstories beforehand, but the movie doesn't even try to explain its own universe. What little there is of the story is given through large, boring ...

There's a new fashion in the anime industries the last few years were old school manga are either adapted to anime (like Parasite and Jojo's bizarre adventure) or they are getting reboots (like Sailor moon and Hunter x hunter). Yet in Cyborg 009's case things are different. The classic manga of Ishinomori sensei has three anime adaptations and even more movies. Is like the anime industry wants to introduce to every new generation this classic story. I myself have watched the 2001 version when I was a kid and I can say in a way that I grew up with it. I recently watched ...

Story
I haven't watched the original series, and i didn't understand most of what was going on. however, i got the basic message of the movie. the movie was great in many ways and i was highly entertained.
Art
The art was outstanding. the environment is a mixture of 2 and 3-d rendering. the buildings are especially exquisite and i loved the characters interaction and movement. although, they could have done better with the sea. they remained stagnate. most individuals will probably not notice.

Sound
The movie sound was great. the voice actors did an amazing job in my opinion.

Character
For a 1 hr movie you ...

Re: Cyborg 009 is, in a word, disappointing. As a fan of the 2001 series since childhood and a great admirer of the studio which worked on this (Production I.G., who are responsible for such wonderful series as Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex) I expected great things from this darker, more realistic take on the classic franchise. Sadly, despite a promising start and beautiful animation, the film falls flat on its' face, resulting in something which may be worth watching once, but which cannot stand up to even the most cursory analysis.

It would ...

Now before beginning a few things that I need to say. I haven't watched the original 009 series which was aired before i was even born but I have watched the 2001 remake when it aired in my country. I have forgotten most of the storyline but I do remember bits and pieces and the feeling that I had when watching it. Cyborg 009 (2001) was possibly the second anime I watched and it was absolutely stunning! at that time. My review down below is taking into consideration what I felt when I first watched the series.

When I watched the movie I was initially excited ...

So when I saw this in the store I knew I had to have it, as I remember watching the 2001 show growing up. I loved how the cover looked and as soon as I got home I watched it. Sadly, I became instantly disappointed.

The art was entirely CG with a weird outline of 2D thrown in. It was very off putting but I hoped the plot made up for it. The plot itself was very confusing and if it wasn't for the little guidebook they put in with the DVD combo pack I would be soooo lost. The fact that they have to ...

Like many anime fans, I'm guilty of under-appreciating the visuals and having my feelings swayed mostly by the story and in particular the characters. Although I want to rectify this, I don't really have a good eye for animation details. So while the spirit is willing the eye-flesh is ... uhh ... what's the visual equivalent of tone-deaf? Art-blind? Anyway, despite my art-blind eye-flesh, occasionally I find myself gravitating towards an anime because of some awesome visuals.

And that's what happened in the case of "009 Re:Cyborg", which, despite having heard that the story makes no sense, I've been wanting to see ever since I was ...

Let me first point out that the old series was incredibly corny and flunky by today's standards. However, at its time of airing it had a lot of relevance, mainly due to the historical context of the Cold War and political climate, something this movie failed to include when adapting it for the current generation. Buildings being bombed in the name of God... it sure does seem like a subject that could make a point of modern terrorism and politics, but instead it turns into a pseudo-philosophical quest to search for God.

The villain of the movie is illogical on every level. While the series ...

After 32 years of the previous movie, Production IG took Toei place and did a remake of the series.

This time around instead of mechanical monsters or aliens that are threatening the Cyborg team, its suicide bomber!

Yeah.

Let me just say the kid stuffs has been replaced with adult theme problems, as the cyborgs reassemble to fight for humanity in 21th century. I mean seriously, what do you expect from the studio who made Ghost in the Shell?

When I start to watch this movie, or any of these movies, I try to keep an open mind so that my judgement wouldn't be clouded by what ...

*First Written Review of Anything in the Internet, Ever Warning*

I need a map to find out where the hell to start with contemplating this masterpiece. And by needing a map, I mean it pretty contextually, because by god this is a very convoluted movie.

I didn't exactly grew up with this show. I had watched an OVA of Devilman a looong while ago. I fell in love with it growing up. Then Cyborg 009 vs Devilman popped up on Netflix. Now, I wanted to give it a go, but I wanted to know about Cyborg 009's origins before I watched those OVAS. I'm saying all of ...

This film... this film...
I purchased this film for $2.99 in HD on iTunes. So this is definitely the easiest way to get it. (3.5 GB needed)

If it weren't for the story, everything would be wonderful. The art and animation both make use of 3-D and 2-D blending. The colors are vibrant, and I can see what's going on. They went out of their way to make the VA have non-stereotypical accents native to their country, which is a nice touch on the dubbing I had only previously seen with Unbreakable Machine Doll. (Though I kept the expecting the 2001 VA) It's why I gave ...

Good animation and a beautiful soundtrack ruined by nonsensical ramblings on the nature of God and religion, which I'm not quite sure the scriptwriter knew anything about.

The animation is good for CG animation. It's Production I.G., after all. Faces were a bit wonky at times, especially Francoise's, but nothing really all that bad.

The music is fantastic, and by far the best part of the movie. It was done by Kenji Kawai, who is well known for his work on Ghost in the Shell and Fate/Stay Night, so the high quality comes at no surprise. On the flip side, the voice work was fine. Nothing really ...

well this really stands out as a weak point compared to everything that came before it as all the other series kept a similar tone while this says fuck the tone the other series had it wants to be edgy action which makes it feel nothing like a 009 series it has the characters but that is about it

story 4
the story had a basic action movie kind of plot were they once again have to team up things happen to ramp up until the climax were they have do something to stop many people dying but for some reason the movie also decided to throw ...

I saw this for the first time, and quite frankly, I fail to see how this anime - based on the 009 Cyborg series, apparently - is given so much slam and so much rage against it. Personally speaking, I actually loved this anime. I actually find it to be a really well thought out movie which introduced a new viewer to the series itself.

Story

The thing which made this anime standout, for me, was how the anime itself addressed the question of "His Voice", and actually carried itself not just that as a plot device, but also the in-anime presentation to proceed with the anime ...

This shall be short or at least that is the aim.

Firstly one must not require previous knowledge into this franchise to enjoy this movie. Prior knowledge would help greatly and help understand the background and relationships of the characters a lot more but most certainly is not a requirement.

One of the elements i enjoyed most about this movie was its sound. Everything from the music to the sound effects to the voice acting, very easy on the ears in all respects. One thing i can’t stand is when a simple explosion feels wrong because it sound like nails on a chalkboard. I can only imagine ...

The Cyborg 009 series is an outstanding series, however this movie doesn't quite like up to that. Though the visuals and sounds were outstanding, I had a mediocre experience.

I understand the apocalyptic theme and if executed well, the story works. However, there are a tremendous amount of holes in the plot that make the entire story make little to no sense. There were many questions left unanswered about various points made in the story. The is especially directed toward the ending, which made no sense. How did they all end up on a remote island-ish type place? How did they survive? Where did ...
