Just don’t give up for it.
Dude me too!
In the state of Hawaii, April 12th was designated as "GENERATION KIKAIDER DAY " by the State Governor in 2002, and in Maui May 19th as "KIKAIDER BROTHERS DAY" by the mayor of Maui in 2007. And the 2014 reboot movie was a huge success in Hawaii. Also, the actor who played Kikader's unmorphed form (Jiro) was given the title of Honorary Hawaii Citizen. So, it sounds like KIKAIDER is quite popular in Hawaii.
Paul Shimura Kikaider also aired on Adult swim in animated form.
The 2001 version is the only one I’ve seen of the series and I really enjoy it. The series doesn’t get nearly as much credit or love as it should. The premise is fantastic.
Dillon Haggett if you have Netflix, give Cyborg 009 vs. Devilman and Cyborg 009: Call of Justice a chance. I don’t really care for the cgi of the latter series, but it’s good to see a new storyline with the characters we love so much.
The English language dubbing of the third Cyborg 009 series was utter garbage in my opinion: Cyborg 007 who was a British national spoke with an American accent. A bad attempt at a British accent would have been far more preferable; that would have showed that the company who adopted the series at least cared about the original source material (not that that would make matters that much better.)
The 1979 series was much darker, great OST and oddly compelling. Also, less cartoonish.
I live near Ishinomaki, Japan, and they have tons of Cyborg 009 flags downtown and a museum dedicated to Ishinomori Shotaro's work. BTW, its the same town that has "cat island"
Very interesting to see Foundation X being mentioned outside of the Kamen Rider continuity.
Also, kudos to you for using "Bright our Future" from Kamen Rider The First 😀
I wish there'd be an official subtitled release of the 1979 series. I grew up with and loved an atrocious Swedish dub of the series, and I'd also love to give the associated movie a shot.
They would have to do a LOT of context explaining with the racial stereotyping of 005, 006, and 008.
@@amyyoung2830 A quick on-screen notice before each episode would probably be fine.
If they wanted to explain why Pyunma is purple, though? I'd welcome some extras about the history and production of the series.
The second Cyborg 009 anime series from 1979, a joint Toei and Sunrise production, was an attempt to be more faithful to Shotaro Ishinomori's manga series. By far the biggest problem with the 1979 series is that it opened in _medias res,_ making viewers feel as if they were missing something. This was especially apparent when they made references to Skarl and the Black Ghost (whom they defeated well before the events of the first episode took place), and the Neo Black Ghost story arc that made up the second half of the 1979 series.
The 1979 tv series is in fact a somewhat source-faithful soft reboot of the 1968 series, despite being called a remake.
I never did finish the 2001 series. It's still one of my favorite anime tho.
It free on UA-cam and retrocrush if u wanna finish it
I found and bought that graphic novel at Half-Price Books a few years ago, but I didn't know exactly why it existed until now.
Besides the 2001 series, and the Cyborg 009 vs Devilman OVA, I don't think any other recent anime adaptation were good. Re Cyborg was confusing and terrible with one or two good scenes with CG but the rest was mediocre or bad. Call of Justice was terrible with one or two good scenes. The CG and the art style was worse than Re Cyborg and the story was okay but not good. If Japan isn't doing so hot with Cyborg 009 lately, then Hollywood would just push garbage especially with how political it is in 2019.
There’s also the fact that Devilman Crybaby and Devilman x Cyborg 009 are on Netflix. Crybaby was hugely successful and it got a lot of people watching the crossover OVA on there since it had Devilman but also introducing them to 009.
shared Ishinomori universe ?
yes please !
maybe add some No Nagai stuff
Funfact: FJ Desanto the guy who the graphic novel for Cyborg 009 also did the Transformers Wfc trilogy and the Prime Wars trilogy.
Awesome vid! A big fan of the Ishinomori franchise...especially 009.
Love tht Toonami music in background
I guess I stayed up till 1:30am to watch Cyborg 009 when I was 10 years old. I haven't watched it since but I loved it back then
I remember catching this on Toonami and loving it but I could catch the episodes in order. I later found a DVD release with the first half of the series but it was still a headache to find more episodes.
There was a dvd release with the first 9 episodes but we wouldn’t get the full 51 until the more recent discotek release
I like cyborg vs devilman
i love both devilman and cyborg 009
But wait minute cyborg 009 still aired on toonami. In fact toonami moved to Saturday nights so shows like cyborg 009 , yu yu hakusho, and samurai x can get away with more violence
When yu yu hakusho aired on Saturday Nights it was on the adult swim block. Cyborg 009 never got an adult swim run. They did play season 1 on toonami until they reached the end, but season 2 was only played on the cartoon network block at very late time slots (I think it was 1:30) which is not to be confused with the Adult Swim block
MercuryFalcon really are you sure because I remember them playing all the episodes on the toonami Saturday even block 6 to 9. And I already know yuyu hakusho fate .
I checked to see what Aldo the Fox said about the time slot issue. Aldo is an admin on the cyborg 009 wiki and a super knowledgeable guy. This is what he had to say:
"By this time (Episode 27), Cartoon Network moved Cyborg 009 over to their AM hours block on Friday nights/Saturday mornings, with the episodes airing at 1:30 am. One theory was that this happened due to the darker content of the second season, which prevented them from showing it in its original time slot on Toonami. The more speculated theory had to do with season 1's ratings doing poorly on Toonami, which caused the rest of the dub to be shelved and then burnt off in the late-night slot."
Also, (and this is me just remembering this) since season 2 never got a home release all the version of the dub online are TV rips. I have the TV rips downloaded and they were not ripped very well so you still see a bit of the commercial in between. At the time, Cartoon Network was doing this thing where before and after commercials, they'd have skits with the characters interacting with each other in a city. The TV rips ALL have these little bumpers where the Teen Titans are trying to get money from an ATM (or something like that.) These bumpers with characters interacting were only used on the cartoon network airings.
I'm not saying that I'm 100% right but everything I've heard, read, and remember tells me Cyborg 009 season 2 was not aired on adult swim. However, I could be wrong as information from that time isn't the clearest. But working with what I have, this is the best I could find and it seems correct to me.
“With the first episode having a lesbian sex scene” and you have just peaked my interest on 009-1 *watches the actual scene* on second thought, maybe not.
Instant sub
I wish the movie really happen in the future
Dang, too bad... I have strong nostalgic feelings for Cyborg 009 I remember being in grade school pretending I had an accelerator in my tooth.
So that's what happened to the 2013 comic. I wanted a full series of that, it's not fair!
The person who dislike this doesn’t know who he’s fighting for
I wished to see the movie: Cybrog 009 in cinematic universe. I believe this will be famous and great play as others comic movies as justice league and avengers.. I will be super to see them in movies.
I would love to see the Cyborg009 Anime adapted to Live Action.
Cyborg 009 movie sounds interesting 🤔
i hope one day tokusatsu in general geta more popular here in america cuz i need it
Weird, I remember watching 009 on Cartoon Network. I didnt know it got canceled.
Kikaider was aired on Hawaiian TV during the 1970's.
i remember watching it in the early 80s in hawaii too :D
There’s also 2 seasons of a famously underrated Android Kikaider anime by Aniplex, which mildly succeeded on Adult Swim.
The 2000's cyborg 009 was awesome
what's that song at the end of the video? it's bad ass.
I love how this whole time his goal was live actions adaptions and shared universe. People b*tch about how the west "butcher" eastern stories but he welcomed it
I will make it my life’s mission to direct a Cyborg 009 movie!
Never mind.
Don’t give up
Question: what's the track you use at the ending of the video?
Bright! Our Future, the theme to the 2005 Kamen Rider movie
Maybe one day since, Hollywood is now focus making anime into live action films.....
I don't know why, but I feel like Christopher Nolan could do a good Cyborg 009 movie. Maybe?
I really cannot find any episodes of donkikko when I'm trying to find the episodes they're not online WTF?!
They aren't online. In fact they are currently lost media. When I saw there were no episodes online I tried to see if I could import a DVD box from Japan and i learned it never got any home video release even in Japan.
Is the lesbian scene inspired by the snow Festival story in the manga?
1:23 What's that green furry thing?
Never knew Kikaider was that popular in Hawaii. If I remember correctly, didn't the 1979 009 series air subtitled in that area?
THE AnimeHERO its the anime hero yeah . Love your videos. But yeah I heard that the 1979 series aired in California and Hawaii area
The 1979 version was great and I wished the subbed version had stayed on UA-cam.
Btw if you guys are interested I got all the episodes of the 1979 version but only a certain amount of them subbed.
In the state of Hawaii, April 12th was designated as "GENERATION KIKAIDER DAY " by the State Governor in 2002, and in Maui May 19th as "KIKAIDER BROTHERS DAY" by the mayor of Maui in 2007.

So, it sounds like KIKAIDER is quite popular in Hawaii.
There’s also the first tv show based on cyborg 009, the infamously brief 1968 anime series. In France, it got dubbed in French, because the two anime films that preceded it were modest successes there.
I watched 009-1 recently, and god it's so good!
Hearing that it might've had more seasons to it, only to be canceled because of its more adult themes and left in a low viewership time slot, breaks my heart.
I would really like a Hollywood movie of Cyborg 009 but it will have to have a good story attached to it or else I won't accept it being live action. And to be honest with the track record that most superhero movies have now a days with bad storytelling, I'm in no rush.
2:12 this is the same Uslan who decided to produce the Batman films after feeling disappointed over how the campy tone of the 1960s series tarnished the reputation of the Caped Crusader
I said this in the video.
Skull man would have been great...
cyborg 009 is the anime version of x men
Was a live action Cyborg 009 movie, at least, filmed as a bootleg? Four years have gone by since your 009 biography video was put out. There must be something new happening now.
No, there's hasn't been anything in the works since back in 2012. They did an OVA and a netflix show but Hollywood isn't interested in the property.
The sad thing is, there really are people out there that think that schools that teach comics as a subject are a "Communist Threat"!!! Hahaha!!! This McCarthyism Red Scare really has gone WAY TOO FAR!!!
if they just remaster legend of super galaxy movie it will blow today star wars and usa comic movies. ı think enemy emporer zoa in movie was way better char than blackghost. black ghost is just vader. zoa was also smilar to palpatine to reach vortex universal power to immortality and control universe. rise of sky walker movie palpatin end of story was so lacking comparing the legend of super galaxy movie zoa end. zoa destroy himself when he reach vortex cant handle and scream laugh when die like joker. its way mature movie than any star wars will be if you ask me. sacrifse of albert as nuke bomb on death star like complex also best shocking moment after luke learn vader his father in that times. legend of super galaxy movie introduced west as star wars level when that and not just english dub wich was bad. ı watched as turkish dub which was legendary even star wars movies was dubbed level. maybe bcosue related to this man uslan. mentioned uslan name bcouse he seems have turkish famly name.
009-1 was just....I mean come on. The character was pretty much an Austin Powers Fembot with the machine gun breasts.
I kinda liked this manga.
It fell short in the fan service department.
Eighty-eightieth.
I tried watching the 2001 series because my then-gf was a fan. It was kinda boring and way too serious.
Failed? Says no one
Man that’s sucks man
Anime almost never translate into live-action
complaining about someone saying "…brother from hell" is the most WIMPIEST WOKE COMPLAINT I'VE HEARD.
