Description ===EDIT 09/08/10

WE HAVE PETITIONS!!!

Petition for streaming Cyborg 009 on American websites . This is American only because they block them from other countries.

Petition for releasing Cyborg 009 on DVD . I know several of you have merchandise you import or get someway from America, where ever this DVD is released, I must ask you to do that again.


===END EDIT


Well, this is part of my answer to the question of the week over at Anime News Network . The question is:

"What old series/movie are you interested in that the new crop of fans is completely uninterested in? Why do you think that is? What steps would you take to reverse it."

UPDATE!! My post and comic was posted! Just scroll to the bottom of this article . Glad to see several 009 fans commenting in the forum ^^

Well, I don't think I need to tell you what series I enjoy XD

Seriously, this show had a prime place to gain a following, the Toonami block on weekdays in the 2000's was THE PLACE for animation. But, it didn't garner enough favor to appease the rating gods and it was banished to like 4:30am. What is more disheartening is the series never ran its course in broadcast, missing the last 4 episodes, and we cannot even view it through other means like a streaming site or DVDs.

It just makes me sad. I wish, I could petition streaming sites to run the series in full, that would be a dream, though, I am unsure how to go about doing that.

In Italy this new serie never came hahah so I had to search for RAWs and downloading the SPANISH VERSION WHICH IS SO BAD DUBBED IT HURTS.
I want someone to sub the serie because the 2001 one needs to have a decent sub. 8'(

Anyway that's such a cute style for cyborg eheh!!!

oh yeah! I didn't realize the Spanish version was bad. They talk WAY too fast for me XD

ACTUALLY! Someone is subbing the 2001 series into Italian! D: You'll have to track down Meg though, don't remember who it is.

Thanks ^^

This is great! I love yborg 009, then and now, and hardly anyone knows it! My family and I introduced our youngest kid (8 years old) but he only got to see the nine episodes. I Hope they do more! By the way, i love all your comics, and general ccyborg 009 fan art. even managed to paint a few pics of 004 that my sis drew for me!.

I know, it is such a shame this show is harder and harder to find fans

There are more episodes on the internet (mostly on youtube and other sites I can link you too) but if we could have a DVD release, that would be glorious!

I'm so glad you enjoy my work, and so glad you commented, I always love to chat with people

OH! I'll check out your drawings too *but bed first* XD

It is a shame, and a DVD would be amazing! I have the entire set in japanese but the english subs are terrible! (who knows why?) And yeah, If you ever want to chat, feel free!

I hope you like what you see when you do, even though I don't have many!

Oh you are interested in a DVD release? Did you see the petitions in the comments of this comic? :3

They really are! We laugh at the terrible translations because the words are so off sometimes, but you can get the idea of what they're saying.

Yeah I did see the petitions, and think it's a great idea, though it may never come to fruition 9that would be so sad!)

We're trying to promote them as best we can. If you can mention to friends, email, facebook we'd appreciate it!!! ^^ Even if we don't get to 1000, I will send it to companies before then and see what they think. :3

That would be amazing if they actually did it! I only ever watched it in english when it was on TV since I was a lot younger (toonami on cartoon network XD) and when I got older i missed it. years later, we go to big lots and find the DVD and I just about die!

I love this show so much I'm the girl who ripped the Aussie DVD's and nobody in any community even seemed to know they existed until I put them online. I wonder how many other people even bought them I SHOULD HAVE SAVED UP AND BOUGHT THEM BY THE CASE!!! it's so frustrating to think about because their release was packaged like it was intended to continue, unlike the stupid US uncut release. cuz that one didn't have a volume number on it anywhere (that I remember) and the way they put the last two episodes on their own DVD and SIX on the first was so WTFFFFF. WHAT ARE YOU DOING SONY. but the aussie one said "volume 001" and all the episodes were balanced

anyway it is awesome you made this!!! it is great and you are wonderful! I hope it gets attention at ANN I wonder if the show is still licensed here

inertbiscuit In reply to creamedpotatoes [2010-08-03 18:27:16 +0000 UTC]

oh gosh, bless you, bless you! <3 I have no idea how long of an undertaking that is, but its allowed so many fans from around the world to view it. It's such a shame, you would hope since they released that awesome, big set, they would finish the show. But, I guess not. I wonder if sales were that bad...

LOL, US release, I mean, I'm glad for what little we got. But I think they just marketed it wrong. A company that doesn't typically do anime released it, they usually do mainstream TV or movies. So, they must've thought it would be huge. But anime is never that big XD

thank you for the kind words! Actually, on a recent podcast on ANN, he told a fan 'if they could get 1000 signatures on a petition for show 'ABC', he'd contact the liscensor for streaming rights. So, I think I'm going to start one... we'll see!

Oh God. I had the same problem. XD

I used to watch the show all the time when it was on Toonami. I'd record all the episodes and rewatch them over and over again to make sure I didn't miss a single detail. XD I miss those days. I really wish they would have just aired all the episodes. In the past, I actually found a few of the later episodes in Japanese on YT with subtitles. I have no idea where they are now. They just vanished. :< To this day, I still can't find any of the later episodes and it makes me so sad. T^T I'm glad to see more fans. I thought I was the only one because everytime I ask someone if they ever heard of it, I always hear a "no" even though they used to watch Toonami themselves. lol

X'D I think all of us have that problem!

that's so cool, I do that with shows I love too. oh yes, those eps on YT, that user is suspended, so D: BUT! There is another place to see them! Go here! [link] or here [link]

It's getting harder to find because studios (american AND Japanese) are getting serious about protecting their property) which his sad, becuase this just is NOT available anywhere D:

awww, they don't remember?! I do! ^^

This. A thousand pounds of _this_.

I've loved this show for years, and was lucky enough to get the first few episodes on DVD (brand new at a Value Village, of all places), but I'd still kill to be able to watch the entire series again...or in general, because I missed quite a few episodes D:

I might have guessed, but it's always good to ask. He's one of my favourites, too. (I can't really think of anyone who likes the series who doesn't like him, actually...) Personally, I like 005 and 008, but I have to admit that 002 is the source of some of my favourite moments in the show :3

Yeah, I kinda feel bad about always liking these characters in shows that are designed to be the likeable. XD Oh gosh I love 005 too, he's a fascinating character, written a fanfic about him, trying to do another XD

But if we didn't love the characters that are designed to be likeable, they wouldn't be likeable...that makes sense, right? XD
Aha, my fanfic love for 005 manifested itself as a sue, so I took it away from the eyes of the world and hid it in my hard-drive *sweatdrop* But you've written 'fic for him? I'll have to hunt it down :3

I love it how you mention the series being on Toonami for a short time. The episode I got up to by far was like when they stop Black Ghost (their first time) which was like episode 25 or 26. I am like currently trying to re watch the whole series itself right now.
