Cybersix (TV series)
Cybersix (サイバーシックス, Saibāshikkusu) is a Canadian-Japanese-Argentinian animated television series based on an Argentine comic strip series of the same name created by Argentine authors Carlos Trillo (story) and Carlos Meglia (art). The series was produced by the Vancouver-based Network of Animation (NoA) and animated in Japan by TMS Entertainment. Many of the comic's darker themes had to be toned down for the show in order to make it appropriate for all audiences. The series originally aired on Teletoon in Canada, Kids Station in Japan, Telefe in Argentina and Fox Kids in the United States.
