I find it amusing that the cast is dominated by W alumni.

I'm confused. Both 009 and 001 are male. Why is the protagonist a female?

What is it with Koichi Sakamoto and Nao Nasagawa? They sure have been working together a lot lately.:lol

i think this may stop the confusion between "Cyborg 009" and "009-1"

Ah. Alrighty.

I'm in. I'll watch anything with Nao Nagasawa. Dem legs, man.

Holy damn that looks awesome.

0:55 uuuuuh...what?

I guess I need to lower my standards and rewatch the trailer, because I felt the contrary :lol

Someone needs to correct the story then cause this isn't Cyborg 009 related at all (which got may hopes up for a second there).

I felt the same.

Actually it looks exactly the same as his Travellers movie.

Cyborg 009ノ1
Cyborg 00Kunoichi
Cyborg 00Female Ninja

Interesting, will definitely give this a watch.

I agree. also If they did make a 009 live action I would want to see a international cast like in the anime with actors of different races portraying the appropriate cyborg

In my defence, I did do some research on 009-1 before I posted the article and did find that there was some connection between the two shows.:lol

Considering both the 009 and 009-1 mangas were created by Ishinimori, and both feature cyborgs I don't see why you can't connect the 2. No they don't take place in any sort of shared continuity. Primarily because 009-1 takes place in an alternate history where the cold war is still going. However, it should be mentioned that in the original 009-1 manga that some of the cyborgs from 009 DO appear in just a couple chapters. There is a connection if nothing else than through the creator himself.

Sharing a creator isn't enough to consider the two in continuity, though.
While the cyborgs from 009 may have appeared in the 009-1, that isn't grounds to call it "Cyborg 009-1," it's just "009-1."

I didn't say they were continuity at all. In fact my post made that clear I thought. I was only implying that they could be connected by reference, just that they relate to each via a shared real world attribute.

That's fair enough.

so wait then 009-1 why have i not heard of that i heared of cyborg 009 due to that idea help make super sentai just like skull man help make kamen rider both manga where altered to please the shild audiance back in the day.

Mao Ichimichi for me. She's my dream girl. :)
