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.

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