Cybersix is an exciting animated TV show from Japan and Canada. It's based on a popular comic strip from Argentina. The series was made by Network of Animation (NOA) in Canada and animated by TMS Entertainment in Japan.
The show is about a brave female android named Cybersix. During the day, she pretends to be a male teacher named Adrian Seidelman. But at night, she secretly fights against the evil scientist who created her. This scientist, Dr. Von Reichter, makes many strange creatures called "Fixed Ideas" to help him. Cybersix has to stop his plans and save the city!
The music for the show was created by Robbi Finkel. The opening and ending songs were sung by Coral Egan. Cybersix won some cool awards, like "Best Animated Production" at the Leo Awards in 2000. It also won a special award for "Best Science Fiction Program" in Italy in 2001.
