Discotek Media has picked up another intriguing acquisition with the 2001 anime series Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier. The show was a more modern attempt at bringing Osamu Tezuka’s manga to life after the original series in the 1960’s. The series will be coming out on DVD and a Standard Definition version on Blu-ray as no high definition materials are available to them.
The show has some pretty twisty paths to being licensed that are worth checking out here.
Plot Concept: Skull, the evil leader of the terrorist organization known as Black Ghost, has nine powerful cyborgs under his control. But Dr. Isaac Gilmore, the Black Ghosts cybernetics scientist, decides to go rogue, helping the cyborgs turn against Skull and his evil organization.
Black Ghost wishes to start the next major world war by flooding the market with weapons of mass destruction. It seems the nine brave cyborgs have their work cut out for them, as Black Ghost is determined to bring those nine cyborgs down.
