Some female lead action? Oh yeah! The female character-oriented animes or storylines have a completely different fan base. Also because it's quite a rare and unique kind of concept in anime.

But, we have got a very interesting one here. The story revolves around Ai Kobayashi, a female warrior who is just back from the global war. She successfully made it through the war and now is in out where she met her former friend and lover, Jurota Kosugi.

She realizes that the boy she loved is now a cyborg resulting from his wounds from the war. She soon also discovers a new cyborg ethnicity, Bioroids. The Bioroids seem to be an eye-sore for the peaceful life of Olympus.

But, what triggers her the most is that the life span of Bioroids is seemed to be shorter and as if something is been controlling that. Hence, she jumps in to investigate this matter.

The movie got released in 2004 under the production company Digital Frontier.

Voicing against evil is quite an impressive thing. And the people who usually do it are indeed commendable. So let us praise these brave souls. An evil person Black Ghost had kidnapped nine men and women and had turned them into cyborg soldiers.

But, are they aware of the number of soldiers that are revolting against them? Oh, they will soon. The anime is a second-time adaptation of the manga Cyborg 009. It got released in the year 1979 and had a run time of 25 minutes.
