Cybersix (Japanese: サイバーシックス ) is a Canadian/Japanese science fiction television series, based on the comic strip of the same name by Carlos Meglia. The series was produced by the Vancouver-based Network of Animation (NOA) and animated in Japan by TMS Entertainment. Many of the comic's darker themes had to be toned down for this show in order to make it appropriate for younger viewers. The original music score for the show was composed by Robbi Finkel. Its opening and ending songs were composed by Robbi Finkel with lyrics by Robert Olivier and sung by jazz vocalist Coral Egan. The series originally aired on Teletoon in Canada, Fox Kids in the United States, Kids Station in Japan and Telefe in Argentina.
