009-1
(Zero Zero Nine-One)| 009-1
Anime Synopsis: 009-1 is an action anime centered around Mylene "009-1" Hoffman, a cybernetically augmented female espionage agent, and her team of similarly named 009 cyborg spies. The 009-1 anime takes place in a cold war like era where two countries simply referred to as the East and West Block have endured over one hundred years of fragile peace. Each side has been openly building up conventional and nuclear arsenals and many fear of another war erupting in the near future. Despite the 1970s atmosphere of the series, the technology is very advanced; the moon has been colonized and cybernetic body enhancements have been developed. The 009 team is composed of: 009-1, the main character and unofficial leader of her team. Her specialty is acrobatic close combat and she conceals two machine guns in her breasts (yes, boobie guns! Like those fembots in Austin Powers). Mia "009-7" Connery, she has the ability to shape shift her face and mimic voices, so she can disguise as anybody. Vanessa "009-3" Ibert, the technical expert of the group, her body is augmented with all sorts of high tech espionage electronics. Berta "009-4" Kastner, her augmentations involve mostly projectiles such as grenades and tracking devices. The 009 girls answer to their boss, Number Zero, who briefs them before their missions. In the first episode, members of the East Block has been secretly developing a new energy weapon, one far more powerful than nuclear bombs. 009-1 and her team must use infiltration, subterfuge and seduction to gather information on the enemy organization. To rescue the scientist who developed the new technology, they must storm the enemy stronghold and hope they aren’t too late. The 009-1 anime can be best described as a cross between a 1970s James Bond movie and Charlie’s Angels. Even the orchestral music was very reminiscent of the Bond movies. Music production was done by Aniplex (R.O.D. the TV, Fullmetal Alchemist). The characters were deliberately left with the 1960s era character style. It may look awkward to some, but I think it gives 009-1 the right classic feel. Overall, 009-1 is a good action packed anime which doesn’t take itself too seriously. Any fan of classic spy thrillers would love it. |
