About Cubix

Here is what Cubix (큐빅스) is about, retold in plain terms: a sci-fi anime by Xebec and Cinepix (2003). What the story covers: The year is 2040. Japanese robot technology is making remarkable progress; they can understand human language, and they`ve even succeeded in developing a humanoid robot that can feel emotions.

As things develop, the setting is a future town on the outskirts of Musashino in the Tokyo area, where humans and robots live together, "New Musashino City". In this town, our main character Ichiro and his friends, as well as some robots, all get along very well. Before these friends appears a mad scientist, Professor K, bent on taking over the world.

As a sci-fi title, ideas, tech concepts and production design set it apart. Voice work is led by Yasunori Matsumoto as Cubix and Shizuka Ishikawa as Ichirou Tsurugi. This one is best suited to fans of futuristic settings and big-concept stories. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
