009 RE:CYBORG Surpasses 100,000 Viewers! Special Goods and Events Planned

009 RE:CYBORG has attracted over 100,000 viewers since its release on October 27, and it will now be shown on more screens throughout Japan.

Due to the overwhelming support by fans, two plans to give back to fans have been announced. The first is the distribution of special merchandise. On November 10, the Wald9 theater in Shinjuku, Tokyo began giving away special limited edition 009 RE:CYBORG trading cards to moviegoers. This promotion will be broadened to all movie theaters in Japan starting in December. The cards come in ten different varieties: nine depict each character from the movie and one depicts all nine characters from the movie. The cards even come signed by the voice actors! A double-sided promotional flyer will also be given away that has 009 RE:CYBORG on one side and the original CYBORG 009 on the other.

The second plan is a series of events called “9 Big Events”. We still don’t know many details about this, but it has been announced that one of the events will be a special talk and teach-in by 009 RE:CYBORG director Kenji Kamiyama. Stay tuned!
