I was looking to purchase this series
called "cyborg 009" full and uncut
which is 8 episodes?

I would like to get all episodes,
and I thought there was like 26?

is it because the rest have not been released in english?
thanks!

is there anyway to get all episodes?

what do others use to get a series? is this a common
thing?

sorry for the newbee questions.

Pretty much. Sony apparently gave up on releasing the rest of the series after reviewing the sales numbers. Sad

There are.

They've all been dubbed and shown on Cartoon Network, but Sony discontinued the DVD release after eight episodes due to extremely low sales.

Only if you want to resort to bootlegging.

What, not fully releasing an anime? No, it's not. Most companies always finish releasing an anime once they start.

No problem. Oh, and it's "newbie," not "newbee." Damn n00bs. Laughing Kidding, kidding.

Actually, there's 51 episodes, according to the encyclopedia. It seems that four were unaired in America though, one was skipped and they left the last 3 off.

I'm also disappointed that the whole series wasn't released. If I could have found an mailing address at the time, I was all set to send them a complaint letter about their one DVD release as well. ^-^;
