Android Kikaider: The Animation (人造人間キカイダー THE ANIMATION Jinzō Ningen Kikaidā - Za Animeishon?), the anime adaptation of the Japanese superhero Kikaider, was produced by Sony Animation and broadcast on Kids Station from October 16, 2000 to January 8, 2001, with a total of 13 episodes.
It was followed by the OVA 4-episode sequel, Kikaider 01: The Animation (キカイダー０１ THE ANIMATION Kikaidā Zero Wan - Za Animeishon?).
The Anime followed more of the manga, with a darker nature of Jiro's reason to exist. It was followed by said 4-episode OVA series, which was the finale. Afterwards, there was also an OVA special which teamed Kikaider with Inazuman, another classic manga/tokusatsu superhero created by Shotaro Ishinomori (This latter special has yet to be seen in America).
