''Cyborg Kuro-chan'' was an anime that ran from October 2nd, 1999 to January 6th, 2001 in Japan. There were a total of 66 episodes created, though '''episode 66''' (the finale) was never seen outside of Japan. The plot of the episode is about Kuro having to take Princess Mimi shopping, as well as Kuro getting into a fight with Matatabi, Nana being reduced in size and a group of aliens making an appearance. The episode aired a few times and no DVDs have been released of ''Cyborg Kuro-chan'', so the 66th episode has not been seen since, and is impossible to find online, unlike the other 65. The only footage of Episode 66 on the entire Internet is in a 30-second sneak preview shown immediately after Episode 65. The episode is believed to air again in 2016 as Japanese channels AT-X and Teletama are rebroadcasting the entire series.
