Hideki Ambo directs the project at studio Arect, with Atsuhiro Tomioka and CHARATEX handling the screenplay and sanorin designing the characters. The theme song is a cover of the 1979 series' opening "Taga Tame ni," performed by Kyōko of the rock band Barbee Boys. The original lyrics were written by Shōtarō Ishinomori himself.
The story follows a global organization called Black Ghost that turns nine captives into cyborg soldiers, who then rebel. The cast includes Yuu Hayashi, Tomokazu Sugita, Saori Hayami, Mamoru Miyano, and Junko Minagawa among the 00 Cyborgs, with a separate Nemesis group voiced by Yūichi Nakamura, Ayane Sakura, Maaya Uchida, and others.
