Pardon the delay, but it’s Thanksgiving Break and I’ve finally gotten around to picking up Metal Gear Solid 4, which I’ll make a post on tomorrow after I play around with it a bit more. Maybe I’d have liked the game better if the Gekko were constantly shouting that they wanted to eat Snake. Probably not. Episode [...]

Short Synopsis: Casshern meets a female singer. Highlights: Beautiful climax. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 (Awesome) Oh, this was such an sweet episode. It again classifies as “filler”, but I don’t care! Hah! Casshern this time meets a singer, whose songs have an interesting effect on robots: they annoy the hell out of the berserked ones (by lack of [...]

Woah woah woah. My judgment of this episode from last week’s preview was way off. Not nearly the lighthearted episode I expected it to be, though the last few minutes were far more bright and hopeful than this series has been in the past. First off, just because Ringo appears once in the preview, I should [...]

Short Synopsis: Casshern meets a woman who wants to create a bell for her church. Highlights: Interesting twist on religious themes. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent) The thing I like best about this series is not the main storyline, of how Casshern has supposedly killed the unkillable Luna, but rather the random stories that shape the world around [...]

  Also, handjobs. Impressions: Well, this episode was horrible. Casshern finds robots that cheat at cards and the crazy woman living in a giant decaying structure above them. She immediately gets all touchy over him (I think she said he looked like her younger brother, though they didn’t actually go anywhere with that) and then drugs [...]

Dio’s grand entrance is over, and now he’s ready to kill Casshern. Too bad for him Casshern’s got a posse, and as far as I can tell, if he hadn’t already let himself take such a beating, he could’ve easily overpowered Dio. I thought the fights in Kurozuka were cool, but when Dio and Casshern [...]

[ Episode 4: The Ruined Angel ] Sophita x Casshern ftw! This episode was very deep stuff. Sophita is easily one of the best characters that Casshern has met so far on his journey. Her ‘reason for being’ early on in the episode was rather interesting to me. Characters that love to fight aren’t exactly new but [...]

Having destroyed the world, Casshern will allow himself to be killed in order to save it. Dio tells Casshern that he can stop Ruin and in order to do so he will take his life. Casshern seeing this as a way to repent for his sin of killing Luna and plunging the world into Ruin, agrees [...]

And so I finally get to the end of my Autumn 2008 to-watch list. I must admit that I’m following a lot more new shows than I was during the summer (as in, three times as more), which is a bit daunting to be honest. On the plus side I have two whole weeks off [...]

Short Synopsis: Dio is also out to kill Casshern, but it turns out that he knows quite a bit about him. Highlights: The strange sort of sympathy from Casshern. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) This episode gives a proper introduction to what are probably going to be the main antagonists of this series. Dio claims that Cashern was [...]

Click pictures to enlarge them. uh...;;; Seriously, stop whining! I really hate, just HATE whining main characters. Main character Casshern is not only a whiner, but a sentimentalist, too. Bad, BAD combination. His whiny voice doesn't help either. Scri..글 전체보기

  Casshern… or the world. Impressions: Almost a totally awesome episode. I have no problems admitting that my attention wandered off a little bit at both the start and the end as the talking heads endlessly droned on with absolutely no motion whatsoever. At least Dio was saying relatively interesting things for the most part. I [...]

So far I’ve seen one episode of Casshern Sins, and it piqued my interest. I was a bit wary, since a friend had told me the movie Casshern is kind of bad, but I found the anime quite appealing. The art is retro-cool, the environment mysterious and barren, and most of all, the characters grab [...]

Yeah, I’m going to start blogging this one episodically. Hopefully it will be a more enjoyable experience for me than blogging Code Geass, since this series is actually good. Episode 5 gives us a closer look at the events that transpired after the death of Luna, as well as showing us that Casshern was probably killing [...]

Yeah finally, some plot progression. The start of the show as usual revolves around Casshern at the moment he’s about to kill Luna. She asks him why he’s going to kill her. Casshern answers that she is getting in the way of the person he works for. She then questions him whether it is part [...]

Short Synopsis: Lyuze and Ringo return. Highlights: How come Ringo and Casshern went to exactly the same place? Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 (Good) This episode returns us to the main storyline, when first Lyuze finally decides to show up and kill Casshern (she’s been following him everywhere, it seems). Even though Casshern still doesn’t remember what he did, [...]

  Aw… back up there already? Impressions: After last week’s very strong episode, this one feels rather poorly put together. It starts out with Cthulu Ringo and a bunch of refuge robot children, then totally drops it for 15 minutes for Lyuze’s backstory and another Jesus Casshern on the cross  scene. I had expected better from Lyuze honestly. [...]

Girl has some crazy eyes. Well, first off they changed the opening shot of Casshern and Luna again, so I think from now on we’ll be getting two seconds of different footage each episode. Not sure how the creators expect us to piece anything together from that, but it doesn’t really matter so long as each [...]

Impressions – Great episode. Really hope they don’t take too long to reintroduce Sophita back, despite how much of an emotional roller-coaster she is, as she can only express her emotions through battle. I’m glad she actually managed to stay alive by the end of her fight with Casshern, since Casshern does have a habit [...]
