Synopsis: In a world where robots outnumer humans, Casshern kills humanity's hope, Luna, setting the world's ruin into motion. Casshern Sins is a revamp of the entire Casshern franchise, discarding the continuity of the original Neo-Human Casshern series from the 1970's, where Casshern battled the evil robotic forces of Braiking Boss. In Casshern Sins, Casshern works for Braiking Boss and has killed Luna upon his orders. The consequence of this act is the Earth's ruin (thus the "Sins" in the title).

  Delicious swords. Impressions: After last week’s angst fest, it’s nice to get back to the action with the slightly battle crazed yet infantile Sophie, nicknamed the Angel of Destruction by the robots. She finds meaning in life by fighting and causing the destruction that already surrounds her. If the world is decaying, then that must [...]

The fear of death plagues all sentient beings/”Why do I live?” Well, that was a much deeper episode than I ever espected to get from Cassshern Sins. But now that I think about it, the prospect of death for robots who have until that point thought they had eternal life could lead to some interesting psychological [...]

[ Episode 3: ] Friender is a ma…uh…robot’s best Friend. This episode was quite different from the previous two. That’s mainly because Casshern meets a human on his journey. It’s easy to forget that humans are still alive on such a dreary Earth but this one willingly wondered out to where robots reside. He’s [...]

This is on my out list. I don’t find anything interesting about a pretty-faced robot boy(called Casshern) being a killing machine. Too pretty ><! Though this was a remake of a very old anime, I still insist that this anime be put on the out list. I’m confused with the storyline too. Here we’re talking about [...]

Casshern is still in shock because he was unable to stop himself from massacring the entire village. Depressed and generally pissed at himself, he departs from the town, not however before he sees off Friender who is still watching over the rusting robot corpse of his former master. The rest of the episode focuses on Casshern [...]

Casshern Sins is 5 kinds of oldskool, except more trippy… and less oldskool… if that makes any sense. And yes, it has the occasionally horrible writing that goes with most oldskool productions. But it has more over-analyzable allusion-y goodness this episode. Instead of references to just one classic piece of literature this episode, we get an example of [...]

Short Synopsis: Casshern meets a man who travels alone. Highlights: Subtle drama rocks! Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the series with the most original and appealing character-design of the season is a remake of a series that came from the 1970’s? In any case, I really liked this episode. [...]

There are SO many yummy shows so far this season. I wish I had time to fully blog about them all. But, you know, it’s still volleyball season… Ridiculous lack of screencaps within. Very few spoilers, though. Casshern Sins 01 I was gonna go on a rant about how really-kinda-pointless that whole episode was. BUT then I saw the [...]

It seems as though the show may be heading towards the familiar, but always entertaining question of whether a soul can reside within a robot. Are there real souls within these robots, or is it the complex programming given to them by humans who created them simply fooling us? Was Roots and Wrench’s love for each [...]

I know what I like and I definitely know I like Casshern. Ruin has befallen the land. The once immortal robots have found themselves facing the cold-harsh face of death as they rust away because of Ruin. In the middle of it all is Casshern, the one who has caused Ruin to strike upon the robots, [...]

[ Episode 2: The World is Filled with the Voices of Death ] Ore wa, Casshern. I never expected to fall for Casshern Sins this hard. After a stellar first episode, the second continues the brilliance that makes me sit on the edge of my seat and lean just a little bit closer to my screen. Everything [...]

Casshern Sins is the remake of the original classic anime, Neo Human Casshern. When I heard that a remake was coming out, I was pretty happy because I'm a fan of the original. The original story is that Casshern turns himself into a cyborg to fight the evil robots that have taking over the world. Casshern fights along with his robot dog, his friend, and beautiful girl named luna. To my surprise the new series flips the happy original storyline to a much darker story. In the new story Casshern is on the evil side and kills Luna even before the opening credits of the first episode. The death of Luna some how causes the end of the world and a hundreds of years later, the world is engulf in a poisonous atmosphere that nearly wiped out the human race and it is also destroying the remanding evil robots. even with that funny 70's outfit of his, he still looks badassFor some reason there is a rumor that if a robot eats Casshern, it will live for eternity. Pretty much Casshern is fighting almost all the time try to survive but at the same time he is also trying to figure out who he is.Bishonen CasshernThis is Ringo, a cute robot girl who befriends CasshernThe interesting thing is that all the robots have there own personality, they feel pain, and they have a seen of regret, which I find funny that these robot have been humanized.Even thou that is a robot, that looks brutalThe one thing that may turn people off of this series is that you are going to feel lost if you have not seen the original series. I hope that in the later episodes they can explain the back story of Casshern.

To further make use of the Snapshots section, I thought it would be beneficial to showcase some of the second episodes for all the new series. Since neither Omni nor I have enough time to cover everything in full, I figured this slimmed-down format for the second week would be better than nothing. However, please note that I'm by no means planning to keep this up on a weekly basis after the second week, and it will likely only feature series that I'm continuing to watch, but don't have the time to cover in our usual way. As such, this is more of an impressions type of post, which I may adopt in the future if it proves to be popular. So without further ado...

Short Synopsis: Casshern ends up at a small refugee village of robots. Highlights: Surprisingly solid. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 As for the shows I’m not blogging (as usual, this isn’t really about “is this good?”, but “do I feel like writing about it every single week?): - I almost wanted to blog Tales of the Abyss, but then [...]

  Good boy. Impressions: I’m not as big a fan of this episode as I was of the first, just because the angst is starting to get cranked up quite a bit and I’m not sure if they’re going to be crucifying Casshern every single episode or if there’s going to be a little more depth to [...]

Toradora! The series didn’t really hit me as anything amazing, but I did enjoy the episode while it lasted. It’s a pretty ridiculous concept that the main character is thought of as really mean only because of his looks, my only impression I got of him when I first saw him was that he looked kind [...]
