It's very cool. Gorgeous to look at. Especially for 2008. That was really a transitioning period for anime. Really detailed and oozes coolness. Badass action. It wasnt even that depressing. I remember it ending on a somewhat hopeful note.

Code geass was boring and not even underrated. It's pretty fucking mainstream.

>>150366210
I love this show, even if a little slow at times the art style and story are well done, i need to re watch this someday.

Casshern Sins is one of my favourites. It's one of those shows you have to sit down and watch on a cold night and just absorb the atmosphere of the slow journey.

>>150367133
How is it a megaman rip off when casshern has been around since the 70's?

I wasn't on /a/ when this happened. Watched it later and teared up like a bitch. How was the thread after the episode aired?

>>150367177
I'd recommend anyone watching it regardless of whether it's subbed or dubbed. I think the sub version is better overall but The guy who played trunks in DBZ plays casshern which automatically makes it great.

It is definitely something to watch on a cold winters night.

Look at this faggot.

I need to re-watch this since I don't remember anything about the plot at all

Just got the complete series S.A.V.E edition blu ray on rightstuf's website for $13. They had a Black Friday sale a week ago. Usually it would of been over $30. Was afraid that I was gonna be stuck with that ugly green SAVE label on the cover but luckily the cover is interchangeable with a regular cover.

$13 plus shipping for a 24 episode high quality anime with special features and a interchangeable cover. That's pretty dope. The only thing that would of made it better would be a slipcover.. I am now done shilling.

It's Dark Souls with robots, Casshern is an amnesiac Dark Lord and Braiking Boss is Gwyn.

>>150367546
But what about Luna?

>>150367041
I disagree, I think it looks empty, heartless and deeply uncool.

>>150367546
U mean Planescape?

>>150367546
Don't say there is robots cause it would mislead people thinking it's some boring mech shit which it isn't.

>>150366210
Good concept marred by shit pacing and loads of redundant exposition. It was especially bad early on when characters were repeating minutes-long stretches of backstory that had already been established earlier in the same episode. I'm also probably going to piss people off by saying this but I didn't like the character designs (particularly the way faces were drawn) to the point where it distracted from my enjoyment of the series. Still I enjoyed the odd episode enough to watch until the end; the episode with the belltower stands out in particular.

>>150367596
It is empty dumbfuck. All humans are dead. Watch the show before judging it.

Is Casshern the most "hopeless" anime?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP6d_N1wQu4

>>150366210
I wouldn't call it "underrated" nor "legitimately great". I think "okay" is the word you're looking for.

>>150367683
It is underrated because it's great yet no one seems to talk about how great it is, and no "okay" is a bad word to use. It may be "okay" to you, but that's not a good word to describe the show. Deserves better than that. Okay belongs to shit like kill la kill or your lie in April, and even then I'm being generous with that rating.

Watched the remake like four years ago. It was OK. Definitely not the best thing I've seen, but it had a great vibe and interesting character designs and art style. In terms of story, I couldn't really get into it, especially the part when he almost ends up with the girl but then everything gets fucked up and it ends with nothing.

I'd recommend people watch it just for the art style alone. Desolate landscapes and beautiful, perfect, glassy eyes go very well together.

It's bittersweet

After killing Luna, he seals the fate of everyone, meaning that Lyuze and Ohji rust away into nothing at the end, and Casshern is left caring for the young Ringo.

However, we see Ringo at the end as an adult in a world that has obviously recovered a lot of its natural life, with Ringo/Casshern philosophizing on the nature of death, and how it's an important part of living.

Friender best bro.

i remember the series having some insane action sequences. Like casshern would tear through robots like fucking paper. was awesome.

>It's a masterpiece tbqh.
agreed. The only other anime taht came out in that era that I consider to be really really high tier is maybe Michiko & Hatchen. I can't really think of many off the top of my head that I felt were breathtaking.

>>150368322
Michiko was boring as fuck to me

>>150368141
But he didn't kill Luna

>>150368345
He didn't?

Maybe I'm getting the flashbacks confused with the ending. Everything else I wrote still stands, his actions decided that outcome.

>>150368330
it's okay. we all have shit taste now and then. you dont like M&H, and I didnt like evangelion. we're both not perfect.

>>150368374
He didn't kill her. In fact, he left her alive so that she could continue to grant immortality to the rusting robots. However he warns her that if she forgets about the value of death, he will come back to kill her for good. It was one of the best scenes in the series honestly.

>>150368374
He didn't kill her in the ending

>>150368450
Ah fuck dude, I need to go rewatch it.

what are the odds of getting more casshern? maybe not like this series, but i think it has potential to be a great shounen type superhero series. I didnt much care for the 4 OVA's but I think it could be great done right.

>>150366210
It was great. For whatever reason, the shitty live action movie sticks out in my memory more then the anime does for some reason. Must of been the drugs.

>>150368835
I never understood why people waste their time watching live action versions of anime. they have never ever been good and most likely never will.

it was nice but repetitive and boring

I remember dropping it

This thread sure is full of empty fellating. Which just proves that this show really hasn't done anything noteworthy in terms of story, characters and themes. Not only is it dull it's also technically unimpressive so it's not a surprise why it rarely gets mentioned and underrated definitely isn't the reason for it.

It was boring as fuck, dropped it around episode 10.

>>150370568
i also thought the same thing. as of now, I still think Lupin III still has the best backgrounds, but casshern is easily top 5 in terms of shows and not movies.

Nigga wut. Art and animation are top tier.

im not sure who came first the dog or the kid(probably the dog)
but it looked like casshern was about to go insane from the loneliness and the hatred.
several times I actually teared up

but the kid was the last human or half-hybrid? does that mean the ending implied more like her were gonna be born/made to produce life again? been so long.

l liked it. The OP and "A Path" were fucking amazing, l don't remember much about the soundtrack or the show in general because l watched it forever ago, but l know l enjoyed it.

Certainly a masterpiece. Very few anime have the same overall artistic quality as this gem. We will probably never know if the director should receive all the credit or if it was one of those miraculous moments where all the team shared the same passion and artistic vision, but one thing is certain -- it's not an overstatement to say that Casshern Sins is one of the greatest anime ever made. Episode 23 in particular is the highlight of the series: the culmination of this beautiful tale, in a masterful blend of clever and imaginative directing, coupled with the captivating visuals and music, and the exquisite script of high literary value.

The problem with the show is essentially nothing happens and every episode is the same thing. The root of this problem is that Sins is an unneeded sequel. Everything was covered and better explored in the original Casshaan, this felt like it should have just been a music video. It's the definition of all style no substance, flash in the pan cool animation wasted on essentially no premise.

>>150375168
Don't people like you ever realize that maybe they're the ones not capable of seeing the substance?

>>150375018

>>150375256
Burden of proof is on you buddy.

>>150375256
There is next to no substance in Casshaan Sins, it was the equivalent of a gritty reboot done as a sequel to the original show. It's literally a grimdark epilogue that goes over the finale of the original repeatedly, there is no substance. It's fine to like the show but don't pretend there's anything substantial, especially not when the original exists.

>>150375347
The choreography may be mediocre but the quality of animation was top notch you have to admit.

>>150375537
Choreography/directing is a huge part of what makes an action cut impressive. Sins was band as all hell in both of those areas.

>>150375759

>>150375973

>>150376220
I don't have webms but I do have lots of screenshots that can prove you partially wrong.

>>150375677
>Are you fucking for real?
Yeah I am, it was done as a gritty sequel that was filled with a lot of dark visuals/lighting and a big ol bucket of angst. I consider that grimdark similar to all the gritty series of the past.
