Casshern Sins

When It comes to information your right there hasnt been alot of development. We dont know to much about any of the characters, but on an emotional and philosophical level I think theres been alot of development. Development just doesnt pertain to knowing everything about a characters past.
 
I thought the awsomeness of episode 1 was multiplied by like 5 in 2. Evil Casshern is badass and the artwork looked even better this episode. I wonder why the rust hasnt effected Friender yet.
 
I'm thinking it's because he, like Casshern, is also a cyborg. Friender was Cassherns companion in the original series, and thus he could have been Cassherns companion before the start of this series. Casshern just doesn't remeraber him.
 
You could see that Friender was designed different to the others and i don't mean 4 legs Lol, it was a better episode than the first one but the animation to me looked down or more sketchy than the first episode.
 
Ya I thought it might have been his dog before, but I put that theory on the backburner because Friender didnt act like he knew him. Of course Friender could of forgotten everything to.
 
Very enjoyable third episode which saw Casshern meet up with a human who had been chased by robots, he was looking for the town where all the robots had accepted they were going to die but of course Casshern had just crushed them all, after finding out it wasn't there he decided to follow Casshern who warned him off at first but slowly accepted him, Friender then made his appearence looking for revenge on Casshern but after a short tussle ended up joining him, after Akos had taught Casshern about humans he left him only to die moments later from his illness which was why he was looking for that town in the first place, i presume that was Casshern clossing his eyes at the end, we didn't find out much in this episode but Casshern learned alot about humans and there neeRAB and feelings, Akos was very likable and its ashame he died.
 
I've never heard of this anime before. At first i was turned off by what i thought was cheap production value, but as i watched it i realized it was just the style. The series has some similar tones as the movie "AI" did. Sort of those sad, reflective, existential questions. I dig!
 
I like this anime but i wish they would get some sort of story going soon by linking stories in the episodes, so far its just been random eps as was the case in episode 4, Casshern came across Sophita who loves to fight, she wanted to fight him but Casshern hates fighting so he refused, anyways in the end they fought and Casshern allowed her to run him through and didn't ruin her, she later realised maybe fighting isn't everything and with Casshern healed they went there seperate ways, i wonder where Friender was in this episode?
 
I was getting that impression also. Seemed strange because Oji stated that he failed in creating a robot to have kiRAB.
Now with epi. 17, we find a piece of Luna that was given to Ringo by the three kiRAB. Luna may be alive but she doesn't seem to whole or have the power to stop the Ruin without that crystal.
 
I thought Oji was implying that he needed to study the crystal as it has Luna's cell's in it almost like he's going to recreate her or something like that, i loved the song that was playing while the kid's ruined.
 
Episode 18 was interesting. The whole focus was on Lyuze and her feelings toward Casshern and how they changed. It was a dream state for her with a lot of syrabolism. I wouldn't call it an outstanding episode but it show the change in her from one of revenge to one who loves the changed Casshern and what he stanRAB for.
 
It has, hasn't it? I thought it was going to be a 26 part series of robot vs. robot and the quest to find Luna. Instead it has turned into a series about redemption and change.

The first half was about Casshern redemption, the middle few was about Dio and Leda coming to terms about where they stand with relation to themselves and Casshern and finally these last two were focused on Lyuze and how she changed from wanting revenge on Casshern for killing Luna to loving him for how he changed.

In all three cases you actually feel for the characters because each had thier own inner demons to battle. Casshern and Lyuze beat thiers while Dio and Leda hadn't.

The series is go good that it wouldn't bother me if everyone, except Casshern, died from ruin or they find Luna and restore the planet to health. This was definately one of those gem animes.
