5.0 out of 5 starsStraight from childhood memories
By Sean Mehollin on May 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
Sci-Fi channel aired this decades ago during this week of anime thing they had going. It was the Wednesday night show that week, with Demon City Shinjuku being Monday, Lily C.A.T. being Tuesday, 8-man After being Thursday, and the crazy Project A-Ko Battle One: Gray Side, Battle Two: Blue side on Friday. The story begins after machines have taken over the planet, plunging mankind into slavery. A resistance group plots a coup, when the mysterious Casshan shows up to wreak havoc on Android BK-1's machine forces.

The show was every bit as good as I remembered it being, and I'm glad I purchased it. If you're into post-apocalyptic stuff, or if you liked the concept of the world Terminator came from, you'll enjoy this. Well... if you're into anime. But if you're not into anime, then why are you reading this? ;P

4.0 out of 5 starsSurprisingly touching yet old-school animation
By J. Balconi on June 28, 2013
Verified Purchase
I ordered this after having seen the final part of the Casshern Sins series. The storyline of these 4 episodes made more sense, particularly in the motivations of the villains and protagonists. Luna's love for Casshan and the conflict between his robotic reasoning and his human feelings lent a surprisingly touching air to the overall story.

The animation was definitely old-school, having a hand-drawn quality rather than a high-gloss CG feeling. Slow-motion and image repeating is used to good effect. The soundtrack is a rich orchestral sound that gives it a cinematic quality. The introduction of the robotic swan is really gorgeous.

The only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 was the uneven vocal and occasional clunky animation. For example, the narrator is a bit intrusive and the Japanese catchphrase "If Casshan doesn't do it, who will?" is a tad cheesy. I listened to both tracks. I must admit that I preferred the English voice actress. The original Japanese voice actress for Luna sounded shrill at odd times. The English actress because she had a quality that reminded me of old SF actresses (e.g. Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers) and seemed to fit this genre well.

3.0 out of 5 starsHow Terminator: Salvation SHOULD have been!
By J. Alford on July 2, 2014
Based on a 70s anime TV series by Tatsunoko Productions(the creators of Gatchaman), Casshan(or as it's known in Japan, "Casshern")has gone on to inspire a live-action movie, and a TV remake titled Casshern Sins which was featured briefly on Toonami. But this particular 4-episode OVA was a gritty retelling of the original TV series which on its own was also the main influence for none other than Mega Man as both are about robot-fighting android superheroes with jet-powered robot dogs.

Set in a world that seems like Terminator: Salvation totally ripped them up, a mad mega-android named the Black King(or BK-1)has lead an army of robots to take eventually conquer most of the world with pockets of humanity fighting for survival. Casshan is first viewed by the resistance as a legend or a martyr for their hope, and he finally steps forward with a frontal assault on Black King's fortress along with the busty blonde Sailor Moon lookalike, Luna. He succeeds in freeing some human prisoners, although it's never really said why the robots bother keeping humans around other than for forced labor. One project has the robots forcing the humans to build a bridge to transport troops across a canyon by train, even though it would be just a easy for them to carry them by plane or helicopter. Casshan is in fact an android given the memories of a young man named Tetsuya whose father was the one that originally created Black King, even though it went all HAL 9000 and decided to eliminate all mankind. Casshan also has the the spirit of his mother inside a strange robo-goose, but he ultimately hopes to free his father's spirit which is being held somewhere inside the Black King himself, although whether it might be Tetsuya's father controlling him is a mystery to him.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsI always felt this was a decent 'update'
By Owen Sargent on February 8, 2014
Verified Purchase
Stays true to the original in a lot of themes, changes up designs in interesting ways, much shorter, a little helping of boobies, no zombies in sight, fun music. It's just as 90's as the original was 70's. I really like it a lot.
