And he's going to be Alex Louis Armstrong... again! My brain hurts.

Well I finished the show the other day, and you guys I think already said everything there was to be said! I definitely need to recommend this show and I want to buy it on DVD, Blu-Ray would be amazing. The art, the music, the story-telling, they all suited each other so well and I thought that the ending was the best ending that this series could have (especially since it seemed likely that some characters would die by the end). So glad I decided to watch this.

Bision has oen of those odd military caps, Braiking Boss has a odd military cap with spikes coming out of it :P

Some fanart I saved.

Braiking Boss is surprisingly popular.

Yu Ominae · 2009-03-25, 00:37

I'll call him M. Boss.

Well I am a little late but as this was one of my favorite recent series I had to say something about the ending. Overall I was satisfied with the show. I really liked the themes of death & life the series presented. I am not sure if am completely satisfied with where Casshern ended up (being a symbol of death so to speak). I would rather he did not have to wander alone, it seems sort of depressing. I did like older Ringo though and I thought the two deaths were handled very well.

Overall I would give the show a B+ probably but the art in the show gets an A+. Definitely a very pretty looking series (and that is an understatement).

Sander RX · 2009-03-25, 13:32

Anime with a powerfull philosophical emphasis on life and death.

germanturkey · 2009-03-25, 23:42

i enjoyed this because it wasn't a particularly "happy" ending. shows like this need to be made as it keeps everyone grounded. to me, if it ended "happily ever after," i would have hated the show for that, since it would have gone against pretty much everything presented to us in the show.

on an off note, i've now listened to my favorite tracks on both OSTs 35+ times..

To close it all...

Spoiler for Cast for last 2 episodes:

Casshern · 2009-03-28, 01:44

The OST is killing me. It tears at my heart. This music is so beautiful...

That it is. Kaoru Wada has been doing that to me since the early 90s, with his breath taking score for Tekkaman Blade. It's because of such material that's made him personally one of my favorite composers.

5 eps in Tekkaman and D-boy still gives me the too cheesy creeps....

BlackDove · 2009-03-29, 06:30

Here's a question.

There are two versions of Aoi Kage by Otoya Kichiemon. There's the one that plays in the background, and there's the one that plays as the ED for episode 13.

The one that plays as the ED, is there a full version of it? In the special, only the KARAOKE of the full version is there, but not the actual song, aside from the ballad version.

Anyone got to the bottom of that mystery?

Kaoru Wada is the music composer of Tekkaman Blade??My God it can't be a coincidence that Tekkaman Blade was the reason I started watching anime..and now Casshern Sins is the reason to keep doing so...By the way I wonder if Tatsunoko are thinking about making a remake of the original series...with the modern technology Tekkaman Blade would kick ass....not to mention the great story,...But its a forum about Casshern Sins and not the proper place to discuss about it.

Don't want to go off-topic though i will just say this --- Tekkaman Blade is a show that doesn't need remaking. Not at all.

& yes, Kaoru Wada was the composer for it.

Watched this on suggestion of a friend. Darn, I wish I wasn't late to the party =(.

Spoiler for ep 24:

molitar · 2009-04-25, 19:46

This ending made absolutely no sense.. it was full of contradictions.. Ringo growing up but it stated in the series that robots bearing life was a failed experiment! So how can a robot grow up? And what was the stone that was so special that it had to be hidden until the right one showed up? How is Ringo special? NOTHING was answered.. the entire ending just felt like it was thrown together like the writers forgot what the story was. This was one of them WTF?? type endings.. hate them.. just means the writers quit putting their heart into the story and just threw it together at the end.

frubam simp for Lyria Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: on the Grandcypher Age: 40	Watched this on suggestion of a friend. Darn, I wish I wasn't late to the party =(. Spoiler for ep 24: LLLYYYYYUUUZZEEEE!!!! That was simply beautiful! SO so so beautiful. Knowing she was decaying and discovering her feelings for Casshern...I feel that her death has far more impact than her living. Trying to do the things that make you happy in the remaining time you have with the ones you love...there's something very ephemeral and majestic about it. I shedded two tears, TWO, which means it really got to me. I was actually expecting Casshern to kill Luna because much like the death that flowed from her first 'death' and Casshern gaining eternal life, life would flow from her second 'death' and Casshern would gain death in the process. I kinda feel sorry for Luna. When Casshern killed her, it's like she didn't want anyone to feel the pain of death, therefore, she became a source of life. When Casshern said he would be back if she forgot about death, she got that haunting image of him returning(that manic scream he does multiplies his fearsome image). An eternal fear of death that she can never escape and will always be looming over her. I feel that he's doing that in memory of Lyuze, which makes it even more heartwrenching to me.

the.Merines Seeker of Power Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: ΔHidden Forbidden Holy Ground Age: 39	Spoiler: I think it's said in the series that robots can "grow up" by replacing parts and whatnot, but the ruin made that impossible. The ruin comes to an end, parts can be made again, Ringo grows. Alternatively, it's heavily suggested that Ringo actually was Leda's child (though this was wiped from Leda's memories). As for the "rock," Ohji learned by examining it that the old Luna did not grant eternal life, but rather death to immortals. Why is this important? It sort of explains why Luna and Casshern are immortal, and also serves as a flag to show that the new Luna's power is different. __________________ I am bound to pay the debt I owe.
