Holy crap, I disagree, almost vehemently with all of those comments.

The OST I thought was fantastic. It darkened the mood and it was nicely orchestral throughout. The slow pacing is mostly from the mystery of the story behind it and annoying animation? Okay, I had a bit of laugh at that.

I honestly don't understand all the retro-backlash some anime tends to get. Even Goldo 13 had its share, but this Casshern remake obviously had a lot of love go into it.

The TOTAL retro look is just awesome in modern animation techniques and the brooding mood is just awesome in my book. If it takes it slow and steady, then so be it I'd say. Amazing OP and ED as well. I'd personally say this show fills in the 'serious show of the season' alongside Gundam 00, but this show is already looking more gloomy than 00 ever did.
