Casshern Sins Episode 5

Casshern angsty by himself again.



Missing for the whole episode of episode 4, Friender arrives.

"Are you crying?"


Claw Blade Girl shows up. Wanting to kill Casshern again. Told Casshern her sob story, about her sister. How she died because of him.



Claw Blade Girl's sister is one of Luna's bodyguards. She failed to stop Casshern from killling Luna and is the first victim of the ruin.



Casshern gives himself up to Claw Blade Girl. Hesiated, but attacked after remembering her sister. Despite her efforts to hack and slash Casshern to death, Casshern keeps heals up by himself.



Casshern's eyes suddenly lid up and punches Claw Blade Girl. Sending her flying.



Friender saves Claw Blade Girl before Casshern can deliver the final blow. Claw Blade Girl says she couldn't stand a chance.



After realising what he has done.. Casshern ups and leaves.


Ringo and Old Android with a bunch of robots and androids found a place where it has lots of spare parts. Now they can replace their busted rusty parts... prolonging their death.



Several BBERs shows up. They have been following them to see what they are up. BBERs wants the spare parts and starts to kill them. BBER was about to kill Ringo, but Casshern shows up to save her. Again.

After realising who he is, BBERs starts to attack Casshern. Killing a robot girl in the process.



Oops. Casshern's pissed. Casshern goes into that mode again and goes on a killng spree.







untill....



Ringo manage to stop Casshern before he kills android girl.

Casshern wonders why he can't stop himself even after all BBERs are dead. Old Android said that he doesn't have a limiter. He will keep fighting till everything is destroyed.



"THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE CASSHERN!"



A mysterious figure appears and answered Casshern. Episode 5 Ends.

Casshern Sins Episode 5 Review Delayed

In case you are wondering... No. I haven't stopped watching it.

Well, I haven't watch episode 5 yet. It all available, but this week has been a tiring week or I just don't have to mood to watch anything.

Most probably I"ll get it done tonight and have the review up.

Casshern Sins Episode 4

I wonder how many people lost the bet...



After the flashback and opening, scene starts with the introduction of Sophita also known as the Angel of Ruin.



Sophita is at some robot settlement. Picking fights with robots. Robots runs from Sophita like headless chickens.



BBER and his goons arrived to stop Sophita. We learned that this BBER is one of Braiking Boss' personal guards.

Sophita says he won't be a match for her as one of his arm is ruined. BBER leaves with his goons.

Casshern wanders around wondering who is he and why the world have turned like this because of him. Sophita shows up. Sophita impress with how Casshern looks... pretty and strong. Casshern asks her to buzz off. Sophita follows anyway.



Sophita says she must fight him no matter what, since he looks strong. Casshern says he's not necessarily strong, just that he can't die. Oops, he shouldn't have said... that.



See?

Some robots arrived as Casshern is trespassing. Sophita asks Casshern to run as she holds them off. Casshern and Sophita made short work of the robots. Sophita is impressed. Casshern leaves, ignoring Sophita.

Sophita stalks Casshern.



Sophita tells Casshern the reason why she loves fighting so much.



Whenever she fights, she gets excited... it makes her feel alive. Casshern tells her to leave him alone. He doesn't want to fight. He doesn't even like fighting. If he can, he rather die. Casshern leaves. Sophita follows.

Sophita intercepted by BBER and his goons. Goons were no match and BBER and Sophita fights.





Sophita was not able to cut up BBER as easily as the others as his body armour is tougher.



Sophita was about to get cut up but was saved by Casshern in the nick of time. Knowing himself is no match for Casshern, BBER leaves.



After seeing Casshern's self healing ability, Sophita wants to fight even more. Sophita attacks Casshern in his sleep. "I will fulfill your wish!". They fight. Sophita declares that she loves Casshern, and fighting is the only way she can share her feelings.



Casshern beats down Sophita a few times but Sophita refuses to stop. Casshern lets her stab himself.



Tears start flowing down from Sophita eyes. Sophita wonders why. Casshern says he's glad... he's glad he didn't go berserk and kill Sophita as her intention of killing him isn't really there. Oh that's why she's crying. Remember kids, trying to kill your lover is not a healthy way of expressing your love.

Sophita asks for Casshern's name. She never asks her opponents name as she would beat them anyway. Sophita says she no longer wants to fight him. "Don't be sad that you can't die,..."



Moooeee!!!... What a classic line. Don't you agree?

Sophita leaves. Leaving Casshern babbles to himself. Episode 4 ends.


Fighting filled episode all thanks to Sophita. Oh, yeah... no one dies at all in this episode. Unless you count some goons. But then again, some of them were only got cut at the limbs and the worst, the waist, into half. Sophita claims she fights without aiming to kill, but the robots are still afraid.

So maybe they would only "die" when their head is destroyed? Seeing as the surviving goons would drag the robots who got cut down and runs. Or maybe they just drag them back for spare parts.

Beginning to wonder whether is there a plot to this series. As usual, animation is superb.

Oh, I think I have never credited the fansubbers before... Yeah, so, subs are done by Shinsen group. Only group who's subbing Casshern Sins. A bit of grammar error from time to time but nothing too bad.

Next episode? Claw Blade Girl returns.

Casshern Sins Episode 3

Anata.... da re?

Seems like each episdoe, before the opening starts, the past of what happened is shown and revealed more. Pretty clever.

Episode 3 starts off where 2 left off.



After a bit of angst, Casshern told Friender that he's going off, "What will you do?". Friender stayed beside Lovey Dovey Dead Android Girl's rusting body.



Some dude who looked like Roy Fokker got chased by a whole lot o BBERs and managed to hide from them. They sure didn't waste anytime telling us that he's sick. He bumps into Casshern.



Human dude talks to Casshern. Casshern asks him to buzz off, if he gets involved with him, Human Dude will die. Humand Dude didn't care but followed Casshern anyway.

Human Dude told Casshern he's been looking for a community of dying robots. Casshern told him they are not there anymore. Human dude gets the hint.

Some "male bonding" scenes.. Human Dude introduced himself as Akoes. Casshern told him his own name, but it seems like Akoes doesn't even know the name...

Casshern only realised Akoes' a human when Akoes have to rest and drink. Looks like Akoes is the first human he met, after his awakening.

More male bonding scenes, Akoes says he's been commiting crimes since he's little and he's been running ever since. Blah blah blah and all that, Casshern probably has found his kindred spirit.

"What am I running from? Do I run to live? or live to run?!"



Friender arrived. Friender left Lovey Dovey Android Girl's body when it crumbled to dust. "Let's settle this!", says Casshern. After a few bites, Casshern told Friender that he's sorry for what he has done, and he is willing to let Friender ends his life.



Friender just bit his collar off (probably thinks it looked stupid) and became buddies with Casshern.

It's daylight. Casshern readies to leave, but Akoes says this is it for him, he's going to find that community anyway... Oh, HEY CASSHAAN! I HUNG OUT WITH YOU AND I AM STILL ALIVE!...



Yay! A happy ending!... :3



ffff....

Akoes drops dead. Probably been too sick. Deathly monologue from Akoes says he was probably looking for a place to die. He probably thought it seems like a good idea to die with the dying androids. But he died here, in the middle of nowhere anyway.

"Take it easy, Casshern...."

A none fighting episode. Unless you count that encounter with Friender as a fight, there's no super smooth animated fight scenes at all in this episode.

Still, a pretty good episode where they show you what the humans have become.... Numbers dwindling, and sickly. And also one important thing, not everyone dies because of Casshern. Though they're still dropping like flies.


People are already taking bets on the chances of survival by the end of episode 4 of this girl.

Casshern Sins Episode 2

Ore wa... Casshaan

Saw episode 2 last night.

Let's have a super brief recap for episode 1, since I didn't say much about it.

Casshern fights big bad robots. From what he learns from them, he's the main reason the Earth is now a post apocalyptic ruins. Humans are almost extinct. Big Bad Evil Robots (BBERs) didn't fair well either as they start to rot and rust away. Rumour has it if the big bad robots kill and devour him, they would live forever and everything will be normal again. Casshern kill them all.

Casshern meet loli who might or might not be a robot. Loli robot sawans at the sight of Casshern as he's "so pretty". Big Bad Evil Robot almost kills loli robot. Casshern kills BBER. Loli robot afraid of the brutality displayed by Casshern. Loli robot taken away by Oyaji Robot. Enter Claw Blade Girl to taunt Casshern.



So, now episode 2 opens with Claw Blade Girl reveals wanting to kill Casshern. But since Casshern can't remember shit, she flees.



Enter Lovey Dovey Androids. Lovey Dovey Androids sprouts "I love you love me" shits gets attacked by a couple of BBERs.



HECK YEAH, FRIENDER!

Friender defends Lovey Dovey Androids but are no match for BBERs. Enters Casshern at the nick of time and tears BBERs appart.



Casshern learns that Lovey Dovey Androids are a part of a large group full of androids that has decided to gather together to rust and die away... so that they won't be afraid.



Group of dying androids gets attacked by another BBER who's in search of Casshern. Attacking all the andorids as he thinks they are Casshern.



Casshern reveals himself to BBER. Casshern judo chops it to death. Business as usual.



Oops, did I mention Casshern reveals himself? Yeah, apparently all of them starts to believe in the kill and devour Casshern to stay alive... their last hope.



Attacking Zombie Androids?!?!

Being the faster, stronger, tougher cyborg... what does Casshern do? Run?



Run?! LOL WUT?!



He kills them all, of course. Except for Friender and female Lovey Dovey Android. She died anyway by rustting away....

End of Episode 2.

Looks like Casshern at times goes into auto berserk and can't control himself, as demonstrated when the androids decided to "Kill Casshern... Devour Casshern". That was quite a creepy scene... you can even hear some blood curdling scream, "Kill Casshern... Devour Casshern".

Episode 2 is waay more better than episode one, in my opinion. Still dominated by cool smooth action scenes. Episode 1 didn't got me hook. Episode 2 definitely does it now.

Casshern Sins Episode 1

Ore wa.... Casshaan.



Just saw this yesterday morning. I'm not going to talk about the plot. You can read it at the wiki page.

Beautifully animated. Art style reminded me of Saint Seiya OVAs Hades Chapter. Heck, withouth his helmet, he even looked like Seiya.

He's even voiced by Tohru Furuya.



First episodes nothing much. Whole episode were dominated by action scenes.

I have a feeling that the anime is going to be filled with gloom doomed themes since it's set in a post apocalyptic world where humans are almost extinct, and Casshern is the main reason. Or, that's what they want us to think.

I wouldn't recommend it to people yet, but I would recommend it if you like mecha and beautifully smooth animated fight scenes
