Excellent animation and a catchy opening song. it's certainly watchable, but i think i'd enjoy it more if it was more coherently plot-driven. as is, it feels like a lot of the episodes are unrelated vignettes that could occur in any order and more or less re-enforce the same melancholic hopelessness. there are enough battles and beautifully drawn scenes to keep you watching though. | Excellent animation and a catchy opening song. it's certainly watchable, but i think i'd enjoy it more if it was more coherently plot-driven. as is, it feels like a lot of the episodes are unrelated vignettes that could occur in any order and more or less re-enforce the same melancholic hopelessness. there are enough battles and beautifully drawn scenes to keep you watching though. | ||

Sum it up in a Sentence:
Casshern, an amnesiac robot struggles to find his purpose in a decaying world.
Main Description
A reboot of the Casshern franchise, Casshern SINS is the polar opposite of the preceding Neo-Human Casshern. It’s still set in the same world where robots led by the Braiking Boss have subjugated humans. But instead of a hero to humanity who obtains cybernetic enhancements to fight Braiking Boss and his minions alongside Luna, Casshern is a tin can hit man sent by Braiking Boss to assassinate the messianic Luna. Luna’s death triggers a cataclysmic event, which spells doom for humans and robots alike. Some years later, Casshern wakes up with a completely blank memory, and begins to wander the world in an attempt to find out more about himself.

This is pretty similar to Trigun, although much more depressing. Also done by Madhouse, the animation is their best work so far. The plot may be a bit slow in the beginning, but it seems to be picking up now. If nothing else, it’s an (extremely pretty) view of Casshern’s journey through an insane, dying world.

This is so artsy and amazing. One of the most beautiful anime period; it's really incredible what they've managed to do with their budget. I feel it's one of the best use of computer-generated graphics. The plot is good, and the action is FAN FUCKING TASTIC. Badass as hell.
