Casshern Sins was one of the shows that I was introduced to during my brief Toonami experience this year, and one of only two I was able to complete before schedule changes put other shows on-hold. I am actually pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this show is, especially considering that I was...

Casshern Sins stands as a criminally underrated masterpiece that excels in every department - from its fluid, movie-quality storytelling and gorgeous, vivid artwork to its emotionally devastating soundtrack and fully realized multi-dimensional characters. While some may find the character designs...

Casshern Sins stands out with its complex, symbolic storytelling in a unique post-apocalyptic world where Madhouse's stellar animation and an excellent soundtrack create a haunting atmosphere. While the deliberate pacing and consistently depressing tone might challenge some viewers, the show's ex...

The orchestral soundtrack stands out as the strongest element, complementing the dark, apocalyptic atmosphere effectively, while the second half delivers engaging character introspection following a major plot twist. However, the series suffers from blatantly repetitive theme exploration and a te...

While the DVD packaging is pretty and there are moments of beautiful imagery, the story fundamentally fails to deliver. The writing becomes increasingly desperate, resorting to deus ex machina and laughable live-action footage, while the recycled music from 3X3 Eyes feels cheap and uninspired. Ul...

The unique art style and melancholic sound design stand out as exceptional achievements, complemented by nicely animated fight sequences. However, the repetitive episodic storytelling creates the feeling of 17 filler episodes among only 7 meaningful ones, while plot holes and unresolved questions...

Casshern Sins delivers a haunting, philosophical journey through a dying world where immortal machines rust and humanity faces extinction, featuring exceptional symbolic storytelling and artistic depth that can genuinely change one's worldview. However, the glacial pacing, occasional action scene...

Casshern Sins succeeds with its original blend of robot action and tear-wrenching sadness, featuring powerful individual episode stories and exceptional character development for Casshern and Lyuze. However, significant plot holes, an overwhelmingly sad tone that becomes exhausting, and technical...

Casshern Sins is the perfect example of an anime with a lot of wasted potential. It's got a unique story. Great artwork, music and even interesting characters. Sounds like it should be rated higher than right? We'll get to that but first lets get into what the show's about. Basically, Casshern is...

This one might not be for everyone. But for me, yeah, this was it for me. Dark, gritty, beautiful, emotional. It's hard for me to watch this show (I've watched it at least three times through now) without being absorbed by it. I have to take it sparingly because it digs deep down into emotional t...

This anime excels at exploring profound philosophical themes about life, death, and the meaninglessness of immortality, with great sound design and meaningful individual episodes. While the first half suffers from disconnected standalone episodes and the overall story lacks depth, these issues do...

Casshern Sins is a thoughtful, violent, and dark reboot of the 1973 series Shinzou Ningen Casshern that examines the question of what give our lives value. The show begins with the amnesiac protagonist Casshern feeling depressed after being told that he caused "The Ruin," which created the post-a...

Casshern Sins excels through its mature exploration of death, life, hope and despair, creating an atmospheric experience that varies powerfully between episodes. While the dark tone and episodic structure may not appeal to all viewers, the timeless animation, thought-provoking character developme...

Casshern Sins is yet another anime that I would place in the genre of philosophical. What do I mean by that? Well, it's a show that is incredibly slow. It's full of questions, some answers, and metaphors that deal with what it means to be human. The story here isn't all too unique, but it doesn't...

Casshern Sins excels with its gorgeous art direction and compelling episodic storytelling in episodes 3-12, offering thoughtful explorations of mortality through robot characters in a dying world. While the series delivers great sound design and memorable character interactions, the final quarter...

This anime stands out for its unique philosophical exploration of death and the meaning of life, using character-driven storytelling to examine mortality's role in giving life purpose. While the lack of traditional plot structure and confusing elements around Luna's eternal life gift may frustrat...

The first half was beautiful and intriguing, earning a 9-10 rating with its anthology-style episodes introducing fascinating characters facing the world's end. However, the second half suffers from poor plot development, gaping holes, and inconsistent character goals that feel written on the fly....

Ah yes, Casshern Sins. You either love it, or you hate it. Personally, I liked it. I can see why many would hate it. It's very slow, especially at first, because there isn't a clear cut path the story goes through like some anime. Rather, it deviates a lot to tell individual character stories for...

I'd start by mentioning the things I liked about this anime: the art and the music are good, the show in itself is not didactic and it does explore some really interesting ideas. Where the show leaves much to be desired is its plot, character development and emotional stimulation. I found the plo...

I have just recently finished Casshern Sins, so I figured I may as well do a review of it before it leaves my mind and makes my review somewhat shoddy. Starring one of Tatsunoko's more obscured and less popular protagonists, the titular Casshern, this bleak and depressing story of death and despa...
