I didn't enjoy the CG in Casshern (uncanny valley perhaps?) and this looks to have a similar level of it.
Still, we'll see.

Why was he allowed to direct another movie?

Geez, so much negativity.
I loved Casshern (although I guess it helps being a fan of the original anime, where as a lot people went into the movie looking for some Matrix type affair), looking forward to this.

So basically this guy made Casshern again and slapped Goemon on the project? Seriously, this looks almost identical to his last movie. I understand directors and cinematographers having "styles" but this is laughable.
Saw this listing when I was trawling through imdb.com the other day.
Who the heck greenlit this shit? No idea why anyone cares about it for. The director destroyed any semblance of Casshern when he did the movie, and he looks set to do the same with an original product? Japanese filmmakers cannot create a decent epic action flick (that doesn't involve period samurai or yakuza) to save their lives.

Casshern was mediocre but it sure as hell wasn't a bad enough first project to turn me off of the guy forever. The guy has an amazing eye for visuals, i'll remain cautiously optimistic.
Epic movies are typically large scale period pieces so it's not surprising they'd tap into their cultural history :lol I've seen plenty of good crime, cop, samurai, and war movies... not sure what the hell you're talking about.

Exactly, if anything at least Kiriya's Casshern had enough digital eye-candy to keep me somewhat entertain (not only including the awesome soundtrack that kept it in motion). We all know you can find way worst manga/anime -to- live-action adaptions, that would probably make this upcoming Goemon flick look like an Oscar worthy accomplishment (DBZ is right around the corner ya know).

beautiful visuals, that much is undeniable
CG and characters don't really blend together, but that's a stylistic choice and i personally really like the final effect.
Casshern was a 2.30 hrs long delirium, but you can 'screengrab' hundreds of awesome wallpapers from the bluray
Let's hope this one doesn't try to look as deep as Casshern wanted you to think it was, without actually..heh...being. What did i just say ?

Looks awesome.
Casshern was gorgeous. Its faults were with the fact it was a Japanese live action movie and 99.9% of them are complete shit when it comes to script and acting. Japanese live-action pacing is slow. This works for slow character dramas like Kitano stuff, but it makes all their action films boring as hell.
So when you're a director stuck making a Japanese live-action film, the best you can do is at least make it LOOK cool and Casshern looked fantastic as does this.
What this guy needs is to come to hollywood and be paired up with a good script and make the next comic book movie adaptation.
Also if I was Utada Hikaru I would bang this guy too, he makes great looking over-stylized stuff that gives him a unique flavor from all the other directors.

sorry guys, but i liked CASSHERN! especially because of this scene: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=TDbp10TYAWA

I'm really looking forward to this!

If the movie has A) as much action as the trailer indicates and B) bloody violence I'm for it.
That said, looks like a movie you'd want to see in HD if at all.
EDIT: Speaking of Japanese live action films, has any quality movies been released over the last while? It is funny, there always seems to be a Korean or even Chinese feature coming out or worth looking forward to, but I don't remember the last worthwhile Japanese live-action film released.

Kill that noise! Not everything needs to be Hollywoodized. I love the fact that I can get highly imaginative slower paced action films with long steady shots from Japan, kinetic fast paced madness from Hong Kong, and big budget action light superhero features from Hollywood. I don't believe that the typical superhero film has a good script or interesting acting however.

Maybe if he restrains himself this time round the film could be good. It's not that Casshern didn't show potential, it's just that he comes across as utterly incompetent behind the camera at points. He tries to accomplish so many things at once and in the end never succeeds at any of them. One minute it's an anti-war movie, then a live action anime, then a bloody music video, then a sweeping love story, then a meditation on the powers of science, etc. Plus it's overwrought and melodramatic in the worst possible way.
So yeah, we'll see I guess.

Some people call it shit. Others call it art. I'm looking foward to this. Despite all the flaws of Casshern, I really enjoyed the film.

I think that all the effects shots are neat, but the movie looks kind of boring.
I kind of liked Casshern, BTW

Though I'm disappointed this isn't about Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, that brief glimpse of all those hot ladies dancing got me excited.

Goemon looks like Casshern but witha black mouth cover instead of white.

Considering everything but the actors is computer generated, it's not surprising that it took 1-2 years to do the post production. Doesn't it take years to render such a vast amount of CG?
Edit: If you guys want to see how much better Cashern is from every other anime adaption, check out Yatterman from Takashi Miike: http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/full-theatrical-trailer-for-miikes-yatterman-brings-the-madness/ Stick to low budget crime films bro!
