Oh shit it's... that white-suited guy!

Who is he?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Oh I forgot this is the Friender ep.

You know even later on Friender and Casshern don't really like eachother IIRC...

 

[Judderman]

He didn't even have to don his ninja mask!

 

[Jintor]

God these human robots are fuckking teeeeeeerrible

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Someday I'm gonna YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HA! her in half!

 

[Ultratech]

Robot Dog is awesome.

And I take there's some reason Casshern hasn't succumbed to the effects of the Ruin?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

casshern looks like he belongs in tatsunoko vs capcom

Uhh...

 

[Crash Station]

Seeing these reactions to DMW make me realize that NONE of you are ready for Minatsuki. This thread is going to be so good 4 weeks from now.

 

[BatDan]

That's because Casshern was a Tatsunoko anime from the 70s.

 

[Lonestar]

so, is this like a grimmer, darker, unofficial MegaMan show?

Don't ruin the surprise for them.

 

[everyday math]

Skull face reminds me of that guy from Fullmetal alchemist who had a skull face...

 

[Papercuts]

I will eat this cashew and live forever!

 

[Knux-Future]

Hughes?

 

[Chris R]

Deadman Wonderland was good, but not as good as the first episode. Still enjoyed it though.

 

[bananas]

Krillin pls

 

[daffy]

Casshern predates Mega Man by like... 15 years.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Casshern basically inspired Megaman X, iirc.

Wikipedia:

The influence of Casshern can be seen in various video games. Starting with the third game, Mega Man featured a robotic hero with a dog as a partner which could transform into different vehicles. Continuing in the vein of Capcom influences, Mega Man Zero of the Gameboy Advance Mega Man spin-off franchise bears a strong resemblance to Casshern (of the reboot series) himself. The entirety of the Megaman X series story is closely based on Casshern. The design and background of its main antagonist, Sigma, also closely resembles Braiking Boss.

Pretty much, it's Megaman Zero the anime.

Damn you Andrex, grr.

 

[Kaizer]

This show is really dark, sorta slow moving - but I like it for some reason. The art style, fight scenes and plot are intriguing.

Dude, I read past that point and I'm STILL not ready. If her voice is as I imagined in the manga... SWEET JESUS

 

[captmcblack]

Such good art, but the show is so grim and slow.

more lasers pls

 

[789shadow]

Oh yeah, this show will get SO DEPRESSING.

 

[Kamek]

That's because Casshern was a Tatsunoko anime from the 70s.

Really? So is this an updated version? The animation looks so crisp

 

[The Frankman]

and depressing. Don't forget depressing.

Let's have a drinking game, you take a shot when the name Casshern is said, I take a shot when someone smiles and is happy....

I won't drink for the whole show and you'll be dead before the 1st commercial break.

 

[everyday math]

Or it could be, they actually cared how the animation looked back then.

 

[Jintor]

Updated animation with 80s artstyle

fuckin' afro circus

Hard/lethal mode would be taking a shot every time someone literally missed happiness by one decision.

 

[Papercuts]

I'm going to take a shot for every bleep in DMW and every Casshern in CS. I'm not planning on making it to July.

 

[Rebel Leader]

This thread... this thread... oh man... I can't wait to see what people post =D

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Nah, this show is HD and slick and puts most contemporary anime to shame.

This show, Casshern Sins, is basically a gritty reboot of a much friendlier 70s anime (Casshan.)

That's my secret, Frankman...I'm always drinking.

Also, Dave Thomas lied. I was led to believe his daughter was a dime!

 

[Shard]

I have come to know the meaning of the word hate and it is Afro Circus.

Well either way. It looks awesome.

She had one too many baconators

GOD I LOVE YOU PEOPLE

 

[Beelzeboss]

I hope we get some new TOM stuff.

If every week it's only one new thing that's kinda a bummer. I want to know what TOM thinks of video games!

 

[789shadow]

God I have to try hard not to slit my wrists.

And Casshern wasn't even that friendly. Casshern Sins is just that much worse.

T.O.M is a fucking sellout. Moltar should demand his job back after T.O.M had the nerve to give I Am Alive 8/10.

EIGHT OUT OF TEN

T.O.M is a casual...

 

[Knux-Future]

God I have to try hard not to slit my wrists.

Across the road.


Not down the street.

I'd be more than happy with one new thing a week. Asking for more is asking for the block to be cancelled for going over budget.

For some reason I fear the block will fall into not having any new content for long stretches of time.

 

[789shadow]

And done.

*slits wrists*

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It's fuckin' comical how depressing this show is

It's borderline parody

 

[Tamanon]

Casshern is depressing:/

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

This is some heavy stuff already in the second episode. I'm loving the subject matter here, and seeing robots wonder about the meaning of life and death is pretty captivating.

 

[Beelzeboss]

That guy was the worst juggler I ever saw
