It opens with a sleek figure in a white suit and glowing green eyes, fighting less-elegant and more cumbersome robots. He is quite brutal about it, too, and expresses no regrets in dismantling them and ripping their parts out. His enemies call him "Casshern" and accuse him of being the cause of all the destruction. But other than that (and a fleeting memory of a purple-haired woman whose name is probably "Luna"), he remembers nothing.
The world of Casshern Sins is a dark and gray place set some time in the future. Robots are rampant in this desert landscape, so much so that a child you meet on the seaside could turn out to be one of them. Sinister figures in the shape of a shapely, slim woman randomly appear, expostulating some nonsense about destruction, and just as randomly disappear, literally, into thin air, only to appear once more, this time expressing venomous words of hate.
Personally, if things like that happened to me, I'd do silly things, too, like wear a white suit and a funny-looking helmet and kill robots for fun. But if Casshern Sins had a sense of humor, it didn't come for breakfast. It's all hypnotic visuals and deadly action and philosophical nonsense, about half of which I don't understand but don't care anyway because action, fuck yeah, and beautiful, beautiful retro art (not to mention, crazy hair!) by Madhouse.
Add to it the music, and I'm in heaven. Another dystopic anime that's hopefully not as random as Real Drive nor as crazy as Ergo Proxy. It's looking good. Will watch the next installment.MORE INFO:
