This is really a hard anime to judge. As you watch you get a feeling of the emoness that Casshern has for almost the whole series. Also the first 8 or so episodes all seem the same, Casshern shows up somewhere they find out who he is and try to kill him to save themselves. I swear when I say after getting through half of the anime I was almost ready to quit cause there was hardly no plot development. I stuck with it and still not done, but 4 episodes away and I will say I am glad I stuck with it cause the anime does pick up, even if slightly. Did have an episode that did feel rather pointless (episode 18 or 19). The whole reason to stick with the anime is mainly for the fights which have been spectacular to say the least. The animation of Casshern almost like dancing his way through hords of attacking robots is just amazing. Though at times these fights seem short or not enough occur. I will say give it a go, but if you get tired of it within the first few episodes you really haven't experienced the whole anime. Watch all the way through to get the enjoyment out of it. (show less)
