Casshern anime coming this Fall
 |
Here is some good news for you old-school anime lovers out there, a new anime based off the 1970's show Shinzo Nigen Casshern is going down, set for a Fall 2008 release. But this is not only for those who like the old stuff because there was a live-action adaptation of this franchise released in 2004. Directing this anime will be Shigeyasu Yamauchi who previously directed Saint Seiya, Boys over Flowers, and Dragon Ball Z movie(s), and will be animated by Madhouse.
You know I never watched this anime before, but my interests were always perked whenever I would see that robot in white, Casshern. Now I don't have to put up with the 70's version and just watch the 2008 one. That's the way this world works my friend, when something is old and dirty, we make it new again. You know Japan, Dragon Ball is looking awfully old and cruddy (hint, super hint.)
Check out some Casshern related videos after the jump to know more about this new anime. Though I just realized that Casshern is basically just a human-sized super robot, which is a good thing in my book.

You didn't know about CASSHERN? Man, I watched that when I first got into RoboTech. I was, like, almost 5 years old. Ahhhh... Good times, good memories.
