Casshan - Robot Hunter

Summary: ADV's Fault Not Amazon
Review: ADV mislabeled the DVD as vol. 2 on its packaging. Amazon just went by what it sees on the label. Its a pretty good DVD, it's technically the special edition of Casshan with a japanese dub included as one of the special features. I like the show myself but people who don't like older anime probably wont like it.

Review: I felt a little ripped off, when I got volume 1 and 2 together as an offer from Amazon.Com. Movie wise, volume 2 is actually exactly the same as volume 1, with volume 2 having the option for japanese dialog and Eng subtitle. Amazon could have at least indicated that in the "description".

Review: I first saw this movie about ten years ago on the sci-fi channel and it blew me away with its story line, let alone its animation. I own many anime movies (most current: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust) and tv series type anime like star blazers (the entire quest for Iscandar series and soon to have the comet empire series), but this is one of my all time favorite full length motion picture anime movies. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes anime with a lot of action and a good story line. It will be available on DVD very soon and I already have pre-ordered it as I have been waiting a long time for a DVD version to become available. Check it out for yourself, you wont be dissapointed!

Summary: A classic
Review: I first saw this movie in the sci-fi channel a few years back, and recently borrowed it from a friend, after watching it again I love it even more than before, good animation, although a step below princess mononoke or VHD, still it holds it's own, great story line, Casshan fights to stop an evil android who wants to destroy mankind in order to preserve nature and save the world(basically the bad guy is trying to do good but feels like he's misunderstood), overall, if you like action movies with robots and explosions then this anime is for you.

a timeless anime classic i'm sure anyone would like, GET IT NOW!!!

Summary: Casshan
Review: In 1998, I saw this on Sci-Fi at about three in the morning and was completely blown away. This is the perfect representation of the kind of anime that hooked me back in the early nineties (it seems the best stuff came out around the mid-eighties to mid-nineties).

In the distant future, a brilliant scientist creates what should've ensured the survival of the human race; a species of powerful robots whose sole obejective is to protect the earth. However after a brief analysis, the robots come to the conclusion that the earth's greatest threat......is us. As the world is thrown into an apocalypse of destruction at the hands of its protectors, the man responsible makes a fateful decision to once again use his gifts for the betterment of mankind. His own son, he transforms into Casshan; the lost hope for the human race and the robot army's greatest foe. What follows is some of the best action anime I've ever seen. Highly recommended.

Also, the live action version of Casshan, called Casshern, just hit theaters last month in Japan. I'm hoping for a theatrical release stateside, but if not, I'll be waiting on the DVD. As of this date (6-26-04), the trailer can be found at themovieboxdotnet. A HUGE production value went into this thing and it looks to be more of a live action anime than the matrix trilogy could ever be.

Review: This is another classic animation from my childhood. I've read some review complaining the weak figure of Casshan. A true and good martial artist has nothing to do with being Hugh and muscular. Casshan depicted the true beauty of martial arts and humility to sacrifice his human life to become the man and android hybrid to defeat BK1! Graphic may not be perfect but this is one of the classic that fans of animation shouldn't be missing.

Summary: "if casshan can't do it, then who can"?
Review: what's fascinating is that this movie is a revamp of the ealier casshan series back in japan 75. but the premise is very familiar to scifi movie buffs. imaging john o' connor from the terminator machine wars, but with superpowers. casshan is a great series with a bittersweet finale. the designs, fight scenes, intro themes and story pacing are compared to other tatsunoko shows/ovas like gatchaman and hurricane polymar. which means it's an instant hit. the main villian black king boss controls a robo naziesque goverment which enslaves and exterminates humans who are surviving in a post apocolyptic enviorment. and it's up to casshan and his pet cyber pooch to save humanity by destroying the IRON EVIL but at the price of his humanity. good storyline with of course pathos. If your a fan of the Magnus robot fighter comics or even a scifi enthusiast,
then casshan is well worth the purchase if not rental.
