    i remember discovering Cashshan through tatsunoko vs capcom. I later watched Casshan Sins, but i obviously knew this wasnt the original casshan but never got around to seeing the original show. Really enjoyed Sins but idk how it compares to the original in terms of reception from a fan standpoint. Both are drastically different with Sins being alot darker narrative wise. Hopefully ill see a casshan sins video from you as well cuz i learned alot from this one.

    @ashb2483 2 роки тому +7

    Just watched the anime through for the second time. 8 or 9 out of 10. I think a lot of confusion/frustration can be alleviated if you accept that each episode has a long time skip you don't see and stuff happening off screen. Also, the fact that you are thrust into the world AFTER everything has already gone down.
    Edit: I am referring to Casshern Sins

I hope they will keep all these old gems on their catalogue, with all the junk Prime has it would be a smart move imo.

  • @MatthewTheWolf2029
    @MatthewTheWolf2029 Рік тому +2

    The funny thing is even though Casshan is called an android, he's more of a cyborg since he has a human consciousness. And also, Casshan shares his family name with 8-Man, who goes by "Hachiro Azuma". In fact, 8-Man and Casshan are both quite similar in many ways. They're both cyborg superheroes who had their essences transferred from their human bodies into robotic ones, and they both fight evil forces. Though, 8-Man debuted a decade before Casshan. So its likely Casshan also drew inspiration from 8-Man.

    Luckily this year a Mexican anime distributor finally gave Casshern Sins an Spanish dub and it's pretty well done

    I always preferred Freinder over the Fleinder subtitle. Where do you get your production info? Italian translations? Your videos are always informative about obscure details.

    • @MercuryFalcon
      @MercuryFalcon  4 роки тому +11

      Italian sources are great for tatsunoko stuff but I mostly search for production information in Japanese using high quality translators (fiverr) to get info from Japanese web pages.
      There was a lot of info regarding Casshan production in a commentary track only included on the Japanese blu-ray which was helpful in making this video.
      The info about dog manga actually came from a Japanese blog post by a Japanese man in his 60’s who said now that he had money he was investing in all the comics he couldn’t afford as a kid.
