    Don't forget that Dio beat Casshern in their last fight. The only reason Dio got wounded is because he got blindsided by the vengeful sister-love girl.

    The fact Casshern wanted to be beaten, at least in the beginning, might have affected the flow of the fight somewhat to give a twisted image. However, should they meet another time, I don't think things would anymore go quite like that. And Casshern gains more and more combat skills each passing day with his endless fights.

    Casshern's blood changed Luna...

    could it be that he didn't really kill her, but free her from whatever she had to do, and since Casshern 'gained' that power... maybe being a pillar of the world, and doesn't know about it, the world is being ruined... and Luna really is alive somewhere else...

    dunno... just couldn't really get into this episode 11...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I agree. The robot dog isn't that deep a character in the end, as a main character. Good enough in the background but when you remove Casshern and just leave the dog, and then introduce a bunch of totally new characters but not anything really concrete to the greater plot, it's hard to make it really meaningful.

    I loved episode 11.
    It was nice to see some humans again, and the leader was awsome. What i didnt like was how easily he stopped Casshern&#180;s attacks...afaik Casshern is strongest when in this berserk-mode. weird.

    Though i really want to see some more continuous parts of the main-story.

    but guys, isn't the depth of the characters enough to pretty much render any kind of under-laying "plot" unnecessary?

    This isn't really a slice-of-life series and you can't be talking about the depth of the valley of a female character, so a plot is needed to build that depth. But like I said in my previous post, how much depth can you give a dog..? Pretty much any robot or human in this show gets some marginal depth by default from the ruin, which they all share (though I'm still not sure it directly affects humans), but that's it.

    i'd actually disagree that the under-laying plot and advancement isn't as important as the characters in this show. Sure, the characters and their interactions are important. Really, they're the driving point of each episode.

    But the one thing about this show is that it's not just about 'dudes waiting to die in a post-Apocylptic world'. Almost everybody has a goal for the future. There's a lot of stuff from the past that needs to be settled.

    I totally agree though that this episode, while it did a good job showing how much the relationship between Casshern and Friender has come since episode 2, was hard to get into because it focused so much on Friender. Also, personally I couldn't really get into Jin's character too much because he was pretty much a "what you see is what you get" character who isn't going to change his tune (I found Gido much more fascinating, and even the one robot bandit leader who said, "fighting among robots is pointless").

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    It's never too late to kill Casshern, so let's try again today!

    Episode 12 - SHS

    Casshern, the depressed gun.

    Back for more killing and depressing dialogues.

    This wasn't a very interesting episode in my opinion. They really should try, for a change, to have arcs spanning two eps. It would already make the character-to-die-this-time feel more important.

    I liked this episode though, mainly because of Margo. To me, Margo is definitely an interesting character and I do agree with Kraco about having arcs spanning two episodes

    I really liked this episode. This show is just so great visually.

    lol, when I first saw Margo I like he was a girl, but then I listened the the voice, and it was definitely a male doing it. SO I was really confused, until he said Boku wa or whatever, and then I was like "okay, it's a guy".

    lol, of course those robots that attacked them would be angry and just want ruin to finish them of. They had no HANDS! they couldn't hold anything! all they culd do was fight and kill.. :\

    This is getting so boring.

    It's not that the episodes are bad or something.. it really is a bit sad when the new character dies in the end, but it's always the same....

    i really liked 12. good character, and i liked the little twist with the opening scene coming at the chronological end of the episode.

    the flashback to Braiking Boss' era basically confirmed that Braiking Boss is "the rambling old guy" in episode 2. He only appears for a flash, and it has been a long time since that episode, but i'm about as sure as can be...

    i absolutely don't mind the stand alone episodes. there's still an overall arc going on with Dio, Leda and even annoying pink haired girl, and that's enough for me. in a lot of ways, this feels a lot like what an epic journey would be like. you know how it got started, and some things relating to that origin and toward the goal come up from time to time, but, for the most part, it's composed of many small, unrelated bits and pieces, things that become as much of the epic as the origin and destination.

    i do, however, wonder how the hell Margo painted those walls so high up...

    edit - and, yeah, the preview for the next episode has the dude from episode 2 in it, right above the caption for the next episode. Leda and a new robot who looks to be from Braiking Boss's old elite team are there too.

    "The Past Will Rise Before You"

    man, this show really has some almost absurdly heavy episode titles...

    edit again - also, from the very first second of the episode, it looks like Ryuze's sister was the very last person to face Casshern before he got to Luna. And there's a double ripple (single droplet sound though)

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Just caught up... really liked the Terminator-like tune in episode 11. Episode 13 was really good and a revealing episode. Ringo is an interesting character, probably is an advanced model of the Casshern-series in terms of the goal for reproducing robots. I wonder if she can grow and how the ruin affects her.

    Would it be possible that she may be the offspring of such an experiment? Though the Doctor called Casshern and the others failures. Maybe there's a connection between her and Luna that is unknown.
