SUBS are out! I love the new girl! Sure is unique! Apart from that I think that she may be like Casshern built except with less features.

Wow, sugoi! Can't wait for the subbed version.
I barely understand what was said in this, have to wait for someone's subs!
At least someone near Casshern didn't die!!! lol!
Awesome ep., they have to keep this way!

We'll have the "Die Casshern, die!" girl next ep!

Yeah, my thoughts exactly... where was Friender this whole episode?

Awesome episode. And I can't believe that I just realized this now, but the animation is great, and I'm loving this show so far.

Also, it looks like Friender is back next episode.

Shinsen-Subs are out for those of you wondering.

Episode easily gets a 5/5 from me.

Man, we need to see more of Sophita. She should've stayed with Casshern. Bleh at Ringo returning. She's annoying.

Heh. So finally we meet someone who's pretty much the opposite of Casshern. Next episode looks great though. Seems like we'll get a better understanding of who Casshern is or was and miss Luna.

Great episode. Although I can see even more people moaning about the somewhat slow pacing, I think everything is just right.

Glad someone else was wondering where Friender was. I was completetly baffled by that, but oh well. This episode was really well done, I believe. A little slow, but I love the way Casshern's mentality is going, not to mention the animation during Sophita and Casshern's fight. It was astoundingly well done, as one of the above posters stated, it really just sunk in how well animated this series really is.

Fantastic episode once again. This show is still one of the best of this season. And as some of you stated, the animation is both unique and incredibly well done.

The two really fit each other, it was incredible. Just like the Yin Yang, with Casshern being the Yin.

Sofiita's personality is really interesting to see in contrast to all other characters shown so far, she's actually trying to live. Her character design is great, the animation was amazing, specially with the choice of those mesa-like rock formations for the location of their battle, the way they used the fluids was very interesting from the start of the episode, and the reddish tone they reflected sometimes made it even more beautiful.

this episode was exceptionally good! The fighting scene in particular was really well animated and fluent - this should quelch any doubters out there. I loved the personality clash between Sophita and Casshern. It is true that the story is rather slow paced - but because of that we get a really good impression about the world and there is plenty of time to flesh out the characters. Even Sophita, that when first introduced seems shallow, turns out to be much more.

Apperantly I watched a diffrent episode then all of you. Cause I thought it was pretty boring. fights where ok but too short. and Sophita is pretty fugly, I dunno the art style is getting to me, the eyes are way to far apart they don't even look human, she looked like some weird fish person to me.

and wtf happened to friender did he go on a vactation? crappy incosistance errors are crappy.

The guy lived for more than 300 years, can self-heal and rips the robots with his bare hands. Clearly he is not human. Either he is some sort of Cyborg (as in ~80% Robot, 20% human, thing) or he is complete android.

So after finally warming up to this series last episode I get an entire episode of "Ne nii-san, listen to my song fight me." "No, I don't like fighting." Hopefully next week will be better...

O.o Where'd Friender go? Lol, all through the episode I was wondering where he disapeared to D:
All in all, I quiet liked this episode :3 Sophita's character was pretty good, and it make a change that she lived for now :3 Also makes a change from someone wanting to kill Casshern to live forever, whereas she wanted to help him. I found that bit strangely sweet in a way. Deff a sad show :[
Can't wait for next weeks episode, hopefully we'll learn a bit more.

I was more or less =_= throughout the episode.

sophitia comes in, kills everything, is suddenly in love with casshern, wants to kill casshern, doesn't want to kill casshern, then leaves.

erm.... wtf?

this show is either so deep that i do not understand it, or it has no direction in the first place.

Sophita was just awesome. Why did she have to leave at the end? :(

Well, she didn't die, and she even mentioned meeting again, so there's a possibility she'll come back. I was actually expecting her to be the third member of Casshern's party, but I guess it'll have to be Lyuze.
Jigero said:

I find that that's all part of the style's charm. It's not for everyone, but neither was CG's (although admittably that was a little more mainstream).

Only with this episode did I realize how much I liked Casshern Sins. I guess my first impression has worn off: unless there's more robots chanting "Die, Casshern," it should stay that way no matter where the story goes.

I think now I'll go and make a Sophita MAL banner. Time for a change. Yeah.

Personally, I thought this was probably the weakest episode so far. The previous two were much better, at least. The episode was good but there was nothing that was really profound about it.
Even so, it'd be a strong episode in most other series.

I wasn't as excited about this ep as the others, but it had some signifigant differences. Casshern's smile was nice to see. I <3 Sophita, 1 ep & she's my fav character of the series so far. really glad he didn't kill her. Really glad.

Huh? The bgm played during Sophita vs Robo sounded like music from Samurai 7. It kind of bugs me that they would re-use it like that, but I'm sure that happens with a lot of series...right?

Anyway I really like Sophita and hope to see her again, but where was Friender D:

What do you mean, "while you can". It's not like it's going to run out or disappear.


What I meant is to get it while you can download. I know somethings are hard to get cause no one is sharing that anymore. My point being is GRAB IT FAST!

That was a f*cking brilliant episode. Sophita is such an intriguing and awesome character, and it a nice contrast to Casshern. I'm glad she didn't die as the prospect of seeing her in a future episode will be another reason I keep close tabs on this series. The music fit perfectly with this episode too. Great stuff.
