I cried.

I almost did. First time I've come close to it in a while now.

Amazing episode. Best one of the show so far, if you ask me. Very emotional.

The soundtrack is just amazing. The music (not the singing) in the background fit the mood so well and just sounds great. Not to mention the fights and everything else are great as well.

Man, this is way better than all the "moe" stuff this season. I don't get why people don't like it.

*deep sigh*
It falls down. From a 9 to an 8/10! But a strong 8 nevertheless....

Nice:
- The surreal and melancholic mood
- The breathtaking fight animation
- The deep characters

Less Good:
- The singing! Why english? Japanese is such a beautiful language.
- The plot. It seems to be "gridlocked" since the 5th episode.

This whole episode just felt plain silly. The songs, the story, the character interaction, everything. The first episode I dislike.
This series started off so strong...but it continues to follow the same formula every episode...I really wasn't expecting this series to be so repetitive. Still the best of the season though.

Yet another lame episode. Yet another robot for Casshern to travel with for one episode, leading to some kind of destruction at the end. The narrative connecting each episode is so thin that I just don't know what to do. Still the subtle animation makes otherwise an otherwise stale art direction look interesting, but I always get sleepy watching this show.

Sad but true!

PS: MMhh.... somehow this gives me the idea of:
Casshern Sins + Metallica!

That could result in an interesting AMV! ^^

I've noticed you've been nothing but negative about this show from the start- why continue then if it's so 'lame'? Unless you're still having hopes for the series, or see some good elements (which, judging by your comments, isn't the case)? You could save yourself the agony and just drop it you know. :)

Janis singing in English was just... awful. Sorry, but WHY? I would've found it more effective if she sung opera or something a little more powerful.
Other than that, the episode was good, though not my favorite.

Not to mention, all of the robots that he has interacted with so far, save from the one who is exactly like him, is female. Huh. They're all like one night stands in a sense. xD

Even if they think that eating Casshern will save them can't they see that they have no chance to win against him? They only make there death come a lot faster.
