It also is a definition of 'crap got wierd'.
One of the weirdest animes I ever saw.
I saw the english dub.
The english dub is good. Casshans voice is very good.
The story is all over the place. It does't explain some things well. Or at all.
A lot of the time, you sit there going, WTH?!
Some of it is cheesey.
The end is not explained well.
It takes a turn into mad science with how Casshan becomes a cyborg.
Seriously, there is a machine that looks like the teleporter from The Fly!
Luna is one of the worst dressed characters in anything!
She looks like a freaking clown. Or like she's insane!
It's a short bolero, over a topless corset leotard, over shorts, with a wimple, with a ear covering headband, with earrings on, socks, and ankle boots.
She looks like a insane cosplayer.
When she get's cold, she puts on a odd puffy coat.
There are times, when Casshans supposed to be sad or confused, or have memory problems, etc, because of the becoming a cyborg, when he's with Luna.
But the result is he looks like he's going
'What the hell is she wearing?!!!!!'
There are also time he looks like he'd rather be anywere but with her.
He looks like he's trying to escape the anime, rather than be seen with this insanely dressed woman.
Once, she wears a sensible outfit. A sailor suit with a blouse, short skirt and ankle boots. That's fine. If she'd just keep on it, it'd be great. But no, she puts her insane outfit on again.
She also wears a sensible travelling outfit at the start. Takes it off once she's inside.
Casshan also comes across as a bit of a masochist.
Yes, becoming a cyborg was done when under siege. But that machine was planned to be used that way.
Casshan is also very emo. He really goes for the emo, 'I'm a hero', thing.
Not the good sort. A character does stuff and is badass. And others say they are a hero.
He does 'I'm a hero', in a really emo way. Complete with unnessessery posing.
There are a lot of sensible characters, in sensible outfits. You get the feeling that they could win the war, without Casshan and Luna.
The world is good. A well made world. Very functional.
The artsyle is a ok to good. But the faces veer off into the uncanny valley sometimes.
And there is wierdly broad chests.The gap between the breasts of both genders is really wide.
The motivations for the villain are grindingly cretinous.
And they don't even do something as basic as kill him or treat him properly at the end!
The end is very predictable, when it comes to the villain.
There is the works for a good anime and story in there. And it shows. But there is some seriously wierd stuff!
