Basically, Casshern is a robot who's lost his memory. As he travels around the world which has been stricken with ruin (A disease that causes a robots body to deteriorate slowly until they die) he finds out that not only is he immortal but he is the one who caused all of this. He journeys around the world trying to piece his past together and atone for his sins.
The art style is unique and makes all of the battles look awesome. The soundtrack is really good and each track fits the dark yet hopeful mood of the show.The opening song is probably one of the best I've heard lately and the lyrics match up well with the theme of the show.
There's a really good mix of characters. Some you may love and others you may hate which is great. My only problem is that sometimes characters will randomly dissapear and then reappear in the next scene without any explination. The best example of this is episode 4 in which Friender (A robot dog that joined Cashern in episode 3) dissapears entirely.
Now for the bad. The show seems to have some serious problems with pacing. One minute things are progressing at a slow, calm pace and the next things are happening so quickly that they feel rushed. I know they had a lot to pack into 24 episodes but they could've shortened certain scenes to stretch out the more important ones. Also, some characters don't get as much exposure as they should, leaving you to wonder what their motives were in the first place.
In the end, it's an enjoyable anime and I'd recommend that anyone who likes sci fi or action give it a try but if you're not into it after the first six episodes than it's probably not for you.
