Casshern, Cinema Revolution?

[Mr. Satans]

It seems a new era in movies has begun. Making a live action movie based off of an anime has never turned out quite right, until now.

The movie is called "Casshern" and is based off of the 1973 anime Shinzo Ningen Casshan (Casshan: Robot Hunter in ENGLISH).

Casshern takes everything good about action anime and makes it look good as live action, I can hardly describe how spectacular it is!
All I have to say is that you need to check this out!

Overview

In a world with an alternate history a great war finally comes to an end leaving the earth diseased and polluted.

The geneticist Dr. Azuma vies for support from the government for his "neo-cell" treatment that he claims can rejuvenate the body and regenerate humankind. The government leaders, guarding their own deeply entrenched powers, turn down the professor.

Driven to complete his work Dr. Azuma accepts a secret offer from a sinister faction of the powerful military. After an incident occurs in Dr. Azuma's lab a race of mutant humans known as the Shinzo Ningen are unleashed upon the world.

Now only the warrior known as Casshern, reincarnated with an invincible body, stands between the Shinzo Ningen and a world on the brink of annihilation.

Sorry Satan, the rules that the anime forum follows stated in this post: http://forum.esforces.com/showthread.php?t=49070 also apply in this situation.

Ah, yes, Casshan! I have the series on VHS, back from when they sold it at the HMV (music store chain). If I'm not mistaken, the series was rather short. I rather enjoyed it, though. I'd be more than happy to see how a movie would do based on Casshan.

Man, that's a blast from my past.

The Casshan movie (anime) made me want to hurt myself and those sitting near me. I've been meaning to see the live action one, but just haven't gotten around to it.

I've been meaning to see it, but unfortunately the only cinema close enough to home isn't showing it. Guess I'll have to get it on DVD sometime.

I've heard some dissappointing things about this movie. And btw this isn't "new and revolutionary in film making". Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow was the first to do a all green screen with live actors, and if anything, Sin City WILL revolutionice the film industy since that actually looks good and has a killer cast.

Ontopic, nothing new here satan. The full trailer has been out for ages. Keep up :smile:

I know about Sky Captain & Sin City, but they aren't based off of anime now are they?

Also, Casshern has the "anime feel" to it and makes it seem like a true live-action anime. Take all the cool aspects of action anime and mix it with live action and bam.
