"Neo-Human Casshern" (1973) - Closing

[Th33MediaINC]

'm actually kind of surprised that nobody has uploaded the series onto youtube, then again, copyright reasons...

[SuperAdventures]

@Th33MediaINC I uploaded the first episodes of Casshern, Tekkaman and Polymar (in Italian) several years ago, but got nailed with copyright notices for two of those three (from Media Blasters, who up until now has only dabbled in "Tekkaman Blade"), then I deleted the remaining one. Yup, copyright reasons, and the fiact that no English subs or dubs (except for the infamous, incomplete '80's Tekkaman dub) exist for these shows.

[zerociel27]

for me Rockman and rush is Better...

[norc24601]

I saw some episodes in the 80s. The show was my first "real" lesson that every mom dies eventually. I remembered hugging my momma and never wanted to watch Casshern again. Ah, well. Thumbs-up anyway.

[yumeshimanet]

@norc24601 Actually, in the end she lives and lives like a human; no explanation is given about how her body was completely vanquished/destroyed and could be easily turned back, while her son had to keep up being a shinzoningen/neo-roider...

[tokyocityrat]

宇宙戦艦ヤマトと、キャシャーンの敵方はどうみてもナチスドイツ­がモチーフだな。どうせならアメリカにしときゃよかったのに。

[Hesuku]

@tokyocityrat Yeah, you ingrateful brat. What's there you didn't get from America?

[tokyocityrat]

@Hesuku  アメリカ人の悪いところだね。なんでも自分たちが与えてやったみ­たいな態度でいるのは。殆ど移民なんだからさ。みんなが持ち寄っ­て出来た国だろ。そろそろイラクやアフガンから出でけば？ほんと­外国にいって人殺しするのが好きな国だな。

[Hesuku]

@tokyocityrat I can't type Japanese here. It's still wrong for you to slander. Americans went there to help people, unlike your country.

[crapengine1990]

@tokyocityrat　お前、日本人は今なんにも出来ない状態なんだ。それに世界の世論­からしたら日本人だってアメリカ人に堂々と文句を言える立場じゃ­ないんだ。残念だが日本が自分の足で立ち上がるまでは口をつぐん­で耐えることだな。

[tokyocityrat]

@crapengine1990 あっそ、アホな意見を言う前に匿名だからといっていきなりお前よ­ばわりないだろ。それじゃ、アメリカ人に堂々と文句いえない状況­とは何かね？君の意見はもしかしてアメリカ政府のことか？君の頭­じゃアメリカ人＝アメリカ政府か？　ところで今何にも言えない状況とやらを説明してほしいなー。さら­に世界の世論とやらはいったいどこに存在してるかね？そしてその­世界世論とやらには中東や反米国も入っているかなー。そしていっ­たいどんな状況になればアメリカ人（政府？）に物申すことができ­るのかね？ところで何をアメリカ人に言えないのがわからんが説明­してくれますかねー？まさかマンガに関してか？それとも何におい­てもな～んにも言えないのか？言われるがままにいつも静かに笑っ­ているのな君は。さらに、君がそうしたいのなら、勝手にすればい­いが、全くの面識の無いＹＴのマンガポストのアカの他人に命令口­調で強制することじゃないな。ところで日本は今何にも出来ない状­態なんだって？もしかして震災のことか？ワイドショーのアポコメ­ンテーターみたいだね。残念、もっと勉強してからにしようね。ほ­なサイナラ。アホ君。

[crapengine1990]

@tokyocityrat

じゃぁ、偉くなって日本強くしてくれや。期待してるぜ

[crapengine1990]

@tokyocityrat

あと、まぁなんだ、俺も最近のニュース見てるとアメリカのやり方­はたしかに横暴だとは思う。だから君の意見も分かる気にはなって­るんだが、この動画はただのアニメだからさ、そーゆう意見に真っ­向から意思をぶつけたいなら、もっとほかの動画があるだろ？

[tokyocityrat]

@crapengine1990 だから良い子はマンガポストで言いがかりをつけるのやめようねと­いってるでしょ。

[crapengine1990]

@tokyocityrat

言ってることがよく分からんが、とりあえず迷惑だと思うぞ

[usoko1]

@tokyocityrat

下の方が言ってるように…その勢いを他に持っていって下さい。み­んなが楽しんで見るアニメ、しかも昔昔の作品の前で　やめてもらえませんか？　そんなに言いたい事いっぱいあるなら　是非りっぱな政治家になって下さいよ。ただ空気を読み取る事も覚­えてね。

コメント見てるだけで不愉快になっちゃう。

[tokyocityrat]

@usoko1 はいはい、読まないで下さい。空気を読むってどういう事？

[Hesuku]

@sygo7g Anime does not incarnate. Sanitized versions are necessary to protect kids. Hope they kept the original music, though.

[Hesuku]

@sygo7g Casshern(1973) was never aired in USA? That's sad. G-Force(Gatchaman) was, right? Casshern was considered too tragic or serious, maybe? There must be so many good anime of 70's that Americans missed. I have no idea why all those trash anime made into their ways instead. Glad that you found Casshern.

[Hesuku]

@sygo7g Didn't you watch Casshern as kid? Didn't it break your heart?

[Hesuku]

Translation of songs: "My outlook hasn't changed, but my bare arms smash iron. Dreams and hopes were left behind for yesterday, and I only live to battle. I, I am the new humanoid Casshern." The marching of Android Forces reminded us Nazi soldiers...

[Hesuku]

@sygo7g There is more to it. Casshern's mom kept in the swan robot captive to the Hitler guy created enormous sorrow and tension to us viewing kids. I was really, really worried over her safety every time she appeared. Although being invincible, we knew Casshern's inability to be with his mom was a great pain to him. We felt it with him. His mom's determination to help his son win the war and save people in such unbelievable situations all moved us kids. Great work, indeed.

[shinalk]

@Hesuku actually i think that Bryking resemble Mussolini rather than Hitler!

their faces are identical!

[yumeshimanet]

@shinalk Mussolini was far shorter and less slender, then I thought they stated it was clearly created after the nazies, mh...

[GetitUnderCool]

@yumeshimanet Yes, but the jaw and the bald head are the same! and remember that Hitler was inspired by the the way of act of fascists and his SA were inspired by blackshirts

[yumeshimanet]

@GetitUnderCool I'm pretty aware of it, as here in Italy there's still lot of people seeing that as a proud achievement, sigh...

Even so, Mussolini was a mock dictator lacking by a long shot the absolute and obsessive commitment of uncle Adolf; still he gained the power here, no wonder now we got his shameless epygone berlusconi... Oh and also Mussolini's grandchildren and former topless "actress", of course...

[formertofu]

@sygo7g Then you have all the fans of the movie and Sins who say that both are grand pieces of art only because they have small exposure to what's out there. Sure dark and gritty is cool. When its realistic. Like the casshern movie would have been much better if you took all the Casshern references out and made it about a family who's son has gone off to war just to spite the father, the son dies and the husband and wife's relationship falls apart.

[formertofu]

@sygo7g Especially when they base one story on the concept of the title "Neo-Human Casshern" like making Casshern a robot with sperm and there fore he's immortal symbolizing the power of genetics. Yeah Casshern doesn't need THAT to be compelling I want to see him run on those spike gauntlets some more and more epic super squats and punch explosions.

[formertofu]

@sygo7g this is especially disappointing because the Casshern alternatives are crap that want to talk down to the audience or just make them stupid via retardation seriously when you have casshern's sperm be a plot point something has gone south.

[formertofu]

@sygo7g No prob. I'm a classic casshern fan. I wish I knew Japanese or that somebody subbed the damn thing.

[formertofu]

@sygo7g Actually it wasn't so much for drama but rather plot convenience. This way Casshern could find out about the Black King Boss' plans. A lot of the drama in Casshern came from the people who are being attacked by the robots. And when Luna was introduced her father was killed so the robots could get an experimental weapon.

[Hesuku]

@formertofu It wasn't a plot convenience. Casshern's mom was the MAIN thing for some kids and she became a legend afterwards. Her type is seen throughout 70's anime, but I believe she's indeed the pioneer. Beautiful, sacrificial female-figures with sad memories or sad situations. Thanks to all good mothers.

[formertofu]

@Hesuku Well from what I could tell, it seemed like she was a plot convenience. I can't speak japanese so what I know of this series is the basics things conveyed through action and what I can find online.

[theULTIMATETetris]

I know the dog is Friender, but what is up with the duck?

[SpiritSword]

The duck is a robot that has a built in AI containing the memories of Casshern's dead mother.

So his mom is a robot swan. :)

[myserym]

The Casshern's mother isn't dead...the swan contains only the transferred mind of the mother.....at the end of the serie, the mother returns in her body! :) ..great anime!!!

[formertofu]

@theULTIMATETetris Its a swan. Casshern's mom's brain is in the swan. Its silly but at the same time works because this is good over the top fun.

[TerraZero0]

Maybe Casshern is the big brother of Quickman? :P

[n1g3ld34c0n]

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT! *bursts into hysterical laughter* Oh God, that's the best comment ever! And yet it makes so much sense in a way! Jeez, those two look so alike it's ridiculous.

[samuelgd99]

EPIC

[dansquatch]

I didn't realize this anime was from '73. Wow, I guess this is what inspired Megaman.

[PetrovIvanMartin]

@dansquatch And Vanquish

[KajiRider1997]

@dansquatch No that would most likely be Astro Boy not Casshern

[KAXSH]

@dansquatch : THANK YOU!! finally someone says it. I'm sick of everyone sayin Astro Boy inspired Megaman it so didn't this show did. But hey when did you think this show was from if you didn't think it was from '73?

[mortaldoz]

@dansquatch megaman is a lot older or from the same age ^^

[KhaPha]

@mortaldoz the first Mega Man game was actually made 14 years after Casshan. Casshan was one of the main inspirations for Mega Man, especially the X series (Braiking Boss = Sigma). Makes sense since the staff at Capcom are Tatsunoko fans ^^

[mugreroymedio]

somone knows where can i donwload that anime??? i can`t see cashernn sins without seeing this serie first... in the torrent finder i cant find the old anime... haven`t try ares tough... but i doubt i find it there... so if anybody knows please let me konw

[Itachi6x]

Casshern Sins to me would be like a remake of this one

[formertofu]

No its a reboot, a remake is taking the same idea and changing it slightly, Sins changes everything.

[Rosssia]

veoh?

[JackgarPrime]

Should be interesting to see this guy in Tatsunoko x Capcom...

[GadGades]

odd spelling you chose

[gonn2006]

懐かしい！このエンディングテーマいまでもソラで歌えます（笑）­back then I was 2nd grader and this anime was one of my favorites.

[antonigeno]
