A plague known as the Ruin sweeps across the world, reducing everything in its path to rubble. Robots and humans alike seek vengeance against him, for he has been named the sole cause of the Ruin. Casshern, lost in this unknown world, struggles to find the answers to life and to find out what really happened to this world that he was shoved into.
Main Genre: Action
This is a pretty brutal and bloody series. Let’s see how it rates~
Romance: 5/10
This series only has the standards to build up a romantic theme in the background. While it is beautiful, I can’t rate it very high.
Fighting: 10/10
Focusing mostly on the constant fighting that Casshern must face, they have done the fights pretty well. Casshern seems like he is dancing as he fights, putting on this beautiful show while destroying his enemies.
Story: 8/10
While throughout the series, it seems that this series has a deep side that I just loved going into. Some of the lines and quotes were simply beautiful. However, I have noticed some points where the story seems to contradict itself just a bit.
Comedy: 3/10
There are some pretty funny moments that occur, though they are overshadowed by the serious tone of this series. If you want something to make you laugh, this series is simply not for you
Fan Service: 1/10
There really isn’t any at all.
Overall Score: 6/10
