So like robots were made immortal, and then they were made mortal.
They were so obsessed over their lost of immortality, they only thing in their existence that mattered now was the search of ways to take it back.
Instead of, you know, working, partying, building new robots, basically living.
That's the point of them being unable to become human.
Humans are inherently mortal, so instead of doing stupid shit like trying to become immortal, they spend their limited time on fun and productive shit instead.
Or a supposed to anyway.
We didn't have internet and anime if every single human in history wasn't doing something good.
That's MY takeaway from the show at least.
They were but remember they were immortal before the ruin.
Death was finally a reality for them and most of them got desperate while some were clinging to things long gone.
Well imagine somebody right now cuts of your dick and runs off with it.
You a now living without your dick, even if you catch they guy it's not like you can attach it back like it used to be.
And then you're hearing rumors that if you find and eat some unrelated dude, your dick will grow back like it used to be. Not some shitty imitation, not a prosthesis, it literally magically will be restored to normal.
What will you do? Keep living dickless, settling for imitations and what not, or drop everything and bet your entire life on finding and eating magic dude just to get your dick back?
No imagine this happening on the global scale, instantly, everywhere at once.
99% of dudes will abandon their social responsibilities and will search the world for dick-restoring dude, the society will collapse.
Immortality seems like it would become boring after enough time. I absolutely love anime and video games but I can't see myself doing this when I'm 80, especially with the ever declining quality of the mediums. now imagine if I had eternity to do these things, there would be a point where they would lose all meaning because it's become so routine it's like breathing. Things need to have an end in order for them to matter, any thing that doesn't end, no matter how pleasurable, becomes meaningless given enough time.

That's not true >>bro living till 80 would be fricking boring I'm telling yea
80 is not the same as 800 and spending several life times watching any friends and loves grow old and die would leave you broken and jaded at best or emotionally dead at worst.

What if you turned into one of those people that have like 50 pet dogs, and they’re constantly passing away and being replaced with new dogs. People like that are wack

This is actually quite profound in that, this is a brief opportunity to feel what it is like to be immortal on a small scale.
Especially if you have small pets that do not last too long.. Only difference is you need to be emotionally engaged to them in a way you just can't like with another human.

I dunno why anyone thinks they would be mentally or physically capable of handling being immortal
As long as you're alive you can adapt to literally anything.

>As long as you're alive you can adapt to literally anything.
And not every adaption is as beneficial as you might think. War victims ADAPT by retreating into their subconscious. People who experience great trauma can ADAPT by regressing mentally. Shutting yourself out into a vegetative state is an ADAPTATION.
If you were an antisocial person who sees most human beings as living garbage and you have zero hope for the human race, you could easily live as an immortal without too many mental problems.
If you were someone who would like to learn a lot but doesn't have the time, you would probably never get bored.
The real problem would be keeping the same name and surname, sooner or later you could attract attention and most likely you would end up becoming a guinea pig to discover the secret of immortality.
Basically to be immortal you also need a power that allows you to defend yourself, the ideal would be psychic abilities to alter people's minds.

Your brain can only handle so much though, and you would just get bored from the most basic things
I'd imagine after sometime you'd just lose your sense of self
Luna didn’t matter, she can’t stop the ruin.
Love couldn’t stop the ruin either, so Lyuze’s entire purpose was just to make Casshern an emo sand phantom.
Casshern has a 50% chance of being the father.
Braiking boss wasn’t even relevant to the plot.
That’s about it.
not really
I can only speak for the original show but it's not "emo" but it is definitely filled to the brim with extremely melancholic scenes and also tons of brutal death and screaming, on both sides of the conflict. People get their flesh stripped off by heatrays and I remember at least one suicide bombing scene. Almost every episode has a family member watch one of their relatives die.
It gets worse because the robot armies are depicted as their own beings, not as mindless drones. Even the regulars who Casshan can dispatch easily are explained to feel pain; there's a scene in the desert where Casshan destroys them en masse and the narrator describes them as being in "agonizing pain."
It is catchy but awful. It is second rate and the genre is unappealing.

That's MY takeaway from the show at least.
We've never experienced immortality and we're still wracked with existencial dread and fear of death. The desire for immortality is panhuman and plainly visible throughout history. People deal with it by having kids to carry the flame or by trying to create monuments and empires to immortalize their memory.
I found Sins' ending to be horribly anticlimatic, unsatisfying and not worth the overall trip. Am I just incapable of grasping brilliant subtlety and metaphor, or was it actually poorly handled.
I was hopelessly confused when I first watched it in 08, and I'm pretty sure I still don't understand the ending. It left me feeling pretty deflated, but its episodic nature really makes it more of a journey instead of destination kind of anime. It still sticks with me(more accurate to say it haunts me) to this day so it must have something special to it.
Life can not exist without death.
An eternal existence leads to apathy and an in ability to empathize or appreciate existence but no one has the right to deny people that if that's what they want or need to keep going.
Casshern's warning is simply any that would devalue the meaning of life would face him as the incarnation of death to remind them of what being alive means.
The Ruin was born from the blood of a life giver and a life taker who neither understood the meaning what it means to be alive and it faded when both of them learned, Luna the terror of death that is inescapable for the living and Casshern the irreplaceable value of a life when taken
You're talking about something that you have neither understanding nor experience with. Shut up.
The only thing that can lead person to apathy is themselves being a dumb ass.
Like you.
just like enjoy life while you can man
But then what was up with the Ruin lunas blood shit? Was it a metaphor or allegory ? What was up with the twins
The first problem is going into an anime thinking any of it is a "metaphor" or "allegrory".
That stuff doesn't matter. The anime's theme is to live your life instead of wallowing knowing that you will die some day.
You listen to your voice
Listen to your heart
Do you even smile?
What's to get?
Live your life, don't be a c**t while you do it

Not OP but I couldn't really get behind the whole immortality is bad thing when everybody in that world was dying really quickly of super cancer.

That's because you don't understand life.
Immortality is bad is cope from people who have to come to terms with the fact that they aren't immortal. Being immortal would be great.

If you're a c**t, Casshern is gonna jumpscare the shit out of you.
KILL CASSHERN
EAT CASSHERN
KYASSHAN WO KOROSE!
Is this an actual continuation of the previous shows?
No, each Casshan entry is standalone
Luna didn’t matter, she can’t stop the ruin.

Frickin' GOAT apocalyptic despair anime. Show is one of my all time faves.
Existentiality poster boy. That's all you need to know about it.
Isnt cashern just astro boy but for emos?
why, because it deals with depression? astroboy does that as well.
It's astroboy for non-pedos.

live and reproduce
life's miserable if you're a c**t
I get it but I didn't like it.
IBO is peak gundam and a 10/10 pleb filter.
You don't have a sense of taste.
It is Berserk with a Gundam paintjob. Unfortunately, Witch from Mercury is probably gonna be normie-tier.
I wish we got more gundams out of it and a reveal of all the Gundam frames
NEE IMA
The intro song is addicting
Everyone dies, nobody communicates.
