It was really good but i think there should be a second season, i also thought that there was a lot of questions not answered in the begineing, like mentioned above on the FINAL THOUGHTS section. but i really hope for a second season though.

[...] Casshern Sins recently finished its run. Impressions around the net seem to be fairly positive. Oh hey, I linked to these blogs before, what a pleasant surprise. Kind of weird that Firefox keeps [...]

People, People, Casshern did not return in that last scene with Luna. that was Luna imagining him coming back to kill her if she forgets death. she is imagining his threat.
also, it was said by Ringo afterwards, that Casshern never did have to return.
though the ending was nice, and it was nice to see grown up Ringo, it didnt really have much closure. Dio is dead, though its a mystery how he managed to die in that position, and Leda curls up next to him, and supposedly just dies too, but wasn’t she immortal?

Here’s what I got from Casshern’s “OR ELSE I’LL BE BACK” thing that I think is easy to miss:

If there’s going to be a natural world of life and death cycles, where people can accept life and death as how the world works instead of trying to cheat it – and if Luna is already the peoples’ symbol of life, then Casshern is saying he will become the symbol of death.

That is to say, Casshern is the new world’s Grim Reaper.

Remember how earlier in the series, people always talked rumors of Luna, talking about her like she’s a God, the universal reason for hope? Casshern wants to be the opposite, the universal reason for fear, so if people fear death in a POST-HOROBI world, then maybe they can live for today and all that good stuff.

Does that make sense? That’s why Ringo mentioned that, in the end, she will get to meet Casshern. Casshern has made himself the Grim Reaper, Hades, etc., and I thought that was really cool.

Other than that, though, I totally agree with you on how the series went. Great final episode, but if it were only a little bit more unified, even in the middle, then the end would actually be that much better.

I think you are way too hard on the show. It was pretty good overall. It could have been faster, but it wasn’t near the mess you make it out to be. Ringo is obviously Leda’s daughter, that’s the deal with her.

Pretty satisfying show IMO. Never expected anything, but we at least got something that aspired to be great, even if it might not have quite gotten there. They needed some direct, in-your-face exposition once in a while (ESPECIALLY for finale), but we didn’t quite get it. But man, everybody thought this show would be an easy pass but it turned out memorable.

A RingoxFriender end… who would have thought? Agreed everyone, this final episode was quite nice.

I agree with Zizou, a 12 episode series would’ve made the show feel less… bloated. Though since they still wouldn’t answer anything I think it would even be more confusing than the current ending (which tried it’s darned hardest to get people to make their own conclusions on things).

Glad the final episode is pretty enjoyable though. Never wanna finish an anime with a bad taste, even if the parts before that were nothing too pleasing.

It should have been a twelve episode series.

Other way around, Casshern the original anime was most likely one of the sources of inspiration for Megaman and Megaman X.
