| well that was weird and random. i didn't like it... |
p r o f i l e đź‘€ |
| well this time casshern didn't go on a mindless rampage and kill more innocent robots, just an army of evil ones |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| This was the best episode so far. Loved the scene at the end and the song was nice. Those robots are stupid. Even if they think that eating Casshern will save them can't they see that they have no chance to win against him? They only make there death come a lot faster. |

I woudn't use the term "stupid", since they don't have much to lose and Casshern may be their only hope. But... yeah, they are still stupid. And I agree, that was the best episode so far for me too. This show is probably going to be in my Top 5 when I complete it =D i don't know if it would be a top 5 but i will certainly give it a generous score. I love the atmosphere they built. Next episode is also amazing, i think you will really like it. |
| Oh how I wish my jumps were that cool |
| Did Janice die after she finished her song? When she told Casshern to "take her" I thought this anime was about to enter a totally different genre! LOL!! Overall great ep, and I loved both songs that Janice sang. Made me a little misty-eyed... |
 |
| Didn't expect this episode to be so powerful, I already had a feeling it would become a Macross-like episode, but it still caught me off-guard. Very nice episode indeed. |
| The most beautiful episode of Casshern Sins I've seen to date. The ending battle; Casshern against over a hundred robots; Lyuze helping out too; and Janice singing was just the greatest thing I've seen so far. |
| (DUB) Whoa... this episode was pretty damn good. I'll have to watch it subbed later to compare the music. |
| that had to be caitlin glass singing. |
 |
| i realy do not like music based anime's / episodes for some reason! ugh i didnt care for this ep |
 |
| The singing sucked :/ |
| last few episodes have been pretty disappointing |
 |
| Hope... I love all the female characters in this show. Reminds me of Darker than Black. |
| That was beautiful but my god it threw me off when Janice started singing in English right the fuck out of nowhere. |
| What's with all the hate for this show? I absolutely loved this episode and would even go as far to say this was the best episode yet and still people complain that it isn't a Slice of Life anime with school girls and panty shots |
| That ending was quite lovely! The episode in general was a bit boring compared to the others but was still pretty nice. |
 |
| When Janice suddenly started singing and stops the robots in their tracks I totally got Macross flashbacks "Minmay Attackkk!!" Spectacular episode visually and the battle with the background of the singing was beautifully choreographed. Now having said that, the mood, setting and Casshern's character have been well defined. I'd like for the story to move forward now. |

| *speechless* Utterly brilliant episode.. That ending sequence was one of the best things I've seen. Period. These past two episodes have been different for Casshern. He meets people who have hope amidst the ruin. This also serves as good character development for him. Like the past ep, he is shown that hope can win amidst the ruin, and that he shouldm't blame himself for what he has done apparently. 5/5 |

slayer545-sama said: JadeMatrix said: Thirded The scene at the pink lake (the environments in CS are always astounding and defy logic) was somehow very ballet-like in its surreal-ness. And we finally get to see Casshern use his hip (!) rockets. I second that it's about time to see those rockets being used I was kind of sick seeing them only for decorations. Fourthed/fifthed/sixthed They definitely had an alright concept for the episode, but it somehow didn't go exactly as planned. The first song at the start was freaking bad. And the start of the second song she sang (lolol alliteration) was pure fucking weirdness. I don't know if she was tone-deaf or what. The song sung in Black Lagoon (I think with the Romanian kids) was more pleasing (though weirder because such a mature voice by a kid??? Seriously???) to hear. That rocket-boost was awesome shit. Didn't know they were rockets, let alone usable at all. |
| Casshern Sins managed to capture the dark brooding atmosphere of Texhnolyze with the feelings given off by Ergo Proxy... That great mix is what drew me to this show but this disjointed episodic formula is getting on my nerves. If no overarching plot is revealed within it's run, this show will go from a 7 to 6 for me. |
 |
| Apparently, English is the language of hope in apocalyptic times. |
| This episode made me glad that i decided to resurrect this old project. I started watching this show several years back but i stopped watching after the sixth episode. With few changes i think this episode could have stand on it's own legs and would be have been good enough to be released as mini movie. |
| Amazing episode! |
| A true man never dies. |
 I don't dislike Casshern Sins, but I am bothered by how hard it tries to come across as profound. The desert field full of giant mics was questionable, as I wasn't exactly sure what that was implying. I get it's a music-based episode, but that just came across as a one-off bit trying to set the tone for the episode, which was already set when Janice halted that fight with the power of song. I would have never expected Casshern Sins to try something that corny, but I guess my expectations need adjustments. Casshern Sins truly is in love with itself. That hit me when Ringo started crying silent tears as she looked on in awe at Janice, singing a melancholic "look into yourself" type of song as Casshern, Friender, and Lyuze were all fighting outside. It's one of those "horrors of the world" type of deals that's supposed to make you feel bad, but it's really transparent and blatant. Yet, Casshern Sins continues to impress me nonetheless. I mean, this episode was gorgeous, and not through sheer prettiness and details. It's gritty and rough with hard lines and stark, washed out colors, yet it finds some way to glow through all that dirt and grime. The show's style is amazing, as it's so full of confidence in how it conducts itself. If I could have my way, I'd like more silence with a greater emphasis on traveling, rather than constant destinations + humanoid robots we're supposed to care about + generic robots scripted to get wrecked. I enjoy predictability and consistency, but since Casshern Sins is trying to drive an underlying plot, I'm not sure if the episodic setup is appropriate here. Again, as this show continues, I'm hoping for more episodes that are just on the road, rather than focusing around minor characters and landmarks. The world of Casshern Sins is a great and terrifying void, and I'd like to see more of it. But, I'm not the director, so all I can do is enjoy the ride. Thinking over my gripes with the show though, they have to do with either dialogue or sounds. Perhaps I just like the way Casshern Sins looks and flows visually? |
| Well, unlike most people here, I loved the previous episode, but this one was... urg. Cheesy. |
Prophetess of the Golden Era  |
| Fantastic ending, pretty good singing if she wasn't a native english speaker. |
 |
| I disagree with many people about this episode being bad. It's just like the other one. For me this show so far is the path of Casshern to rediscover and redemption, all along the overcome of destruction through hope. |
 |

| Beautiful episode. The singing was a bit out of place the first time, but the second, at the ending, is perfect. I really want Janice to stay around. The last time I really felt that way about one of the characters introduced in this show was in episode 2 or so that featured the guy with the stubble, but alas he died. |
| Boring episode tbh... |
| crying I swear fans/watchers can ruin a series for me due to their comments. I probably love Janice will all my heart and soul; I'm still listening to her music (Luize's VA; English dub is good to..I think it's Caitlin Glass?). She is one of the most enthusiastic thing-bots walking within this Ruin. She sings but she follows that her existence has meaning. The only thing that's bothersome is that these meet ups with these "bots a day" doesn't seem to affect Casshern as he often mopes. Casshern needs to understand his "meaning" even if he feels lost. (but I was kinda depressed too so I needed to hear that. "Existence as meaning".) |
 |
| I started tearing up the moment Ringo did. That was seriously beautiful. Ringo's reaction is what ultimately made me cry because I got myself very attached to her, I love how she is the innocent heart in a world full of darkness (it's not often that kids in anime are portrayed in such an endearing manner), but the entire scene was mesmerising with Janice singing while Casshern is fighting outside, the one who brings hope and the one who brings despair... I think Janice would get along well with the lady from last episode. It's too bad we didn't get a real conclusion for her story though, but I guess she'll soon die in the hands of the ruin. This anime is definitely an hidden gem, why is the score so low ? It'd deserve so much more recognition. (Reading the comments, I agree that this episode as a whole was a bit boring and cheesy but its message, as stereotypical as it is, was necessary in the context of the show. Each character Casshern encounters is important, and I think each episode manages to beautifully convey its message.) |
 |
| The way how they focused so much on the singing, I don't know...it just felt kind of pretentious |

| time for casshern to accompany a singer. it is dread all over |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| One of the best episodes yet imo. Janice is just trying to make the wasteland a better place, and for once Casshern was able to use his killing powers for good to eliminate those that wanted to rid the world of that hope. Idk, some might call it cheesy but the juxtaposition of innocent people listening to a song of hope and Casshern mowing down a horde of killer robots to protect those innocents was really cool to me. It seems like even if Casshern really did cause the ruin, he's truly trying to atone and save the people that are worth saving in the remnants of the world. |
