Comments on: Casshern Sins - 02 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/10/09/casshern-sins-02/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

LOL. So biased :). I have to say, I have now had the chance to watch the three series which seem to feature Kugimiya Rie's iconic tsundere roles: Zero no Tsukaima, Shakugan no Shana and Toradora. For the record, I loathed ZnT; SnS had some annoyance factor but, ultimately, I didn't mind it; and I absolutely adored Toradora. Seriously, if you ever get time between all the many series you're currently watching, I'd recommend giving it another go. These characters very quickly become worlds larger than their base stereotypes, and even if the ultimate destination is already predictable, the way this series get there is thoroughly entertaining and engrossing. If you still hate it after Episode 4, that's fine, but dropping it at Episode 1 because you think Taiga is a Shana clone is a real shame. “Hearing ‘urusai urusai urusai’ once was enough to convince me to never go near Toradora again.”

Where did you get that? In my opinion, that would be way too long for this series. 12-13 episodes seem just right. At episode 06, we've already seen practically all the major characters (with one of the main antagonists, Dio, ending up critically wounded) and there just seems little room left to go beyond that. 24 episodes in all?

Take wolf's rain and darker than black for an example, both are directed by the same guy yet wolf's rain is an instant classic whereas darker than black is just boring. However, wolf's rain and eureka seven have the same chief scriptwriter, and both are great. director doesn’t mean anything, it’s the scriptwriter that matters.

Apparently that happened in the second episode, from what you've written. Will keep an eye out for that one. As for the director....well, I'm no expert, but a competent director can't do too much if, say, the writing is subpar. It probably also helps if the material plays to his strengths (or experience) rather than his weaknesses (or inexperience). That said...I'm not a DBZ guy, but Yamauchi did a pretty good job with his later Saint Seiya work (13 OVAs and the last movie), though that was probably also the more interesting part of Saint Seiya as a whole, thus somewhat less formulaic compared to what came before and after. Not exactly the most interesting thing in the world, I suppose, but there it is.

And Mouryou no Hako is not bad anyway, a pretty good horror and adapted from awarded novel , I found it too scary for my own taste though after reading vol.1 of the manga. About Cassern sins,there are something I found annoying (like that robot girl's voice)but the concept still looks promising so it's good you are going to blog this one. Actually almost or every show you blog is also the show I watch so far so looking forward to your blog this season again!
