Casshern was crap. I tried to get into it before and the quirkiness (why the hell would they build robots that are weak, whats the ruin and what's the point about Casshern, and where the **** are the people? Are they extinct?) and the lack to pull me into its world like many shows made me hesitant to watch another. Unlike Samurai ,where the skipping of the first two episodes were a small detriment, they should have just went to the second episode and skipped this one as that had a more of a first episode feeling. The fact that its a remake of a classic makes me want to see the first series over this as this remake feels like its the beginning of the last half of a series, not the first half. I'll just mute it and keep my TV on to give ratings and watch Fist of the North Star or something better than this tripe.
Deadman Wonderland is like a combination of the many things I like right now: Battle Royale's collars,Timberlake's In Time but with candy (c'mon a drug/crack metaphor), a Disney-esque evil corporation and the the conspiracy theory factor. Aside from the glaring plot holes such as the rather convenient fabrication of evidence and the police's incompetence (how can someone pin a murder on a kid where the windows were damaged and the attack came from the outside), I'm warming up to it . The girl is making me wonder a ton and I'll make sure to be surprised all the way and not read any spoilers as its captivating.
