I am one of the incredibly lucky people to have seen this show on Broadway a mere two days before it closed. I saw it having been a fan of the book and also of Hugh Panaro who played The Phantom in the first Broadway show I’d ever seen. It was with maniacal irony that the performance of Lestat that I saw was the one where his role was played by Drew Sarich (Armand). He was incredible and blew the roof off the place. I loved the show and him. I love this performance for that reason.
So this is the first movie I ever remember watching in my lifetime. I was prolly 3 or 4 and let me just say that this was WAY too heavy for kids. 😱 But then again it prepared me for life. We all start out as a little Unico & just get screwed all thoughout life. Still to this day I fear no one more than Lord Kuruku!
Yeah I remember lying in bed stoned beyond any reasonable degree and suddenly you get subjected to this movie. Afterwards I wondered if it was just confusing because of what state I was in, but that really wasn't the problem. A fantastic hot mess, but it was vibrant, alive and it does try to bring homage to the source material in a way that seems so foreign, especially nowadays.
this looks super cool. very stylish. i just can't believe that after doing all that damage to those robots that he's having a super difficult time with the out of shape flubby chubby dude lolll.
That was a very good movie for that low budget and for these years 2004. Just 7 milion of dollars of production. Nice story and a good production for that old 1971 anime.
When he spun dove into the robot I wanted to cry of joy. 🤣 Nostalgia for the 70s anime went through the F roof, I was about to overload. 😂 Cheers from Italy.
I had never heard of Casshern. I came here because I looked something up for DMC5, then looked if Bayonetta had something to do with DMC, they had the same director, Bayonetta was from Platinum Games who had also done Vanquish, found out that Vanquish took inspiration from Casshern, got me interested and then looked for anime scenes of Casshern on RU-vid and found this. Looks pretty good for 2004. Wish more tried to go for a style of their own.
I watched so many anime series and films in my lifetime but there was none as creepy as this scene where Toby is like the Pied Piper of Hamelin has taken the humanity of his neighbors whom he turned into living puppets until he brings them all to his master. The sound of Toby's flute, which is without a name stayed with me for years until the Internet piqued by curiosity to rediscover what this is. The other part of this story that stayed with me is Unico's never-ending life of loneliness where he has to lose his friends in the end.
