<div class="IPBDescription">New movie if you liked The Matrix</div> <a href='http://www.casshern.com' target='_blank'>Casshern</a>

Set in an alternate universe where one of the last great wars still rages on.

It's an asian film, so probably won't see an overseas release other than on DVD.

Wait till about the 1min mark in the trailer for absolute awesome sauce action.

Go watch. Enjoy.


And yes I promise I will get around to answering those damn anime questions... just busy with work and going out partying...

    Damn that looks like it could be cool. Reminded me some of the FF series also, just with the hair styles, and costumes.

    Now how about dubbing the trailer? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Looks bah dass.

    It seems like the quality of the 3d sections shifted every now and then, tho.

    Reminds me more of Final Fantasy than the Matrix. Interesting plot-line though the CG could've been done better (so much for budget). But the director has some interesting visions, hopefully we may see a limited release here.

    By looking at a rough translation of the Casshern BBS using Systran, I also figured out that there's going to be a soundtrack at the end of April. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Sorry for the double-post, but this is big news! One of the people on the BBS eMailed me a transcript of the trailer. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> It hasn't got proper grammar because the person can't understand English and had to use a translator, but it was still very nice of him. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    meh, it looked pretty cool until that guy's visor enclosed his face.

    From then on, it was one painfully burning flashback to one of the worst franchises in the last century, Power Rangers.

    Don't ask why.

    Thanks forrester, that helps put the whole thing in context. I hope they get Sub titles though.

    I quite like the look of it. I'm certainly looking forward to getting my hands on it. I think I'd prefer it with subs, people rarely manage to make dubs convincing and not detract from what's going on in the movie.

    The city party scenes remind me of <a href='http://www.gamespy.com/asp/image.asp?http://games.gamespy.com/artwork/20031119_144448_ffxii01.jpg' target='_blank'>Final Fantasy XII</a>, and it looks pretty sweet. Maybe it'll warrent a rent if it pulls a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and gets released in america subbed.
