First two new animes...
When I watched Casino Royale, I was surprised by how old it looked/felt for a James Bond film - and then by how much that look felt right.
It feels like they're trying to do the same thing with Casshern Sins:
Not enough plot so far, so it still depends. But in any case, its oldschool!shiny.
Hyakko -
kirarakim recced the new show based on the first episode and there's a reason I liked Azumanga Daioh, Gakuen Alice, Kare Kano et all. It all comes down to the expressions and timing, lol.
And despite it just being about 4 new girls who got lost in school, it was an excellent intro:
Our man girl has the mos adorable crybaby!expression:
We also have those chibi!moments that can even be found in Kare kano:
This is the character that sold me - jumps out a second story window and for some reason made me think girl!Duo. DON'T ASK ME WHY:
Well, girl!Duo hurts her ankle but then...
We have girl!Heero, complete with monosyllabic answers and intent gaze XD
I like girl!Duo.
A lot.
Especially when she constantly refers to girl!Heero
And puches a witness to their accidental vandalism...who turns out to be their teacher.
But yeah, it was fun ^_^ First surprise of the anime season!

And I ended up watching Casshern too. I am not sure how I feel about the story (maybe too somber for me) But the awesome character designs and that lovely beach scene between Ringo and Casshern tells me I should give a few episodes a shot.
The only thing Casshern really wins out in is art, so...let's hope the plot is good. I don't know, was hoping for something...more. Will try the next few eps though. If I drop it and peeps find it picks up at the end, will add to marathon list :)
For some reason the girl!Duo reminds of Maka in that uniform.
I think the ponytail at the back gave a duo impression but the loose hair on the left and right looks like Maka XD
I'm wondering if Casshern will be a 26 or 35 episode series since the previous was 35 episodes.
And the fact that she was crazy enough to jump out of a second floor window. lol.
Is the episde number listed at ANN?
HAHA, yes - and then when Suzu landed and the camera did the up and down movement and they were both together XD Girl!Heero&Duo!
*repeated headdesk*
The only way to ever know if the series is going to fabulous is to watch it all the way and even then, there's no telling if it'll be great. Like how MF started off fabulous and then dipped and then that ending. lol.
*pets*
Yeah, I usually end up relying on peeps who are watching it *coughcoughlikeyoucoughcough* before giving it a second try XD
*cuddles*
