C&C - Casshern Sins - "Believe in the Flower that Lives in Your Heart" [9/29]

[macattack]

We get a more traditional-ish Casshern Sins episode this week after the experimental-ism of the last one.

Last time on Casshern Sins:

Spoiler:

Lyuze basically goes through a bunch of crazy dream sequences and comes out of them realizing she's in love with Casshern. She accepts this and moves on from her hatred of Casshern, and hopes that her late sister, Liza, who was the first victim of the Ruin, would accept this . . .

LAst time: Uhhhhh...the only thing I remember was that there was a confession. And some black guy died of sex or something.

[animePWNS]

"Casshern's eternity is my ruin." Whoa...

Believe in the flower that believes in...uh, never mind.

[Bernkastel]

Last time? Lyuze goes through something. I'm not really sure. I assume it has to do with plot advancement.

[Kitschensyngk]

You always DEVOUR the ones you love.

Flag on the moon. How did it get there?

This isn't going to be like how Wolf's Rain ended, is it? Everyone wanders the wastelands until they all die off one by one?

[Nobodyman]

Believe in the flower that believes in the me that believes in you!

[animePWNS]

It really is traditional; hot girl of the week.

[Nobodyman]

Flag on the moon. How did it get there?

Well, ya see, back in 1969...

[Kitschensyngk]

Believe in the flower that believes in the me that believes in you!

Aww, I was gonna use that one. ...if I'd thought of it.

If they'd wanted a robot girl who can fight, then why didn't they bring Sofia back?

She looks like that one character from Street Fighter.

Wait...she's a DUDE?!
OHH, okay, she just sounds like Miss Katz. I was wrong.

[Nobodyman]

All right, what's this chick's deal?

Isn't it bit late to be introducing new characters?

Huh, I thought the Hydra just grew three heads whenever you cut one off. Wrong again Disney's Hercules.

[Kitschensyngk]

How rude. She comes out of nowhere and then just goes and tries to kill you without so much as a by-your-leave.

Who IS she, Casshern's ex-girlfriend?

[animePWNS]

Just burn the heads and bury the invincible one under rocks. That's how Hercules defeated it in mythology.

[Gold Starz]

So just to recap so far: Evil Chick and Robot come, Evil Chick and Robot attack, Evil Chick attacks Lyuze and mocks her skill, Casshern kills Robot, Evil Chic kills herself to be with Robot. Is that right so far?

[Kitschensyngk]

Not before the last episode, I hope.

I still find it weird that she's nice to him.

Relax, they're just butterflies.

Uhh...is this another psych-out?

[animePWNS]

Is she afraid of butterflies, now?

Or maybe that's a poppy field a la Wizard of Oz.

[Nobodyman]

I'm sorry is there a point to this episode?

For pete's sake, how long do we have to deal with Lyuze and her acid trips?

[Gold Starz]

Flowers and butterflies are terrifying things apparently.

[FFmax]

Okay, did I miss something? Just who the hell were those two? And why did they attack Casshern and Lyuze like that? Or were they another type of symbolism or something? This show is getting a bit weird.

[Bernkastel]

You know what? I believe it's time I head for bed. I'll probably understand this episode better with some sleep.
