Madhouse is back animating one the Fall's most gorgeous titles, Casshern Sins.
In a Reboot of the franchise, Tatsunoko Productions takes the series and story of Casshern down a darker path than before.
Braiking Boss, ruler of the robots enslaved humanity and ruled over the world after robots-have becomes self-aware.
A girl named Luna, summoned by the people, in order to bring salvation of mankind. Fearing her as a potential threat, Braiking sent three of his most powerful cyborg warriors to dispose of Luna: Casshern, Dio and Leda. Casshern, the strongest warrior, manages to track down and kill Luna, however, this triggers a cataclysmic event which sets into motion the end of the world.
Hundreds of years later, the world's atmosphere is filled with poison, and, due to the inability of most remaining humans to reproduce, as well as the constant threat posed by the robots, humanity is on the brink of extinction.
Robots fare little better, fearing death as much as humans do: the poisonous environment quickly causes their mechanical bodies to rust and corrode, forcing them to constantly replace their damaged parts. In this wretched time and place, Casshern, who had disappeared following the assassination of Luna, returns with no memory of who he is or what he had done.
As he embarks on a journey to find out the truth about himself, he defends the humans against the robots
