Casshern Sins (キャシャーン SINS, Kyashān Shinsu?) is a reboot of the classic anime series Neo Human Casshern, animated by Madhouse. It premiered in Japan on October 1, 2008, following a sneak preview of the first episode at Otakon 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland.
The series completely discards the continuity presented in the original Neo-Human Casshern anime series, in which Casshern was a cybernetic superhero battling the evil robotic forces of Buraiking Boss (often mistranslated in English as "Black King Boss"; the name derives from the Japanese 無頼 or burai, meaning rogue or brute) in a post-apocalyptic Earth. In Casshern Sins, Casshern is presented as a cyborg subordinate of Buraiking Boss who was ordered to assassinate the savior of mankind, and has thus doomed the Earth to ruin. Casshern Sins made its English broadcast premier on Funimation Channel on December 21, 2010. A manga adaptation had been announced recently and it was published in Jive's Monthly Comic Rush Magazine.
