Package art for the Casshan: Robot Hunter (1993) OVA (original video animation) from Tatsunoko Productions and Artmic.

This was a four episode remake of the original 1973 Neo-Human Casshern anime series, also from Tatsunoko.

So, I've been binging this new YouTube channel I found called NovaZone, and I'm watching a retrospective on Casshern/Cassshan/Kyasshan (however you pronounce it), which on top of being really interesting early anime stuff, it's finally given me a solid idea for Akechi's first costume.

His Black Mask design has always been pretty solid, but for his original look, I wanted to pull more from Japanese heroes like Sentai and... Honestly, until I watched this video I assumed that Sentai encompassed all Japanese Superheroes (because I'm uncultured and stupid)-

Anyways, none of the ones I'd seen ever really clicked. Until I saw Casshern's design in his second series, Robot Hunter.

THIS. GOES. SO. HARD.

And with the all white color scheme, I could easily use it as a basis for Crow's costume, with some tweaks of course. Gotta fit the Crow theme in, not to mention the elements of Moon Knight and Heroic Green Goblin which he takes some inspiration from tech-wise.

Now I just need the proper amount of focus to actually make that-

... Here's hoping I hear from the Psychiatrist on Monday 🤞

I got a prompt elsewhere to draw a fusion of Dr. Wily ( Megaman ) and Dr. Gero ( Dragon Ball Z ). I made the mistake of putting on boss music then blacked out. I really wanted a retro anime vibe on this one- I was mostly inspired by the Casshern: Robot Hunter OVAs from the 90s. Somehow the equation in my head was ‘Wily + Gero = Astroboy villain” and without much familiarity with astroboy I can’t even say this vintage aviator-adjacent man is even accurate to that vibe.

My Top favorite anime shows thus far.   PART 1

Here are some of my personal fav anime series that really stuck out to me in terms of either storytelling also plot as well as characters and just overall enjoyment & satisfaction levels, even for some that got their flaws but still means a lot to me and why I love this medium so much.

First: Cowboy Bebop. Honestly do I even need to say anything about this anime that hasn't been said already.  But for real there’s a reason why this show is consider the gateway anime for newcomers with its mature character-driven story also cool mixed-mush stylistic nature of the show in terms of genres like Jazz, Sci-Fi ,  American Western , & a whole bunch of other influences that still makes this anime so iconic & watchable.      

Casshern Sins.    This is a 2009  darker continuity reboot of the original 70s anime known as Neo Human Casshern,  now I have never seen the original older anime before except seeing a few clips of it here & there. But I can tell you how much I loved this more updated version of it. The world of Casshern is set within a barren, desolate, post-apocalyptic hellhole were a plague called the Ruin has killed both man and robots alike...except for one super advanced humanlike robot named Casshern whose memories of said events are no more also who is the main one responsible for the Ruin happening. This was the anime (besides Bebop)  I’ve watched on Toonami  that made me go more in depth in terms of anime shows & seeing that there was a lot more to it then I originally thought. While Casshern Sins does has its flaws & isn’t perfect in parts of its jigsaws puzzle plot...But I can’t help but love this show simply for what it is while knowing it got its problems to it.                       

Space Dandy : Another Shinichiro Watanabe anime that I feel is highly overlooked as well as being pretty underappreciate is the zany for out insanity   but oh so such a grand time  kind of episodic series that is Space Dandy. I remember back during 2014 watching CN sometime at night seeing the very first Toonami  official trailer of Dandy and I instantly knew upon seeing the high energetic also different quick shots of aliens & the cool animation & such that Yes! This anime is truly going to be something I can really see myself getting into.  And I was right, Space Dandy I feel is truly one of those gems within seasonal anime or when it comes to anime as whole. For those who don’t know the plot, the show focuses on poor at times down on his luck alien hunter named Dandy who is a lover of all the ladies really  *All* women regardless of species & his little robot partner  QT who is pretty much the voice of reasons as well as Meow who is a feline-like alien otaku , kind of lazy, slacker that’s become apart of Dandy crew in the search for new & rare alien species to find for money.    One of  the things of I love about Dandy is that its probably the most creatively experimental anime show out there so far, in terms of having every each episode done by either a different director , artist , also animator in the Industry that gives said episode a new art / animation style or storyline every episode. Given that the series is mostly episodic by nature...but it does have an overreaching main plot detail that’s all comes together towards the end.   Either way Space Dandy is truly a enjoyable , fun , comedic, sometimes emotional epic universal adventure.              

Wolf Rain:  Yet another pretty old school also somewhat a bit underrated and classic emotional journey of a series is Wolf Rain.  Now for those who don’t know nothing about this show, Wolf rain is an 2003 ( thou it does look kind of 90s ) fantasy drama set within a world on the verge of dying were years of war between the nobility have reduced the world to a barren wasteland with only a handful of high-tech cities. It is said within legend that on the very last days of civilization that wolves will follow the scent of lunar flowers that will lead the way to Paradise, too bad that its just a myth or is it?  This series is what I would call a beautifully sad fantastical adventure about these group of actual lone wolves that can change themselves to appear human on a journey to find, to search for some kind of safe heaven from a world that’s close to the end.  While not perfect or super great in terms of certain elements to some episodes or aspects of some of the story that could’ve been handle better, I seriously love this anime for its heartbreaking journey as well as its characters  and the emotions attach to it.      

Astro Boy:  Yet another old school but highly classic, influential anime that I feel can be somewhat underrated or for lack of a better word super underappreciated within the anime community sometimes  is the always timeless Astro boy.     Now when it comes to this series / long time franchise I  first got hooked into it a few years back upon my more recent further adventuring when it came to anime as a whole, and while I personally already knew about the iconic history in terms of  Astro or also known as the “Mighty Atom” I was still curious to see also find out what’s more does this series had to offer which lead me into watching the 1980s Astro boy series  then continue on with my watching with the 2003 slightly  updated version of the show.   Honestly while I equally love both versions for a lot of different reasons...I got to say the 80s show is without a doubt my more preferable far liked one more then the early 2000s series version, mostly due to certain changes in the overall 2000s one that I didn’t quite cared for.  But Astro Boy in its entirety is truly I would say is remarkable & endearing in its episodic  stories which for the most part tends to sometimes end on a bittersweet note but still manage to be enjoyable.  With varying episodes  bordering a mix between both heartwarming and humorous as well as being emotional  & heartbreakingly sad sometimes not to mention touching on some pretty serious themes here and there,  Another reason why I love this anime is due to the fact that I’ve really don’t see a lot of attention or love going towards Astro way like I know that you do have other fans of this iconic little robot boy hero...but yet I feel when it comes to Tezuka other  works is that they seem to get left underappreciated within the anime fanbase at times.    I always hear how other anime fans seem to constantly hype up or praise Hayo Miyazaki namesake non-stop ,  when honestly if its wasn’t for Osamu Tezuka both manga & anime wouldn’t be what it mainly is today since the man himself is literally known as one of the founding father of equally both manga & anime for the most part,  but  yea when it comes to Astro I got to say its a anime that I wish others would give it a shot more and try to really experience this cute but still great classic series.                                               Yelp that’s its for now as of part 1 of some of my fav anime shows,  I’ll work on part 2 hopefully soon next time.
