Netflix has Casshan: Robot Hunter 1, which is an actual anime. I assume that movie is based off of that.

It certainly had a cool look to it. It was one of the crop of movies in the past year or so filmed pretty much entirely with a blue screen (along with Sky Captain, and Immortel (French movie. Pretty weird, but interesting (and it's in English)).

I didn't really follow the plot of Casshern, but it was fun to watch it.

I'd like to see it.

You can get it in the states but its expensive due to it being imported from Japan. Text It's also region 2.

It was an interesting movie but I thought it was way too long then it got all preachy in the end about the horrors of war and how there were no right and wrong sides which sort of made the action scenes in the movie pointless (though they were cool).

a lot of anime is like that though. i usually switch them off towards the end. stupid fist of the north star with the stupid little girl...

:) I can buy it in anime but it doesn't seem to work in live action. I wouldn't say Casshern wasn't worth watching but I'd be disappointed if I'd paid alot of money for it. If you want to see a better thinking movie with visuals, check out Ghost in the Shell Innocence. For entertaining live action, I thought Chronicles of Riddick was much better than the reviews made it out to be.

BTW, they started making new Fist of the North Star episodes.

Yeah it has some decent fight scenes,
BUT it has worse plot than a cheap 2nd rate anime.
The plot makes no sense...no suspense...it's crap.

interesting visuals. but over preachy and storyline was hard to follow.
