The rescue of this classic a few years ago was defintiely welcome as the original Casshan series has a lot going for it. Sentai brought out a five-disc set in its original Japanese language only as no dub was made for it and it’s still in print and can be streamed from HIDIVE. The show, however, never had its trailer added to the official channel so it didn’t register as much or generate talk by fans to entice others with. That’s now been fixed and you can check it out below.
Check out our review of the series.
Plot Concept: When lightning strikes the prototype android BK-1, a new horror is unleashed on the world. The resulting monster, Braiking, begins taking over all other robots on Earth, setting them against their creators in a massive orgy of planet-wide destruction! With humanity helpless in the face of the new Neoroiders and their mechanical armies, mankind’s only hope may lie in the hands of Tetsuya Azuma, son of the creator of BK-1, who transfers his consciousness into an android body to become a Neoroider himself… the ultimate robot fighter: Casshan!
Now, together with his robot dog Flender and the beautiful Luna Uetsuki, the daughter of another scientist and wielder of the most robot-lethal gun on the planet, Casshan is on a mission to clear his father’s name, avenge his mother’s death, and save the Earth from the iron clutches of Buraiking! But things aren’t going to be easy, not when you’re three against thousands, and Buraiking has some shocking surprises in store that will rip Casshan’s world in two!
