The genesis of Tatsunoko Production’s “Shinzō Ningen Casshan” dates back to its debut in Japan in 1973.
This dynamic tale has seen various adaptations over the years, including the 1993 release of the animated video remake, “Casshan: Robot Hunter,” and the 2004 live-action film remake helmed by Kazuaki Kiriya. In North America, both Streamline Pictures and ADV Films played a role in bringing “Casshan: Robot Hunter” to audiences, while Go Fish Pictures spearheaded the release of the live-action cinematic rendition.
The saga continued with the 2008 release of the anime’s latest incarnation, “Casshern Sins.” Funimation contributed to the global fandom by streaming the anime with English subtitles and subsequently releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD within North America.
Satoshi Shiki, recognized for works such as “XBlade,” “XBlade Cross,” and “Daphne in the Brilliant Blue,” embarked on the journey of “Akuma Kōjo” (Demon Princess), a manga adaptation of Biyori Harunohi’s original narrative. This captivating tale found its home in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in May 2022.
Shiki’s creative journey also encompassed “Attack on Titan: Before the Fall,” with the manga concluding in March 2019.
