This bizarre little shonen fighting series was my first anime, aside from a few episodes of Eureka 7, (which I quickly found that I despise.) It features absolutely beautiful animation, very little to no obvious CGI, and mostly terrific voice acting.
To be brutally honest, there's no plot, but each situation the robot Casshern finds himself in in the post-apocalyptic landscape has a kind of tragic beauty to it. He encounters dying robots, dying humans, all falling victim to a bizarre plague, the "ruin."
Special mention goes to the shrill but somehow endearing Moë girl, Ringo, her human caretaker, and the robot who believes that she can bring hope by forging a gigantic bell and ringing it. Characters like these make it an intensely human show, considering it's about robots.
Sins redeems itself fairly well.
