History Anime / NeoHumanCasshern

* TheAtoner: Casshern when humans find that he is an android also and don't trust him. His only human friends is Luna.

* YourSizeMayVary / OffModel: Luna's magnetic gun varies its size between something like a semi-automatic rifle to a handgun able to fit inside a compartment in Casshern's calf.

* TheComputerIsYourFriend: Buraiking Boss was programmed to protect the Earth's ecosystem. Unfortunately he determined the best way to do so was to enslave and/or eradicate humanity.

* EnergyWeapon: Casshern most powerful attack. He fires a concentrated yellow beam of solar energy which creates a powerful explosion upon contact.

* JetPack: In the original, Casshern mostly used the twin pistols on his hips as one of these; other adaptations make them into more straight examples of this trope.

* PinkMeansFeminine: Luna wear always a pink dress with a really short skirt.

* WeCanRebuildHim: Done to ''the dog,'' whose ensuing badassitude led Tetsuya to think "maybe doing the same to a human can level the playing field." Unlike most series like this, Tetsuya's upgrade was not an EmergencyTransformation, but quite a sacrifice - he chose to exchange his human body for a mechanical one because he saw it as the only way to fight back.

* In 2018, Cassiern was one of several Tatsunoko heroes in the CrisisCrossover, ''Infini-T Force''.

* PinkMeansFeminine: Luna wear always a pink dress with a really DangerouslyShortSkirt.

* RobotDog: Friender is one of best example of the trope.

* SpiritualSuccessor/ SpiritualAdaptation : If you want to play a game about this anime, go no further than ''VideoGame/MegaMan''. You play as the robot son[[note]]Unlike Casshern, though. Mega Man, AKA: Rock, was a robot to begin with; he's really more like ''[[Anime/AstroBoy Tetsuwan Atom / Astro Boy]]'' than Casshern.[[/note]] of a scientist, who must fight against an evil doctor and his army of robots, with your robot dog (beginning with the third game), your sister and your (sometimes bad, sometimes good) prototype brother.

* YourSizeMayVary / OffModel: Luna's magnetic gun varies its size between something like a semi-automatic rifle to a handgun able to fit inside a compartiment in Cassern's calf.

* 2008 brought another reboot called ''Anime/CasshernSins'', which has its own page. This incarnation {{Retool}}s everything about the franchise except the BroadStrokes of the character designs and Braiking Boss conquering humanity, and then veers off to examine the nature of life, mortality, and redemption -- while providing the audience with beautifully animated robotic dismemberment in the process.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Casshern most powerful attack. He fires a concentrated yellow beam of solar energy which creates a powerful explosion upon contact.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Subverted. Braiking Boss and his troops are definitely cruel and evil. However Tetsuya tells everybody he meets that not all robots are bad.

* ManInWhite: Casshern. He has a full body white, skin tight suit. He is and android, so this is his only look.

* ABoyAndHisX: Casshan and Friender.

* DiesWideOpen: Surprisingly common for an early-70s anime series. If someone dies onscreen, their eyes will be open.
