With Sentai Filmworks set to release the Casshan complete collection this week, they’re working through The Anime Network to get the series up on Hulu. This is one of those aspects that works well since Casshan tends to be a bit more known than a lot of other shows due to its age and the old school anime fans out there. It also doesn’t hurt that it looks a lot like a number of other TOHO series from the 70′s, which will get folks to check it out. The series, which ran for thirty-five episodes, only has the first episode up at the moment but it will work for Hulu Plus members to stream to their TV or digital device.
Plot concept: When lightning strikes the prototype android BK-1, the monster Braiking Boss begins to control all robots on Earth. Mankind’s only hope is in the hands of Tetsuya Azuma who transfers his consciousness to an android to become the ultimate robot fighter: Casshan! With his robot dog Flender, and Luna Kozuki, they must save Earth from the Braiking Boss and the Neoroider mechanical army. It’s the ultimate blast from the past as the battle for the future pits the good bots against the bad in CASSHAN!
