This weeks episode of Casshern Sins was an all around beautiful experience, and today i plan to talk about just one of the reasons that made this episode what it is — the unbelievably amazing scenery in this episode. The background shots in this episode really capture the loneliness aspect that the life of female character of the week Nica has been living during her time in this underground sanctuary. Here are shots of the talked about scenery (shame about the size, though it’s the only way i can fit the full image on this page).
Such beautiful pieces of art, seriously. I noticed a few of these shots in last weeks preview, and knew straight away that we’d be in for a treat, though i never expected just how much i’d be in awe during this episode. I had to watch this episode twice yesterday because i just couldn’t focus on the dialogue at all (not that there’s much anyway).
With the story being set in an barren and dark dystopian world, i say it’s about we’re given such scenery that’s able to express the state that the world is in at the moment.. I mean sure we’ve been having the episodic stories that do just that each week, though the locations (apart from a few) have just shown wastelands of complete nothingness.
I truly do hope we see more scenery like this in future episodes. There is just so much they could show in this series.
