Summary

A fifty-year war between the Great Eastern Federation and Europa has left Mother Earth a beaten-up wasteland. Mankind's vast arsenal of technological weapons—biological, chemical, and nuclear—is the culprit, but the true blame goes to the dehumanized souls pushing the buttons. Fittingly, many of mankind's upper crust citizens suffer from a variety of synthetically-produced postwar maladies. The answer to their problems: more technology, specifically the "neo cell" project from Professor Azuma (Akira Terao) who is creating a big genetic swimming pool to manufacture replacement body parts. But things go wrong, the neo cell project spawns mutants who literally crawl out of genetic sludge to claim their place in the brave new world. The problem: man isn't too happy about that, and puts them down with machine guns and other assorted weaponry. The result: hurt feelings and ill will, as the surviving mutants name themselves "Neo Sapiens", and declare war on their creators/oppressors. Led by the white haired Burai (Toshiaki Karasawa), the Neo Sapiens decide they must cleanse the earth of human beings, and manufacture an army of CG robots to do their bidding. But there is a hope for mankind: Tetsuya Azuma (Yusuke Iseya), son of Professor Azuma, and a soldier who perished while fighting for the Great Eastern Federation. Thanks to the neo cell project, Tetsuya is reborn with a suit of white battle armor and newly acquired superhuman skills, he can now fight for mankind as Casshern!
