Singapore-based venture studio Kasagi Labo announced a new project tentatively titled Casshan 2045 at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The reimagining of Tatsunoko Production's classic 1973 anime Shinzō Ningen Casshan features original character design concepts by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano.
The original Shinzō Ningen Casshan anime first aired in Japan in 1973, and the franchise has since seen several remakes, including a 1993 OVA, a 2004 live-action film, and the 2008 series Casshern Sins. Kasagi Labo's Casshan 2045 is the first version to be produced by a Singapore-based studio, and the involvement of Yoshitaka Amano for character design concepts gives the project a distinct visual pedigree. The announcement was made during the studio's panel at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
