Casshern Sins (キャシャーン Sins, Kyashān Sins?) is a remake of the classic anime series Neo-Human Casshern, produced by Tatsunoko Productions and animated by Madhouse, which premiered in Japan on October 1, 2008.

The series has been remade, completely discarding the continuity presented in the original Neo-Human Casshern anime series, in which Casshern was a cybernetic superhero battling the evil robotic forces of Braiking Boss in a post-apocalyptic Earth. Instead, in Casshern Sins, Casshern is presented as a cyborg subordinate of Braiking Boss who was ordered to assassinate the savior of mankind, and has thus doomed the Earth to ruin.

A manga adaptation has also been announced, and is currently set to be serialized in Jive's Monthly Comic Rush Magazine.
