Is the Anime Really Finished?#
When asking “Is the anime finished?”, the answer depends on whether you are looking at individual entries or the franchise as a whole.
While the original 1973 series reached its conclusion in 1974, and subsequent remakes have their own arcs, the Casshan universe continues to evolve. Most notably, news has emerged regarding a New Casshan 2045 Project announced by Singapore’s Studio Kasagi Labo, slated for 2026. This means that while you can find satisfying conclusions in the existing series, the overall story of Casshan is ongoing.
