I'm only six episodes in, but I do like the fight scenes. They really try to make Casshan look equal parts strong, agile, and cunning and despite some flaws in the animation, they really pull it off. I've never seen the '70s Spider-Man cartoon, but seeing as how he's supposed to have similar traits, I wonder how well the two compare. I haven't picked up on the travelogue aspect, but I will say that I think their choice for aesthetics is very interesting. Everything from the architecture to the design of the robots to the clothing the extras where all really have an early 1900s Eastern Europe vibe going for them. It's an interesting choice.
