Anyone know anything about this movie?

(other than it's Japanese and looks like the love child of Terry Gilliam and apocolypic anime)

The official website can be found at http://casshern.com/; unfortunately, it seems to be entirely in Japanese, one of the many languages I lack fluency in.

I think you’ve pegged it. From this site…

Made for 5 billion yen, “Casshern” tries to address the idealistic question proposed in Shakespear’s “Hamlet” (Why do people fight with each other?) It is also a continuation of the Japanese animation, “Shinzou Ningen Casshern” which was broadcasted back in 1973. A riot occurs within the robots that were made to clean up environmental pollution. As a result, a professor of robotic engineering revised his “son” Casshern to calm the riot.

One of the other plot summeries makes it sound a little like the plot of the video game Oni.

All I know is Casshern is directed by the husband of my favorite J-Pop Star, Utada Hikaru. His videos for her are insanely gorgeous and so are the clips of Casshern that I’ve seen, and I’m dying to watch it.
