Opon starting the Casshern Sins series, Yasuko was well informed of the Casshern Franchise. She believes that Casshern Sins is more of a "re-animation" then a remake, differing in style, themes, premise and plot. Yasuko wrote the Casshern Sins story as a completley different series then the original looking to say "forget that story, this one's better". She worked with Director Shigeyasu Yamauchi to animate and produce Casshern Sins through Madhouse, Tatsunoko, Hakuhodo DY Media Partners, Showgate, Geneon Universal, Madhouse and FUNimation Entertainment, from 2008-2010.
