I bought the Japanese film "Casshern" at MegaCon.
Simply put, easily one of the top five films of all time, I kid you not!
Do whatever it takes, you need to see this.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.
Every New Day - On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy
Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

Yes, it was a very interesting trailer. I imagine it would have been even more interesting if I could have understood what they were talking about.
Care to fill us in on the plot, Alberto? All I got from the trailer was some sort of political coup, something about mechas, an upper income family (perhaps royal family), and some guy who seems to be a super hero of some sort.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

The first thing you must realize about Casshern: It's very hard to follow.
Basically, Professor Azuma is working on a way to give us longer lives.
During this time, a war is going on with Eurasia. Professor Azuma's son, Tetsuya, decides to go fight in the war.
Tetsuya promises Luna that he will marry her when he returns.
Tetsuya is killed in the war, and the "neo-cells" which are supposed to give us longer lives unleash these weird clone-esque people. Eventually robots attack and such.
As I said, it's hard to follow. It has a habit of showing you one scene, then later showing you the same scene, but with a few extra shots, to totally change what you had originally assumed was happening. Tetsuya dies, but is still on earth sort of like a ghost.
I can't really say much more without spoiling all of the cool parts.
Trust me, amazing film...if you can understand it.

I looks like its a steampunk/martial arts/mecha movie. The trailer looked good. Is it going to come to Western cinemas or at least DVD?

It's actually more drama than anything.
Rumours have circulated that Casshern will be released theatrically in the US. I got my DVD at MegaCon, and I'm sure you could find it on Bittorrent.

So is this even out on DVD? If Netflix gets it, I'll see it.

The fights are mostly just between robots. The only bloody scene is the swordfight between Tetsuya and Barashin. It's not overly violent. I'd give it a PG-13. Tetsuya becomes a bit bloody when he's damaged and such. Overall, nothing too bad.

Nice...the trailer looks awesome. I hope my local anime rental place will carry it cause I think I might like it.

Assuming that you enjoy good movies, you'll probably like it.

I forgot to mention, Casshern has some pretty brutal war scenes. None of the scenes are bloody, just dark.
Overall, I'd still say the film is about PG-13.
