Watchseries; Looked exciting from the trailer. The English voice acting for the main character is so bad you'll want to watch in Japanese with subtitles instead. The story is boring, not sure what else to say about it. There isn't anything interesting enough to dissect or interpret. Very cliche.

Yasuke watchseries. This anime could've been a 7 or 8 out of 10 but I give it a 2. Literally nothing was REALLY about Yasuke BECOMING the legendary black samurai. It was already established. Why? Him becoming the LEGENDARY BLACK SAMURAI is wayyyyyyy more interesting than whatever the actual plot is. The themes they could've touched on with prejudice and so many serious tones this series could've had. Instead, it's just a generic fantasy story with magic that is never explained and robots. Why are there robots? His backstory was told every now and then as a flashback, but that was even more interesting than the actual plot.

The only good things this show had to offer was:

The animation
The score

MAPPA studio's and Flying Lotus really pulled through, but the story did nothing. It didn't even make sense. A waste of time, 2/10.

I decided to watch this with the hope it would hold me over until Castlevania S4 comes out in a couple of weeks. Despite its three-hour duration, I should have trusted my instincts and quit after the third episode instead of trudging my way through the second half just to see how it ends. It's so disjointed that it felt like there was an episode missing between the fourth and fifth instalment. Solid animation can't distract you from bland voice acting and lazy script.

Okay so this anime sounded soo good when i forst heard about it. But it is the worst thing ive seen all year. There is no substance, no themes, no interesting chracters, nothing. And ot gives you a samurai story with pourly executed sci-fi elements and bad writing. The whole story is incredibly predictable and uninteresting. And the worst part is the ex-machina girl that saves the day whenever someone is in trouble with her unexplained magic powers.

There are a few things that are good. The soundtrack by flying lotus is incredible and the animation is good. The flashbacks are kinda interesting and thats about it. Very bad and dissapointing.

I was pretty excited to watch this show, especially after the intro scene with a Demon army, superpowers, mechanicals soldiers and good fights.

Then, I lost interest after 3 episodes. The story id really bland, uninteresting and predictable. You have nice character design and potential great character developpement, but eventually, it's just to show off and tick cases.

That's not the first "international" anime-like series from Netflix and they're all very disappointing. But I guess Netflix is more interested in mass producing easily watched-easily forgotten series, rather than quality and long-term series.

I was excited to see the historical story of Yasuke... But the first episode immediately started off with mechs and magic, which was not explained? Then there are parts which look historical, so when it cuts between the robots and historical stuff it feels like watching 2 animes accidentally run through a blender.

Can't watch this past ep 1, super wasted potential.

Only giving a 1 point extra because the main character is pretty cool, I just wish it was completely about him...
