Rob A @RT51178857 Jul 31, 2025 Not a lot of smart people reviewing here. At least this says it's a fantasy about Yasuke, and not a true telling(Looking at you, Ubisoft). No one really knows about him, other than he was retained by Oda Nubanaga, despite what some idiots might say. I've enjoyed it. It has a nice Samurai Champloo feel, with the music blending well with the themes. It's no worse than any other anime of its type, and is entertaining. I t isn't overbearing with its themes, and portrays Yasuke as a flawed hero, not as a superman, relying on his skills and knowledge. I'm digging it; and maybe the agenda-heavy review bombers could lighten up a bit. See more Mr. B @Uijgfcc Jan 19, 2025 One of the biggest wastes of a budget and a story I have ever seen. Incompetence and short-cutting corners leads what could've been an anime epic about a legendary samurai into a jarring mismatch of the most watered-down paint by numbers story you could ever imagine and the overpopulation of too many ideas and no idea what to do with them. Combine this absolute inability to make an interesting story about a preexisting and already interesting story with some of the worst dialog and plot writing that has existed in the modern era and you have Yasuke. This show literally manages to writes itself into a corner within 3 episodes (circling around leaving the village) and outright lies to itself, its' characters, and its' audience multiple times to try and poorly get out of it. Parts of the animation are pretty good, parts of the performances aren't entirely terrible. Save yourself the time and skip this disgrace to a legend.

The Music Is Perfection, With The Voice Cast. Great Bloody Action Scenes. I Do Recommend It But Don't Expect The Level Of Demon Slayer Quality Level Anime...

Overall, a good show that I recommend watching. 79% See more Nov 26, 2021 Honestly, as a so called black man living in america, I couldn't finished watching this. Been watching anime for a long time and seeing an actual black male protagonist with native features was something I've always wanted to see happen. But of course, with a black male protagonist that's outside the norm of the negative stereotypical roles dealing with gangs and crime, etc, there's always a catch. A lot of people complained about the magic, robots and what not, but that didn't bother me as much. But there was other certain elements they love to add when it comes to my people as if we were the originators of it. Though Yasuke wasn't the one being use regarding this certain element(THANK GOD!!!), it still bothered me. Now it makes sense why they decided not to go with a more accurate historic story but with magic and robots, just so they can also have an excuse to add this other element. Was really looking forward to this but now just really disappointed in the direction they decided to go with this.
