i was really surprised to find out that mappa will be producing this, they've really been insane lately with the amount of high quality stuff that they're releasing. it's pretty great that they'll be making it though, it's definitely something to look forward to and the concept seems very interesting as well.

It don't get why MAL isn't adding details to this anime. It isn't even approved yet. Maybe it doesn't count as an anime as it's directed by a western guy but the actual animation is done by Japanese staff so what the hell?

no that shouldn't be the case, mappa is producing it and it'll probably be released on netflix japan so there most likely aren't any problems with it qualyfing as an anime. mal database mods just slow

I thought this was going to be like Samurai Champloo.... but the whole "all clash in a Japan of magic and mechs" is just disappointing. This might end up being a mess of a series to be honest.

I will still give it a try since it is only 6 episodes.

I mean it's anime, if they wanted to be historically accurate live action is a better medium to display that, what's the point of it being animated if there just going to make something that would be better conveyed through real actors.

Yes, mechs and magic are both two things that are best show through animation. As long as it makes sense it doesn't matter if it's historically accurate or not.

The assumption that with mechs and magic added there won't be anything meaningful from the story is pretty stupid. Mechs an magic could serve as a great way to make the fights more interesting, while still conveying powerful messages and themes.

I personally disagree, as I don't like magic elements in the historical setting. But that's not my point, you misunderstood pretty much everything I said.

Mark my words, this show will suck ass. Netflix can fuck up anything and everything (except Great Pretender that one doesn't count). Really wish MAPPA didn't agree to work with them. But I'd be more than glad to see a good anime. It's sad that this isn't gonna be one.

That MAPPA agreed to work with Netflix is actually a good thing cuz it will increase the possibility of better Netflix OG anime lol. Let's just wait the show to be released instead of trash-talking it before it's released, cuz your post may be embarrassing if it turns out to be (surprisingly) good.

This is my most anticipated anime of this year. Finally, more anime with black characters depicted respectfully, with a promising voice cast and FLYING LOTUS on the soundtrack. Mappa really gets all the best anime.

Really excited for this, hopefully it lives up to my expectations.

I also can't wait to see racist alt-right assholes claim that this is "SJW propaganda" because the MC is black, despite the fact that the real life Yasuke was black.

that voice acting cast is looking grim, only recognizable one being Eri Kitamura; don’t know how the dub casting is since I don’t watch dub but maybe that’s somewhat decent?

Haters gonna Hate!

about 80% good netflix adaptations are.

Above all, Devilman Crybaby, Dorohedoro, Aggretsuko, BNA, Beastars, B: The Beginning, Kengan Ashura and the new Godzilla Singular Point

The problem is they likely can't think of much content for the plot if they make it 12 episodes unless if there are Romcom and SOL elements in it but with the serious art style don't expect to see any Moe cute anime girls here lusting for Yasuke, LOL.

Neo Yokio
Cannon Busters
High-rise Invasion
Ultraman
Kengan Ashura isn't even that good
Beastars is a furry fuck-fest no one will give a shit about after season 2
Godzilla Singular Point isn't fully out so you can't rate it but i suppose a dumbass like you wouldn't know that
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY FUCKED GOKUSHUFUDOU

ahahahahahahah
typical comment of a toxic hater who has no knowledge to be objective.

Because you answer calling him dumbass, it is obvious that you are dumbass.
On the other hand, there are good reviews that speak for me, but i suppose a dumbass like you wouldn't know that.

"BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY FUCKED GOKUSHUFUDOU"

with second series on the way, the problem is you.

Beastars with score 8.6. evidently it interests many.
Another proof that you are a dumbess

Although high on score, based on statistics Beastars at best has one more season to come before it's fanbase dies out.

And Gokushufudou is rated 6.9. Just because there is a second season doesn't mean it's good.

Neo Yokio
Cannon Busters
High-rise Invasion
Ultraman
Kengan Ashura isn't even that good
Godzilla Singular Point
(you ignored these too)

But credit will be given when it's due. I guess Devilman Crybaby, Dorohedoro and Aggretsuko were pretty cool.

And half of your reply was you calling me a dumbess. *dumbass btw that last one.

What's the source of this? It says "other"? And from Google I found only that there was a historical black guy that served as Nobunaga's bodyguard. So I guess the story is actually original and just using some historic person as base idea?

MAPPA usually adapts boring stuff but is better at original things. And I like samurai. And it does not seem to have a lot of episodes. So I might give it a try.

But: The thing about the mechs bugs me a bit. They took a good/potentially interesting setting ... and are probably going to ruin it by making some hodgepodge when forcing the mecha stuff into it. That should not really be there.
