""Musician Flying Lotus teased on Twitter on Thursday that the six episodes of LeSean Thomas and MAPPA's Yasuke anime serve as an "introduction to this world." He added, "We have big plans for Yasuke. It's just the beginning.""

Perhaps this was the reason why they added so many weird ideas and genres together and rushed through the story for that first season. Since they wanted to give us a quick glance into the world to set us up for a "Yasuke Cinematic Universe" of some kind.

I guess Netflix must have gotten a good amount of viewership and buzz for the show if they are confident in making more anime about Yasuke. Though the reception here on MAL has been far from positive.

I think this could turn out well, but they just need to make sure they properly set up the world building and make sure not to rush through future installments. Give them time to breathe. In regards to the historical aspect, well, that shipped has already sailed, but perhaps they can still incorporate other historical people and events in there.

What do you think this entails? Just sequels based around Yasuke or perhaps also handing the torch to other characters to be the lead? Do you see this as a wise move?

I'm really surprised they are making it into a franchise considering the reception from the viewers was so negative even outside of Mal.Now this news is giving me the motivation to watch Yasuke because of the hate it was getting I wasn't having the motivation but now I do.Hope they fill out all the plot holes in the upcoming sequels.Thank you for the news.

Probably gonna be as bad as the first 6 eps. If the build up is this bad, the main plot points will be even worse.

This thing really needs to be shut down before it becomes a thing, I really don't wish for another trash Netflix anime that has budget behind it.

I'd watch it if they turn it into Isekai summoning where Yasuke turns younger via magic and is paired into a romantic relationship with an anime girl that looks like an European blondey in a fantasy kingdom, lol. There he will use his sword skills to help save the world from your typical Demon King antagonist. We have never seen an Isekai with a Black lead before, so what do you guys think of this idea ? :) I'd like this to happen as Saki is too boring to serve as female co-lead as we haven't seen any meaningful character development for her, so they need to change the heroine to another that's more interesting and charismatic in the next season for it to work as a viable long-running franchise. Something like Ikki and Stella from Chivalry of a Failed Knight.

POV : It’s 2031, and Yasuke is recognised as a sovereign state by the UN. With all its citizens required to wear masks of Yasuke using superglue, as well as their being Yasuke themed:
- Clothes (Underwear in particular)
- Wallpapers (Inside and outside the house)
- Street Decorations
- Food & Drink
And lots more..

If there's more, I can't say I'm looking forward to it but I'm honestly quite surprised they aren't gonna happily settle with just the usual 6-12 like some other netflix stuff does. Hopefully they can manage to deliver
