I'm seeing a lot of hate for this show and I don't really understand why. Did you think by seeing Yasuke's name it was going to be a by the book historical drama? There is literally giant mecha and psychic powers in the trailer. I would say take it in the same vain as Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

I am bias because of my love of Flying Lotus' music because I've been listening to him since 2010. So I can see how some people don't like the music. This was an enjoyable watch. While I felt some of the dialogue could of used some work. It ... felt like a love letter to a lot of anime tropes from an American perspective.

I think there was potential there but, this has to be one of the most frustrating things I have ever had to watch. The pacing is so off-kilter. They try to cram so much exposition into a small amount of time. I haven't read the source material but I have to imagine the pacing is better. It had an interesting premise but with no follow-through. Perhaps if it had 24 episodes it could of been better. One positive about the show is the art. The character design is a plus Gamon's design is great. I feel like big-tit chick Ryouka is sort of bad but ... I think that is what they were going for. Sort of a grotesque parody of anime chicks. The pacing just left little room for character development. I would like to know their motivations rather than just a bland character description. Overall, it was just a struggle to get through. Quite frustrating. I think maybe if the characters would've had better pacing and exploration into their psyche. The story would have had been better. 5/10.

It is one of the most classic stories in the western canon. Adapted into Japanese anime. I have seen multiple versions of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' this is the best one in my opinion. The art direction and animation is perfect. Audio design and character design is flawless in every aspect. One of the most underrated shows in my opinion. I loved every part of this show. The dynamic between the characters is perfect. For real it is wonderful. The space setting adds something to it that changes how the dynamic of the story plays out. It is really difficult to convey but how ... it does but it makes an addition to the classic tale that makes it fresh. Check it out friendos.

Who would be the Anti-Christ in these times & could the son of the devil actually compete with evil in modern times? This series asks this question and reviews it thoroughly showing the capacity for evil within humanity. This show sticks very closely to reality imagine if you were watching a regular drama but just animated pretty similar. That's not to say the animation isn't great because it does capture a very realistic style. Which from what I've seen from the manga is what that is going for as well. If you're in for a slow burn with I would totally recommend this. I ... think would compare to the 'The Wire' in that it's worth sticking through the slow parts for the deep character developments and complex morality issues. Johan, Tenma, and Nina are all extremely compelling characters.
