Rob A @RT51178857 Jul 31 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 01/19/2025 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. See more Julian F @RT35073772 05/15/2024 I came in with pretty high expectation, then it all went downhill from there. The characters are generic and flat, the writing is inconsistent and it feels like the overall vision was thrown across the table multiple times. The story key moments are highly predictable and it was just all... not interesting. The pretty art did not help. Yasuke could literally be replaced by any generic protagonist and it would have all been the same. It starts out pretty decently with beats that keeps you at your seat, but the show quickly dwindles down into generic slop of boring tropes and got even worse with the nonsensical final arc. I don't recommend wasting your time watching this. See more Christopher P @RT33831528 12/03/2023 I was super excited for this show and they went with some future, magic bullshit. Very disappointing See more Y V @RT91525642 09/12/2022 It's hard to find a great show like this nowadays. It's a little rushed and not a lot of time for the characters to develop but great touching plot blend with some history, some nowadays issues and connection between the characters. If you like different, funny, weird, aggressive but emotional this is a show for you. See more LacosteTK T @LacosteTK 03/07/2022 Yasuke Has a Great Animation, The Writing Is Fine, It Felt Short And Rushed, Could've Had So Much To Explore And Themes That Are Timeless. 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... See more Read all reviews
