This show was a HUGE disappointment to say the LEAST. Feudal Era Japan mixed with Mech robots, mutants, demons, and a little girl with some unknown ethereal power that never get explained.....now. please. tell me if NONE of that sound confusing. AT ALL. The show has so many mixed-genres in it, the whole time, your like “Ok... where is the backstory for any of these random genres/characters?” THE WHOLE PLOT IS A MESS. No Back Stories, a Choppy-Rushed- Story Line, and horrible character development and animation. If you were expecting a show like AFRO SAMURAI or SAMURAI CHAMPLOO, you are in for a sorry disappointment. The only reason I am giving this 1 star is for the music. Thunder Cat and Flying Lotus were AMAZING. Don’t bother watching. 1/10
Personal rant in detail: if you’re going to make a black samurai show, don’t point out the fact that he’s black just for a, “yay look at me, I made a black samurai show, did I mention, he’s black?”
In the moments when the writer had a clear opportunity to give yassan any moment of pride or strength (let alone by being a fudging samurai) they ripped that away by creating yassan to be a quite pushover. Not even speaking up for himself, or even the slightest ego boastering as a badass in the most essential moments of the show. They did yassan dirty. He had so much rich potential.
Also, I feel like every modern day anime tries to get into the “3D” animation trend because they are trying to save money on animation cost. 3D ANIMATION LOOKS BAD. STOP endorsing 3D animation NETFLIX.
