| What are your thoughts on this show? PA Works handling a mecha series doesn't sound like a great combination but the director has done some decent works. |
| It's time you look inward and begin asking yourself the big question, "Who are you, and what do you want?" - Uncle Iroh |
| Not bad for a first time mecha of the studio. So far it's good, has decent potential but not quite sure why it's got a low score here in MAL... Imo it's really worth checking out |
| Yes, it is. One of the best anime of this season. Definitely worth checking out |
| why don't you just watch and judge it yourself personally it's one of the better mecha out there |
| It's most likely the AOTY for me. It truly is a hidden gem. |
| It's okay but nothing spectacular. So far it's been more of a comedy series with some pretty clear hints of future romance, but I assume the action/mecha aspects will have to get more attention over time. I have yet to see how it's anything out of the ordinary but that doesn't mean it's not diverting. The real question is whether, after seeing a couple episodes, you really want to commit to it for a 2-cour run. |
| The best thing so far about it is how the guy is trying to adapt to the modern days lol |
Xarkiesami said: why don't you just watch and judge it yourself personally it's one of the better mecha out there Pretty much this. Just see for yourself. In my opinion, this show is underrated as fuck and the MAL score is ridiculous to begin with. This might be the dark horse of the season, and so far, it's my favorite this season. Recent episode just proved it. It has some great balance between Comedy, SoL, Mecha and Action, great characters and interaction and great animation and visuals. What more can you ask? I think the 2-cour will do this show justice. But that's just my opinion. |

| honestly, boring af. too many cringeworthy moments. isn't able to keep me awake for more than 7 minutes. i mean, if you like mechs, flat characters, overused tropes and crappy cgi directing (even comet lucifer does better), then be my guest. |

Imo it's really worth checking out It got low score because it's mecha probably, MAL community tends to hate on new mecha stuff. Which is a shame since a lot of people just look at the score sadly and it's under 7 atm and deserves atleast over 7.

Well excuuuse my moefag self for having high expectations of a mecha produced by PA Works, made by a director who did work on EVA. |

| Everyone preferrence is different, that includes you. Many people think the anime is good doesn't mean you will think its good, so there is no need to take into account what the majority think. Watch it yourself and judge it whether it is worth to watch or not. |
| 1. Translation is bad, totally bad. If you don't know enough japanese, I would suggest you to wait for proper subs instead watching with gg usual shitsubs. 2. 3DCG is just awful, action scenes looks terrible, but in the other hand 2d scenes are beautiful, especially backgrounds and characters. 3. It's not typical shounen mecha (thanks God), so if you expecting something like this, then this Anime is not for you. I think it has pretty interesting story ( I don't like mecha anime), if not that terrible CG, I would be able to fully enjoy it. PS. Looking at you favlist and ratings in general, it's DEFINITELY NOT Anime for you. MagicalMahou said: i mean, if you like mechs, flat characters, overused tropes and crappy cgi directing (even comet lucifer does better), then be my guest. Wat? Comet Lucifer has 10 levels higher class of CG, mechas in some scenes looked almost like hand drawn. So I wouldn't say 'even' because Comet Lucifer had one of the best done CG in Anime history. I can't stand any 3DCG, but in Comet Lucifer it wasn't bother me for the first time in my life. Unfortunately Kuromukuro has crappy 3DGG on mechas and it's really hurting my eyes. Tenth said: Looking at your favorite list I'm not even sure why you watch this in the first place when it's clearly not for you. Why? I love slice of life series the most (with cgdct subgenre of course) , along with other dialogue based, romance drama and psychological anime. But I'm enjoying kuromukuro too. Only 3DCG is bothering me, because it is destroying whole esthetics in this show and looks like trash. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| It is definitely better than some other overrated crap (Kabaneri, Re:Zero) which is airing this season. But after the latest episode I think it might get worse regarding the story/plot. (I hope they won't do too much complicated stuff.) But characters are nice so far. |
| It's not everyday you got naked male MC instead of boobies in the first episode. Yes, it's worth it. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| It's too early to say. It certainly looks ambitious, but I think it's going to stand or fall based on the quality of its overall story, and so far we've only seen glimpses, it's playing a long game. Got me interested, though. |
| Yes. It's quite good. Don't let the first episode throw you off. |

Why would you even have high expectations of a show that's completely different from what the studio usually does? If anything, PA Works doing a mecha show is the first thing that put me off. So far it's probably the first PA Works show I actually enjoy. It's not that good, but it's entertaining, especially the parts about a Japanese medieval man trying to fit into modern society. And the actions scenes are okay, though the CGI is bad (RIP mecha). It's more SoL than action though. It is one of the best shows this season though, but that rarely means much. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| it was an enjoyable show to me so far but i don't know about other people. it contains many 3D/CGI scene so i doubt people will like it but imo, it's worth to watch :D the story is pretty good. |
 |
| i have no idea why the score is so low (by MAL standards) but this is easily a top 3 anime of the season. definitely better than jjba, magi and boku no hero academia, |
| It has good art and the cg blends ok. Although it is pretty meh. Though I'm pretty averse to the mecha genre so there's that. |
BAKAwatcher said: I have one question about this series, in the series description it says "In the summer of 2016, a lone samurai once again awakens." is this samurai one that was frozen in time and wakes up now and sees all this new tech, or something else? Yes. That is correct. |
| We're halfway through the season, currently its PTW for me but is it worth my time? 6.93 looks like it doesn't look good/meh...? |

OppaiSugoi said: We're halfway through the season, currently its PTW for me but is it worth my time? 6.93 looks like it doesn't look good/meh...? Mecha anime usually doesn't have a high score while it's airing (well sometimes even afterwards it's still bad), but the people who are watching it weekly and commenting in the episode discussion threads enjoy it. I like the humor, probably the funniest PA Works anime. So far it's probably 75-80% slice of life and 15-20% actual mecha action and plot. But the slice of life parts don't feel useless or anything, I think the anime is good at blending the two elements of SoL and mecha. The character interaction between the two main is really refreshing as well. The best part though has to be the amount of animation actually happening. Not talking about big movements or sakuga, but how natural the movements of the characters are, even when it's just walking. Also, the facial expressions are so diverse. I'd say it's definitely worth a try, watch maybe at least until episode 6 or 7 to gauge if you want to drop it. Episode 6, the plot is beginning to unveil, episode 7 is probably my favorite episode so far :> |
| It's on Netflix now so I'll be watching it soon. I'm not sure why it's so badly rated, I watched the trailer and honestly I think it looks pretty good! From what it seems like people are saying here is that it's badly underrated for whatever reason. I look forward to watching it. |
| @LoomyTheBrew Pretty standard story-wise, nothing to cry about since it's better done and looks better than the average recent anime. I really don't understand how this can be under 7, based on what I understood from MAL displayed score, it should be between 7.5 and 8.5. (in other words, a recent and perfectly fine but not outstanding anime) |

I guess this anime just got unlucky, but maybe when it finishes people will have better thoughts about it. I'll be watching the first episode soon |
