Shin Samurai-den Yaiba Episode 1 Discussion

good animation but censored all the perverted gag scenes as expected.
sasuga modern japan.

@GangsterCat lol they replaced the bath scene with a changing room one. I say its a good replacement and still funny.

frontrunner for anime of the year

Fire Force? Pfft, get that out my face. Wind Breaker? HAHAHAHAH, no. A remake of a almost FOURTY year old manga getting blessed with one of the most stacked team in recent memory thanks to everyone's favorite WIT? Uh, A MILLION TIMES FUCK YES. No cause, HOLY SHIT, WHAT WAS THAT OPENER MAN?!??! Just flexing the fact that it's the best animated show of the season for no reason lmao. Though ofc, the question always arises when shows like this get this king treatment... does it deserve it? Let's see, ofc.

Off the bat though, this clearly ain't your typical shounen.. I mean, for starters, OUR MAIN CHARACTER'S DAD IS STILL ALIVE... AND IS PRESENT IN HIS LIFE AS WE SPEAK. That's not it though, instead of bogus powerups, looks like we got ourselves a typical samurai shounen... if that wasn't already clear by the title btw lol. Premise is a bit wacky, I mean the way we kick start the plot is by Yaiba and his dad getting shipped off to Japan on accident... lol.

But yeah, on the motherland Yaiba's dad meetups with one of his past rivals and just barges into his house like it's nothing, and just allows his son to beat the fuck out of one his students... as he proceeds to get drunk LOL. And yeah, I take back what I said about his dad, dude's a certified deadbeat and is NO better than your typical shounen dad. Dude dropped Yaiba off at his rival's house, got drunk... and next day he's gone off to "go train"... xD

Which ofc, leads us to the school where our the REAL plot will start at I'm assuming, with Yaiba meeting that bald dude, who, take a guess... hmm, will probably his rival idk, just a guess lol.

Seriously man, something about this show just makes me feel like a kid again turning on the TV in the middle of the day to watch this... and hey, I'M ALL FOR IT. So much love is put into this, you can see it in every frame. I love it already man. I'll say it, anime of the season... yes, ANIME OF THE SEASON IS INCOMING WITH THIS ONE.

P.S. God, that OP is so fucking beautiful man... I don't see anything touching it.

22 years since the debut of studio Pastel's original anime in Spring 1993 (and 26 of the original manga), one of AniManga's most famous mangaka, Gosho Aoyama, is back with another one of his works, the one that preceded the juggernaut that would be Detective Conan: Wit Studio's remake of Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba a.k.a Legendary Brave Swordsman Yaiba.

What a time to be alive watching both Yaiba and Detective Conan on ytv/NTV after a very long time.

Blue Encount's OP is great, nonetheless.

The story of samurai Yaiba Kurogane alongside his father Kenjuro and their tiger friend Kagetora while dealing with a gorilla menace in the jungle, only to be mysteriously transported to Tokyo in a crate full of bananas while in retreat.

In Tokyo, Sayaka Mine awaiting her father Raizo's return from the Asia Kendo Championship, gets a surprise seeing his eternal rival of Kenjuro alongside his son Yaiba, seeing a girl for the first time. Alongside Kagetora, they all are transported to the Sayaka home where they're greeted by their grandmother Fuji a.k.a Goinkyo, it certainly is a samurai's meeting. And allowing Yaiba to stay at the place through challenging Muto, the little kid sure fights different, but he's been properly trained by his father alright to defeat Muto with such tremendous force and instinct.

But if anything, Yaiba is quite the unhinged village kid not understanding the ways of the modern world, much to Sayaka's chagrin to tease him a bit. Of course, things in school are unlike his knowledge, and his naiveity only breds worse for Sayaka, even going into her when she's changing into her dojo outfit lols. But the cheek to take on the demon that is the gifted high school swordsman that is Takeshi Onimaru, that's the beginning of their lifelong rivalry, for better or for worse.

Otoha's ED is calm and collected, but good as well.

What a start for Wit Studio in the resurgence of remakes (barring The One Piece coming soon). Yaiba will be lots of fun to revisit in its various source material mediums.

kanada school of animation is so full of life but too bad only studio trigger does this kind of sakuga regularly now a days

but kameda supremacy is here with yaiba https://myanimelist.net/people/10635/Yoshimichi_Kameda

inb4 carried by animation or mid plot complains

@IzanaSolos Is there a way I can block your comments? Somehow even when you're being positive, you're still incredibly draining to be around.

Is this like a remake of old anime? The style is kinda old school but WIT animate this beautifully.

Is it worth the watch?

@Ravarae So far, so good, I'd say yes! Especially as WIT is in charge of it.

@Ravarae yes its a remake and adaptation of an 80s manga. Worth watching and it will get more serious later on

This one was already on my watchlist, and if I’m not mistaken, it’s also by the same author as Detective Conan, Kaito, and Lupin. Super solid debut, just like the trailer promised — and on top of that, the production quality is clearly above average.
I didn’t watch the original, but I was really curious to check out this remake. It has that classic 80/90s shounen vibe, which is a big plus!
But only 10k members on MAL is really low

This feels like an old saturday morning cartoon. Bright colors, animals with big smiles, exaggerated facial expressions and an overall child-like artstyle.

Even tough it has some real smooth and energetic animation, I kinda felt indifferent while watching, it didn't hook me at all. The humor feels outdated, too.

I hope it gets a little darker and mature in future episodes. But right now, there are no real hints that it will.
