Never would've thought I'd see one of my uncles' name in a manga/anime, let alone as the main character's name lol.

Referencing Turks? Makes me happy. On my PTW.

> Zağanos Zehir.
This dude's name literally means poison. Alright

This manga has been going on since 2007?! Woah. A tiny bit surprising that it gets an adaption now. Not complaining though!

Love the political and mind games in the manga, i hope they depict that part well.

As a fan of Mappa, I'll watch almost anything they dish out, I really enjoy their anime and animation style like Ushio to Tora, Shingeki no Bahamut and YOI.

Almost thought this was the awaited Magi season three though because of the designs...

Great, don't have to pick up the manga again then. I liked the manga, but it was somewhat tiring to read with lots of explanations.

Hmm I find the staff alright I suppose. We'll see how this one goes but the PV looks pretty good.

As I thought... It's impossible to retain the manga art style. Let's hope they won't tune down the violence so much.

shit!! historical!! hype!! the freaking art is amazing in the manga I just hope it won't be shit in the anime.

I've been putting the manga on hold, I guess now's the time.

Dec 25, 2016 7:59 PM by DenzRui

as historical fans, i should watch this...

Dec 25, 2016 6:31 PM by Kuma

Politics + fantasy... SO. MUCH. HYPE. This jumped to my Top 3 anticipated for 2017~

MAPPA's animation is superb too, can't wait to see the fights. :D
Hinata as the lead tho, wut.

Gotta love how because of Yuri on ice some people are scared that its going to be gay now.

Dec 25, 2016 1:23 PM by DatRandomDude

Another typical sausage fest from MAPPA.

Dec 25, 2016 11:25 AM by removed-user

Can turn to be something good or just another gay MAPPA anime

Dec 25, 2016 10:58 AM by tragedydesu

Looks good to me, sign me up!

Dec 25, 2016 10:43 AM by joe_g7

Not a fan of Mappa. But this could turn out better than their other anime. 50% chance of watching.

Dec 25, 2016 9:36 AM by shanimebib

Looks good. I will watch it

Dec 25, 2016 9:34 AM by thepath

Hmm an anime show about Ottoman Empire huh? Haven't started to reading manga but I think I'll start to watching Anime since I'm lazy to read Manga ~

Seiyuu cast is also great.

Hope they'll adapt Vinland Saga as well in the future :/

Dec 25, 2016 9:32 AM by Vargnatt

:0 and I thought they would never adapt this manga.

Dec 25, 2016 9:19 AM by removed-user
