At first glance I was like, nah. Then I watched the promo video and decided that it was pretty cool.

Ehm, the animation is cool, the art is nice and god that music does not fit at all, may give it a try when it comes out I guess.

Reminds me of Arslan and Ushio to Tora, seems like Mappa animation.
I like this a lot.

Anyone here read the series before?

I got mixed feelings on this but will give it a try though.

This looks promising! Definitely looking forward to it.

Looks like we are going to see Mongols die in a tornado.. Twice.

Interesting choice of music, did not expect that.

All aboard the hype train because this will be a really good historical anime.

Music is on point for samurai show. Got to give it a try still.

What is an "Angolmois"? (I came here because the name reminded me about Keroro-gunsô ^^")

Don't like the studio, but I liked the PV and the staff looks good. I'll definitely be looking forward for more info on this.

I'm a sucker for historical anime, so I'm definitely checking this out when it airs.

I have a bad feeling about this! The music was not only bad but didnt fit with this historical anime!

What's with the music? It feels out of place. Everything else looks decent though.

That music could actually still work with a less bass drop, depends on what the show decides to focus on, I think an upbeat song like that is fitting for a coming of age/making of story of a young warrior, certainly puts a different expectation for what type of show it might be and makes it feel a bit fresh.

But with those scenes & the colour palette, I do not think that fits at all. Maybe if they showed more of a happy scenes & less dark colour palette, then the music would fit.

That animation was just...wow, like absolutely stunning.

Maybe you mean the art style. Because the animation is while pretty decent, it's nowhere near the level of fluidity that you'd see in other great scenes in anime. But the art style, yes, I would agree it looks real good.

Yeah I mean strictly the art style here. It's something that reminds me of Kingdom or Drifters, and while it's not nearly as fluid as animation in a lot of other modern works, it's still pretty decently done imo. Either way, this looks really cool.

The art style reminded me about Drifters.

And WTF with that EDM music, look like it was pulled out from a boring top 10 video.

Didn't the Mongol invasion of Japan get thwarted by a storm when they tried to cross the sea historically though? Or am I misremembering things

Superficially speaking, yes, the storms helped a lot, but they did not destroy the entire mongol army, there were many battles, in the second invasion for example the Mongols managed to land more than 100,000 soldiers in Japan.

A curiosity about this war is that it was where the modern Katana was born, in the first invasion the Japanese had great difficulty in pierce the Mongol armor, so improvements were made.

Ok.
That has to be one of the coolest things I have seen recently.
