Yasuke (Anime) add (All reviews)
Apr 29, 2021
Story: I'd prefer if it was more historically accurate to the story of the Black Samurai, but I'm fine with the Mystisium and the Magic elements, but on the same note I can live without the giant robots no one explains. it's a really good Ronin/Samurai fantasy story.
Early on there are several flashbacks that explain Yasuke's backstory. I felt cut up the action and went on for a little longer than I'd prefer. 6/10

Art: the art, character designs, and action scenes look great. there are a few scenes with ugly CGI foot soldiers in the background firing arrows and spears at each other and it looks ugly, but they never turn the main characters into CGI Monsters during any of their fights. 8/10

Sound: I watched the dub and outside of one or two bad choices with side characters, I feel it's well casted. I don't remember any standout tracks though. 7/10

Characters: Yasuke and Saki are fine tougher and I love the final fight they share with Saki plays support with her magic and Yasuke goes on the offensive. the main villain was Disney Evil, wanting to consume Saki's magic in order to live a few extra decades because she wanted to continue ruling over Japan. there is nothing redeeming about her and I like that. 8/10

Enjoyment: I liked it. I wouldn't rewatch it, but I'd recommend it to people if they like Samurai Epics. 7/10

Overall: 7/10
