MAL users: "'Yasuke' is historically inaccurate. 5/10."
Also MAL users: "The historical figures in 'Drifters' are so interesting. 8/10."
And I wish I could say that in defense of a better show. I don't mind the mechs and robots and magic in concept, per se, but it doesn't feel like they serve any purpose other than identifying this as an anime. It comes off as self-conscious and insecure, like it's worried people won't recognize it as anime without these things. And so they kind of take up space as the story unfolds. It's very ho-hum. The art style didn't work for me. I watched in English and I liked Yasuke's actor in "Bojack Horseman" a lot more. Here, he's way too flat for this. The music left no impression on me whatsoever. They kill off half the cast in one episode towards the end because they were out of things to do with them, pretty much.
I wanted to like it more, partially out of spite, but I just can't.
