Yasuke is a 7-7.5/10.
Everything production wise was great, MAPPA and flying lotus snapped on visuals/music, but they should’ve focused more on the historical aspect. The mecha aspect and the magic element wasn’t really handled the best, and rushed.
Yasuke really is the perfect bait and switch anime pic.twitter.com/o7ZvFCEGWS

The fourth episode of Yasuke was by far the most well produced of the show. Storyboarded by Masahiro Ando (Sword of the Stranger) and outsourced to Colored Pencil Animation- a studio lead by Juansheng Shi and populated with a lot of strong Chinese animators. pic.twitter.com/Jv13NWaQMp
