A story about the one black samurai could have easily reduced Africa to the monolithic foreign place where black people come from, but instead we get "Yasuke is from this part of Africa with this culture, distinct from other places"Permalink On twitter.com

Yasuke's storytelling structure definitely feels more Western than anime? I don't have it to where I can say what it is specifically, but we've noted that much of it feels like a blend of a comic book (X-Men specifically) and a fighting gamePermalink On twitter.com

That being said it's still also very anime, and very well-written. The show loves to weave in and out of "this is a very grounded historical drama" and "LOOK AT THIS FUCKING MECH IT'S SO COOL LASERS PEW PEW" (the HRT robot is blessed)Permalink On twitter.com

Are there socialist vibes? Not really. But, I remain impressed by how Yasuke naturally emphasizes where, say, women or gay people would have existed in Japan during this period and tells their story. A lazy author would say "well there were no X in 16th century Japan"Permalink On twitter.com

I guess I can rate Yasuke based on my rating system. Recommendation: Yes Writing: Coherent Politics: Pretty progressive Watch Yasuke. Stop watching bad Spring 2021 anime and watch this instead. docs.google.com/document/d/1hsaEOm4qLu25Tikv-_7uZuoYgv0VKN-vp0mvxLaB3Xw/edit?usp=sharingPermalink On twitter.com
