                                      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 game

                                    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)

                                  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"

        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=sharing
