It’s fine. Kind of weird watch an Anime who’s original language is in english tough.
The animation is pretty good, some 3D stuff looked kinda bad but otherwise decent. The action was sometimes great, mostly too short and fast paced/cut hectic.
The biggest downside is the story/characters in my opinion. Yasuke was kind of interesting and his backstory kept me intrigued throughout, but the whole plot with the girl (the main Plot) was pretty boring.
It’s kind of a miracle that a Series with only 6 Episodes needs 3 slowly paced Episodes to finally begin and then ends way too fast. Otherwise it’s your typical Netflix Show to watch while waiting for something better to release like Castlevania.
