"Yasuke" | Series Premieres on Thursday, April 29
Lesean Thomas ("Black Dynamite") has teamed up with LaKeith Stanfield and MAPPA Studios ( "Dorohedoro," "Yuri!!! on Ice") to reimagine the life of Yasuke, an African samurai who served the legendary Oda Nobunaga in the 1500s. The story of Yasuke would be interesting enough on its own, but the six-episode anime series heightens the tale by setting it in an alternate and fantastical feudal Japan filled with mechs and magic. This genre-bending anime is way up on our must-see list.
