Seeing Fly Lo go from making beats for Adult Swim cause he used to watch all the anime shows on there to now making music for anime is a beautiful full circle moment.
@@jackthecommenter2768 LeSean Thomas who directed this was also a supervising director for Black Dynamite and he did some work for the Boondocks. so yeah this show would fit perfectly on Adult Swim
i think flying lotus did the blade runner 2022 anime movie. It'd be dope to see him do another shinichiro watanbe anime hopefully, a tv series. Especially since watanbe helped animate one of his music videos.
I think people are overlooking the fact that Flying Lotus is not just a composer for this show but, more importantly, an executive producer. That is monumental for him, I’m sure
I don’t know what this has to do with Nujabes but Metaphorical Music is one of my favorite albums (Maybe because he also made some songs for an anime?)
Honestly if it were longer, that’d fix its problems. Then they could give more characterization, backstory and world building instead of introducing people and then killing them off with little emotional impact
It definitely needed to be longer. It was at its best when it was character driven and less fantasy adventure. You can have a character driven fantasy adventure, but not with fully fleshed out characters and world in the time span they gave themselves. If they couldn't make it longer, then it would have been better to keep Abraham as the main villain and save the Daimyo for season 2. Also, I would have liked it better if they hadn't killed off every named female character except Saki. Natsumaru's death was the only one that came off as necessary for the plot or characterization.
Well spoken, Thundercats voice flowed with that beat like a Stream when the Afternoon summer sun's shining off of it! Crisp, Clean, With Purpose, And something almost EVERYONE can enjoy...(Given they arent ur typical miserable bastard!)
0:53 the animation throughout this entire walking sequence is pretty damn good. In fact, every cut like that is so intricate and impressive. Every step and movement just flows so well. The dynamic camera angles and movement also help immensely.
I think people in this comment thread are forgetting something: Flying Lotus is co-executive producer, and grew up loving anime! Were mechs and magic necessary? No. BUT: I can just imagine the thought process. ‘I may never have this much influence on a show again; I better put in all the things I love while I can! ‘
I've been watching anime since I was a small babe. Never dreamed I would watch an anime with people that look like me, created by people who look like me. And WHAT A SONG IT'S ABSOLUTE FIRE!!
Then I will reccomend Cannon busters. It's a adaptation of a comic book series that was made by the guy who produced this show. I don't care about Skin color when it comes to stuff like this. Yhe only thing I care about is if it is FIRE or not. This stuff is FIRE!!
I’ve never felt so many different emotions hearing a song I broke down crying out of nowhere hearing this song I can’t explain it I don’t think they understand how powerful this song is
@@Matt-jc2ml Well yeah, the anime on a whole is total fantasy, but its still cool to have the actual depiction of Yasuke be more accurate, then like an afro samurai type reference.

What I like in the anime is that they did a good job of demonstrating Yasuke's strength. Normal samurai just cuts and stabs, while Yasuke straight up bisects people. He is the juggernaut of Oda Nobunaga.

These days, I listen to this at least once daily. To remind myself of how artistically genius an opening can be by mixing aesthetics and using anachronistic music and synthwave to the Edo period of the show.
This anime had everything handed to it. Amazing music, amazing VAs, Samurai story with Black lead, Highly talented Studio and it still fumbled. They really could have left all the magic and mechs and could have just had the story of Yasuke before the 20 years and it would've been fine.
@@deusfusion7945 i thought it would have been about yasuke and his life instead of a little magic girl The review talks about this ruclips.net/video/zRhPUTTBaHM/видео.html
It feels weird to finally see someone do a storytelling of the forgotten historical figure of Yasuke. I remember the first time I read about him was 5 years ago by someone's random post and thought this story should have some kind of adaptation
Flying Lotus’s beat, thundercat’s voice, the ART style, it just puts this crazy longing feeling in my chest, like I could reach out and touch the animations. Genuinely love this show, also hella proud of Fly Lo from going from making beats for Adult Swim bc he loved anime to making music for a Anime. Lovely full circle.
The characters walking around... Some worried, some lost in thought, some going where the road takes them, the dynamic camera angles, and the beautiful colours and transitions together with this very heavy music, makes me want to watch this show Soo much!!! I absolutely love this opening!!!
As a black Otaku, I say don't hype such low level things. This was a soulless series. Flying Lotus and Mappa did all they could, they where like Doctor Frankenstein, but their monster didn't have a strong enough electrical charge. The lack of writing skill from the writer's side was the missing component.
I'm so glad I watched this. First anime to really pull me in, now it's probably my favorite show. & the music behind it is legendary... drags you into every scene. Opened my mind up to a bunch of new tings.
This intro gave me all the stars vibes from the end credits of Black Panther. This anime was so beautiful, been proud to be black but now I’m just hype to see black producers and musicians breaching the anime world! The sky is the limit now 🙏🏾 Jun would be proud how this soundtrack came out with the visuals. Hope he’s resting easy in heaven
This Opening is the definition of Beautiful. The aesthetics of this is crazy. Mappa and FlyingLotus did a Great job. I love how everyone walks around in the opening and look at each other and admire each other and recognize each other.
0:52- 1:00 just gives me chills. The camera movement, the characters movement and the music plus the background and color AND the art, just tie in so perfectly
The moment the beat starts, a sensational wave passes through my body, and I am absolutely left emotional by this beautiful piece of music. A very beautiful opening indeed.
I feel like Yasuke's plot could've been something amazing Here's my Idea of what the story could've been about: ----------------------------------------------------------- The story could've been about Yasuke trying to figure out if he is still the violent man he was in war or trying to seek peace and acceptance with who he was and move on, so to get his answer he works as a hired swordsman who ends up with the little girl. He finds out the little girl has little time left and that her caretaker (the one to hire Yasuke) is trying to find a cure, but the Emperor knows about this and is hunting down the woman and little girl so Yasuke is hired to protect them from the Emperor's mercenaries. Throughout the story Yasuke learns more and more things like lessons, philosophie, and morales, he slowly begins regaining his memory of the past and begins to accept that he will achieve peace after he finishes the contract. Of course some side characters and fan favorites will die and maybe some of the killed off characters have a sad backstory or are just cruel beings who only seek violence. Then again, I feel like Yasuke would be like Samurai Champloo if the story was like that, but in my opinion it would've been a great story.
You guys are all so unoriginal. You just compare it to whatever manga-isekai-shonen-circle-jerk formulas you want it to be. This story is orginal AF. You just didn't like it. that doesn't make it no longer original, because many other people think it is. like me. There is no other anime like yasuke. Made in japan or anywhere else. and not made by any other black man but lesean thomas, who has a legendary legacy for black anime that you don't have to like, but respect. its inspired you to actually believed you could attract tens of millions like the creator has, attract superstars like mappa and thundercat and flylo and neeflix and let you make an anime. That's how great this show is, its got you guys thinking you can do it too. lmao.
Maaaaaaaan this had me jumpin and bumpin wtf is this power they thrusted upon this movie. I get chills everytime it starts up, this is so filthy. I don’t even mind if it’s not the greatest but nobody can say they didn’t put they’re whole soul in this thing.
Simply incredible. Flying Lotus and xxyyxx are on different spectrums that really bring their beats to a near psychedelia level. Reminiscent of trip-hop. Love the vibes and the soundtrack. Shout out everyone that worked on this. Never imagined this was an unexpected Anime we needed. Also reminiscent of Afro Samurai - good shit.
the first time I heard this i started crying and I don't know why. its just so beautiful and captivating. then I listen to the lyrics and got even more emotional lol
This is Truly Grandiloquent on all scales of Artistry. Everything about this mini-series is perfect, but the music is so lucid and fire. It makes me feel like I actually survived being swallowed by a blackhole and lived to talk about all the beautiful things I seen while going through the vortex. This shit is everything. Flying Lotus and Thundercat absolutely fucking nailed this shit to the wall. This is a instant classic. I know I've heard this 100 times already. I love all the art too in the show, and the expression of a black slave, turned free man, turned fearless samurai is so worthy of the history we make. It gives me Samurai Shamploo, meets Afro Samurai, Meets Onimusha vibes. This is what Perfection sounds and looks like. Hats off to everyone involved in this.
It really won't. I'm sorry to tell you mindless fanboys but this anime was a terrible adaptation of an amazing story. It will flop and be forgotten about in no more than a few months.
Song is incredible I feel every anime has the best songs . almost every opening and closing theme song to attack on titan was just insane . Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 opening songs was just as insane
I’ve seen some you tubers hate it and trash it honestly it wasn’t that bad I enjoyed it but then again I really don’t complain about shows a lot since I enjoy watching them and not point out every little flaw which I notice many do these days which isn’t surprising . The music and animation was cool to me.
@@jinsaotome3607 it was definitely awesome and the story and the animation was just bright and colorful when I was watching until the end I was looking for what was so bad about it
@@HashiraHatake yeah definitely. i also enjoyed the mix of loud colors for the magic, and color palettes for diff settings, and the fights were really dope. and i liked that they didnt make the girl he had to protect useless and she actually helped unlike what they usually do in movies. before i saw it i read a few comments online dissing it, but when i watched it for myself i really enjoyed it.
Lakeith Stanfield playing a huge roll in this along w/ Flying Lotus makes this a must support. More P.OC. in the anime world is beautiful and inspiring Don't let the robot throw you off from a great anime!

I’ve never felt so many different emotions hearing a song
I broke down crying out of nowhere hearing this song
I can’t explain it
I don’t think they understand how powerful this song is
I feel so many things when hearing it. But mostly flash backs to the 80s. Mixed with anime and asian girls i could never get..
Also the very beginning reminds me of the sega saturn, and music from Daytona usa.idk
That what soul music does. The hardship of setbacks, rejections, & then overcoming these obstacles….
That's because it's a low key sample of tony Braxton long as I live
Flying lotus has that touch, too bad the anime sucked but this song will live on, I hope fly lo gets on an anime that speaks about what his songs tell
Can we get a historical Yasuke anime next time? Lets keep Flying Lotus though that man is insane with these beats
There isn't much known about him historically, supposedly when Nobunaga died he was sold off again.
This has got to be top one of the 10 best anime intros songs all time

He finds out the little girl has little time left and that her caretaker (the one to hire Yasuke) is trying to find a cure, but the Emperor knows about this and is hunting down the woman and little girl so Yasuke is hired to protect them from the Emperor's mercenaries. Throughout the story Yasuke learns more and more things like lessons, philosophie, and morales, he slowly begins regaining his memory of the past and begins to accept that he will achieve peace after he finishes the contract. Of course some side characters and fan favorites will die and maybe some of the killed off characters have a sad backstory or are just cruel beings who only seek violence.
Then again, I feel like Yasuke would be like Samurai Champloo if the story was like that, but in my opinion it would've been a great story.
You guys are all so unoriginal. You just compare it to whatever manga-isekai-shonen-circle-jerk formulas you want it to be. This story is orginal AF. You just didn't like it. that doesn't make it no longer original, because many other people think it is. like me. There is no other anime like yasuke. Made in japan or anywhere else. and not made by any other black man but lesean thomas, who has a legendary legacy for black anime that you don't have to like, but respect. its inspired you to actually believed you could attract tens of millions like the creator has, attract superstars like mappa and thundercat and flylo and neeflix and let you make an anime. That's how great this show is, its got you guys thinking you can do it too. lmao.
Concordo com vocês dois
Maaaaaaaan this had me jumpin and bumpin wtf is this power they thrusted upon this movie. I get chills everytime it starts up, this is so filthy.
I don’t even mind if it’s not the greatest but nobody can say they didn’t put they’re whole soul in this thing.
This song is so lovely. Instant buy.
This opening is mesmerizing. Never seen an op so beautiful.
God the visuals on this are actually insane like wow MAPPA u never miss and Flying Lotus u possibly just made the best anime opening beat
I've had this song looped for the last hour.
Amazing anime, Thanks Flying Lotus/Thundercat.
Some serious Adult Swim vibes from this...I could see myself staying up till 2am to watch this weekely
Simply incredible. Flying Lotus and xxyyxx are on different spectrums that really bring their beats to a near psychedelia level. Reminiscent of trip-hop. Love the vibes and the soundtrack. Shout out everyone that worked on this. Never imagined this was an unexpected Anime we needed. Also reminiscent of Afro Samurai - good shit.
I never thought l heard an intro that would feel the void Nujabes left but wow.
For a short anime Yasuke was one of those openings that I couldn't seem to skip 🤣. It's nice man✨
This is my favorite anime from Netflix
the first time I heard this i started crying and I don't know why. its just so beautiful and captivating. then I listen to the lyrics and got even more emotional lol
They fucked around and damn near made a modern masterpiece
This is the kind of intro any other good anime dream of. The song is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
this is the only intro in my entire life that i've never skipped- not once
This by far the most beautiful and flamboyant intro I ever seen
This hasn’t come out on Netflix yet, and I’m already in love with this opening 🔥
It’s up a few hours ago. Bout to do a react series tonthis
@@SailorSlay
You Go gurl 👍
It’s out broski
I thought the anime was highly underrated. The Opening is a Bop!
This is one of the best anime openings.
Instant Classic.
This intro was the most beautiful thing ever, it felt like I was watching a music video, like WOW- BEAUTIFUL✨
Intro is so good, show is even better. I hope ppl are seriously supporting this show. Hell, I hope we get a season 2 tbh.
They fumbled really hard on the story
this still gives me goosebumps wth, such wasted potential, couldve been a masterpiece
This is incredible. It's also making me miss Afro Samurai.
" black gold of the sun" This song lyrics are so simple yet hit so hard .
Imagine RDCWORLD about to make another Anime House starting with Yasuke
Yep!
Wow thank you for that comment cause I was already thinking the same!
And guess what, I was right
@@giosanchez3882 and guess what I was right
This is Truly Grandiloquent on all scales of Artistry. Everything about this mini-series is perfect, but the music is so lucid and fire. It makes me feel like I actually survived being swallowed by a blackhole and lived to talk about all the beautiful things I seen while going through the vortex. This shit is everything. Flying Lotus and Thundercat absolutely fucking nailed this shit to the wall. This is a instant classic. I know I've heard this 100 times already. I love all the art too in the show, and the expression of a black slave, turned free man, turned fearless samurai is so worthy of the history we make. It gives me Samurai Shamploo, meets Afro Samurai, Meets Onimusha vibes. This is what Perfection sounds and looks like. Hats off to everyone involved in this.
This gonna reach Samurai Champloo's epicness level
Nah its just different but ain't gonna reach samurai champool level
too short
S2 might happen since they put it with s1. If there is s2 hope it will be better and well explained
If was buffet maybe
It really won't. I'm sorry to tell you mindless fanboys but this anime was a terrible adaptation of an amazing story. It will flop and be forgotten about in no more than a few months.
I haven't even seen this show, and this opening is Soo moving...
I keep coming back!
I can see Nujabes and Samurai Champloo being a MAJOR INSPIRATION!!!!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!
Still in love with this beat, beautiful melody and mesmerizing aesthetic shots!
This gives me Afro Samurai vibes and I love it.
I husband keeps recommending that one to me.
This was one of the most beautiful intros ever
Beautiful intrios 🤔 "Elfen lied" 🥰
Mother's Basement needs to do a what's in an OP of this.
Nujabes would be so happy with this anime.
Song is incredible
I feel every anime has the best songs . almost every opening and closing theme song to attack on titan was just insane .
Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 opening songs was just as insane
I’ve seen some you tubers hate it and trash it honestly it wasn’t that bad I enjoyed it but then again I really don’t complain about shows a lot since I enjoy watching them and not point out every little flaw which I notice many do these days which isn’t surprising . The music and animation was cool to me.
yeah that sucks. i thought the show was dope too. i actually liked the characters and the story.
@@jinsaotome3607 it was definitely awesome and the story and the animation was just bright and colorful when I was watching until the end I was looking for what was so bad about it
@@HashiraHatake yeah definitely. i also enjoyed the mix of loud colors for the magic, and color palettes for diff settings, and the fights were really dope. and i liked that they didnt make the girl he had to protect useless and she actually helped unlike what they usually do in movies. before i saw it i read a few comments online dissing it, but when i watched it for myself i really enjoyed it.
Lakeith Stanfield playing a huge roll in this along w/ Flying Lotus makes this a must support. More P.OC. in the anime world is beautiful and inspiring
Don't let the robot throw you off from a great anime!
It'll pop off
