Netflix made sure to inform everbody that Grammy Award Winning producer Flying Lotus executive produced this series, and provided its entire OST.
Yet when the show released it took minutes to realize something is wrong.
Some of the shots, including stills, look beautiful, yet the animations are stiff and lifeless The english voice acting is not very enjoyable, gladly I could switch to German which is better in my opinion.
The trailers painted this as a grand epic with incredible Lo Fi beats, akin to cult classic Afro Samurai, great action and an interesting supernatural touch.
But the series itself goes nowhere. Episodes end at random, the pacing is not great and the production quality is all over the place.
I wanted to make this review to call Netflix out on this.
They went out of their way to advertise this with the FlyLo OST. Yet the trailer music isn't even in the series, nor on the album. They put all of the best action and shots in the trailers.
I expected to at least get some enjoyment from anime fights with a good soundtrack from this, sadly it doesn't provide anything of the above.
Stay clear of Yasuke. Just play the album on Spotify and watch something worth your time.
