Yasukeįans of hip-hop and swordplay alike should vibe with this latest show from LeSean Thomas, who worked on Black Dynamite, The Legend of Korra, and The Boondocks before leaving the States to direct anime in Japan.

The anime, which premieres April 2021 weaves fantasy into the samurai’s story as he gradually befriends and defends a young girl with magical abilities.
