Yasuke -- the newest original anime from Netflix created by LeSean Thomas and starring Lakeith Stanfield as the first black samurai -- tells a fantastical story of the historical figure 20 years after serving as a samurai for Nobunaga. But those who were looking forward to a historical fiction telling of Yasuke's life might be turned off by the science fiction and fantasy elements. So here are, in my opinion, some very valid reasons as to why you should watch Netflixโs Yasuke anime.
