Netflix has just dropped the trailer for Yasuke, a dope anime series starring Judas and the Black Messiah star, LaKeith Stanfield. The six-episode season will drop on April 29, 2021, and I’m geeked up to see what the method actor has in store for fans from a voice acting standpoint.
Executive producer and director LeSean Thomas, is the series creator, with animation being lead by Japanese animation studio MAPPA. Animator and director Takeshi Koike, and Flying Lotus are also on board.
Yasuke is the gritty but visually stunning reimagining of the story of the first African samurai.
