One thing I realized right away was that it was an ode to everything samurai, with a lot of irony, sarcasm, but at the same time respect and, probably, something else.
In any case, the first thing that catches the eye is not the plot, but the graphics. And at first glance, it seems stingy and gray, gray-black-red, to be more precise. But you soon realize that this is a very "expensive" anime. Masterpiece paintings are squeezed out of these three colors, no matter what, it doesn't matter what's going on on the screen, whether it's cruelty or a sick woman going crazy – the picture will be terrible (and, it should be noted, everything has become even more beautiful and more expensive in the feature film).
Music: turnip and stebalovo, as well as the very fact of the existence of the African samurai. All anime looks organic and lovingly, in its own style and genre. It's powerful, there's no other way to say it.
But back to the plot. He is a figment of the imagination of a fan of samurai, African Americans, cyborgs, modern technology, Texas eateries and fighting girls in kimonos. In short, a normal guy wrote the script with knowledge, taste and obvious outright courage!
The main character, as they should be, has a mental trauma and has no parents. Naturally, his whole life is devoted to revenge, and like a true samurai, he does not deviate from his goal one step until the very end.
It's pointless to spoiler further, but this is clearly for a limited audience, but it's done everything 10 for her.
I'm not a fan of this mess, so I put a 7. The idea and execution are amazing, but unfortunately not mine. It's even a bit insulting, because so much love and effort has been invested here.

Holy shit. I definitely didn't expect this. In such things, the plot does not even come out on top, everything that happens captures the pure visual, style, soundtrack. Anyway, I'm thrilled.
