Yasuke

This month we take a look at the pilot episode of an anime called Yasuke. Loosely based on a real person of the same name, Yasuke follows an African warrior who served under the Japanese Daimyo in the Sengoku period. Now, 20 years later, the retired swordsman finds himself helping a woman and her sick child, who has magical powers, to go see a special doctor. The task of protecting this sick child however, is pulling Yasuke back into his old ways.

What is The Pilot's Club?

The Whatnauts present The Pilot's Club, a Patreon exclusive podcast all about the first episodes of television shows. Join Melissa and Kyle as they watch and discuss a variety of TV pilots that catch their interest for a number of reasons. Some of the pilots may not have made it to air, others may have been particularly expensive to make, maybe the series was changed drastically after filming, or even something else just as interesting.
