>>284805533Holy shit it looks very good
Yamada jumpscare
>>284805533Looks great, Science Saru always does a really good job at elevating the source material’s art. can't wait for this and GitS
>>284805533The manga was extremely boring.
>>284805533>mongoliaInteresting concept, unfortunately I don't like how it looks at all.
>>284805533>directed by Naoko Yamada on Science SARU>Kenichi Yoshida (Eureka 7, King Gainer) adapting character design that far from his styleI have mixed feeling with this.
I don't understand the timeline here. The protagonist is supposed to be Fatima, but is listed here as Sitara. In the manga, Töregene dies early and Fatima/Sitara plots revenge, but historically it was precisely the other way around. Can anyone chime in on this?
>>284806542It's historical fiction there's so many changes. I guess the author wanted the main character to have a strong reason for revenge.
>>284806658Is there anything gained by switching the roles like that in the manga?
>>284805533>Kenichi Yoshida chief animation director/ character designerAll other shows can pack it up, this is the sakuga anime of 2026.
>>284806762Making an underdog protagonist, if Fatime died and Töregene started plotting revenge it just becomes your usual political power struggle but now it's a slave against an empire, also Töregene dying early gives Fatima a power vacuum to exploit.
>>284806856...But she was enslaved by her master. Isn't that contradictory of the theme?
>>284805533Extremely good manga, with a extremely good future adaptation and like always /a/ will ignore bunch of casual posers
>>284805533I still haven't finished reading Dampier's Delicious Adventure...
>>284805533another yamada flop

Another Masaaki Yuasa bangerFinally something to look forward to
Fatima Khatun (d. 1246), a high-ranking Persian advisor and favorite of the Mongol Regent Töregene Khatun, was executed in an exceptionally brutal manner during the reign of Güyük Khan. Sewing of Orifices: To avoid spilling noble blood—a Mongolian taboobexecutioners sewed up her nose, mouth, and ears. Binding: She was then rolled up in a felt sheet or carpet and tied tightly. Drowning: The bundle containing Fatima was cast into a river to drown. Uh hopefully they don't go historically accurate

>>284805533Assalamualaikum zapan, zis is da first step to embrace the only religion that is Islam.
>Actual real Persian Not bad
>>284809842>no throat-singing buglerThroat singing didn't exist back then, reeeee.It's actually a fairly modern custom post-dating Pax Mongolica by several centuries, up to half a millennium, in fact.Throat singing is first attested in the 18th century among Russian Tatars and even the interpretation which pushes its origin as far back as we could possibly make an argument for it only dates it to the 16th century.This story takes place in the 13th century.>https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/r88qe0/how_old_is_mongolian_throat_singing_would_genghis/hn6pyhm/
