The Director, LeSean Thomas, explains why he made a deliberate choice to focus on these other areas, and I can't fault him for that.
Discovering the Black Samurai with Yasuke Director LeSean Thomas
Mercedez Clewis sat down with director LeSean Thomas to discuss the mystery of Yasuke, creating a new hero, and why Thomas doesn't create anime for otaku.www.animenewsnetwork.com
As well as this good quote from Entertainment Weekly
Plus, in the first interview above, he states that there's really not a lot of knowledge about the actual historic figure available.
The fact that there isn't alot known about the real person gives a lot of leeway when doing something without the need for magic and mechs. It didn't stand out to me at all. I still hope it does well, and I hope the director gets to work on more projects. This obviously wasn't for me, and that's ok. I'm hardly the target audience for a lot of anime these days it seems.
