It would be better if all the dialog wasn't in Japanese. Have to stare at the screen to read the subtitles. One seasom would be enough for me.

Okay, since my comment seasons 2 and 3 appears to be greenlighted. Not sure how this will fare, but I really hope they get it right!

Worth seeing it. It would be nice to have a 2nd season, but since there would be no books to base it on, let's leave it on just 1 season

I'm interested in seeing this, I have the original 1980s series on dvd. That version was amazing, hope this one is as well!

The imperial ruler is the good guy against supposed evil priests and capitalists? A mysterious British pirate pilot drops in to give the upper hand to the dubious good Lord? Maybe I should watch the preview but I'm thinking not.
