Shradow Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Drifters is an action / fantasy manga with historical elements from Kouta Hirano, the creator of Hellsing. It centers around the character of Shimazu Toyohisa, an actual historical samurai, who in this story finds himself magically transported to an alternate world after perishing in the Battle of Sekigahara. There Toyohisa meets other famous historical figures, such as Nobunaga Oda and Joan of Arc, and engages is climactic battles. I hadn't heard about this series until today when I learned it's getting an anime, but it looks really interesting and I like the art that I've seen from it.

Rodrigo Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 This guy looks way too much with Eren Jaeger, and the weapon he's holding looks way too much with the sword from the 3D maneuvering gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well, this predates AoT by a few months. And it's just a normal katana. Here's a bigger picture: EDIT: Updated the OP with the new anime visual from the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I couldn't stand reading the manga when I first read it and I dropped it. But my issues with it from what I remember were stuff not happening and technical execution, so it's possible the anime's pacing could fix those problems. I'll see what people are saying about it after it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I started reading it when it came out but dropped it. Seems odd that it's getting an Anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
