At first, I was reluctant on watching a show with samurai and robots.... However, the conjunction of these polar themes make Kuromukuro worthwhile. The plot is original and is perfectly paced. The main characters aren't the recyclable mainstream anime characters and the show doesn't force the idea of romance between the two. The show also doesn't start off at the discouraging, slow pace found in many anime shows. I didn't believe that the show would be as good as it was. I can't even describe what is so great about it. Kuromukuro is just a show you have to take a chance on.
