Why don't they make anime set in historical Japan anymore? It's such a cool setting, with samurai and ninja and shogun and all that. You can even throw in some vaguely Buddhist / Shinto mythology in there like youkai and kappa and kitsune and asian dragons and miko's casting spells and all that if you don't want realism.

Samurai Champloo.

No. It's fucking garbage.
There's only a handful of decent Nobunaga/Samurai anime out of the hundreds that already exist.
Exact same thing with Japanese folklore.

Because it won't sell

that was over 10 years ago, and while there have been a few since, but I don't think there were any recently.

And they all sell to some degree.
Not only is Samurai anime shit, it sells like it too.

just watch kurosawa films or something.
Aren't you a weeb or something?
Jidaigeki is so shit that you need to appropriate another genre's style to make it bearable.

There was that one show a year ago or so set in the Meiji era with a prison for rebellious samurai on an island and three brothers who work as government dogs against their fellow samurai, but I think only like five people on /a/ watched it.
It had secret ninja clans and Orochi and all that other stuff weebs love.
Just watch Shichinin no Samurai.

name?
I would like to see a anime/manga about Pre-Samurai Japan like Akoya Tsutaya or about the Ainu (Golden Kamui) or the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom of Okinawa.

Does the fork joining the Warrior and the Aesthete truly exist?
