During the construction of the Kurobe Dam, an ancient artifact was discovered, and so the United Nations Kurobe Research Institute was established. Intellectuals from all over the world gathered to study the object, and the children of those researchers attend Mt. Tate International Senior High School, including the institute head's daughter, Yukina Shirahane. In the summer of 2016, a lone samurai once again awakens!

Where it came from
Kuromukuro was produced by P.A.Works to commemorate the studio's 15th anniversary. Directed by Tensai Okamura, the series was designed as a bold fusion of period drama and science fiction, centering on the excavation of a mysterious artifact in the Kurobe Dam region. The production sought to ground its mecha elements in a semi-realistic setting, focusing on the cultural clash between a samurai from the Sengoku period and contemporary Japanese society.
The character designs were handled by Yuriko Ishii, who aimed for a distinct aesthetic that balanced the stoic nature of the protagonist, Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma, with the modern sensibilities of the show's supporting cast. Upon release, the series was noted by critics for its meticulous attention to mechanical detail and its commitment to a character-driven narrative, standing out within the mecha genre for its blend of historical curiosity and high-concept sci-fi.
