Cool idea!! I'm working through It's Always Sunny season 16 and this anime called Tengoku Daimakyou.

The Sunny guys are such gremlins but it's so fun to watch. And the anime is really charming, it nails that post-apocalyptic but chill vibe, kinda like Cowboy Bebop / Black Lagoon / Samurai Champloo. Like welp the worst has already happened, we might as well get comfortable. With a few excellent storytelling elements too.

Fun fact, the Champloo in Samurai Champloo comes from our "campur" (チャンプルー is an Okinawan mixed stir fry)

Recall History lesson when Melaka Sultanate had diplomatic relationships with Ryukyu Kingdom? That's Okinawa Prefecture today.

Ryukyuans really got the short end of the stick. They became vassals to a Japanese daimyo (a local domain lord) which is one step below the Shogun. It means the Shogun bosses the daimyos, and the Satsuma daimyo bosses the entire Ryukyu Kingdom. They're so low on the runk that it's not uncommon for slaves to own Ryukyuan slaves. Yes, slaves owning slaves.

Silo. Get the good heat tape if you're going out cleaning.

Also found out it's a novel series adaptation. Gonna find and listen to the audiobook later perhaps.
