Baka Updates describes the series

Mahmut is a young Pasha serving on the council of the Türkiye Stratocracy. The clouds of war are gathering over his country as the threat of the aggressive Empire looms large. With Türkiye's council split between the warmongers and the pacifists, Mahmut begins his quest to keep the peace at any cost. As he finds himself drawn deeper and deeper in the politics of the ancient world, new enemies and allies surface. Who will prevail? What will Mahmut do if war proves to be inevitable?

So whats your opinion on this?

Are you optimistic (decent guys and studio behind the project), or afraid they will gonna mess up somehow? (MAPPA has too many projects on their hands in 2017 so they might had bite more than they could chew)
