Watching Blue Eye Samurai and I am loving it. I wanna stop watching it but its so good that I can't stop. But I mean I will stop because its Christmas Eve and there are duties to be done. But that's besides the point. It's just a really good show about some disgusting half breed "lad" (hence the title of the show) on the path of revenge in 17th Century Japan. The animation is great, the action is bloody and glorious, I love the fight choreography and the characters are just wonderful. Each episode has been a treat so far.
You'd think with so many identifiers that the show could be exploding with woke messaging but instead the character attributes are being used in some strange ancient manner of storytelling where instead of using it to preach on contemporary social issues, it's being used for character development and plot narrative.
But yeah if you have Netflix (which I don't hence I'm binging it) I'd give this animated series a watch. So far its a highly detailed beautiful bloody tale of revenge.
First episode is on the YouTubes...
Samurai is not black? are you sure,that it is really Netflix?
Jokes aside - Merry Christmas !
