Mizu - Blue Eye Samurai

How did this terrible creature come to be? Hate alone was not enough. It took one more ingredient. Love… poisoned by betrayal, to bring so much bloodshed and woe to create the onryō.

[@shaokhan4421]

Dude this is such an insane show… the INRYU!! 👺👹

[@anutzica]

this show is incredible. one of the best i've seen ever. on par with "arcane" in storytelling, voice acting, and visuals.

[@hahayuck2169]

Definitely! But I think arcane is just slightly better, Its still very good though I pray to god we get season 2 soon

[@KD-_-]

visuals definitely not as good, but the show still looks great.

[@marijougonzalez8437]

Literally. I like blue eye samurai more than Arcane though, in that its its own original, fresh content with no previous incarnations. Something about not knowing what’s coming and having zero previous points of influence makes this more special ontop of everything else it does perfect. Still love Arcane though, but this show definitely stole my heart.

[@samaelcastroson9645]

One of the best shows I've watched this year definitely top 5.

bro pls let us know your top shows, i need more stuff to watch

[@BenHopkins1000]

So many subverted expectations, and instant replays…(spoilers ahead): -We all expected Mizu to kick off her path of revenge starting with her childhood bully. Instead, she humiliates him in front of his peers and sets him on a path to redemption -After Fowler destroys Mizu’s sword, we all expected her to just build a new one. Instead, she saves the space metal for later. She’s too vengeful to rebuild it right now, and she knows it -Finally, Akemi never gets to be with the man she chooses, but for once, she gets to be the boss of two other men in her life: The new shogun and her old man

[@allisontaylor729]

[@TheFMHatter1986]

I really didn't know ANYTHING about this show before the trailer dropped and I watched it and I was blown away by the chemistry between Mizu and Taigan from enemies to potential lovers? like a R-rated Mulan (granted this Japan and not China) I think Netflix's greatest show they've geen-lit and I want to see more (granted I love Big Mouth but that's another show all altogether) I agee there was not a lot of marketing for this also let me shoutout Kenneth Branagh as Fowler he voiced a villian I loved to hate the sadistic tone as he was supposed to be Irish given he said we Brits in the 7th episode?

[@alexwyman7048]

Fowler is Irish (and probably still hates the English, given what he said when reminiscing about his childhood under the Tudors in E7) but he's willing to assimilate into the British Empire if it improves his lot in life. And having seen the success of colonialism, he's clearly willing to exploit that for his own gain, even if he's been on the receiving end himself.

[@matheusarruda6462]

His observation that he was an orphan child during the Nine Years War ("O'neil's rebellion", as he terms it) in Ulster probably explains it. That was basically the last real attempt at Northern Irish independence and after O'neil's rebellion was put down The Tudors fully colonized Northern Ireland to keep that from happening again (as indeed they're part of the United Kingdom to this day). So he probably grew up under the shadow of a catastrophically failed rebellion and colonized society and decided "well, I can't beat 'em so might as well join 'em".

[@sicklecuthammerfall]

He was likely an early loyalist

[@danielcalabrese5769]

Blue eye samurai is straight up perfection in every aspect from animation to storytelling and character development, especially character development it's epic and blew me away. This video is not good for people to watch who have yet to watch it there are way too many spoilers. "Ovik" if you are a fan of the show then maybe at the start of this video you could put some text up saying (major spoilers?) it's just a thought so that others can experience this show in the same way as I did with fresh eyes.

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

I am really curious to see where Mizu's story goes after she gets to London (I'm guessing that's where she is going). Does she even know English and if not, will Fowler help her learn enough to get by? I wonder what her reaction is going to be seeing European culture and meeting British people or Europeans in general. And since its hinted Skeffington is her father I wonder how that's going to play out. I'm sure she's going to want to kill him but I wonder if he's going to talk her down first. It would be a huge plot twist if they had Skeffington and Mizu's mother being in real love but he was forced to leave because of Japan's no foreigner policy. Or he had to leave in order to protect Mizu from something else. I wonder if Mizu will have half siblings that are pure European and if they'll accept her or not.

[@quietmoodmusic]

I hope they play it from this angle it could be really interesting

[@standanddeliver2925]

[@ozmasterofmasks5838]

there are two men in London, I know their names, I know their fates. also I wonder if they'll show us what happened to violet. maybe it could be used as a twist. like maybe Mizu thinks he is dead but he is actually still around or he was close to someone who will want revenge later in a very revenge is a cycle way (though I doubt either hipothesis).

Beste Animations Serie die ich je gesehen habe. !!!! Die Bildgewalt, die Choreografie einfach alles ist fantastisch!! Mizu hat mich ab Sekunde eins gefesselt. Und ihr Schicksal hat mich tief berührt. Ihre Charakterentwicklung und aller Beteiligten um sie herum war Klasse. Es Muss eine 2 Staffel geben !!! ACHTUNG Spoiler !! London kann sehr interessant werden. Da ja auch nicht bekannt ist, wer ihre Mutter ist. Vielleicht ist auch ihr Vater keiner der 4??? Was wird sie in London tun?? Zumindest ist sie ja jetzt auf Fowler angewiesen. (Sprache, Kultur.. etc. ) Ich nehme an, das sie dort nicht ruhig sein wird und sie für Aufsehen sorgen wird. Auch Akemis weiterer Weg würde mich sehr interessieren. Und Taigen und Ringo natürlich. Ich könnte hier jetzt noch zig Spekulationen aufstellen, aber das ist nicht die richtige Plattform dafür. Allerdings weiß ich auch nicht, wo ich mit anderen darüber diskutieren kann. Ich finde hier in Deutschland noch keine entsprechenden Seiten. Und ich kann leider kein Englisch 😊 Jedenfalls ist diese Serie ein MEISTERWERK!!! Hab sie jetzt schon 5 x gesehen 😊😊 Bitte empfiehlt es allen ERWACHSENEN die ihr kennt weiter, je mehr gucken um so wahrscheinlicher kann eine 2 Staffel kommen Hoffentlich. Hängt ja auch vom Erfolg ab. Danke für dieses tolle zusammenfassende Video über Mizu❤ Hoffentlich könnt ihr euch das hier ins deutsche übersetzen 😊

gosh these are so good

[@ingwerschwensen8115]

Very good. Thanks!

[@Senki207]

It's honestly mindboggling how much love detail went into creating this show. Every fight is a story on itself. Take the dojo fight from episode 1: initially, we see that Mizu is better than the other dojo students. Then, when they ask her "what school she is", instead of saying "I follow no school or single technique", she pulls the most unorthodox move possible by fucking bouncing her sparring sword off the floor and then fighting with her hat of all things. Then, after we've seen how unique her fighting style is, the completely over-the-top tooth batting move shows us that she is not only a better fighter than the students but she FAR outmatches them. All this to culminate in a fight against Taigen, a master samurai when she's already probably tired from beating the dojo students. And in her fight with Taigen, we find out that she was fighting with WEIGHTS the whole time?! And that the fight that shows us her true skill is against her childhood bully who was ready to kill her with a rock before the meteor strike?? And that later Taigen, who could easily be her arch-nemesis in a classic anime grows to be one of her closest allies (and possibly lover in later seasons)??? I just... I can't even...
