Blue Eye Samurai | Official Teaser
The series Blue Eye Samurai’ teaser revealed that it is a must-see for fans of manga, animation, gorgeous visuals, or just the cinematic style overall. The plot revolves around a mixed-race sword expert who goes out to avenge her mother’s death in ancient Japan.
Blue Eye Samurai’s trailer shows a traditional Japanese vengeance story in which the lead character spends years preparing to become the greatest at their skill.
Mizu’s situation is more difficult because she deals with an intensely s*xist culture of samurais during the Edo period. So she’ll have to deal with prejudice, s*xism, and several skilled enemies – she manages to split one clean in half, so it’s safe to assume that she will fight hard.
Blue Eye Samurai’s aesthetics are undoubtedly appealing on their own. The anime series looks magnificent in every frame, with huge buildings packed with details, a smooth animation frame rate, a great combination of 2D and 3D styles, picture-perfect filming, and landscapes that will make you want to stop and take a closer look.
Blue Eye Samurai is described as “unapologetically adults-only…ranging in style from tragic to poetic to savage and occasionally erotic.”
Aside from the murder, the show appears to showcase corrupt rulers and nobles, as well as sleazy people traffickers, all of which are familiar sights for someone on a revenge binge.
While the first half of the season shows her having acts of kindness and compassion backfire on her, the second half shows “that maybe being vulnerable is good and pays its dividends.”
