Blue Eye Samurai
2023 · 1 Season · Netflix · Animation, Action, Drama
Blue Eye Samurai is a stunning achievement in adult animation, combining gorgeous hand-crafted visual design with a revenge narrative that hits hard and rarely lets up. The fight choreography alone would justify a watch, but the layered exploration of identity, belonging, and the cost of vengeance elevates this far beyond a simple action series. Some character choices lack consistency and the show occasionally leans too heavily on graphic content, but these are minor blemishes on an otherwise exceptional first season. For anyone who's ever wished animated storytelling for adults would aim higher, this is proof that it can.
