Blue Eye Samurai is the best thing Netflix has done in years

A lone swordsmaster seeks revenge

Saw someone mention it in the weekly thread, found interesting to post something that is good instead of the usual bad stuff

    I love this show, but I do believe the story is a bit weaker toward the end of the season. I don’t want to post spoilers, but some injuries should not be so easily shrugged off lol.

      This is what I’ve been saying and all my friends think I’m crazy for not worshipping the show 100%! Don’t get me wrong, loved every bit of the show up until the 2nd half of the last episode, with many plot holes and unreasonable scenes…

      Yeah, I agree. There was a lot about the animation and story that really drew me in, but there are a couple episodes (one in particular) that the ‘endurance’ of the main character breaks the immersion. It feels a bit like shifting mid show from a grim anime to a superhero cartoon.

      I highly recommend the series though.

      Sadly you’re probably right but it’s still very much worth the watch as the season is pretty self-contained.

    The shows fine, but I don’t even know if I’d put it in the top 5 best things Netflix put out in 2023. Maybe best original work (assuming it is?)

    I thought it was very good. But cyberpunk from last year was better.

      ugh ugh this edgerunner series? that was pure cringe.

      based on my opinion about our opinion this new Netflix series might actually be worth the while. /s

      If you like a good cyber punk series check out the old series from ~2002ish Ghost in the shell Stand a lone complex. It’s really remarkable.
