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

If it's good, Netflix will cancel it halfway through season 2 with no conclusion. I wish this post was sarcasm.

It's renewed for a 2nd season:

"Blue Eye Samurai Has a “Lot More Blood to Spill” in Season 2"

https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/blue-eye-samurai-season-2

Link including trailer.

Luckily Its also on that pirate ship website

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 23 points 8 months ago

That doesn't help if you want a satisfying conclusion to the story...

[-] Flamingflowerz@kbin.social 25 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Karhoo@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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...

[-] hogunner@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes that was my one big critique as well but I still very much enjoyed the show.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

lol anime fans love realism suddenly? smh

[-] mmazikinn@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

not falling for this shit again lol. it'll be canceled by may

[-] hogunner@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

From the trailer it feels like a bad anime wannabe

[-] blargerer@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

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_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I watched it because I saw it was getting crazy good ratings.

It was alright. Decent show, but not the 9.3/10 groundbreaking masterpiece people were claiming it was. I'd watch a second season, but I'm right there with you. It's far from the best thing I saw last year.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago

What would you say was the best thing you watched last year?

[-] brettvitaz@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

Animated? Scavenger’s Reign. (I know, you didn’t ask me) I really liked Blue Eyed Samurai until about half way through and then the ending of the season had me wondering what the writers were thinking. Characters motivations stopped making sense.

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Scavengers Reign for best animated. Best anything? Honestly, I really liked Twisted Metal. I know that's probably not going to be everyone's top pick, but I had a ton of fun watching it. The Last of Us was also really good.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

I am psyched for Season 2. I've been telling everyone to try it.

[-] SrTobi@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago

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

[-] exocortex@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 8 months ago

Okay boomer

[-] bananabenana@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I am pumped for the next season. The animation was also beautiful
