Blue Eye Samurai (2023)

2024.01.29
Saw a recommendation on a Youtube; there exists one season on Netflix.
First episode good; continuing.

Watched through 6/8 last night.
The show started out with gritty realism, but now it is becoming more and more anime cliches.
It's still fun and interesting to watch, and there are still moments of beauty. I really liked the previous episode where you're watching a play intertwined with a flashback.

Had to take a break for a while. As the show veers further into fantasy, I am less interested in wherever its going.
I avoided spoilers, so I had no idea if this was a 8 episode one shot, or a the beginning of a series.

Not a happy ending for anyone but the bad guys.
Season 2 has been approved.
I think I would have preferred a mini series, but its still worth watching and I look forward to the next one.
