Right now you can watch BLUE EYE SAMURAI in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and the writing holds up regardless of the format's reputation. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 793 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it in order — the character development is cumulative. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, BLUE EYE SAMURAI earns its spot. The look of BLUE EYE SAMURAI gets people in the door, but the writing is what keeps them there. Driven by a dream of revenge against those who made her an outcast in Edo-period Japan, a young warrior cuts a bloody path toward her destiny. Maya Erskine and George Takei bring voice work that does more than the format usually asks for. The series ran for 2 seasons from 2023, building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. BLUE EYE SAMURAI uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers, BLUE EYE SAMURAI treats animation as a delivery mechanism, not a limitation. The tonal similarities to Tekken: Bloodline are real, though BLUE EYE SAMURAI carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Maya Erskine's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.

BLUE EYE SAMURAI is currently airing new episodes, created by Amber Noizumi and Michael Green — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
