Blue Eye Samurai was one of the sleeper hits of 2023 for Netflix. Receiving some major accolades from critics, creators, and animation fans, the series focusing on a brutal story of revenge was renewed for a second season to continue following the story of its protagonist, Mizu. In a recent interview, creators Amber Noizumi and Michael Green confirmed that they have a lot more planned for this animated series, hoping to receive four seasons and a movie at least.

Blue Eye Samurai hit the ground floor running with eight episodes for its first season, using stylish computer-generated animation to chronicle its bloody story.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out Blue Eye Samurai as of yet, the first season is currently streaming on Netflix. Here’s how the streaming service describes the animated series, “In 17th-century Japan, when borders are closed to the outside world, citizens would never see a face that was not Japanese, except in rare cases of illegal trade. Our hero, Mizu (Erskine), knows there were only four white men in Japan at the time of her birth and sets off to kill these men, one of whom might be her father, who made her a ‘creature of shame.’ But revenge is not an option for women, so Mizu must forge her revenge quest while hiding her gender as well as her blue eyes.”
