Emma Stefansky The Atlantic It deserves to be counted among the best shows of the year. The series takes the trappings of a heroic action-adventure and turns them on their head, crafting a bloody, emotional drama that is riveting from the very first frame. Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Daniel Fienberg Hollywood Reporter One of the year’s most surprising and viscerally exciting TV experiences. Dec 14, 2023 Full Review David Opie Empire Magazine Blue Eye Samurai is a gorgeous, addictive thrill-ride that never loses sight of Mizu's point-of-view, even when the road ahead is obscured with blood. Rated: 5/5 Nov 23, 2023 Full Review Emmanuel Noisette The Movie Blog Blue Eye Samurai is a triumph of storytelling and animation. Rated: 9.5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen ...top-notch visuals in an animation style that strikes the eye both with gorgeous, lived-in landscapes and gory fight scenes where torn limbs and crimson blood become poetry. Blue Eye Samurai is undoubtedly a feast for the eyes and the soul. Jun 20, 2024 Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Blue Eyed Samurai is clearly trying to use its genre format to tell a story about mixed-race identity. But in practice, when you analyze it in any level of detail, it delivers mixed messages, and not in a good way. May 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

David Y Excellent production. Congratulations! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Thanh N Love it. Very unique and refreshing story, looking forward to the next season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Alessandro A High quality series, great characters, good plot, great atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like is that the development of Mizu's character. She becomes too dark and obsessed in my opinion. I hope that season 2 will not continue down that road, it can only lead to a fatal ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review WILLIAM Q Que animación tan genial Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Thais L This a masterpiece. It under promises and over delivers. It’s so captivating and the aesthetic is just on point. Wish I could erase it from my memory so I could watch it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Michael W This may be the best piece of art I have ever seen. I'm not even sure what to say this is a different level of genius here. One of the best pieces put on film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
