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 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 Jeremy Jahns JeremyJahns.com Blue Eye Samurai [is an] incredible binge -- the most enjoyable binge I've actually had in quite a while.
