Netflix needs to understand that *original animated series for YA/adults* have value beyond raunchy comedy. There IS an audience for it. They’ll keep canceling them unless they see those numbers.

positive · AI labelView post →Enjoy some promo images for "Blue Eye Samurai" coming to Netflix November 3rd ⚔️ I spent two years working as a character designer on this series during the pandemic, and it was a wild ride. I learned so much from our amazing crew of artists, I can't wait for everyone to see it!

positive · AI labelView post →Blue Eye Samurai is an interesting case study of a show that intentionally (by the showrunners admission) used themes of experiences of transmasculinity whilst still generally claiming that the character is a woman but also "not a woman or a man"
neutral · AI labelView post →hell yeah #BlueEyeSamurai team! Brian was an incredible character lead on the series, so well deserved. And huge congratulations to Toby and @ryanoloughlin.bsky.social! ⚔️

positive · AI labelView post →Blue Eye Samurai was very good, but Scavengers Reign is a once in a lifetime kind of a show. It's going to be the one people still talk about ten years from now.

neutral · AI labelView post →once again thinking about how much i hated Blue Eye Samurai, a show that lavished a lot of beautiful animation and a great voice performance by Maya Erskine on the dumbest, most shopworn story of all time and threw in a bunch of fingernails-on-chalk Whedonesque dialogue to boot

positive · AI labelView post →'Star Trek: Prodigy' Season 3 Passed On By Netflix; Seasons 1-2 To Leave Soon. >Star Trek: Prodigy didn’t make a significant impact when it did land. It missed the global weekly charts, and looking at the Netflix Engagement Reports, it didn’t catch fire. Per that report, covering viewing data from 2023 through 2024, the series picked up the equivalent of 3.4M views in total throughout that two-year period. For comparison, Blue Eye Samurai, which did get a rare animation renewal, picked up 20.5M…

HA, after years of watching Big Corporations try to make a cool action series queer and straight people would adore, watching this thing just pull it off like a hat trick was amazing.

neutral · AI labelView post →Animation for those who don't normally watch animation. I haven't watched much animation since I was a kid outside of occasionally South Park, Family Guy, or the Simpsons, but I haven't really watched even those in the last few years. Then a year or two ago I watched ATLA and LoK after. I just finished a re-watch and am now on a bit of an animation kick. After those I tried Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane, and both where great. Now I'm watching Legend of Vox Machina and Mighty Nein. So far so good.…

positive · AI labelView post →Y'all episode 4 is on a whole new level in every single regard... Seriously I'm so damn picky when it comes to animated shows so when I say this touches Arcane or Blue-Eye Samurai on almost every aspect, you know I mean it. The casino chase? Jeeeeeez...

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's TV recommendation is "Blue Eye Samurai" on Netflix. I recommend this as someone who does NOT generally like anime. That's how good it is. The story and characters are strong, the animation beautiful, & the message resonates. This is art. I was hooked immediately and binged it all. #TVShow

neutral · AI labelView post →I think “Blue Eye Samurai” has to be a show that has the most open story line about being a trans man. That people will deny by claim. “ oh no, she just is forced to be a man because a misogyny. Poor thing.” then act like that’s not the most transphobic fucking statement.
positive · AI labelView post →I love the Blue eye samurai series from Netflix and to celebrate the announcement of its second season, here's a fanart I did in early 2024. Let's go Mizu! #fanart #blueeyesamurai #netflixshow #onryo #samurai
positive · AI labelView post →The first series of Blue Eye Samurai was exceptionally good. Highly recommended. I've been looking forward to this. It's been a long wait!
positive · AI labelView post →It’s funny to me the way people write about the mostly Asian voice cast for Blue Eye Samurai as adding to the authenticity of the show. “Asian” isn’t an ingredient you add for an enriched “Asian experience”, maybe they’re good actors or something? Maybe it’s just nice to see Asians voice Asians?
neutral · AI labelView post →Carmen Sandiego 2019, The last two seasons of She-Ra, The majority of Bojack Horseman, Blue Eye Samurai...countless actually deserving Netflix originals without any physical release. But Kevin Smith's dog shit He-Man show gets one?

positive · AI labelView post →he is the antagonist of the new Netflix animated series Blue Eye Samurai, a colonizer from England. It's an incredible show that somehow despite portraying horrific themes of abject evil, is extremely respectful and features a gender fluid protagonist, highly recommended (it is very gory though)
neutral · AI labelView post →Blue Eye Samurai, season 2 (2027, creators Amber Noizumi and Michael Green). Mizu’s bloody quest continues in London, where she faces new friends, old foes, and her own demons. In Japan, Akemi and Taigen navigate Edo Castle under a dangerous new Shogun, while Ringo searches for new purpose. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/225180-blue-eye-samurai

positive · AI labelView post →With only one animated show (Bojack), it's obviously made by media snobs who think animation is a genre, not a medium. It's missing amazing adult-oriented series like Blue Eye Samurai, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Harley Quinn, Twilight of the Gods… Or stick with childish fare like Avatar or DuckTales.

neutral · AI labelView post →BLUE EYE SAMURAI got its season 2 renewal, thank goodness. This series is so damn terrific and satisfying that if Netflix didn't continue it, I'd still be glad for what we got. But I really do want to see what the creators do with all the potential paths they set up! www.polygon.com/23997658/blu...
positive · AI labelView post →Holy cats. I was already digging Netflix's BLUE EYE SAMURAI, but episode 5, "The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride," is particularly spectacular. Three different stories — two timelines and a bunraku show as a metaphor that weaves the first two together. Ambitious storytelling, gorgeous animation.
