Set during the feudal Edo Period in Japanese history, the series doesn’t pull its punches as it creates a violent portrait of archetypal Japanese culture.

It weaves a compelling samurai story in the tradition of classic Japanese cinema.Mixed-race woman Mizu travels across Japan to seek revenge on those who caused her mother to fall into ill repute and a premature death. Mizu’s quest ruffles powerful feathers, leading her to confront increasingly formidable opponents as she continues her vengeance with lethal efficiency. She’s forced into harrowing duels and battles against the most unrelenting warriors in Japan. And as Mizu grapples with how much her single-minded vendetta has cost her and those around her, the conflict leads to fiery consequences for Japan, shaking society to its foundations.With its unflinching depictions of violence and sex, Blue Eye Samurai covers some of the same subject matter as Netflix’s complex Castlevania: Nocturne and similar contemporary mature action animated series. In virtually every episode, there is at least one major action set piece — all of them showcasing Mizu unleashed against a variety of opponents with tightly choreographed fights against gorgeous backdrops. The production utilized real martial artists and choreographers for animators to heavily reference when rendering Blue Eye Samurai’s fight scenes, and this extra layer of quality and detail elevates the series significantly.Watch Netflix’s English-Subbed Onmyoji Anime Series Trailer
