Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Rolling StoneAlan SepinwallNov 9, 2023
Season 1 Review: The whole thing is an incredible, utterly badass example of how animation can be used to create worlds, characters, and adventure every bit as vivid as live-action, if not more at times. Choose your weapon and leap right in. Read full review

Season 1 Review: From its breathtaking action to its near-flawless animation, it's a rarity to see a series that is so confident with itself in only its first season. From the opening moments, viewers are immediately sucked in and will immediately be left wanting more as soon as the credits roll on the finale. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Blue Eye Samurai has clearly been designed to unfold gradually over time. That means there may be plenty of time for the series to hone its dramatic aspects to match the sharpness and beauty of its fight scenes. Read full review
