>another weeb fantasy like The Last Samurai
Wouldn't be surprised if she ends up fricking Fowler and becoming his asian enforcer prostitute like always happens in Western media. Actually I hope that happens, the show might actually get fun instead of joyless and boring.
That's why all the asian men are pathetic though. Every fricking samurai show now has other people being samurai instead of the people who actually were, you know, samurai. White boy samurai. Black guy samurai. Asian WOMAN samurai. Never a fricking asian male samurai when they were the only ones who were actual fricking samurai.
There are plenty of those made by the Japanese themselves even today that are leagues better than this slop. Personally I want to see a gory miniseries about the Imjin war from both the Japanese and Korean perspective

>Hey there was a black samurai Yasuke >Did you know about Yasuke the black samurai >There's historical precedent for a black samurai just look up Yasuke >WE WUZ SAMURAI
So tired of that nog. Even Nobunaga’s own retainers called Yasuke an animal. Nobunaga was known for collecting oddities and that’s what Yasuke was. An exotic looking slave he dressed up as a mascot sometimes. European rulers in this period did the same thing, that’s why you can see early modern paintings with nogs in them as jesters. The fact that Yasuke was resold back to the Portuguese as a slave when Nobunaga died is testament to how little the Japanese thought of him.
Thanks. I had completely forgotten about this show. >Netflix >Badass hāfu samurai girl with glasses >Product of rape? >Revenge porn
Because of Netflix, the premise, and the trailer I wasn't going to touch this for at least a month after release when the ratings settled. I guess I'll give it a go now.
I’m a far right chud and got through the whole thing with only a minimum of ringing the sofa bell.
Biggest stumbling blocks were girlboss being better at forging rare metals than the guy who taught her to forge; being better at swordplay than Miyamoto Musashi by a factor of roughly a hundredfold; and having blue eyes which is (outside Waardenburg syndrome) genetically impossible in a first-generation Asian/white hapa.
She was literally able to forge a sword out of the meteoric iron that her sensei (with his decades of experience) could not.

The sensei can’t forge the meteoric iron at all, but she does before she leaves the first time, and the sword she makes survives incredible abuse before breaking.
Remember this discussion is about how she could do things sensei couldn’t, not whether her sword broke, you fricking idiot.
>and having blue eyes which is (outside Waardenburg syndrome) genetically impossible in a first-generation Asian/white hapa
The series' name is based on a funny nickname the two screenwriters gave to their blue-eyed wasian daughter. Inheritance of certain physical traits is not 100% set in stone.
Amber Noizumi (pic related) is a hapa meaning she has recessive white genes.
Michael Green is Ashkenazi israeli meaning he has recessive white genes.
Each parent requires a copy of a recessive gene in order for it to express.
Pureblood Japanese people do not possess the recessive genes for blue eyes, so if Mizu’s mother was not a hapa there is zero chance of the blue eyed gene expressing.
This is grade six/junior high science where I’m from, so I don’t know how anyone with an IQ of 90 or more can just accept it.
My rule of thumb is to never watch modern shows, if they even appear to lean into the modern-day sensibilities. This looks like a blatant girlboss show, which wants me to both think of it as historically on point (not accurate, but accurate-ish) and suspend my disbelief. Women were as a matter of law, banned from swordfighting after the Sengoku-era, and don't have any genetic inclinations that would make them elite soldier level. You can be stronger or faster than average, but you can't have a super talent for armed combat, so at some point this b***h has to run into one of the tens of thousands of men actually skilled in sword fighting who lived in Japan at the time, if some gang doesn't just pull a matchlock on her, which is what typically happened.
Also the animation looks ugly and jittery.
>being better at swordplay than Miyamoto Musashi by a factor of roughly a hundredfold
How is this made evident, does she actually beat Musashi in the show?
Musashi lived during this exact era and she claims to be the best samurai alive in japan at the time, beating entire teams of decades experienced samurais in dojos and learning swordplay by watching another samurai swing his sword every morning without having ever wrestled, fought or brawled with anyone prior to her journey of revenge. It is extremely moronic that autists on Cinemaphile who pride themselves in detail and normies on youtube keep giving this dogshit content airtime while missing such glaringly obvious clues.

"That's stupid and won't work!" <Pause and stare> <next scene> *Cripple and samurai charging effortlessly through 8 guards on the main gateway.* >Everybody stops and watches while the MC slaughters them. >The villain is either super strong and effortlessly defeats the MC and another top samurai, or just runs away without finishing the job for some reason. >An elderly man and a random chick managed to stop hundreds of charging soldiers, heavy with samurai armor (The scene with the gate and the burning mansion). >"White man bad", every 2 minutes.

Actually there’s only one white guy and he’s an absolute motherfricker badass who’s only defeated because girlboss is supernaturally good at combat.
I’d go so far as to say he’s one of the best written screen villains I’ve ever seen, smart, resourceful and utterly ruthless.
The white men are portrayed as hyper-competent and utterly ruthless. They're not pushovers, they're bosses. The show does a lot to portray having white blood as a superpower.
So it's a white power fantasy, thanks not watching.
The white men are portrayed as hyper-competent and utterly ruthless. They're not pushovers, they're bosses. The show does a lot to portray having white blood as a superpower.
I think the funniest part about this show is it tries to paint Japanese bigotry in a neutral or even positive light and White colonialism as bad while then showcasing through the narrative how that bigotry is wrong or even how white colonialism and race mixing has benefits.
ex: mixed race person is actually super strong and better than native Japanese in every single way.
White villain is better than the best Japanese swordsmen
Native Japanese are just as treacherous as foreign elements because they allow underhanded trade to happen under a foreign ban.
Etc.
It's hilarious that anyone thinks this is advocating for anything other than a mixed-race japanese society. How people can't understand this even after the whole "muh metal is too pure, you need to dilute it" talk with her master is comedic.
it's just part of the theme of that era of Japan you insufferable fricking homosexual. I'm literally scot (same as the main villain) and the way they aren't pulling their punches is kino. you are a tasteless b***hmade homosexual with no business commenting on art. stick to flipping burgers or something shitforbrains
She learned techniques from everyone who came to her sensei’s forge. Japanese sword combat was heavily influenced by Chinese tradition that emphasised memorised patterns of attack and defence (which is incidentally why Bruce Lee’s abandonment of ‘style’ was so efffective).
By knowing various schools’ attack and defence patterns she could pick from various styles and techniques that best opposed her enemies’ styles.
It’s a weak justification cor such a blatant girlboss but at least it’s better than ‘she just knows how to use the force, all right?’
Musashi Miyamoto trained for years and was revered for winning ~30 one on one duels, making him quite possibly the most successful swordsman in re order Japanese history.
Girlboss McHapa can cut down that many people before lunch and put away another dozen for afternoon tea, not to mention that some of the injuries she sustains are simply not able to be shrugged off or ignored- severed muscles don’t work no matter how badass someone is.
It’s not a fantasy show. No magic, no fantastical creatures, no dragons and shit. And when you create a superhero-level character in a conventional world the story suffers.
It would have been far better if, for instance, the castle storming scene was more grounded. But hey at least the pictures were pretty.
>It’s not a fantasy show

It may have fantastical elements but it is at its heart grounded in alt-history.
I suppose you’d have no problem is Mizu could fly, or turn invisible, or shoot lightning bolts out of her ass, all of which are just as unlikely as somebody going 1 v 6 in a sword fight and surviving. Dickhead.

You are mentally a child
There are more well written and coherent episodes of batman TAS and other kid's shows than this crap. Think critically about anything that happens in these shows and it all falls apart. Especially in regards to the plot, but often the characters too. SR is worse though, that show is a bunch of dues ex machinass strung together by idiots trying and failing to do much.
It was a disapointment.
When its good, mostly in the quiet moments, then it was realy good but that only made the mediocre parts feel more bad
Mizu is always just as strong as the plot needs it, fight 100 claws? No big deal. Fight the one villain thats still needed for the finaly? Loses even with another fighter.
We never got a training arc, everyone who ever did martial arts will tell you, without propper training you are shit. No talent in the world lets you beat a trained fighter. I was hoping that her husband was the one who trained her but no, they wanted to copy Kill Bill so badly, they completly wasted him.
And don't get me startet on useless filler plots.
When Mizu has to kill the deaf girl for Madame Kaji, it was meaningfull and deep. Only for Mizu to get spotted and tattletailed on, so the entire subplot was meaningless.
And don't get me startet on Princess Akemi. God I hate her. A noble princess who was pampered her whole life suddenly knows how to behave and talk as a peasent and rules over all of them just because?! At first I thought they realy show that shes an entitled little b***h and she failes and in the end, realises her role is at the court.. but no.. she is a girlboss Girlboss who girlbosses every situation, no matter how absurd or out of her water she ist.
And thats ignoring the little things like, the watchman only seeing a 2000 strong army marching on after hes told to 'look out a little bit more'
I realy RELAY wanted to like it after the first episode
The last episode was really rushed and there were multiple moments in the series where Mizu should've met her end (even with anime logic), but I don't care because I want to see my cute autistic androgynous tomboy murderwife cause the Great fire of London. >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_London
>Netflix CG animation about a mixed race girlboss samurai with a mission: kill all white people in Japan
Mizu preserving the racial and cultural purity of Japan by killing four men that might've been responsible for her birth and then likely ending her own life is woke now. /misc/tards really don't know what they want.
Correct take
I was really annoyed when the Irishman started choking her instead of stabbing her with a sword, or knocked her and her sidekick out and ran away instead of just stabbing them while they were down.
Ringo blocking bullets last minute was shit.
The whole accidental palace fire that decimates the rest of the city too for some reason was stupid, you'd think they had countermeasures against fire.
Akemi paying for her rescue with the life of her father figure only to turn around and return to the palace made me want to kill the script writer.
Solid show throughout, except for the last episode where it sadly didn't stick the landing by forcing the story to go a certain direction despite everything.
Fortunately, we have the second season to iron out the kinks in the story, if they bother to do flashbacks explaining stuff like how Mizu acquired the boat to London. >The whole accidental palace fire that decimates the rest of the city too for some reason was stupid, you'd think they had countermeasures against fire.
Turns out this really happened at that time period (tho the real cause was some dumbass Japanese priest trying to exorcise an evil ghost from a kimono with fire) >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_Meireki
Americans came up with the idea of ‘bat bombs’ in WW2, bats with incendiary charges that were supposed to roost under the eaves of Japanese homes them set them alight.
Until, presumably, it was pointed out that if you’re flying over Tokyo in a bomber full of bats why not just drop incendiaries instead which they did.

It lacks almost all qualities that you would highlight in something you might say has "good" animation. The animation frames are choppy. The movement of the characters is rigid, with certain parts moving while others you would expect to don't. The timing of the movement is off, with the two characters moving, locking in postion, then moving again only at certain times, almost as if they're taking turns. You can see gaps where one set of animations ends and another beguns. The models are low quality, you can see clearly see the AA and the show looks cheaply rendered. The models are incorporated poorly and stick out completely from the, tbf, nice looking backgrounds. I've seen many R34 and fan projects with higher quality animation. Pre-rendered cutscenes for the ps2 are more well animated than this show. You are blind to what is good and what is bad i guess

My dude, Fowler in the 8th episode directly mentioned to shogun how - and you better fricking appreciate I rewatched that part of an episode just to quote this - "we'll (i.e. the foreigners) flood your land with our people, our music, our shame, bread and milk until you think an ugly face like mine more beautiful than your own"
I like how you twist yourself into pretzels to get to that silly conclusion, considering that the entire point of Fowler choosing to call himself ugly is because he knows that, by Japanese cultural and beauty standards, he's considered to be subhuman filth.
Have you even watched the show or do you that delusional about being persecuted?
wahmen propaganda
The only time this really irritated me was the husband flashback episode. Like how in the frick did Mizu outfight him when she trained her entire life only by herself? b***h never had so much as a sparring partner, whereas he was an actual active samurai under a lord. I really, really thought the direction of those flashbacks would have been him teaching her combat, finally giving her someone to fight again in training, etc. before he tragically dies somehow. It's even more baffling when that episode makes a point to show how easily Mizu gets blindsided by a bunch of random thugs when she begins her mission - showing that this bint is out of her depths. But she can also somehow totally outfight a trained samurai veteran despite that incident and her only being a self taught fighter with zero experience against someone else? It's so fricking stupid. Otherwise, I can't really tell if the show's anti-white/European stuff is stuff the creators actually agree with or only have present as part of the setting. It remains to be seen if they have a conceited 'white people grosser and inferior' message based on how they portrayed England in s2.
I’ve noticed a push for an end to Japanese nationhood as of late. Mostly in anime and manga, Gantz and Eizouken basically explicitly say that “Japanese can come in all races you bigot chud”
I watched the first episode and I have zero desire to keep going. Fight scenes were kinda neat but I don't really like anybody in it including the mc, and Im not interested in seeing where it goes
Turned it off after the second episode. >consecutively slays 4 supposedly legendary assassins in the span of like five minutes despite being shown having very little real world training
Also reminder it's literally the director getting back at the "boys' club" that she said kept excluding her.
Except she didn't, the only training we see her do is as a child and Batman trained as an adult. We also don't see Batman defeating the Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face and Catwoman in one episode after he just completed his training.

Oh of course that one scene is enough to get her enough skills to defeat an entire dojo, have you ever fought with anyone before? Or do you just hide behind your mom's skirt in any confrontation as a child. Fighting is a practical skill that takes years to perfect, you don't watch people fight and acquire skills by osmosis.

Oh were you? Are we also supposed to fill in on how she develops gymnastics skills and learns how to chop entire trees with a katana in a single blow. Did she learn that by swinging a sword too?

Lmao training by swinging a sword makes her a samurai master. She doesn't parry with anyone, she just swings a sword.

You don't get to see or hear about the training of most main characters in all of fiction and if you see it it's mostly a few quick scenes for brevity sake
This is a woman who handles men like dolls. What part of that is accurate to you? What kind of training would such a woman need to do that. The director clearly chose to accelerate her background stories in order to show how badass she is as an adult. This is dogshit writing not brevity. Are you a fricking simp that you can't even see how deliberately written that part of her story was? And by a woman no less. Lmao even carol danvers as much of a mary sue as she is, went through rigorous training. Mizu skips everything.

And that's not even the worst part of this show. They somehow try to convince us that a girl who was abandoned by le father is somehow motivated enough well into adulthood to go on a journey for revenge on this moronic juvenile premise. This is what a bratty teenager would do, kill dozens of people because le father abandoned you, that to Cinemaphile autistic morons is realistic adult motivation.
>called Blue Eye Samurai >not a samurai >her mom isn't nobility and her dad is literally just some sexpat who pumped and dumped
Weebs really think samurai is really just "anyone with a sword" don't they?
At first, I liked the breasts, blood, and the sword fighting, but a couple of episodes in it just got too... unrealistic. "Unrealistic" is probably the wrong word, since it's a work of fiction, but what I mean is, it becomes too fantastical and internally inconsistent. Proper character development is thrown out the window. It becomes too much like capeshit.
watched a clip, hate the art style. it's some mid 2000s shit, like scanner darkly or clone wars. it's like what the computer would render to be the reference for the actual animation, completely soulless
>actually interesting premise >female mc
dropped. dunno why this is so common in entertainment now, particularly in most western productions.
no one likes female leads. it's the most surefire way to kill any interest in your product.
A Female MC that looks like a man is all I need to see to know this is garbage.
The fact that its a story about a woman mowing down dozens of evil and/or incompetent men is just the cherry on top of this shit sundae. Bet it has some "oh look how bad women have it boo hoo, aren't men such pricks" scenes as well. All too predictable.
The takeaway I have from this show is that Netflix absolutely hates asian men. No matter how much you meme about Netflix being WHITE MAN BAD, they still have white male heroes. There's still white male characters fricking women of every race including asian women. But asian men are always weak, pathetic and even more misogynistic than white men. The (female) asian protagonist slaughters hundreds of asian men, who are all weak pathetic misogynists and only meets her match in the one Scot in all Japan, who's spared by the way. The only sympathetic asian male in the show is an ugly, fat friendzoned cripple. I bet you next season Mizu's love interest will be some white guy she meets in London who teaches her to let go of hatred while No Hands jacks off crying in the corner with his little stump arms. By the way, this show was written by some "asian american" feminist prostitute and her "white" israelite husband. The only losers in this show are asian men. Konnichiwa, dude!
This is just a shitty gender swap rip off of the sleepy eyes of death series.
The fact that most reviewers that suck this show off havent noticed that blows my fricking mind! Anyone who loves samurai films knows about Sleepy eyes of death.
>The fact that most reviewers that suck this show off havent noticed that blows my fricking mind! Anyone who loves samurai films knows about Sleepy eyes of death.
They don't love samurai. They love strong woman owning the chuds.
Me and my gf were vibing to this show until about halfway through the first episode where it suddenly has the montage with the licensed music just before she Jane Wicks her way through the dojo without taking a single scratch and takes away any seriousness or tone that show had created up until that point. The episode after that is so mindlessly fricking boring we stopped watching at that point because of how god awful it was
You didn't like the fat subservient nice guy with no hands? The one that's going to be a future lesson in no matter how kind-hearted a guy might be, a woman does NOT need to settle for someone who isn't attractive but we can still be good friends though and you'll wistfully accept it which is what all real nice guye should do or they become misogynistic fake nice guys instead?
>The plot armor was a bit much after the prostitution raid... how do you take those claws and still have enegry?
She's basically wolverine. Bear in mind the claws fight was only a couple of days after the 4 blades.
Personally I don't care because Mizu suffers as much mentally as she does physically. The marriage arc had such a hilariously tragic end I couldn't stop laughing.
Fowler stole every scene he was in. How can Skeffington and Routley also be made into Chads? I would hire two other kinomancer higher profile UK actors and perhaps design them in their likeness, so one of them would be Timothy Dalton as the big bad Englishman villain and then you'd get a guy like Michael Sheen to play a mad Welsh psycho.
For me to poop on

I watched the first 10 minutes and it was painfully generic. Convince me to continue.
It picks up halfway through the first episode. It is what shows used to be 15 years ago.
I’m a far right chud and got through the whole thing with only a minimum of ringing the sofa bell.
Biggest stumbling blocks were girlboss being better at forging rare metals than the guy who taught her to forge; being better at swordplay than Miyamoto Musashi by a factor of roughly a hundredfold; and having blue eyes which is (outside Waardenburg syndrome) genetically impossible in a first-generation Asian/white hapa.
She didn't get better at forging, dumbass.
She was literally able to forge a sword out of the meteoric iron that her sensei (with his decades of experience) could not.
Not sure you should be calling others ‘dumbass’ when pretty major shit like this goes completely over your head.
Yes, you are a fricking dumbass and have proven you didn't watch the series.
Guess who looks like the bigger moron between you and the other anon though
You, dipshit.
Wasnt an option. You really are dim as frick
No, it was the only option.
Seriouly, you are horsed faced dumb if you cant see the blatant insults being directed at you. So yes, you are the dumb, dipshit.
You haven't had sex.
Interesting that this is where you have to go instead of addressing to criticism of a poster making comments that clearly indicate they didnt watch.
>that response
Confirmed virgin
>This is where one goes when they have no argument.
Everytime.
>you didn't watch the series.
Cite your reasoning.
Since you confirm that you are this fricking slow... She fricked up smithing her sword.
The anon i replied to whould have lnown that if they watched, which makes their comment non-factual and them a dumbass.
She fricked up the blade that ended up in the hands of ‘Blood-Soaked Chiaki’ but her own blade was made by her of an alloy from local iron and the meteorite.
You might want to go back and rewatch before you continue to make a colossal fricking dickhead of yourself even further.
Episode 6, 20 minutes you dickweed.
Episode 7 starts with her back at the smith then 17 minutes in sits with her and explains why her sword broke.
So yes, you didn't fricking watch or at the very least verify your statements.
The sensei can’t forge the meteoric iron at all, but she does before she leaves the first time, and the sword she makes survives incredible abuse before breaking.
Remember this discussion is about how she could do things sensei couldn’t, not whether her sword broke, you fricking idiot.
>and having blue eyes which is (outside Waardenburg syndrome) genetically impossible in a first-generation Asian/white hapa
The series' name is based on a funny nickname the two screenwriters gave to their blue-eyed wasian daughter. Inheritance of certain physical traits is not 100% set in stone.
Amber Noizumi (pic related) is a hapa meaning she has recessive white genes.
Michael Green is Ashkenazi israeli meaning he has recessive white genes.
Each parent requires a copy of a recessive gene in order for it to express.
Pureblood Japanese people do not possess the recessive genes for blue eyes, so if Mizu’s mother was not a hapa there is zero chance of the blue eyed gene expressing.
This is grade six/junior high science where I’m from, so I don’t know how anyone with an IQ of 90 or more can just accept it.
Frickkk forgot pic
My rule of thumb is to never watch modern shows, if they even appear to lean into the modern-day sensibilities. This looks like a blatant girlboss show, which wants me to both think of it as historically on point (not accurate, but accurate-ish) and suspend my disbelief. Women were as a matter of law, banned from swordfighting after the Sengoku-era, and don't have any genetic inclinations that would make them elite soldier level. You can be stronger or faster than average, but you can't have a super talent for armed combat, so at some point this b***h has to run into one of the tens of thousands of men actually skilled in sword fighting who lived in Japan at the time, if some gang doesn't just pull a matchlock on her, which is what typically happened.
Also the animation looks ugly and jittery.
>being better at swordplay than Miyamoto Musashi by a factor of roughly a hundredfold
How is this made evident, does she actually beat Musashi in the show?
Musashi lived during this exact era and she claims to be the best samurai alive in japan at the time, beating entire teams of decades experienced samurais in dojos and learning swordplay by watching another samurai swing his sword every morning without having ever wrestled, fought or brawled with anyone prior to her journey of revenge. It is extremely moronic that autists on Cinemaphile who pride themselves in detail and normies on youtube keep giving this dogshit content airtime while missing such glaringly obvious clues.
Musashi won about 30 duels IIRC. Mizu conservatively kills at least eighty or ninety people. You do the math,

Amazing Computer Animation and that’s it…
Another white man bad Netflix show? Color me surprised
Actually there’s only one white guy and he’s an absolute motherfricker badass who’s only defeated because girlboss is supernaturally good at combat.
I’d go so far as to say he’s one of the best written screen villains I’ve ever seen, smart, resourceful and utterly ruthless.
So it's a white power fantasy, thanks not watching.
The white men are portrayed as hyper-competent and utterly ruthless. They're not pushovers, they're bosses. The show does a lot to portray having white blood as a superpower.
Don't we only see ONE white man on screen?
Yea, and another one who's already dead
Do you ever see the first white man she killed?
>made by a hapa
>makes sure to call mixed breeds an abomination 20 times an episode
Honestly it's hilarious
I think the funniest part about this show is it tries to paint Japanese bigotry in a neutral or even positive light and White colonialism as bad while then showcasing through the narrative how that bigotry is wrong or even how white colonialism and race mixing has benefits.
ex: mixed race person is actually super strong and better than native Japanese in every single way.
White villain is better than the best Japanese swordsmen
Native Japanese are just as treacherous as foreign elements because they allow underhanded trade to happen under a foreign ban.
Etc.
It's hilarious that anyone thinks this is advocating for anything other than a mixed-race japanese society. How people can't understand this even after the whole "muh metal is too pure, you need to dilute it" talk with her master is comedic.
>it's too pure, you have to dilute it
They aren't even trying anymore lmao
it's just part of the theme of that era of Japan you insufferable fricking homosexual. I'm literally scot (same as the main villain) and the way they aren't pulling their punches is kino. you are a tasteless b***hmade homosexual with no business commenting on art. stick to flipping burgers or something shitforbrains
>I am a scot same as the main villain
>Main villain talks about the Irish famine
Ten points from Hufflepuff for being such an idiot.
And has an obvious Irish accent also. What kind of fricking Scot can't recognise an Irish accent from a Scottish one? The moron must be LARPing
It was amazing. Could be the best thing Netflix delivered since the pandemic. Only episode i didnt like was the last one, felt rushed
It's absolute dogshit.
How can a woman be so overpowered and beat people who have been training for years
She learned techniques from everyone who came to her sensei’s forge. Japanese sword combat was heavily influenced by Chinese tradition that emphasised memorised patterns of attack and defence (which is incidentally why Bruce Lee’s abandonment of ‘style’ was so efffective).
By knowing various schools’ attack and defence patterns she could pick from various styles and techniques that best opposed her enemies’ styles.
It’s a weak justification cor such a blatant girlboss but at least it’s better than ‘she just knows how to use the force, all right?’
Because she also trained for years? Wtf
Musashi Miyamoto trained for years and was revered for winning ~30 one on one duels, making him quite possibly the most successful swordsman in re order Japanese history.
Girlboss McHapa can cut down that many people before lunch and put away another dozen for afternoon tea, not to mention that some of the injuries she sustains are simply not able to be shrugged off or ignored- severed muscles don’t work no matter how badass someone is.
>why is my animu swordswoman with the meteorite blade not realistic??????
Are you mentally challenged, anon?
It’s not a fantasy show. No magic, no fantastical creatures, no dragons and shit. And when you create a superhero-level character in a conventional world the story suffers.
It would have been far better if, for instance, the castle storming scene was more grounded. But hey at least the pictures were pretty.
>It’s not a fantasy show
did you forget the fricking meteorite literally crashing and saving her 15 minutes into episode 1? or how fricking fast all fighters move? literally cutting arrows and metal in half.
and for the dumbest of Black folk like you, they literally play the Kill Bill music during the training montage.
It may have fantastical elements but it is at its heart grounded in alt-history.
I suppose you’d have no problem is Mizu could fly, or turn invisible, or shoot lightning bolts out of her ass, all of which are just as unlikely as somebody going 1 v 6 in a sword fight and surviving. Dickhead.
>It may have fantastical elements but it is at its heart grounded in alt-history.
Black person she wears Goku training weights, which she can combine to transform her katana into a Naginata and then do a Kill Bill like foot-cutting-break dance
your brain is so fricking rotten, how can you enjoy anything?
watch a documentary, you humongous homosexual
You appear upset, perhaps it’s time you logged off and got some quality time with your friends and family.
>NOOOO you MUST coomsoom without questening it or demanding good entertainment!
>NOOO IF YOU ENJOY A SHOW YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICISE ANY PART OF IT, YOU NEED TO EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT COMPLETELY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
I choose to take the third path, which is to make up my own mind and call you out for the homosexual you are.
>it has no magic or dragons, therefore it MUST be completely realistic
Holy fricking moron, kys
You’re misinterpreting my point either through malice or stupidity so in either case it’s pointless to engage you further. Cheerio old bean.
She's taller
First episode:
>A cripple and a samurai say "What would the MC do?" "Charge through the main gate." "That's stupid and won't work!" <Pause and stare> <next scene> *Cripple and samurai charging effortlessly through 8 guards on the main gateway.*
>Everybody stops and watches while the MC slaughters them.
>The villain is either super strong and effortlessly defeats the MC and another top samurai, or just runs away without finishing the job for some reason.
>An elderly man and a random chick managed to stop hundreds of charging soldiers, heavy with samurai armor (The scene with the gate and the burning mansion).
>"White man bad", every 2 minutes.
Not watching slop, sorry.
>80 pound girl boss beats 5 men double her size at once
>super clever HEAR ME ROAR princess fighting the patriarchy

You can not make this shit up

>shittflix: AHHHH KILL THEM
isn't that just what you /misc/tards want, but i reverse?
Still aint watching it
it was KINO
come on when was the last time we had something this good?

looks like Animation will save Cinema
>also watch scavenger's reign
You are mentally a child
There are more well written and coherent episodes of batman TAS and other kid's shows than this crap. Think critically about anything that happens in these shows and it all falls apart. Especially in regards to the plot, but often the characters too. SR is worse though, that show is a bunch of dues ex machinass strung together by idiots trying and failing to do much.
Not him but he's right (based) and you're wrong (cringe).
Netflix shill
Kys
>Edoslop
>It was good.
Wrong.
the seven red letters make the incel shit and piss himself in anger
It was a disapointment.
When its good, mostly in the quiet moments, then it was realy good but that only made the mediocre parts feel more bad
Mizu is always just as strong as the plot needs it, fight 100 claws? No big deal. Fight the one villain thats still needed for the finaly? Loses even with another fighter.
We never got a training arc, everyone who ever did martial arts will tell you, without propper training you are shit. No talent in the world lets you beat a trained fighter. I was hoping that her husband was the one who trained her but no, they wanted to copy Kill Bill so badly, they completly wasted him.
And don't get me startet on useless filler plots.
When Mizu has to kill the deaf girl for Madame Kaji, it was meaningfull and deep. Only for Mizu to get spotted and tattletailed on, so the entire subplot was meaningless.
And don't get me startet on Princess Akemi. God I hate her. A noble princess who was pampered her whole life suddenly knows how to behave and talk as a peasent and rules over all of them just because?! At first I thought they realy show that shes an entitled little b***h and she failes and in the end, realises her role is at the court.. but no.. she is a girlboss Girlboss who girlbosses every situation, no matter how absurd or out of her water she ist.
And thats ignoring the little things like, the watchman only seeing a 2000 strong army marching on after hes told to 'look out a little bit more'
I realy RELAY wanted to like it after the first episode
i agree with most of the criticism, but the fifth episode was pure kino and completely worth watching the whole show
The last episode was really rushed and there were multiple moments in the series where Mizu should've met her end (even with anime logic), but I don't care because I want to see my cute autistic androgynous tomboy murderwife cause the Great fire of London.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_London
>autistic
When? She never missed any social cues
I'm memeing anon.
Mizu preserving the racial and cultural purity of Japan by killing four men that might've been responsible for her birth and then likely ending her own life is woke now. /misc/tards really don't know what they want.
Fortunately, we have the second season to iron out the kinks in the story, if they bother to do flashbacks explaining stuff like how Mizu acquired the boat to London.
>The whole accidental palace fire that decimates the rest of the city too for some reason was stupid, you'd think they had countermeasures against fire.
Turns out this really happened at that time period (tho the real cause was some dumbass Japanese priest trying to exorcise an evil ghost from a kimono with fire)
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_Meireki
not watching netflix gay shit, gay
Well I'll be damned, turns out the Japs were actually moronic enough to not build against fire in the city where the freaking shogun resides.
Oh yeah, they were terrible about fire. Tokyo burned down like 20 times in its history.
Americans came up with the idea of ‘bat bombs’ in WW2, bats with incendiary charges that were supposed to roost under the eaves of Japanese homes them set them alight.
Until, presumably, it was pointed out that if you’re flying over Tokyo in a bomber full of bats why not just drop incendiaries instead which they did.
It's worse than that. The bats escaped and roosted under the fuel depot tanks on the base where they were being developed, setting the place on fire.
who thought it a good idea to develop them using live munitions? This level of crazy can easily come back to bite you. Crazy, bat shit crazy.
I think they escaped during the live test day.
>Mizu preserving the racial and cultural purity of Japan by killing four men that might've been responsible for her birth and then likely ending her own life is woke now. /misc/tards really don't know what they want.
Racial purity is actually woke so long as it's not for whites.
it would be way more kino if she was autistic
Correct take
I was really annoyed when the Irishman started choking her instead of stabbing her with a sword, or knocked her and her sidekick out and ran away instead of just stabbing them while they were down.
Ringo blocking bullets last minute was shit.
The whole accidental palace fire that decimates the rest of the city too for some reason was stupid, you'd think they had countermeasures against fire.
Akemi paying for her rescue with the life of her father figure only to turn around and return to the palace made me want to kill the script writer.
Solid show throughout, except for the last episode where it sadly didn't stick the landing by forcing the story to go a certain direction despite everything.
I do not understand how people can tske this animation seriously
Why shouldn't it be taken seriously?
It lacks almost all qualities that you would highlight in something you might say has "good" animation. The animation frames are choppy. The movement of the characters is rigid, with certain parts moving while others you would expect to don't. The timing of the movement is off, with the two characters moving, locking in postion, then moving again only at certain times, almost as if they're taking turns. You can see gaps where one set of animations ends and another beguns. The models are low quality, you can see clearly see the AA and the show looks cheaply rendered. The models are incorporated poorly and stick out completely from the, tbf, nice looking backgrounds. I've seen many R34 and fan projects with higher quality animation. Pre-rendered cutscenes for the ps2 are more well animated than this show. You are blind to what is good and what is bad i guess
Too much pointless nudity. Ugly animation
Nudity is never pointless
Explain why showing handless at the prostitutehouse matter
Reminds me a lot of this:
I can't watch shitty animation, even if the story is good.
That's why Netflix made the One Piece LA show.
>From the writer of Logan an...

Then you are too far gone and your brain is rotted.
The woke mind-virus has really broke some people. If Aliens came out today people would complain about girl boss moments.
>If Aliens came out today people would complain about girl boss moments.
If Aliens came out today people would recognize it's goyslop, instead of NPCs gulping it down in the '80s and suddenly thinking it's realistic to have femoid characters do stuff men can't. Aliens is responsible for the society we suffer under today.
It’s actually anti-Japanese propaganda
It’s kind to the japs because they are POC, but the point is still that japan is way too nice and Japanese so it needs to let in 10000 billion foriegners forever until “Japan” ceases to mean anything other than a geographic expression
>but the point is still that japan is way too nice and Japanese so it needs to let in 10000 billion foriegners forever until “Japan” ceases to mean anything other than a geographic expression
My dude, Fowler in the 8th episode directly mentioned to shogun how - and you better fricking appreciate I rewatched that part of an episode just to quote this - "we'll (i.e. the foreigners) flood your land with our people, our music, our shame, bread and milk until you think an ugly face like mine more beautiful than your own"
NTA but this seems more like complaining about muh “western cultural hegemony” than being genuinely pro Japanese
>until you think an ugly face like mine more beautiful than your own
Just fricking SCREAMS the “muh western beauty standard oppresses the entire world” shit lefties use to explain why Asians like skin whitening creams
“Japan needs to free itself of colonialist western ideas….AND THEN BRING IN A MILLION BILLION FOREIGNERS AS LONG AS THEY ALSO HATE WHITEY”
I like how you twist yourself into pretzels to get to that silly conclusion, considering that the entire point of Fowler choosing to call himself ugly is because he knows that, by Japanese cultural and beauty standards, he's considered to be subhuman filth.
Have you even watched the show or do you that delusional about being persecuted?
I hated that line too. The only time in the show I couldn't ignore it's hapa agenda
wahmen propaganda
The only time this really irritated me was the husband flashback episode. Like how in the frick did Mizu outfight him when she trained her entire life only by herself? b***h never had so much as a sparring partner, whereas he was an actual active samurai under a lord. I really, really thought the direction of those flashbacks would have been him teaching her combat, finally giving her someone to fight again in training, etc. before he tragically dies somehow. It's even more baffling when that episode makes a point to show how easily Mizu gets blindsided by a bunch of random thugs when she begins her mission - showing that this bint is out of her depths. But she can also somehow totally outfight a trained samurai veteran despite that incident and her only being a self taught fighter with zero experience against someone else? It's so fricking stupid. Otherwise, I can't really tell if the show's anti-white/European stuff is stuff the creators actually agree with or only have present as part of the setting. It remains to be seen if they have a conceited 'white people grosser and inferior' message based on how they portrayed England in s2.
If you think anti-traditionalist girl-of-action shit hasn't been agenda driven since day one you're deluding yourself.
You are the boiled frog.
I can enjoy a film with a slant if it's good enough. I don't have to agree with the slant. But the slant is there.
I’ve noticed a push for an end to Japanese nationhood as of late. Mostly in anime and manga, Gantz and Eizouken basically explicitly say that “Japanese can come in all races you bigot chud”
Is it wrong for me to say that most if Netflix's animated stuff is actually KINO
I watched the first episode and I have zero desire to keep going. Fight scenes were kinda neat but I don't really like anybody in it including the mc, and Im not interested in seeing where it goes
Onimusha was better
>Onimusha was better

Turned it off after the second episode.
>consecutively slays 4 supposedly legendary assassins in the span of like five minutes despite being shown having very little real world training
Also reminder it's literally the director getting back at the "boys' club" that she said kept excluding her.
she has main character talent, if it was a dude instead, like we've seen literally thousands of times, you wouldn't give a shit
You simps always say this but can never name an example.
Almost every action charater character, starting with Batman. She does more training and leveling up than Batman did in TAS.
Lmao training by swinging a sword makes her a samurai master. She doesn't parry with anyone, she just swings a sword.
You see her in one of her first outings getting her shit kicked in. The movie makes it clear that she didn't go from child training to killing machine.
>We also don't see Batman defeating the Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face and Catwoman in one episode after he just completed his training.
Neither do we see this here.
>You see her in one of her first outings getting her shit kicked in
And never shows us how she got any better.
>Neither do we see this here.
>kills LE FOUR FANGS at the same time with little effort
Oh of course that one scene is enough to get her enough skills to defeat an entire dojo, have you ever fought with anyone before? Or do you just hide behind your mom's skirt in any confrontation as a child. Fighting is a practical skill that takes years to perfect, you don't watch people fight and acquire skills by osmosis.
Except she didn't, the only training we see her do is as a child and Batman trained as an adult. We also don't see Batman defeating the Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face and Catwoman in one episode after he just completed his training.
Shilltroony BTFO
>she does more training than a man who traveled the whole world earning the equivalent to a black belt in every martial art including secret assassin guilds
We were talking about what was actually showed in the showed, since most of the morons here apparently can't fill in the gaps if the show doesn't explicitly show it
Oh were you? Are we also supposed to fill in on how she develops gymnastics skills and learns how to chop entire trees with a katana in a single blow. Did she learn that by swinging a sword too? What is it about this show that lets otherwise rational people suspend disbelief and act like drooling homosexuals whenever a sound explanation about an inconsistency is needed?
You don't get to see or hear about the training of most main characters in all of fiction and if you see it it's mostly a few quick scenes for brevity sake
This is a woman who handles men like dolls. What part of that is accurate to you? What kind of training would such a woman need to do that. The director clearly chose to accelerate her background stories in order to show how badass she is as an adult. This is dogshit writing not brevity. Are you a fricking simp that you can't even see how deliberately written that part of her story was? And by a woman no less. Lmao even carol danvers as much of a mary sue as she is, went through rigorous training. Mizu skips everything.
>accurate
it's not a documentary, pal
No its worse, its an anime ripoff by a hapa woman taking revenge against the nips for not accepting her.
And that's not even the worst part of this show. They somehow try to convince us that a girl who was abandoned by le father is somehow motivated enough well into adulthood to go on a journey for revenge on this moronic juvenile premise. This is what a bratty teenager would do, kill dozens of people because le father abandoned you, that to Cinemaphile autistic morons is realistic adult motivation.
>asian girls can never just be asian
>they have to have purple hair or blue eyes
Weird fetishization. It's like yellow fever is mutating somehow.
she's a hapa and her having blue eyes is a major plot point
Was like an edgier version of Avatar, I enjoyed it.
She even looks like a water tribe girl.
>shilling this lazily
It was nothing like Avatar.
Loses to Makie
And Tomoe Gozen
And Sasaki Rui
And especially Ayako
And Azumi
I didn't even think about Azumi yeah she'd just get eviscerated
Azumi is just ridiculous though, it's insane how skilled she is as a ninja.
How many of these characters have tuberculosis?
2/5
>called Blue Eye Samurai
>not a samurai
>her mom isn't nobility and her dad is literally just some sexpat who pumped and dumped
Weebs really think samurai is really just "anyone with a sword" don't they?
It will make sense when Mizu is Akemi's personal guard.
She's going to be Fowler's personal guard (and onahole).
i liked the parts when she was naked
I too like flag lanky boards.
…what?
At first, I liked the breasts, blood, and the sword fighting, but a couple of episodes in it just got too... unrealistic. "Unrealistic" is probably the wrong word, since it's a work of fiction, but what I mean is, it becomes too fantastical and internally inconsistent. Proper character development is thrown out the window. It becomes too much like capeshit.
>Female MC in a netflix show
>Not a dyke
You should all be grateful.
watched a clip, hate the art style. it's some mid 2000s shit, like scanner darkly or clone wars. it's like what the computer would render to be the reference for the actual animation, completely soulless
episode 5 was kinoest of kino, shouldve ended there
it's fricking shit
and so are you
I was fricking good.
Miserable morons got filtered.
>actually interesting premise
>female mc
dropped. dunno why this is so common in entertainment now, particularly in most western productions.
no one likes female leads. it's the most surefire way to kill any interest in your product.
>female mc
agreed , it was something unique like 30 years ago , now its just tired
A Female MC that looks like a man is all I need to see to know this is garbage.
The fact that its a story about a woman mowing down dozens of evil and/or incompetent men is just the cherry on top of this shit sundae. Bet it has some "oh look how bad women have it boo hoo, aren't men such pricks" scenes as well. All too predictable.
I wanted the big goofy dude to frick her
The takeaway I have from this show is that Netflix absolutely hates asian men. No matter how much you meme about Netflix being WHITE MAN BAD, they still have white male heroes. There's still white male characters fricking women of every race including asian women. But asian men are always weak, pathetic and even more misogynistic than white men. The (female) asian protagonist slaughters hundreds of asian men, who are all weak pathetic misogynists and only meets her match in the one Scot in all Japan, who's spared by the way. The only sympathetic asian male in the show is an ugly, fat friendzoned cripple. I bet you next season Mizu's love interest will be some white guy she meets in London who teaches her to let go of hatred while No Hands jacks off crying in the corner with his little stump arms. By the way, this show was written by some "asian american" feminist prostitute and her "white" israelite husband. The only losers in this show are asian men. Konnichiwa, dude!
>Enjoying schlock that features a b***h as the main character
Yikes, tell us you're a troony without explicitly telling us you're a troony.
This is just a shitty gender swap rip off of the sleepy eyes of death series.
The fact that most reviewers that suck this show off havent noticed that blows my fricking mind! Anyone who loves samurai films knows about Sleepy eyes of death.
>The fact that most reviewers that suck this show off havent noticed that blows my fricking mind! Anyone who loves samurai films knows about Sleepy eyes of death.
They don't love samurai. They love strong woman owning the chuds.
I just like movies and shows where a sword swings, followed by a spray of blood.
Then watch the sleepy eyes of death movies and not this trash
Me and my gf were vibing to this show until about halfway through the first episode where it suddenly has the montage with the licensed music just before she Jane Wicks her way through the dojo without taking a single scratch and takes away any seriousness or tone that show had created up until that point. The episode after that is so mindlessly fricking boring we stopped watching at that point because of how god awful it was
You didn't like the fat subservient nice guy with no hands? The one that's going to be a future lesson in no matter how kind-hearted a guy might be, a woman does NOT need to settle for someone who isn't attractive but we can still be good friends though and you'll wistfully accept it which is what all real nice guye should do or they become misogynistic fake nice guys instead?
here how samurai anime should look
this is 20 years old and i expect better not worse
The plot armor was a bit much after the prostitution raid... how do you take those claws and still have enegry?
And then the castle with the spike trap walls? It should've ended there, like attempt again next time.
>The plot armor was a bit much after the prostitution raid... how do you take those claws and still have enegry?
She's basically wolverine. Bear in mind the claws fight was only a couple of days after the 4 blades.
Personally I don't care because Mizu suffers as much mentally as she does physically. The marriage arc had such a hilariously tragic end I couldn't stop laughing.
She literally took it all the way into her fricking kidney --- that's a game ender right there.
Fowler stole every scene he was in. How can Skeffington and Routley also be made into Chads? I would hire two other kinomancer higher profile UK actors and perhaps design them in their likeness, so one of them would be Timothy Dalton as the big bad Englishman villain and then you'd get a guy like Michael Sheen to play a mad Welsh psycho.
