Blue Eye Samurai

On Netflix. It's fantastic. The storytelling in E5 is one of the best episodes one can see in a year. While the awesomeness of fights can be deemed lesser as they are animation, E6 was still pretty great for me. Invincible is top tier, but I have read the graphic novel for it, so it isn't as fresh as it could be. This feels like the best animation since Arcane.

 

Con: Not family friendly nor recommended for people who like to watch things on the more conservative side of things. While much of the sex/nudity fits, the more problematic stuff will come from the brothel scenes. I was fine with it, but I'm just saying if your 10-year-old kid wants to watch it, yeah, that's going to lead to a conversation.

I said what I said. First third is spoiler free, and yes, the villain is fantastic.

Good show.  Just finished it.  My only quibble is unrealistic wound recovery.  (Not that that isn't a common thing in action series)

As per the spoiler side of the review, it is a hat tip as to what people characterize the main character as.

I just binged it this weekend.  I thought it was great.  Great animation and story. 

 

But yeah, this cartoon is a hard R going into mild X territory.  Not for kids.

Yay!   Netflix is worse that Fox in renewing seasons, so, good news.
