Blue Eye Samurai is an adult action-drama anime about a samurai womans quest for revenge. The show features over-the-top violence, full nudity, and scary imagery including blood and detailed gore, dismemberment, decapitation, executions, torture, and death. The main character, Mizu, is a mixed-race woman born in the Edo period of Japan who is heavily discriminated against and made into an outcast in Japan. The shows cast includes Maya Erskine, Kenneth Branagh, George Takei, Randall Park, and Brenda Song. The shows creators prioritized representation when selecting their voice cast, from the key players to the group actors who were murmuring in the background of scenes. The shows visual language is drawn from Japanese art, and the characters are designed after Bunraku. The show is unapologetically adults-only and ranges in tone from tragic to poetic to barbaric and occasionally erotic. There is no information available on the ingredients or materials used in the production of the show.
