Blue Eye Samurai" gives a glimpse of a vengeance-filled adventure. The show is co-created by Michael Green and Amber Noizumi.
Blue Eye Samurai introduces viewers to the world of Mizu (voiced by Maya Erskine), a mixed-race samurai seeking revenge on the man who took her mother.
The show is set in 17th Century Edo-period Japan, where Mizu is regarded as a «blue-eyed monster» and a «creature of shame.» Living in disguise, she sets out to eliminate four men, one of whom may be her father, in a society where revenge is a luxury for men, and women must be pragmatic.
The teaser promises intense fight sequences in various settings, from snowy plains to volcanic mountains. Mizu's relentless pursuit of her enemies is evident in the trailer, hinting at deeper layers beneath her fierce exterior.
Green and Noizumi aim to captivate viewers with the series' artistry and storytelling, hoping it will appeal to a wide audience, from fans of «The Witcher» and «Game of Thrones» to lovers of historical drama and Tarantino films.
Here’s the trailer.
«Blue Eye Samurai» features a star-studded voice cast, including George Takei, Masi Oka, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brenda Song, Randall Park, and Kenneth Branagh. Noizumi emphasized the importance of casting Asian and Asian-American talent.
