    The creators of the show are a mixed-race couple, Michael Green and Amber Noizumi. Their daughter was born with blue eyes and that's part of where the idea came from. 😁

      @@nihlify I mean its no more violent or full of nudity than a lot of western movies. No need to show it on screen, or it can be easily blurred. The reason why it's popular is because its a mature piece of media. Which means less people will watch it, which means less word of mouth. Simple as that.

    This show has flown under the radar and I didn't expect you to react to it! It's such a great show, certainly the best one I've seen this year! The fandom has been screaming for season 2.
    There's no comic history of this show. The creators and writers, Amber Noizumi and Michael Green are a couple and they came up with the idea for the series after nicknaming their biracial child 'blue-eye samurai' for her blue eyes. Then they thought about what if this was an actual character? And so the idea of the show was born 😃

    I've said it before, but I really appreciate how they attempt to keep the characters in the show from acting too anachronistically. Taigen may very well be sincere in his feelings for Akemi, but of course he's gonna celebrate his "engagement" at 17th century Hooters with arm candy and the boys. Even Swordfather, for all of his cool old guy vibes, steadfastly refuses to allow his apprentice swordsmith to admit her gender to him.
    I also appreciate that Taigen wasn't a complete pushover. He gave as good as he got, even WINNING their first engagement with steel. Nobody forced the samurai to fight with a handicap, and had he seriously wanted their duel to end in death, the show would have ended there. Our leading lady was very lucky to have gotten the chance to do her Goku disrobe for a steamrolling round two.

    • @gerardlacroix6015
      @gerardlacroix6015 Рік тому +19

      It'sn ot that he refused to allow the apprentice to reveal her gender. He tried, in his way, to make her stay. Either accept yourself fully, and live here, or don't, follow the revenge, and thus, live as you sold yourself as. If you want your revenge, then stop trying to build something here. It was more a lesson than anything else. Pretty sure he dosen't care one way or the other about her gender.

    @wapaking. Рік тому +7

    Good series choice! The thing with male anime protagonists (usually for teen/kid main characters in shounen), is that they are usually voiced by women. So, some anime watchers heard the voice and assumed they did the same to capture that anime feel. So the reveal at the end sort of worked as a little meta twist for people familiar with shounen.

    Loved the series (watched it twice last week) and loved your reaction to this episode! It’s great that you love Ringo so much; he can be a little annoying at times, but he’s also just so wholesome that even that comes off as more endearing than anything else.
    Swordfather is an absolute delight any time he’s on screen.
    Your reaction to the dojo fight was pretty much exactly the same as mine was. “Oh, oo, [dumbfounded shock], ah!”
    27:10
    “When you hit teeth, they don’t come out full root.”
    Very true, and reminds me of a funny moment that happened in the “Introduction to Dental Anatomy” course in my first semester of DLT school:
    Prof was asking if anyone knew how to distinguish between the first and second maxillary premolars. I said to look at their roots, because the firsts are split while the seconds are singles. He replied to that with: “Accurate, but patients aren’t usually accommodating enough to let you get that kind of a view.”
    Apologies for the tangent. I ramble when I’m tired.
    Anyway, great reaction, again! I’ll be subscribing to make sure I catch the rest of the series.

    A thing to know about the Taigen scene in the Tea house, iirc, it was "normal" for samurais to relax with geishas and all, as they had to maintain a very noble facade all the time, which is madening. Its not Taigen openly cheating on Akemi, more like him taking a night to the bar. It was seen as okay back then if I remember correctly.

    post-watch - this is entirely new (no comic/manga etc). I really enjoyed a theme put forward in this episode - "purity" isn't a good thing- the swordmaker talked about how impurities (in right amounts) make the steel stronger.. And notice that none of the characters are "pure", and each time we meet a character obsessed with purity in some form, they are shown to be in the wrong :)
    I am very much looking forward to your reactions - and your commentary!

  • @kerouac.jackson
    @kerouac.jackson Рік тому +13

    It's probably the best anime I've seen on Netflix so far, but I think it was written in English instead of translated from Japanese, and the English-speaking cast is the original cast, which makes a difference. The realistic portrayals of racism, sexism, and ableism were also surprising, not a pleasant surprise, but it's a detail that lends a certain authentic feel to the story that might otherwise have made it more difficult to suspend my disbelief, which is welcome.

    It's an original story written by a woman who is biracial, a lot of her own personal experience growing up half Japanese written in the story.

    Im a big fan of these kinds of stories and tales from Asia! This show when I started it and finished it within a week had me in a chokehold. The amount of storytelling and lore they put into the 1st season is phenomenal cant wait for the future of this show!! BIG FAN!!
