Fun detail: the cleaver Mizu used to cut the guy's fingers has her signature on it, which gives a whole new context to her saying he doesn't even deserve to be cut by it.
It's funny how if those same people saw her they would threat her like a dog or maybe less than one, yet still they're using the things she made with her crafts being so famous among the people.
@@hellfish2309 You do realize she learned to make knives first? Swordfather told her something like "you need to make 1000 knives before you make a sword" So needless to say, she knows how to make both.
something I didn't pick up on right away is Mizu uses a scarf to hide not having an adams apple, didn't realize till the creator pointed it out in an interview.
@@danielmunoz1275 True, though between her voice, slender frame and lack of Adam's apple I get that she'd want to hide the fact she doesn't have one to not raise suspicions even further x)
@@danielmunoz1275 While that may be true, in this time period, many men and women would clock that and accuse her of being a woman and maybe even do the sick thing of stripping her
When Akemi is introduced, she is faced with being forced to do something she doesn't want to do and has to argue to make the situation more palatable. She is introduced along side her baby brother who is making a goddamn mess and being praised for it. "He does what he wants to do", her father says. While she bows, expected to be prim and proper, he throws his privilege in her face...literally, in the form of noodles! Delivers the message without preaching, in an undeniable way, shows and doesn't tell. Masterfully done!
One of the best pilots of this year. Eagerly waiting for episode 5 to drop. And by the end of this season, for akemi to become your fav character of this show. She is so well written. So glad you liked this. And a good news - season 2 just got announced a couple days back. So we're eating good
easily one of the best things to release on Netflix this year and probably just overall. so glad it was renewed it for a second season even though im sure the wait will be considerable.
The show is so dope! Pay attention, alot of things and elements will come back full circle, and it's done so well. I also love yalls reactions. Yall are so animated, and this is how you are supposed to do reaction vids! 👏
I didnt think i was going to like this one, but I gave it a shot. Once I started though, I could not stop! This is a great series, I hope we have more than one season of this. I am really excited that you guys are watching this.
what a GREAT reaction, i am subscribing! avatar and batman jokes are gold, mizu having no rhythm joke got me laughing out loud haha can't wait for other episodes (especially ep. 5... what a masterpiece it is)
This is genuinely one of the best reaction videos I’ve ever watched. It has reactions to every part of the episode, labeled along with the parts. The reactions are great, and you don’t spend an unnecessary amount of time talking. Instantly subbed.
these guys are what i would call “professional reactors.” they do all the things right: they have their own charm and humor and stick to it, they genuinely understand the material, spend a while having a discussion afterward, are always completely engaged, and really enjoy what they do, it’s not just because reaction content is easy and quick views. These guys are among Blind Wave and pReview’d as the reactors I really respect the most.
it took so long for real reactors to drop reactions to this, so happy y'all finally hopped on the train p.s. y'all might already know but they were greenlit for another season a few days ago
This show is a beautiful, gory tapestry of dialogue and action. The little three note music sting that happens after she drops Taigen is frequently used, and it replays in my head whenever i'm doin shit HAHA
I went into this series when it dropped not knowing anything, never watched any trailer & my first thought seeing the main character was "that's a girl right" but to be far I did want to wait for shows confirmation. A lot of anime sometimes have male characters voiced by women. Binge entire series when it dropped.
Hey guys I'm happy to have come back to the channel, I've been going through a lot so this is a blast from the past seeing the bar reactions of GOT I'm so glad this popped up
I think the reason the “meteor” didn’t burn them is, for one, some things that “burn” bright blue when they hit our atmosphere are typically comets (also depends what it’s made of) but it’s not actually burning per se, but when it hits our atmosphere burns blue because it’s actually freezing. Some will be ice cold when they hit the ground and the earth around it is frozen
I had seen a trailer for the show ages ago but didn't remember it well and went into the pilot with the thought that the samurai was a guy (I didn't know the voice actress either) and so it was a fun reveal for me!
Yeah this cast is stacked. We've got Maya Erskine(Pen15), Stephanie Hsu(Everything Everywhere All At Once), George Takei(Star Trek), Cary Tagawa (Shang Tsung from MK), Randall Park(Agent Jimmy Woo), Brenda Song(Suite Life of Zack and Cody), and Ming-Na Wen(OG Mulan)
It blew my mind when I watched the credits of the first episode and saw that the voice of Anne Boonchuy was Akemi. Such a drastic change in animated voice roles, but a great way to show her range.
I pay attention to newly released soundtracks and just the OST cover looked interesting..Hunted it down on Netflix and gave the first episode a try..A few hours (8ish) later, had watched the whole show, and I want more..This is an amazing show..A great example of an actual strong female character that you can actually like..
8:15 You're correct that in that era, Ringo's missing hands would have been a congenital condition (since he wasn't a criminal). Old farts in the comment section are likely to remember the Thalidomide Scandal of the late 50s and early 1960s when tens of thousands of babies were born with birth defects. Sometimes referred to as the "biggest man-made medical disaster ever." One of my good friends growing up had one arm that ended just before his elbow. He was born that way because his mother had been given Thalidomide while pregnant.
You are another group of reactors that got right that yes the main character is in fact a girl!! The few reactors were either 100% on the money with it or were skeptical because although the mc's voice is lighter and her facial features could give her away, she's still androgynous and her voice doesn't really give her away because it's scratchy and raspy, perfect to hide herself because, as we saw with the princess Akemi and the basket maker lady, women were not treated kindly...also fun fact ft. Akemi, she is played by the one and only London Tipton, aka Brenda Song. Took a google search to figure it out but now that ik, I can't unhear it! She does so good in this role.
11:13 ya motha’s a whooore! I also thought including “Battle without Honor or Humanity” was pretty jarring, especially when the rest of the music stand up so well
Yay! Can't wait! Also may I recommend hell of a Boss and it's sister show hazbin hotel it's right up your guys's alley. Hell of a Boss is the biggest indi animation on UA-cam and hazbin hotel is coming to Amazon in a month. Perfect timing!
yeah blue samarai is a great show. Another one that is coming in january is Solo Leveling. That one is like a power scale video game vs monsters like anime like JJK but its from South Korea. Solo leveling is the biggest new anime coming out next year.
I have only seen episode 1, so the only "spoilers" I'm looking for that is that if there is romance and if there is, is it going be with Akemi? If that's the case, I will probably not continue watching. I prefer no romance, especially in these kinds of shows, and if there is, I want something more interesting and less common. For example, I wouldn't mind Mizu with Ringo. They seem fun together and it is new for a main romance. I'm very particular when it comes to anime, especially with romance. I know that I wil be bored with most interactions with Mizu and Akemi. And if I really don't like something, the rest, even if it's a 9/10 scene, it would downgrade the show entirely for me. I don't want to waste my time.
One of the best pilots of the YEAR! HANDS DOWN! Check www.Patreon.com/SeanTanktop to watch the UNCUT Full reaction to S1x2 for only $8 RIGHT NOW!

....holy shit. I've rewatched this thrice and never noticed that.
It's funny how if those same people saw her they would threat her like a dog or maybe less than one, yet still they're using the things she made with her crafts being so famous among the people.
The only wrinkle to that is forging a soba cleaver is different than forging petty knifes and swords, but nbd
@@hellfish2309 Okay? Do you think she only learned to make two things?

"I do not know their names. I do know their fate." I f*cking love that line.
When Akemi is introduced, she is faced with being forced to do something she doesn't want to do and has to argue to make the situation more palatable. She is introduced along side her baby brother who is making a goddamn mess and being praised for it. "He does what he wants to do", her father says.

Masterfully done!
There’s also a parallel between the shogun and the baby, basically saying that a “great shogun” is essentially a messy baby
One of the best pilots of this year. Eagerly waiting for episode 5 to drop. And by the end of this season, for akemi to become your fav character of this show. She is so well written. So glad you liked this.

Ep 5 soooooooo good
easily one of the best things to release on Netflix this year and probably just overall.
so glad it was renewed it for a second season even though im sure the wait will be considerable.
I'm getting the vibes that this was already OK'ed for a 2nd season before it was even released. The way S1 ends shows it was already down for a 2nd.
This show is amazing, glad people are starting to pick it up.
FACTS
This show is soooooo amazing....
The show is so dope! Pay attention, alot of things and elements will come back full circle, and it's done so well. I also love yalls reactions. Yall are so animated, and this is how you are supposed to do reaction vids! 👏

Soooo Hyped you guys are doing this 🍻, it’s been so slept on with reactors. Thanks guys great episode.
More on the way!
what a GREAT reaction, i am subscribing! avatar and batman jokes are gold, mizu having no rhythm joke got me laughing out loud haha
can't wait for other episodes (especially ep. 5... what a masterpiece it is)
You have no idea how excited I was to see this! So many cool moments. You're all gonna love it.
Blue Eye Samurai is so underrated. More reactors should be reacting to it.
I was determined to watch this week to week in sync with your Patreon but I caved and binged it all! This show is something special.
NOT SOZINS COMET!!! LMAOOOOO LOVING THIS REACTION!!!
Yes! This show is soooo underrated. Best show of the year in my eyes.
Agreed

I’m so so happy to see so many of my favorite channels watching this amazing show!
I don’t think we were supposed to know that she was a female until the ending of this episode. Either way, great show, great review 🤙🏽
If that's true the writers are delusional. She's obviously female regardless of looking androgynous.
I thought she was...it was out there.
9:46 WOOOOWWWW
Man thats a great call.
I watched this entire show in one sitting because I was so captivated
so happy you guys picketed this up
Hell yeah! I'm so happy to see you guys react to this. The show is great and I'm obsessed but there's not a lot of reactions on UA-cam
So glad y'all are watching this!! It gets better from here.
This show is a pur masterpeace, enjoy your trip ! 🎬🍿😍
Hey guys I'm happy to have come back to the channel, I've been going through a lot so this is a blast from the past seeing the bar reactions of GOT I'm so glad this popped up
We’re thrilled to have you back
His "hat" is a "Please Come Again" sign that says "take care" in the upper right and "NOODLE" in the center.

Great reaction guys, buckle up and enjoy the ride.❤
The board on his head is the noodle shop sign that he banged his head on when he left.
Stumbled on this show a few weeks ago and binged it. Thought was awesome and happy to see more folks on UA-cam starting it.
Excited for this one
I'm 4 episodes in and I wasn't blown away this much by a Netflix show since Arcane
At 15:21 when you comment “This a sad MY CABBAGES scene” hahahahahahahahhaha AVATAR THE LAST AIR BENDER!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
13:20
and the smith is Cary Tagawa... Shang Tsung from MK.
It would be nice if your soul was mine… 🧑🦯
I was hoping you guys would react to this show. It seemed geared for a SeanTankTop react series.
This show was so good! And it have been picked up for a new season
Excited you guys are doing this show!! It was really great, totally reminded me of Arcane ❤
Best show to drop in 2023!!!
Now renewed for season 2!!
@10:55 Holy crap that edit took me off guard 😂

each ep gets better and better
Her dropping the weights was one of the best, if not the best, fighting reveals of all time.
It's a pretty common anime trope actually. Dragon Ball did it in the 80s or early 90s.
hell tf YES! fire show.
CHANCE!!
These videos have been out for a while now but I can't wait until episode 5. I genuinely cried so much.
Best episode of tv of ‘23

Been waiting for this one 🤘🏽🔥👏🏽 the goddess of blood has come for you
Naruto fans were extra hyped about the weight drop
Just like rocklee when he fought gaara.
Yes!!! I'm glad y'all are watching this! ❤❤❤❤
Apparently when you read the script of this pilot, the “peaches” reveal is way stronger
Oh damn u are right
Omg where can I find the script?
Great review!!
I saw the whole show in one day, it's so good!! It's one of the best animations I've seen in a while, the last one that got me so excited was Arcane.
Peak show
YESSSS! It was so good!
As an FYI, "mizu" means water, so I'm guessing she was named like that because of the blue of her eyes.
This show is soooo amazing, it's crazy
Ming-Na Wen is also in this show.
11:13 ya motha’s a whooore!
I also thought including “Battle without Honor or Humanity” was pretty jarring, especially when the rest of the music stand up so well
My bf didn’t know Mizo was a girl and was totally surprised by the reveal lol
Ringo is my spirit animal!
Thanks for doing this. AMazing show
Nice Eurorack synth in that background!
Yup this show gave me STRONG kill bill vibes and they clearly used it as a solid template. Worked out fantastically.
They're done with the show now. So I can say that she made the clever she used to cut the guys fingers off. It has her signature on it.
I'm glad you picked this show ❤

By the way #free_palestine #Boycott_israel
The mom outside the gates did freeze to death, you only see the breath of the child.
They are both breathing just not at the same time play the scene again at 0.5 speed. Kids breathes out first then the mother.
Good news! It has been greenlit for a second season
Great reaction.
Can't wait for the next episode
Such a great show❤
This show is so fucking good!!!
Plz continue this show so good
Thank you. No one has yet deserved my blade. So she killed the first white guy without the blade?
Is it accurate to call a French/American production an anime?
14:41 This was so funny
Also thought they were either female or non-binary
I believe the writers have said that their gender is "Mizu".
I like to think that Mizu's gender is 'revenge'.
this show is incredible
Yay! Can't wait!
Also may I recommend hell of a Boss and it's sister show hazbin hotel it's right up your guys's alley.
Hell of a Boss is the biggest indi animation on UA-cam and hazbin hotel is coming to Amazon in a month.
Perfect timing!
SHIT WAS INSANE W THIS SHOW 😭
yeah blue samarai is a great show. Another one that is coming in january is Solo Leveling. That one is like a power scale video game vs monsters like anime like JJK but its from South Korea.
Solo leveling is the biggest new anime coming out next year.
The girl is pretty good at predicting what happens next.
14:56 was just a cute ass moment from you guys
You guys will definitely like the new Ruronai Kenshin anime.
Don’t give a convicted p3do any more support than he’s already gotten.
Yes love it
I can't believe they go SHANG TSUNG in this bitch. Goddamn I love Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa
Dude, I thought she was a guy till like the bath scene episode or whatever and I was like what
I'm.......oh fuck. I refuse to ......Sean....boys and gals.......Lovely babies. This show is incredible.
PEACHES! 🍑🍑

Let's just say that any would-be romance in this show will not end well.
@@matman730 Just asking if there is a romance between Mizu and Akemi. If their relationship is for most of the episode, it's a problem for me.
@@lunavioleta001 There is no romance at all between those two.
i can say for a fact u will not be bored with their interactions lol but no there’s no romance between them
