Blue Eye Samurai was one of, if not the first show I watched this year in January and I think I can safely say it's going to stay my absolute favourite show of 2024 (unless Arcane s2 topples it at the end of the year). I love virtually everything about it, from the setting to the artful shots, from the complicated, nuanced main cast of characters (I love all of them sm!) to the exploration of themes like discrimination, identity, self-hatred VS self-realization, learning from others on different paths in life;
...and then, to top all this, my etl radar started tingling pretty early on through my first watch and they had the guts to actually build upon it (in a way that makes complete sense, since both of these characters use (sword)fighting as a coping mechanism and to them it's a sort of identity-defining quality, so it's almost ingrained in their beings to be belligerant and to hugely respect and value someone else who is similarly minded) and you can bet this dynamic was always going to be the very first thing I was going to edit about this show.
Because – besides the wonderful character development – the way these two together are completely unhinged is just UNMATCHED.
Taigen fighting Mizu that one time and basically reimagining their one fight while doing the deed with Akemi *already in the second episode*? DEAD. Madame Kaji explaining desire to Mizu and them immediately flashing to aggressively rolling in the snow with Taigen and breathing deep into each other's personal space? MADNESS INCARNATE. Mizu casually stealing Taigen's scarf for themselves and leaving him with the first sword they ever forged in exchange (because it fits well in his hand )? DEAD AGAIN. A Shang and Mulan/'she's the man' type of situation with Taigen internally bi-panicking the whole way through those last few episodes on top of all the rest? TOTAL INSANITY.
(And this being only s1...)
They definitely have a long road ahead still [especially Taigen needs to keep following through on those beginnings of self-reflection; maybe if a rather popular s2 prediction is right and he did stow away on a certain ship, facing London as even more of an outsider than Mizu could do him a lot of good too in that regard], but I certainly hope they get to walk it and we get to see it to the end when they decide to throw their scheduled duel and go live in peace somewhere they (and this show!) deserve it.
I would absolutely love to do more on these two or try my hand at solo Mizu and/or Akemi videos in the future (I even have songs in mind, imagine that), so hopefully this won't be the last you see from me on BES...but knowing my record and how little time I have for vidding as of rn, you may see them in the next year or so xD. In the meantime, hope someone enjoys this as much as I did making it!
