Saw someone mention it in the weekly thread, found interesting to post something that is good instead of the usual bad stuff

If it's good, Netflix will cancel it halfway through season 2 with no conclusion. I wish this post was sarcasm.

It's renewed for a 2nd season:

"Blue Eye Samurai Has a “Lot More Blood to Spill” in Season 2"

https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/blue-eye-samurai-season-2

Link including trailer.

Luckily Its also on that pirate ship website

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 20 points 9 months ago

That doesn't help if you want a satisfying conclusion to the story...

[–] mmazikinn@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

not falling for this shit again lol. it'll be canceled by may

[–] hogunner@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Sadly you’re probably right but it’s still very much worth the watch as the season is pretty self-contained.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

Tried a few episodes but it reeked of weaboo cringe.

No it got renewed for season 2

[–] Kyuuketsuki@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Inside Job was also renewed until it was suddenly rugged, so I'm not holding my breath for anything Netflix produces until it actually airs.

[–] THEDAEMON@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

That is a solid point can't argue . I miss inside job .

From the trailer it feels like a bad anime wannabe

I thought it was very good. But cyberpunk from last year was better.

[–] exocortex@discuss.tchncs.de -5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

ugh ugh this edgerunner series? that was pure cringe.

based on my opinion about our opinion this new Netflix series might actually be worth the while. /s

If you like a good cyber punk series check out the old series from ~2002ish Ghost in the shell Stand a lone complex. It's really remarkable.

Okay boomer

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I am psyched for Season 2. I've been telling everyone to try it.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Does it have a conclusion of sorts for season 1? I'm not interested in getting involved with an ever cliffhanging show that Netflix will cancel before conclusion.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Season one is enjoyable as a package of just itself. There are some ways in which the ending could be seen as cliffhangery, in that season 2 won't be starting from scratch and some of the characters' arcs will be continued from what we've seen so far in season 1, but that doesn't feel like a cliffhanger to me, more like natural continuation and new beginnings of sorts. That is to say that I think it's a narratively satisfying ending that doesn't require future seasons to be good.

I sympathise with your jadedness. I feel like a lot of Netflix shows end their seasons especially unsatisfyingly, almost as if they're reasoning "if we wrap things up too nicely, we won't get another season", but then they get cancelled anyway. Regardless of season 2, I definitely think Blue Eyed Samurai is worth watching.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Contrary to the other poster, I think season 1 is full cliffhanger and I was disappointed that the season didn't feel completed. Maybe I'm just being hypercritical, though. Or I just want the characters to have a chance to rest, lol

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Well heck..now that we're at like 50/50 I'll probably wait, then.

[–] bananabenana@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I am pumped for the next season. The animation was also beautiful
