Akemi Is SLICK?!? | Blue Eye Samurai Ep 1x4 Reaction & Review | Netflix 

Remember when you thought this was a kids show?

Madame Kaji's voice actress is the voice of Mulan

Cannot fucking WAIT for episode 5

It's the Edo (Tokugawa) period; approx 1656.

If you like shows with a single season vision, then all of the Mike Flanagan shows on Netflix are amazing: Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Fall of the House of Usher are stellar and perfect levels of scary

When someone you're hoping will be a hero murders a young woman for their own benefit... But, perhaps it's worse. Kinuyo doesn't look like she's being mistreated, and didn't seem to want to die. My thought is: Mizu killing the bird and putting back with it's unhatched eggs is symbolic (why else would it be included?): Kinuyo is pregnant, perhaps by Boss Hamata, and the doctor is treating cramps.

I like Nerdy's call out about the intentionality of the show's creators around violence and sexuality. It is why I like it so much; there is subtext in pretty much everything on top of the overt coolness. The incense thing on Kinuyo is wasn't hot rocks, it was like a cleansing ritual I think. To like clear your negative energy and poor Kinuyo is swimming in evil so it kinda makes sense.

When Mizu broke her neck, my heart broke too. For some reason I still hoped she had a plan to get them both safely out. But this… it was the only way. And it was mercy. 😢

at 16:30 , how both of u go from 1 to 10 back to 1 with that laugh exactly at the same time is brilliant

I totally agree about stories that have a definite ending instead of just trying to keep going until they get cancelled. When I saw the ending of the first season of Arcane, I kind of didn't want there to be another one, because it felt like such a perfect ending. BES has been confirmed for a second season but I'm not mad at all.

According to this thing I read, it's the Tokugawa period. Which lasted until the late 19th century.

I am so happy y'all are watching this show. It is amazing. Nerdy called it so well when he observed that this show is so intentional about everything. The quality here is just off the charts. It was great to ride along as you reacted. Looking forward to your viewing of the next episode. Thank you for what you do here. Liked and shared.

I disagree about akeime not having any skills. I think the writers of this show have masterfully shown us from episode 1 what her amazing skill is. It’s the ability to read the room, and adapt to the situation. Very quickly. And manipulation to get what she wants. She had a whole speech and act put together for her dad when she wanted to ask him to marry tiegen. But the kid threw noodles in her face and instantly changed the situation. Then her dad got pissed and she recognized instantly that she needed to change tactics. Appeal to him in a different way. She manipulated him into telling her what samurai she would marry. After she was robbed, she adapted by riding in the shit cart. A high born Nobel, who has lived a life draped in fine silk. She had no problem hopping on a pile of shit, as long as it got her where she wanted to go. And then that didn’t work out and she had to adapt again. When she was dropped off at a brothel, she adapted and manipulated a man into carrying her anywhere she wanted to go. While being very naïve to the brutal world outside the palace walls, she has the expert ability to manipulate the situation to her advantage. I mean she made a fat man with ED ejaculate with out even removing her kimono. How much more metaphorical do want to get. There is SOOOO much depth to her character and just might be the most interesting characters on this show. In my humble opinion.

episode 5 (the best one imo) is going to be lit for u guys

I appreciate that the show isn't shying away from the fact Mizu's path is not heroic. There's a tragedy to how she's fueled by rage from a life of being called a monster for something she cannot control and in response she has taken a monstrous path that is harming innocent people. The fact Fowler is so cartoonishly evil makes it easy to stay on board with her desire to kill him, but revenge is inherently selfish and destructive and the show is highlighting the cost of it.

21:20 Nerdy is speaking from MY heart, here. I was religious at one point and the only thing I miss about it was being sure that people get what they deserve.

I knew you guys would love this episode. I never thought this was a kids show but I did NOT expect so much nudity and sexual content but it handles it so well that it didn't bother me at all (sometimes it does, just a personal preference). I knew if anyone would appreciate this particular episode it would be you two! I also cannot wait for the next episode, it's truly a masterpiece and I can't wait to see you guys take it in.

S1E5 is probably the best episode of a great season.

Episode 5 is the best single episode of TV I've seen in a decade. Can't wait to see your reactions!

Am I crazy for just legitimately being against revenge as a concept and not wanting _anyone_ to suffer, no matter who they are? (Yes, not even _those_ people.) Don't get me wrong, I understand the _desire_ just fine - I've imagined the nasty end of plenty of horrible people, sometimes for _very_ personal reasons - but on a rational level I just can't justify it to myself at all. I just don't _want_ to enjoy people's suffering (even if I sometimes do; I'm still human for better or worse) no matter what. Sorry for the rant, that "hell" comment just really hit a nerve for some reason.

God, I wish this show had as good of a reaction audience as it has .... itself

Have you ever considered watching the League of Legends cinematics? You talked briefly about Arcane, seasons and stuff, but if you're craving more... ARcane-esque, then keep in mind the show was built around characters from the League of LEgends game, and they have a lot of cool cinematics, the later versions of which tend to have some narrative behind them, granted they're short, but still cool! They also have shorts from their card game that introduces different regions and lands from Arcane's universe. It could be a fun way to immerse yourself in the world while you're waiting, as well as see the roots compared to where it is now.

The Princess is Little Finger before he got power. Having to use their own body and wits instead of profiting off other's.

It's 1600s japan

I appreciate that this show rarely did the whole, show a scene, and then *3 months earlier* or whatever. It's one of the most annoying tropes for me since I read a lot of foreign comics and a lot of them like to show a really cool scene and a badass mc or something shocking. Then *3 days earlier* for several chapters...

Bruh...she got only fans account

In such a grounded show, I felt like the appearance of the octopus was the writers walking onto the screen, staring into the camera, and asking, "You do realize hentai is WEIRD, right?"

I'm pretty sure this is an ATLA scenario. Like Book 1: The Irish Man, Book 2: The other white person, Book 3: The last two. Something like that. One of the four per season I'm assuming.

I Tamil movie please reaction gay's 😊😊😊😊😊

Cringe reaction 😂

the way fowler was drawn in the chapel was almost disney-esque

I Tamil movie please reaction gay's 😊😊😊😊😊

Next season is greenlit. There is a multiple season plan.

This next episode ranks in my top 10 favorite episodes of any show, ever, in my life so far. If episode 5, let alone this whole series doesn’t start winning awards. Something is seriously wrong with the system, more so than ever.

4:55 Madame Kaji is talking about "Position 12" and "Position 20", they're being used as proper nouns here.

Yea. A cliffhanger should be closer to "next week on ..." Otherwise it's more of an actual cliff to a bottomless pit.

It's the Edo era in Japan... Most of the things depicted in this episode probably did happen and was at peak in this era...

Feudal Japan, Edo period, idk what years but like 1600s I think?

It's already been renewed for a second season

Episode 5 is my absolute fave of the whole show, you are in for a treat next time!!

21:20 I *am* a religious person, specifically Episcopalian, and one of the tenets we believe in is that it isn't our place to hate sinners (ie Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin), nor for us to render judgement on their sins, since Judgement belongs to God. That said, I couldn't agree with you more that those that take advantage of the helpless (be it children, the disabled, the elderly, etc) absolutely deserve a special place in Hell. I know that makes me a less good Christian than I otherwise should be, but I just have to hope that God forgives me, because I dont think I'll ever be able to change that belief. Regarding them choosing to not show Kuyono nude, I really appreciated that as well. It seems like she was meant to symbolize 'Innocence', in the same sense as the bird that Mizu killed, and showing her nude (ie in the same light as all the other women at the brothel) would have demeaned her innocence, as well as taken away some of the impact of her sudden death.

Yeah if you're going to Madame Kaji's house, you gotta at least spend a few hours in the Shibari room or you're missing out.

14:11 "It's not true." *looks at Nerdy's face* 🤣🤣🤣

Huge gaps between seasons is why I stopped watching Venture Bros
