Mizu and Taigen must work together against a common foe in this Netflix clip from Amber Noizumi & Michael Green's Blue Eye Samurai.
We haven't exactly made it a secret that series creators, writers & executive producers Amber Noizumi & Michael Green's (Logan, American Gods) Blue Eye Samurai has been on our radar since the very first looks at the upcoming anime were released. And in the newest preview clip that was released, we're given another reason why it needs to be on our "must binge" list. Directed by Jane Wu with Noizumi serving as showrunner, the series spotlights Maya Erskine's Mizu, who seeks revenge while fighting the prejudice and patriarchy of her time. If it's a sense of action that you're looking for, then look no further than the clip below – with mortal enemies Mizu and Taigen (Darren Barnet) forced to become fast "frenemies" when the duo faces a shared danger.
