If you had a chance to check out Netflix's DROP 01 last week, then you know that one of the highlights was an anime hitting this November from series creators, writers & executive producers Amber Noizumi & Michael Green (Logan, American Gods). With Jane Wu directing and Noizumi serving as showrunner, Blue Eye Samurai spotlights Maya Erskine's Mizu, who seeks revenge while fighting the prejudice and patriarchy of her time. Following up on the preview images (which you can check out below) & teaser that was released, we have a sneak preview to pass along that finds an outnumbered Mizu in a cliffside showdown with the fury of the Fang – and demonstrates the anime's amazing animation work.

This provocative and visually stunning cinematic series immerses the viewer in a world of vivid adult animation with a live-action edge.
