"Blue Eye Samurai" impresses right at the first glance with its breathtakingly beautiful images. The series is with Arcane probably one of the most visually appealing series I've ever seen. This proves again that you can't lump all 3D animations together, as many series and anime fans unfortunately do - CGI can also be beautiful.
But the highlight of this series for me were Mizu's fights. Mizu just has such a damn unique style of fighting that every fight of hers almost looks like a bloody dance.
I've often read that many people think the writing of the series is incredibly good, but I can't say that about myself. The writing isn't bad because it just works - but it's not really anything more than that. The basic story of a marginalized main character who now seeks revenge is nothing really new and has been told countless times. So the story is interesting, but doesn't really show any new approaches.
There was also a bit too much eroticism in this series for my taste. Nudity can be really good when used correctly, but when someone appears in his Adams costume almost every episode, it's just too much for me.
