“When we started this project, we made a commitment to take this very personal story set in Edo-period Japan and bring it to life in the most authentic and beautiful way possible. Our animators, historians, musicians, martial artists and voice cast made this a reality beyond our expectations,” said Noizumi and Green. “We are thankful to our entire team and to our viewers from all over the world who have shown such passion for Mizu and her path of revenge. Mizu has a lot more blood to spill!”
While plot details for “Blue Eye Samurai” season 2 are unknown at this time, we do have some hints of what’s to come, based on an interview /Film did with Noizumi and Green earlier this year. “[We’re] just getting started,” Green said. “We have [the] second season broken and approved.” Additionally, Green teased that “the world gets bigger” as we get into season 2. How that plays out, and what Mizu’s story becomes after the shocking developments of episode 8, we’ll find out soon enough.
The “Blue Eye Samurai” voice cast includes Maya Erskine, George Takei, Masi Oka, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Brenda Song, Darren Barnet, Randall Park, Kenneth Branagh, Stephanie Hsu, Ming-Na Wen, Harry Shum Jr., and Mark Dacascos. You can stream season 1 on Netflix right now.
