Best anime I've seen in my life. Story and animation are both amazing. Check it out. Netflix.

Fun factoid: One of the artists was Brian Kensinger, a former Disney illustrator who became somewhat famous after The Force Awakens with his Calvin & Hobbes-inspired Li'l Kylo series:





He also has a pretty popular set of characters called Victoria & Otto:

Man, I wish I could get into anime. I open these threads and everyone is excited and I have no idea what I am reading. Are these shows a continuous story line or stand alone? If you had one to pick for a newbie, which series would it be?

But it’s not anime. This is a western developed animation about feudal Japan

I have two anime series under my belt, so I'm an expert.

Good style, good graphics, for adults not kids, bad arse ninja chick.

Just finished episode 6. What a good show. It’s Kill Bill mixed with Ghost of Tsushima. Simple story. Cool characters. Solid A+.

Made it to last episode before I had to call it a night. It's very good and as previous pointed out, Netflix really seems to have its shite together with animation.

Enjoying it immensely, which is odd since supposedly people like me (older straight male) are supposed to hate strong female characters. I guess it's because this one actually has earned her strength, is still flawed, takes damage, but is still a badass.

Binged it a couple days ago. I’ve only watched a few anime series, but this was stellar. Fantastic animation and very enjoyable story/characters.

Tried to watch. Just looked like an adult Japanese take on Mulan.

Watched EP 1 yesterday and was immediately invested. That normally doesn't happen with me and I am not an anime guy. This has that old western "moody gunslinger" feel to it. Feudal Japan is a great genre and the story moved well. This is not a kids show at all. Looking forward to watch the remaining episodes.

Really enjoying this so far. Pretty adult stuff too. Trying not to binge all at once.


* A bit surprised there hasn’t been any YouTube chatter about this. But it also took a while for one piece - live action to get noticed too.


*Speak of the devil, Critical Drinker - Blue Eye Samurai report is in.
