Whoever made the decision to react to this, THANK YOU. This is some of the best damn animated tv I’ve seen coming out of the west in a while. Y’all are going to love this. Edited to make sense
Fun fact, floorboards in Japan used to be intentionally squeaky and loud so people would be alerted if there was anyone breaking in when they were sleeping
The reason I think people are surprised that she is a woman is the idea one would dare behave like a man is so foreign to them. So their belief masks the oddity of it.
Or maybe its the more obvious reason. She looks, acts, dresses, and sounds like a man but just say shes a woman. At least Mulan still looked like a girl in the face and voice
@@jovi75 the creators confirmed she is a woman entirely. The creators are a mixed race couple, white and Asian, and they were inspired to create the show from making a character based on their daughter; a wasian girl with blue eyes.
Of all the reactors that haven't yet reacted to this show, it's you guys I have wondered about the most. The "reveal" at the end isn't that she's a girl...to the audience. Most people know she's a girl. The other people in the show don't know, so that "reveal" is that there is now someone in the show who knows what the audience knows. Also, it's meant to confirm that she's a girl to any member of the audience that was unsure or confused. It's not really a twist or anything.
7:00 your confusion probably comes from the differences in Bushido and religion. Samurai were expected to follow Bushido, where honor was one of the main tenets. Samurai were allowed to act freely against those who they deemed to dishonor them. However, Shintoism and Buddhism (the two main religions of Japan) both look down on revenge and holding grudges, where the belief is generally that holding onto grudges will not bring you true peace and is therefore unnecessary. Even in the story of the 47 Ronin, the Ronin were all sentenced to death for taking revenge for the master. But because their revenge was done in honor of their master, they were granted honorable death by Seppuku.
@@chrishaven1489 To split (complex, contradictory, somewhat mythologised) hairs, samurai are normally thought of as hereditary military nobility; ronin are samurai without a lord. Mizu is not nobility as far as we know, so she'd be bushi - a warrior. Stories take liberties though, to simplify the storytelling.
@@Hohum37 yes but the same could apply to knights, but most modern stories of knights have 'humble beginnings'. a certain amount of leeway can be granted in this way
@@dantesilvermine5160 It WAS underrated....until everybody hyped it up. It wasn't popular from the get-go. It took a while to get there through word-of-mouth
You know, I gotta say. I've already watched the full reaction on patreon, but the editor y'all have is so good that I'm here watching this just because I wanna see what he does with it! Roshi, Sheera, Lupa and Editor are such a good group, and what y'all do is so entertaining.
Finally! You three are going to enjoy this show! It's a very good show! Fun fact, the voice actor for Swordfather is the actor who played Shang Tsung from the Mortal Kombat film released in 1995!
I fucking lost it at the end with peaches. Edit: I think there might be a bit of confusion. It wasn't Caitlyn Arcane that got me, which was still funny. It was Ringo just saying peaches.
I was reading your comment and while laughing at that, their schedule came up at 17:38, and they had Caitlyn from Arcane as the picture, I laughed so hard.
Not really. Only in men. Taigen was in love with her before he knew she was a woman. And I can't remember any woman being blatantly attracted to her after figuring out she was a woman.
Voices if wondering who is who. The blacksmith is voiced by Cary-hiroyuki tagawa who played and voiced Shang Tsung in the classic mortal kombat movie and mk11 game. Also in the series Man in the High Castle. The princess is Brenda Song, who was the rich girl from suite life of zack and Cody and motion capture for The Quarry game. Voice of Mizu the protagonist is Maya Erskine. Rep not rhay big but it’s growing. She will be in the upcoming Mr and mrs smith show with Donald glover. Heiji shindo who works for the white guy is voiced by Randall park. The agent from ant man and wandavision. Also from the show Fresh off the Boat or Asian Jim in The Office. Ringo the one with no hands is voiced by Masi Oka. One of the mains on the shoe Heroes years and he was also in the movie Bullet train that you saw last year. The main who watches over the princess is of course George Takei. If ppl don’t know he is the “oh my!” Voice meme but also voiced a ton of roles and live appearances since he first got known from original Star Trek. And the white guy is Kenneth Branagh, known for the Agatha Christie murder mystery films like murder on printer express, death on the Nile, haunting in Venice and such.
I can't believe that this is going under the radar of the biggest reactors on TH-cam. This show is the pinnacle of Animation. Up there with Arcane, Patheon, Spiderman!
the things you see her wearing at 7:13 are slit visors i dont know what they are called in English so i call them slit visors lol they help people see like glasses help people see. in Haiti the natives on the Haitian side of the island used to make them
8:16 - Meteors/meteorites are typically less radioactive than Earth rocks. Typical radioactive materials are usually formed on larger masses like planets.
Lmfao when that kid called her mom a wh*re and said she offed herself i was briefly looking away n turned back so fast to having the exact same face/reaction as roshi, eyebrows and all 💀
First voice line from main character Roshi: "that's a woman" Lupa: "that's a woman" Sheera: "yeah thats a woman" So much for an end of episode "reveal"
the reveal is not for *the audience* . it's for the other characters so the story mechanic could work. i'm not an expert on story telling but i write and this type of _reveal_ is more common than you probably think.
What's so cool about this show is that it flips the otherness of being biracial. From a European/American POV, BES is "other" because they're half Japanese. Here, in isolationist Edo Japan, their whiteness makes them "other." It's such an interesting paradigm shift.
Glad you guys made your way to this series. I can't wait tonsee episodes 4-6 !!! Also, of note, in the time period, men could get some side action from those places w/onbeingndisrespectful tontheir wives. Of course, wives were also more like property. So, Tiagin wasn't flexing on those girls at the dinner, he was still loyal to his future bride, Akemi. It was culturally acceptable, as long as certain rules were followed.
OMG?? they way i yelleddd!! when i recommended y’all to watch this, i really didn’t think y’all would to be able to!!! I honestly hope this beautiful show gets more hype now😁
For the last couple weeks, I've been thinking "Why are Roshi & crew sleeping on Blueeye Samurai?" SO GLAD y'all are reacting to this. You are in for SUCH A TREAT!!
Blue eye samurai seem spectacular! ( 5:19 that funny as hell !lol 😂)17:44 I love "kill bill" and that song ! , It's was spectacular .the fight scene was brutal but epic ! (19:16 , 19:30 , 19:46 - 19:56 , 21:23 especially those parts ! )
After watching y’all react to episode 1, I had to binge watch the other 7 episodes and let me tell you y’all are in for a RIDEEEEEE and get ready to cry at some parts too 🥹🤺

SAME LOL
Blue Eye Samurai and The Brothers Sun are the two shows I need to see everyone reacting to now that One Piece is over

It's not so much a _reveal_ and more of a *anagnorisis* tbh
yeah, it's not a secret to us per se, but it's unheard of in this setting and Mizu would keep it that way@@roryasrorri701
It was a total surprise to me, I would have never said it was a girl!!!
Mizu dropping the weights in the fight was one of the best fighting reveals I've seen.

How is it underrated. It has 8.8/10 in IMDB and 100% in rotten tomatoes.
@12:40 Specially built "nightingale floors" were creaky on purpose as a sort of intruder-alarm like security system.
For every 50 ridiculous comments on youtube/insta/facebook, there's always one that drops some solid knowledge.
The floors creak like birds to alert against intruders. I went to the Meiji castle in Nagoya and all the hallways make that noise.
I love neat things like that
Same in Nijo jo castle. It sounded amazing.
"It would be nice if someone..."
Sword Father is kinda hilarious.

It's hilarious that the thumbnail for the show is just Caitlyn.
I think the best part about this show is how Mizu causes gay panic in both men and women.
Not really. Only in men. Taigen was in love with her before he knew she was a woman. And I can't remember any woman being blatantly attracted to her after figuring out she was a woman.
