The Kill Bill song is actually called "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" so regardless of its association with Kill Bill, it absolutely fits right in with the theme of the show.

That song was the closing tune of a morning show I listened to devotedly in the 2000s in San Diego. Mikey Show represent.

Netflix has been producing some legendary original anime, lately. Castlevania, Arcane, Devilman Crybaby, Cyberpunk and Blue Eyed.

Netflix didn't produce Arcane, they only distributed it. Fortunately for us because there's no way it would be profitable, they'd have cancelled it. I don't know about the others though.

DUDE that comment re: Mistborn and “this is how Atium should look”: exactly! As much as I’d love a live action adaptation I just don’t think the magic system’s nuances could be captured as thoroughly and beautifully as they could with, say, this kind of animation.

@cconnelly7010 5 ай бұрын

You are in for one incredible journey. This show is fantastic - from the animation, the characters, the action, to the blend of historical and fiction - it really is a work of art. And no, it's definitely NOT a kids' show. :P So many shots throughout this series were breathtaking. I would pause the show and/or rewind it just to look at a gorgeous background shot again and again. Even the title cards are unique to each episode, and beautifully done. I'm going to enjoy watching your reactions to this show as much as I know you are going to enjoy it! 😊

@Toofast4005 5 ай бұрын

So glad you guys are finally watching this masterpiece! There's a shot in the next episode I want to screengrab and have on the wall. The art and animation truly look and feel like nothing else in the medium. When you've finished the show you can find a few videos on KZfaq that speak with the art director and stunt coordinator. It's well worth a watch but it has spoilers for later episodes. Enjoy the journey of the Blue Eye Samarui.

@anonmg1 5 ай бұрын

I’ve mentally narrowed it down to the three most likely possibilities, but am resisting the urge to guess which one because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything. Hopefully, if the moment you want is included in next week’s reaction, you’ll comment with a timestamp it so I can see if I’m right.

@lorihagens8329 5 ай бұрын

I’m so happy you guys are watching this show. Every episode is a work of art. The combat scenes are amazing. Definitely not a kids’ show.😝😉

@Hohum37 5 ай бұрын

Like Arcane, the animation is primarily from "reference" - i.e. animators looking at filmed sequences and then hand animating them. There are a few youtube videos where the creators are interviewed. "Big Vic Media" has three which are good. Also like Arcane, the animation studio is French.. but not the same one.

@wild_lee_coyote 5 ай бұрын

Speaking of hand made goods, the only way you can own a katana in Japan is if it is made by shita-kitae, or folding steel. A more modern blade made of homologous steel is considered a weapon. Where as a blade made by folding steel is considered art, and so you can own a piece of art. Hand crafted items are highly valued and although often a small part of the economy, japan still has a highly skilled tradition in handcrafted items.

@MrNathansdad 5 ай бұрын

A few things: 1) Best of last year was you reacting to The Expanse (Nerdy is wrong, Clarus is right) 2) At the end of the first episode i also yelled out "this show is so fucking good!" 3) Blades ARE sexy 4) Now i can see Nerdy chasing Clarus singing "peaches, peaches, peaches" 🤣😂🤣😂

@LyanneNinac 5 ай бұрын

Little trivia, but meteoric swords/blades did actually exist, even at that time period, they just were rare and considered gifts from the gods. The meteor would be made into amazing blades, as they were a better metal than the ones normally used at the period. You can find a few nowadays, but they are, of course, expensive. Just look it up a little, as this isn't just some crazy idea the show came up with.

@MishaHusnainAli 5 ай бұрын

This was an incredible show and the fights are absolutely top tier. So glad you guys are watching it! I'm really enjoying the I guess Arcane style of animation where it's so expressive that you can convey microexpressions and also allows for such cool effects with smoke and steam and blood to make it look really gorgeous.

@rawkmode6315 5 ай бұрын

This is such a great show, it blows me away how completely underrated it is. Just as a note, don't be too hard on Taigen for his post-engagement whore party. Prostitution was considered a completely normal thing in feudal Japan by both men and women, and if Akemi had walked in on that, she wouldn't have been mad or thought anything strange about what was happening, The Japanese of this time period had very different views on sex that are alien to Western eyes. In fact, in most respects, the average Japanese person in this time period was happier, better adjusted, and more fulfilled than we are today.

@iczorro 5 ай бұрын

Except for the whole, you know, rampant xenophobia. Only like 44% of our (voting) population is consumed by that

@MrRinani 5 ай бұрын

Prostitution is still very different in japan compared to the rest of the world, I saw a video of a street interviewer. They were asking young japanese women, if they considered hiring a prostitude cheating and 8 out of 10 said no.

Nice to see a couple who also likes to collect weapons. I personally have 2 swords, a practice wooden sword like we see in this serie,5 sets of throwing knives, 4 different Tomahawks, a set of Dark Knight Batman throwing stars, a pair of Robin throwing stars, a set of actual throwing stars, 7 karambits, 20+ various knives including one that is designed to become a spear with twistable removal handle, a pair of Sai's, and a crossbow with 27 bolts.

I think the reason the horses are kind of broad/thick isnt just aesthetic but it’s because most of the horse breeds “created” in Japan are pretty small and stocky in comparison to the European/middle eastern horse breeds we’re used to seeing in media + horse racing. The stockier breeds actually look a lot more like the wild horses currently/historically found in Asia.

i think the word you're looking for is androgynous. I dont think she's meant to be non-binary at all. But if you think of it a lot of young male characters in anime ARE often voiced by female voice actors so i admit i too was confused if they were going for a you male character or a slightly tomboyish female character.

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.
