A mysterious swordmaster cuts a path of revenge through 17th-century Japan in an adult animated series created by Amber Noizumi and Michael Green.
renders particularly beautiful. The adult animated series savors the peal of clashing swords like it’s music, frames blood spatters like brush strokes, twirls around battling warriors like they’re dancers.
This graphic, gorgeous violence is what grabs a viewer’s attention first, long before we understand who Mizu is or what she’s after; one of her first acts, a few minutes into the premiere, is slicing off the fingertips of a man with the deftness of a master chef. But what sustains the series in the long term is its knack for crafting compelling characters and engaging drama, even if the end results land as more fun than profound.
In that rigidly homogenous society, Mizu cannot help but stand out. Try as she might to cover them with colored glasses or hide them beneath hats, her ice-blue eyes betray the mixed heritage that renders her an outcast, a freak, a monster. She also happens to be a woman, though she keeps that fact literally under wraps — binding her chest so that she can move freely about the country, in pursuit of vengeance against the four white men who were in Japan at the time of her birth.
