Netflix recently dropped another banger animated series in the form ofBlue Eye Samurai.The animated TV show has received nothing but positive reviews from fans for a plethora of reasons. The show’s phenomenal animation is just one of those reasons.
More importantly, the series is an epic vengeance tale of a mixed-race samurai who wants to destroy four men, who made her an outcast during the 17th century Edo period Japan.

There is no doubt thatBlue Eye Samuraihas the potential to become arguably the best animated series of the year for Netflix. After all, the show is a masterpiece from almost every standpoint. Be it animation, dialogue delivery, or the plot,Blue Eye Samuraiexcels all around.
While it would be difficult to find an animated parallel to the series, Barbra Streisand’s movieYentlcan be compared to it from a feminist point of view.
Both characters go through a lot of struggle to rise in a society that is primarily dominated by men. Yentl is a Jewish woman who refuses to abide by the traditional role of a woman. Instead, she goes to lengths to study Talmud. So much so that she disguises herself as a man to further pursue her studies.
On the other hand, Mizu was discriminated against by society due to being mixed-raced. She seeks revenge against the male-dominant society by becoming a master of the sword. Moreover, similar to Yentl, Mizu lives in disguise as a man.
