The creators of Blue Eye Samurai have just revealed the true origin story of the Emmy-nominated show and it is important

There are many great TV shows that deserve Emmy nominations in 2024. In the midst of this Blue-Eyed Samurai has not only received several primetime nominations But also won three in the Creative category. The animated series is in full swing and I was excited to speak with creators Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, who shared their inspiration for the main character and the creation of the series. Get ready, because it's an important and emotional topic.

If you want a more detailed description, Blue-Eyed Samurai is a Cartoon series for adults on Netflix which tells the story of Mizu, a half-white, half-Japanese warrior who travels across Japan to find the men who harmed her mother years ago. But the story behind Mizu is actually interesting and based on real experiences.

The two creators are married in real life and I had the opportunity to speak to them after the series aired. Netflix's schedule for 2024. I wanted to ask about Mizu's story since she seems like such a strong character, and Amber Noizumi revealed that Mizu was originally based on her and Green's own daughter and the experiences she had after her daughter was born.

We had the idea when our daughter was born. She's almost 16 now because she was born with blue eyes. And I, looking at her and being happy about those blue eyes, thought, “Why would I be happy about having a child… with blue eyes? Why wouldn't I want a child to look Asian, like me?” And so we started thinking about Edo period Japan, how the borders were closed and what a child with blue eyes… what their life would have been like. And it just evolved over the years into this story.

Taking personal life experiences and turning them into fiction worked. Personally, I find the series as a whole to be one of the The best series to binge-watch on Netflix. It was also a huge success, which not only led to an extension of the second season, but several thirsty TikToks and edits online about the main characters because, well, of course – they're badass.

It's worth noting that Mizu receives a lot of criticism for her appearance and behavior in the storyline, despite becoming one of the series' best warriors, and a big focus of the series is the fact that she is of mixed race. Hearing that the background of this story has real-life origins makes it all the more interesting.

Additionally, Green told me more about the inspiration behind the Netflix series, noting that they also used many of Noizumi's experiences as an Asian woman “in the world” to craft the animated series' storylines, even though they are “universal” in tone.

And then there were just a lot of conversations about Amber's experiences in the world. And it turns out that sublimated anger is a little more universal than I certainly thought.

Producer Jane Wu told me what it was like to produce a series like Blue-Eyed Samurai which has a large Asian representation was “very satisfying” and also noted that the people in her community “also had interesting stories to tell.”

The end result is beautifully realized Edo period authenticity, a “unique show” (according to Wu) that's also one of the best animated series I've seen in a long time. long Time. But it hits even harder when you know that Mizu was inspired by Noizumi's real life experiences.

In a world where undervalued Netflix series are canceled too early, and we don't get the chance to see the stories continue. I'm so thrilled that this series has overcome that hurdle (at least for now) and can continue to give us insightful and personal stories.

Season 2 is still a long way off, but now we can watch the first episodes again — with a Netflix subscription if you haven't had a chance to see it yet. I hope the show wins the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program because I would give anything for this story and Mizu's journey to continue for many years to come… and then some.
