After spending years of her life training to become an expert swordfighter, Mizu finally sets out to find him so she can run him through with her blade. But with every soldier she cuts down, and her blue eyes already making her stand out amongst the people of Edo-period Japan, she begins to gain notoriety in a way that makes her quest for vengeance more challenging. </p><p>Along her journey, Mizu will make friends (and enemies) with a number of characters, such as an imperiled bride and a cook named Ringo (Masi Oka). Much like the original trailer from a few weeks ago, <em>Blue Eye’s </em>new trailer is mainly a highlight reel of Mizu hacking and slashing her way through underlings in beautifully bloody fashion from French animation studio Blue Spirit. If you’ve watched any revenge story (whether or not it involved samurai), you probably won’t be too surprised by whatever happens over the eight-episode season, but it seems like you’ll surely be entertained by all the violence. </p><p>Also starring Ming-Na Wen, Randall Park, Stephanie Hsu, and George Takei, <em>Blue Eye Samurai </em>will make its way to Netflix on November 3.</p><hr></hr><p>  <em>Want more io9 news?
