‘Blue Eye Samurai’ Creators Amber Noizumi & Michael Green On Working With Netflix Bring The Animated Series To Life
Amber Noizumi & Michael Green on turning a personal inspiration into an adult Netflix animated series with 'Blue Eye Samurai'.
After ruminating on the idea for Blue Eye Samurai for quite a while, Amber Noizumi and Michael Green had difficulty finding the right medium – until they decided the story needed to be animated in whole new style. Blue Eye Samurai follows Mizu (Maya Erskine), a young warrior driven by revenge as she lives as an outcast in Edo-period Japan. We do an episode where we have mini story told in Bunraku puppetry, but we wanted to bring something that felt very culturally relevant of the time and not use a modern-day artistic vocabulary.
