As a die-hard animation fan and someone who has been following the industry for decades, I couldn’t be more thrilled about this year’s Emmy Nominations, especially for the groundbreaking series “Blue Eye Samurai.” This show took me on an emotional rollercoaster, leaving me in awe of its intricate storytelling and breathtaking animation.


In 2021, the Emmy Nominations for Outstanding Animated Program boast an impressive roster of contenders. Among them are “The Simpsons,” “X-Men ’97,” “Scavengers Reign,” “Bob’s Burgers,” and “Blue Eye Samurai.” With such a strong lineup, it’s no easy feat to predict which title will emerge victorious. Each series left an indelible mark on the animation genre throughout their tenures. To commemorate the Emmy nod for “Blue Eye Samurai,” one of its esteemed animators has humorously created fresh artwork in anticipation of a win.

Pat Keegan is an accomplished animator who has contributed to notable shows throughout his professional journey. His resume includes hit series like “Rick and Morty,” “Big Mouth,” “Bordertown,” and “Paradise PD.” Exciting news for fans, as “Blue Eye Samurai” has been announced for a second season, with Pat Keegan confirmed to be involved in the production as a story artist.

Blue Eye Samurai Slashes Its Way To The Emmys

Last year, the makers of “Blue Eye Samurai” announced plans for a second season, which they’re optimistic will bring brighter prospects for their violent show. In an exclusive interview with ComicBook last year, co-creator Michael Green shared their ambitious vision: “We have a planned-out storyline for season two. Our ultimate goal, though, is to tell at least three or four seasons. We already know where the story ends, and we’re eager to keep going.”

The Emmy nomination for the crew is well-earned, and I can’t help but feel a strong sense of pride. They could have been recognized in the Drama Series category as well. #Emmy #Netflix #BlueEyesSamurai #Animation

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: Have you missed out on the thrilling adventure of Blue Eye Samurai? If so, you’re in luck! The first season is now streaming on Netflix. Here’s the lowdown from the streaming service: In 17th-century Japan, when contact with the outside world was forbidden and only a few non-Japanese faces were known to exist, I, Mizu (Erskine), was born. Raised under the belief that there were only four white men in Japan during my time, I’ve embarked on a quest to hunt them down, one of whom might be my father – the man who made me feel like an outcast with my blue eyes. But here’s the catch: women weren’t allowed to seek revenge back then, so I must hide both my gender and my distinctive eyes as I navigate this dangerous journey. Revenge isn’t an option for me, but I’m determined to uncover the truth about my past. Don’t miss out on this intriguing tale!
