Surprised there isn't a thread on this but this show is legit fire.
From Michael Green the writer of Logan and BR2049. Episode 5 is the one you guys got to check out
I watched the first episode and although I found it visually interesting, the writing didn't exactly amaze me. I need to peep the rest and see how it develops.

Episode 5 is the best one writing and action choreography
Watched the first episode and it wasn't interesting enough for me to continue.
This show is visually interesting, but it's such a weird mix of almost YA writing with graphic violence and needless nudity, not to mention the tired tropes that they stuffed in a blender, and out came this premiere:
You've got the stoic samurai who's unwilling to take on the talky sidekick character, probably the most annoying sidekick I ever encountered, plus is dropped about a third into the episode, made to feel unimportant, only to show up at the final scene, at which point, I haven't cared for anyone in the story. Oh and the main character has a tragic backstory about the color of her eyes, and I found the reactions to her so over the top that I wondered if this was real or just your usual YA Fantasy writing.
You've also got the typical mentor that seems hard but is actually a softie, the cliche training montage with Kill Bill music, a forced marriage b-story, and a couple of bad guys written with such little interest in nuance that they are less like characters and more like caricatures.
Honestly, I'd give this another chance, if the first episode didn't feel like I ate a reheated pizza that I forgot in the microwave six days ago.
2/5
Might consider getting a Netflix acc if they have a Japanese dub cuz I’m not finding it online and the Eng dub is not it

i liked it plenty. even if you find the plot a lil cliche at points, its animated well and the fight scenes are well choreographed
main character reminds me of Jin from Samurai Champloo
This show needs more recognition !!!!!
Probably my favorite show of 2023
The story is sooo f***ing good
