Yesterday I would have recommended Blue Eye Samurai because the first several episodes were lightning in a bottle. Unfortunately I watched the finale last night and it was such incredible trash that it ruined the entire show.
No clue what this guy is about, it's an amazing show and I don't have any problems with its finale
What's wrong with the finale?
My guess would be they were expecting a moral payoff, and didn't get it. Mizu's "Violence only begets more violence, I must let go of my revenge" moment. Especiallly since the episode or 2 prior really seemed to be setting up for it.
I was offput by it as well, but a bad ending is one that has nothing interesting to say, or something really shit to say, or that isn't believable in some way, not just one I hoped would be different. Plus, this story isn't over.
It probably is also done that way to continue the story in season 2 without the typical coming back out of “retirement“ trope. Like if she found peace and redemption continuing the story wouldn’t have made any sense.
I mean, there was plenty of hints that she wouldn't be letting go of her grudge the whole time. The whole parallel to the demon was a big one, but she even said that she might not come back for the sword.
I only had the indication that she was the type who will only find peace once she gets her revenge
If she does manage to fulfill her revenge fantasy, and then find peace, THAT I would find rather unbelievable. Living in hate and rage for that long, you can't just let go of it, regardless of logic.
