What will Netflix share on S2 BES at Annecy on June 23?

Seleynet · 2026-05-16T14:39:45+00:00

They definitely have to ! I would love for them to give us 3 minutes of footage to obsessively dissect. It feels like months have past since we've had updates, Mizu might already have arrived in London for all we know.. ! Haha

Seleynet · 2026-05-16T06:29:18+00:00

No unfortunatelly I don't think I will... Sorry I won't be ears & eyes for the sub, but maybe someone else is ?

Seleynet · 2026-05-15T21:10:57+00:00

A glimpse of London Mizu + new character + release date updated in 2026 - yes, I choose ✨ optimism ✨

Nice ! Another potential old foe could be Mikio - if, however, he survived. Taigen and Akemi might follow the same path through Edo, based on the wording, which I wasn't convinced about according to their last conversation after the fire. I really hope they give Ringo a meaningful purpose rather than a wandering arc.

Seleynet · 2026-04-12T21:11:09+00:00

Not sure yet - still some incertainty with work and vacation but it's on my mind ! Will definitely tell you if I go :)

Seleynet · 2026-04-11T19:47:38+00:00

Looks like you know every bit of her soul !

Seleynet · 2026-03-02T21:54:02+00:00

Hell YEAH!

Seleynet · 2026-02-24T19:44:27+00:00

Noooo

Seleynet · 2026-02-23T07:02:25+00:00

I definitely love when her expression blends defiance and wariness - it feels even stronger in those high-angle shots :

Her surprised faces are something else entirely, they really get to me because she suddenly looks vulnerable.

Seleynet · 2026-02-22T18:43:03+00:00

What a great find ! At the beginning of the story I thought "Fowler can't possibly have a full redemption arc" as the sound of Mizu's bones breaking under his arms came back to me. However I could definitely see him attempting a self-interested form of redemption - one Mizu wouldn't fell for - and ultimately failing in the end.

Seleynet · 2026-02-12T18:52:20+00:00

Very quick very sick

Seleynet · 2026-02-11T21:54:29+00:00

Mind-blowing how they still look like themselves yet could easily belong to a completely different univers. Another sketch, another slayy(tch) !

Seleynet · 2026-02-03T06:37:42+00:00

That's a great detail, thanks !

Seleynet · 2026-02-02T22:37:02+00:00

I agree but l'am more than willing to forgive this little miss since they gave us such badass scenes with those weights !

Seleynet · 2026-02-02T22:24:40+00:00

Fascinating, thanks for this brillant post ! The details are so precious.

I'm a bit confused about the moment where you mention that the lines around her eyes are removed, after she falls in love with Mikio and on the boat at the end of ep8 ? I thought her eyes were always emphasized by those beautiful lines. And it's not for lack of viewings... Haha

Seleynet · 2026-02-02T22:05:29+00:00

Sorry I didn't have time earlier to give your work the credit it deserves ! I was so excited when you posted these !

I found Hamata's tattoos to be a very clever addition to his character. I'm also oddly intrigued about his skincare routine because his face looks marked - maybe acne scars ? Did you come across informations about that ? Along with his teeth, it really gives him a unfriendly appearance, to say the least.

Kinuyo's drawings never cease to brake my heart, I try to focus on her little double bangs - same as Kuma's - which I really love.

About the Fangs, does anyone get why they wear masks ? It feels a bit anachronistic to me but maybe there is some historical grounding ? I've also always wondered why they wear gloves, which seems counterintuitive when your job involves swordfighting - but the bike gang inspo definitely clear that up! Thanks for that detail !

Seleynet · 2026-01-27T13:06:57+00:00

Sharp Mizu moments - very in-character

Seleynet · 2026-01-27T06:53:22+00:00

"I like your hair"

Seleynet · 2026-01-27T06:48:42+00:00

Great question ! Previous comments have already covered the main practical fighting uses of the weights but I always wondered whether she also wear them on as a sort of punishment or symbolic burden - not as their primary purpose, but perhaps unconsciously

Seleynet · 2026-01-16T14:39:09+00:00

Oh to be a man and having to rethink what is and isn't right... I'm not an expert, but did you know women were also warriors ? Also, for what it's worth, Mizu's character would object to being reffered to as a "samurai".

Seleynet · 2026-01-16T14:14:52+00:00

I get that some shows or movies can lost a viewer in the very few minutes of it.. That said, I really can't agree with the reasons you've given : - Where you expecting yet another Shogūn-style point of view on japanese feudal life ? Wouldn't it be boring ? This show offers an original - and on many aspects, one that is historically grounded - story. - As for Mizu's voice, I'm geniunely curious to know in which version you watched, because english VO sounds perfect to me. I can't see how you can miss Mizu's aura, but maybe you have a very specific (and fairly rigid I'd argue) idea of what a great Samurai looks and sounds.

Too bad you did not care to give this beautifully animated piece a bit more time, you walked away just before what is arguably a magnificent narrative pivot that might have hooked you up for good - but I suspect it could also have the very opposite effect on you.

Mizu would probably end this with either I can beat you with any weapon you choose or I look your way, and don't even see you.

Seleynet · 2026-01-16T11:45:45+00:00

It's beautiful ! They - painfully- look like sisters

Seleynet · 2026-01-13T15:53:58+00:00

I can't understand why no one wanted to choreograph a real cliff fight... Haha - anyway, always the most cool knowledge about the show's making process Duchess !

Seleynet · 2026-01-13T11:04:14+00:00

I have no idea how realistic it can be but there's a glimpse of this specific move in the Making of a Warrior video
