Blue Eye Samurai: The Great Fire of 1657 (2023)
I don't think that the final episode is THAT bad...
I see that many people are disappointed with the final episode of the season, mostly because it ends on a cliffhanger and doesn't provide a satisfying conclusion to the entire story. Although I can perfectly understand these complaints, I personally don't mind that it ended on such an open cliffhanger. As long as we're getting a second season, I'm sure that pretty much all of the unfinished plot points will eventually come to resolution. Many great series have seasons that end on massive cliffhangers - we just have to be patient.
As for the episode itself, it was just as epic and exciting as the rest of the series. I believe that all characters are staying true to their arcs and that the story is likely to be going in the right direction. There were a couple of moments which feel a bit off in terms of logic, but I can live with that, since the series has never been about sticking to absolute realism. I believe that episode 6 was still the series' peak in terms of epic absurdism and I was all down for it.
All in all, I'm satisfied and patiently waiting for the next season.
