Blue Eye Samurai has nabbed three major Emmy Awards wins in juried categories in Outstanding Achievement in Animation this year. Blue Eye Samurai first made its debut with Netflix last Fall and quickly took off with fans thanks to how unique of an experience it really was. The animated series offered a new kind of revenge story in a whole new kind of style, and thus it really hit its mark with both anime and animation fans as a whole. Taking this even further, the series has gone on to be recognized by the Television Academy in some pretty important categories.
Not only was Blue Eye Samurai nominated this year for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Outstanding Animated Program , but the Television Academy has announced the winners for the juried categories in the 76th Emmy Awards coming later this September. Being presented on September 7th, Blue Eye Samurai has won three Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation for its character design, production design, and storyboarding.
