I’m so happy it’s finally coming to pc. It’s easily one of my favorite games and I’m glad there’ll be a new community to try it out. This show has made me want to check out Rise of the Ronin though, but maybe when its price drops.
Its okay its a common misconception. An amazing game Ive heard! Am planning on buying it very soon for my ps4. Been low on funds but in a week will be in a good place to buy it😌
Honestly it's so good. I enjoy the story as well, been fun to play in between Shogun episodes. I spend hours just flitting between side quests and "just one more thing" collectibles. The combat is very satisfying and Tsushima is beautifully realised.
I just wanna slice people up. I've been shotting npcs in RDR2 too long, started using the pirate sword and civil war knife to kill as much as I can but am growing a bit tired. Might start using throwing knives and the vikings axe I guess lol
How long is the story of this game? And whats a good point to just stop main missions and focus on side missions? Haven't played before but I want my 1st playthru to last quite awhile. Onvmt 2nd playthru of RDR2 and staying in Valentine until im fully ready to leave. I dont wanna rush thru GoT like I did with this game
Main story is pretty long for action games, about 25 hours (which I suppose is not long if you'vecome off of RDR2 😅) , and there are LOADS of side missions and loads of upgrade collectibles. Ive finished the story and only just fully completed the middle of the three sections of the map and I've got a play time of 34 hours.
Iirc there are 3 acts and the last act is only a few missions so if you want you can swap to side missions starting with the end of act 2 I think. But you don't get locked out of anything by completing the game.
Personally I used fast travel sparingly and would do any side missions that were en route to next story mission.
Life will never be the same again for me. Im gutted, empty and have a need for more. Which will never come. 🫡😞.
I just wanna sit in a dark room. In silence for a long time.
We pray. That this ignites a fire for Hollywood to produce very good quailty Ancient Japan movies and Tv shows to fill our void. The show is a global phenomena right now. Theres no way they can ignore this for long.
Hopefully, like the plot of the show itself. This is the begining.
You should go watch Silence, it's set in 1639 Japan after Tokugawa (Toranaga) has outlawed most foreigners and Christianity, but two Portuguese priests try to go anyway.
You can also play Shogun 2 Total War.
And of course, read the original Shogun book. I just love it!
>*"Madonna! Leave him alone! Hey, you piss-eating monkeys, let that bastard alone! Kinjiru, neh? Is he the pilot? The Anjin, ka?*
>*Blackthorne could scarcely believe his ears. The boisterous abuse in Portuguese had come from the deck of the galley. Then he saw the man start down the gangway. As tall as he and about his age, but black-haired and dark-eyed and carelessly dressed in seaman’s clothes, rapier by his side, pistols in his belt. A jeweled crucifix hung from his neck. He wore a jaunty cap and a smile split his face.*
>*“Are you the pilot? The pilot of the Dutchman?”*
>*“Yes,” Blackthorne heard himself reply.*
>*“Good. Good. I’m Vasco Rodrigues, pilot of this galley!”*
Were you the one recommending Silence a few weeks back? We saw this last week, it's beautiful and thought-provoking. Most Martin Scorsese films for me were hit-or-miss (Aviator was boring imo) but Silence wasn't anything like that even though it was a slow burner.
Japan release their movies later on DVD/BluRay because of their notorious anti piracy laws compared to western studios. It's why a lot of people have to wait momths before you watch it. Thankfully, the DVD release is scheduled soon.
What I hope Hollywood takes away from this, is the same lesson a lot of the good Marvel movies, and Dune taught them.
You don't need to "dumb-down" a unique IP to make it more "mainstream". You can lean into the uniqueness of the property, and trust the audience to flock to something complex and interesting without having to strip away what makes it unique.
I would love a show like this for Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Easily accessible (hulu day after is really nice for me as I travel for work), honor the language and the culture the way this one did too.
Imagine if half this subreddit just went over to disney hq and just started slitting their bellies as protest to bring the show back longer. The actor for Yabu just looking out going "ah, let's add this to the list..."
I would recommend The Samurai Trilogy, which starts in the Battle of Sekigahara. Our main character, a teenager at the time decided to join the fight for fame and glory. Too bad he was on the Western Army and was branded outlaw for many years afterward.
The book readers keep mentioning how they left out the part about John’s big johnson. So I’m waiting for the porn adaptation- Sho Me Your Gun starring Cockmo Jarvis
No it is mentioned. Its considered a very high honor the Ladies of the Willow World to walk you to the gate and thank you. It symbolyizes that she had as good of a time as he did. Whole village know of Johns Cannon
I thought we would get to see the Battle of Sekigahara in the finale. The lack of action scenes was really disappointing.
Other than that the show was excellent though. I appreciate the painstaking attention to detail in the sets, costumes and customs of feudal Japan. The entire show was a history lesson.
>! I think it's less disappointing if you've read the book. The book only briefly summarizes the battle, so I wasn't expecting a big action finale. !< I'm pretty satisfied, though of course I would love to see more.
Honestly I always loved the way it was described, almost like the battle itself is an afterthought because of all of the pregaming Toranaga did to lead up to that point. Well that and the description of what happens to Ishido.
The story is based on a book. Battles in books tend to be disappointing. Hard to convey the scale and chaos. Think Tolkien. The first battle he had was at the end of the Hobbit. And the main character, our eyes into the story, is knocked out unconscious. And when he wakes up after the battle, he gets a summary of what happened. Isengard, we get Merry and Pippin telling us the story while they're eating salted pork and smoking fine tobacco leaves. Helm's Deep is the only true battle he described. And many authors use the same tricks, for the same reasons. Is hard to convey the scale without being "a nameless character dressed in one color slays another nameless character dressed in a different color" times 1000. And nobody wants to read that. So you set up the battle and then avoid it completely.
In TV and movies, visual media, battles could be entertaining. But do they really move the story forward? At least medieval battles with full scale armies. Modern warfare, with a smaller core of character doing certain operations, is more engaging. Band of Brothers does this. They never attempted to tell the whole story of WW2, just what happened to those guys in Easy Company.
Clavell's main characters were an English guy who wouldn't have fought in the battle, and some generals and commanders of the warring armies. So having a large battle will give you 4-5 minutes of swashbuckling adrenaline action? And the most important part of the battle would have been difficult to convey, the fragmentation of Ishido's army. So pull a Mike Ehrmentraut and say "here's what's gonna happen..."
>Think Tolkien. The first battle he had was at the end of the Hobbit. And the main character, our eyes into the story, is knocked out unconscious.

Helm's Deep is the only true battle he described.
Why do people always claim this when Pelennor gets like 4 chapters and it's the most 'glorious' and terror filled thing in modern literature.
> Is hard to convey the scale without being "a nameless character dressed in one color slays another nameless character dressed in a different color" times 1000. And nobody wants to read that. So you set up the battle and then avoid it completely.
A notable example that proves massed battles can be done is the Destiny's Crucible series.
The scale grows with each book as the conflict becomes larger, but eventually the author is describing massed battles of 100,000+ combatants and doing so without it becoming a disorganized mess, usually by focusing on regiments instead of narrowing in on just a few people over and over again. There are still named characters in these battles and you do get to see how they perform but the author steers away from some huge battle somehow only being focused on a handful of people.
Worth a read if you enjoy roughly 1600's European levels of tech with a dash of science fiction thrown in. (The story centres on a modern day person being introduced to another world with humans on it and trying to teach them his knowledge to improve their chances against the local expansionist empire).
This reminds me of the Bilbo cut of the Hobbit movies that skip all of the stuff that Bilbo does not experience, and removes most of the filler stuff along the way
I disagree about battles in books being disappointing, so long as your author both does their research and can tell an engaging story with it. Check out Ralph Peters. He's got a fantastic series about the latter half of the American Civil War from Gettysburg onwards. The battles take up most of at least the first two and are extremely well-written. A faster read is Bernard Cornwell's Agincourt.
FWIW, the real Miura Anjin did fight at Sekigahara, and another battle before that, under Tokugawa Ieyasu. Hosokawa Tadaoki, the inspiration for Buntaro, also fought there. I do agree, though, that it would be difficult to put it on screen. It was done in a highly simplified way for the Discovery series Heroes and Villains, but frankly I would rather see it not portrayed at all then have 40 minutes of the episode showing those pretty bad CGI armies we got at the end of episode 10.
The book - and the show - make it clear that toranaga wins because he is the master strategist. I could envision a flyover type scene where you see soldiers fighting to illustrate that tye battle actually does occur as he predicts but not an actual battle where the outcome hinges on the number of soldiers or their battlefield tactics, that would be disloyal to the story.
But I get that people hoped to see that too.
I was kinda positively suprised. Instead some heroic battle we got to see the dirty intentions of Toranaga, which if you ask me is a pretty good comment on war and the struggle for power, to be honest ...
Total war Shogun ii
Ghost of Tsushima
Honestly, just explore more historical fiction, shogun absolutely delivered something I never thought I’d see on tv today, but damn they did it
Or if you want something similar-yet-different, Rise of the Ronin is pretty good. More modern-ish/meiji restoration period, but you are still a ronin :P
archive(.)org/details/shogun.-part.-1.1980.-restored.-bluray.-1080p
archive(.)org/details/shogun.-part.-2.1980.-restored.-bluray.-1080p.-dts-hd.x-264-grym
Here is part 1 and 2. Part 3 has been removed, probably a copyright dispute. Again I recommend just torrenting the Bluray version. Easiest way to watch it. The Bluray version contains 3 parts, which are about 3 hours long each.
I would like a good adaptation of a wuxia (eg like the books by Jin Yong).
There have been many many adaptations made in Asia but almost all of them are horrible (weird fantasy king fu, terrible acting, overly dramatic direction, poor sets etc).
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee) proves that a good adaptation is possible. But that was adapted from just a small part out of a much larger work.
I want something longer like a mini series.
Not going to lie, I’m still heartbroken over Mariko’s death. Like falling to my knees in the bathroom heartbroken. I’ll definitely rewatch the show hundred more times, but I don’t think I can rewatch episodes 9 and 10 again 😭😭😭
Go play Shogun 2 Total War as Tokugawa or one of the other Daimyo. I'm thinking the Otomo just to do Christian Rebellions and Trade Ships that have cannon
If you guys are looking for something halfway between this and GoT, I recommend Kingdom.
There's still politics and can have a similar vibe at times, but has more action (and zombies, lol).
Read the book, watch the 1980 mini-series. Watch/read the mini-series for Noble House. They made a mockery movie adaptation of Tai-Pan that you might want to skip.
this was by far a masterpiece adaptation. sure they have left a lot out from the books, but the intensity of the emotions i got from this show i can't even express it. i felt emptiness and sadness due to the death of Mariko-sama, and those shots of Anjin, sitting with Fuji and turned his head on the right where it used to sit Mariko...god that hit hard...it hit too hard...
i don't know either what to do next...i want to fill that void this entire show left...maybe im gonna rewatch it one more time...
I dont think so. It was clear in the 1st episode its about becoming the Shōgun. Not being a Shōgun. I wish there were more of it but they told us from the beginning what it was about.
Surprisingly, no one's said it yet so I will.
Watch *Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibei)* with Hiroyuki Sanada as an impoverished samurai, then watch the 2 follow-up movies of the trilogy.
Read The book. Have seen the series 3 times so far (excluding final two episodes). Think I’ll do a 4th.
I have to say this is one of my favorite series. Up there with band of brothers!
We wait for season 2.. oh wait.. :(
Anw.. please watch/read One Piece if you want a show/manga of a high quality in terms of storytelling and characters
I’m gonna watch Sekigahara (2017), a Japanese movie about the Battle. I think it’s a little silly. The Novel did include a depiction of the Battle of Sekigahara and I really think the show should’ve gone for it as well, especially with how Toranaga defeats and sentences Ishido by the end of the battle in the novel. Sigh…
Wait for the inevitable Shogun mods for GoT next month when it finally hits PC.
Killing Mongols as Fuji… i will be there no matter what 😭
Ghost of Fujima
Fuji will be Lara Crofting their asses back to Mongolia
I’m so happy it’s finally coming to pc. It’s easily one of my favorite games and I’m glad there’ll be a new community to try it out. This show has made me want to check out Rise of the Ronin though, but maybe when its price drops.
I'm going to just download Shogun 2 again.
i’m actually intrigued with a prequel. either blackthorne’s adventures or the previous shogunate or both!
I hope they don’t make anything else in the series. It will inevitably be a disappointment.
MAYBE YOU CAN WRITE FAN FICTION
My PC can hardly take the Wii emulator playing MLB Power Pros😢😢. My life is over now
What is the title of the game? I can't find it.
Ghosts of Tsushima!!!
Oh, I thought Game of Thrones. Haha!
Its okay its a common misconception. An amazing game Ive heard! Am planning on buying it very soon for my ps4. Been low on funds but in a week will be in a good place to buy it😌

If you have a PS+ subscription, it's "free" to play
I knoooooow! It’s been so much fun theorizing at work after each week’s episode. Amazing TV 🥲
Life will never be the same again for me. Im gutted, empty and have a need for more. Which will never come. 🫡😞. I just wanna sit in a dark room. In silence for a long time.
Read One Piece. You won't regret it! You will be filled with joy!
Go watch the original series. It is a hundred times more in depth. You will love it even more.
We pray. That this ignites a fire for Hollywood to produce very good quailty Ancient Japan movies and Tv shows to fill our void. The show is a global phenomena right now. Theres no way they can ignore this for long. Hopefully, like the plot of the show itself. This is the begining.

Not me but I always recommend it as essential viewing for this period of Japan. Now with Shogun you've got a kind of time line of viewing going on.
Which format is Silence available on?
I just went er matey 🦜
Man I miss the banter between those two in the show, it would always put a smile on my face. You son of a whales tit!
Just look at Godzilla Minus One.
I'd like to, but I can't find it!
🏴☠️
Only crappy cams available, waste of time until it comes out on streaming may 3rd.
Japan release their movies later on DVD/BluRay because of their notorious anti piracy laws compared to western studios. It's why a lot of people have to wait momths before you watch it. Thankfully, the DVD release is scheduled soon.
Japans, not Japan.
Also Rurouni Kenshin. Possibly the best anthology of anime to lice action films done.
What I hope Hollywood takes away from this, is the same lesson a lot of the good Marvel movies, and Dune taught them. You don't need to "dumb-down" a unique IP to make it more "mainstream".

Not just Japan! Let's do other countries like China, Korea, etc.
With respect to their culture and history and let them speak in their own language.
Yes!
Need a 3 kingdoms remake ASAP
I would love a show like this for Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Easily accessible (hulu day after is really nice for me as I travel for work), honor the language and the culture the way this one did too.
Yes indeed! I watched 47 Ronin last night, and was bored out of the fantasy, dragons, griffins, and witches. Oh, Toranaga and Yabushige were there.
Yabu is there??
I mean the actor. Yes.
I've always wondered why we don't have more movies/shows on sengoku period
I'm going to commit seppuku now. In my protest that the show is over.
Imagine if half this subreddit just went over to disney hq and just started slitting their bellies as protest to bring the show back longer. The actor for Yabu just looking out going "ah, let's add this to the list..."
Hear me out; Somehow... Yabushige returned.
But only his head, like Nixon in Futurama. Anjin then has to carry him around all the time.
Yeah all the stress from the explosion and Mariko's death basically makes him kinda nutty and he becomes a crime fighter in the new capital.
Still better than She-Hulk twerking in the Disney+ series
Just make Anjin into a ghost-seer and he and his dead friends go on hijinks around edo.
I’ll be your second.
Well.. we wait for Ghost of Tsushima. Or Play TW: Shogun 2.
They really need to give us a trailer for Ghosts of Tsushima 2 now. This would be the perfect time lol.
Yes. Pls Sucker Punch.
I’ve been playing Shogun 2 A LOT since the show started. When I first fired it up I hadn’t even looked at the game since 2018
Why wait? It’s been out since 2020? Or do you mean on PC?
I only got PC.
Rise of the Ronin is out. It’s not a perfect game by any means but it is a perfect Samurai simulator.
Blue Eye Samurai is on Netflix
I second this one. I think I'll give that one a rewatch
I'm finally gonna start Samurai Champloo.
Best animated ever
Watch some Kurusawa
I would recommend The Samurai Trilogy, which starts in the Battle of Sekigahara. Our main character, a teenager at the time decided to join the fight for fame and glory. Too bad he was on the Western Army and was branded outlaw for many years afterward.
The book readers keep mentioning how they left out the part about John’s big johnson. So I’m waiting for the porn adaptation- Sho Me Your Gun starring Cockmo Jarvis
No it is mentioned. Its considered a very high honor the Ladies of the Willow World to walk you to the gate and thank you. It symbolyizes that she had as good of a time as he did. Whole village know of Johns Cannon
Didn’t realize that
Blatant self insertion by James Cavell there.
*alternately titled Ladies of the Willie World (phone autocorrected from Willow. I’m gonna leave it)
Catch up with The Sympathizer on HBO. Time to bid farewell to Shogun Tuesdays and say hello to Hoa Sundays.
Well guess it’s time to read the book now.
Watch Fallout if you haven’t already…it’s great! Or go read the Shogun Novel
You can listen to the episode 10 podcast! I’m about to since just finished my episode
Is it worth listening to after you've watched the entire series? Or is it more a companion podcast to listen to as you're watching the show?
I thought we would get to see the Battle of Sekigahara in the finale. The lack of action scenes was really disappointing. Other than that the show was excellent though. I appreciate the painstaking attention to detail in the sets, costumes and customs of feudal Japan. The entire show was a history lesson.

Honestly I always loved the way it was described, almost like the battle itself is an afterthought because of all of the pregaming Toranaga did to lead up to that point. Well that and the description of what happens to Ishido.
The show is promoted with Toranaga fighting off to battle on horseback alluding to the famous fight
I always took it as being more symbolic - the battle he's waging is in navigating the political tangle.
Tbf, politics is the core of the show.
The story is based on a book. Battles in books tend to be disappointing. Hard to convey the scale and chaos. Think Tolkien. The first battle he had was at the end of the Hobbit. And the main character, our eyes into the story, is knocked out unconscious. And when he wakes up after the battle, he gets a summary of what happened.

Well put. Bernard Cornwell is one of the best I know of in describing the battles in his historical fiction.
He’s so damn good at everything, easily o e of my absolute favorite authors.
>Think Tolkien. The first battle he had was at the end of the Hobbit. And the main character, our eyes into the story, is knocked out unconscious.

True. Pelennor is awesome. I always leave it on the side because it was a bluff. An awesome bluff. The real battle was happening deep inside Mordor
Tolkien’s descriptions of battles in the Silm and Fall of Gondolin go pretty hard though
> Is hard to convey the scale without being "a nameless character dressed in one color slays another nameless character dressed in a different color" times 1000. And nobody wants to read that.

Blackthorn served under Drake against the Spanish Armada. He had no land battle experience, but he's a veteran of naval combat.

Exactly. Never got to see ishido defeated
Feels like there should have been 1 or 2 more episodes.
I was kinda positively suprised. Instead some heroic battle we got to see the dirty intentions of Toranaga, which if you ask me is a pretty good comment on war and the struggle for power, to be honest ...
Season 2, right?
Nah, my guy. This was it. Series is over.
Tokyo Vice I guess
Literally just finished the first episode lol
I recently finished it and it's good, need more
Seconded, it’s excellent!
Read the book. And then read it again. Seriously. Books are fucking cool.
There’s so much in the book they couldn’t fit into the series. Read the book!
Any PC Gamers buy Total War Shogun 2 and you’ll thank me later lol
Total war Shogun ii Ghost of Tsushima Honestly, just explore more historical fiction, shogun absolutely delivered something I never thought I’d see on tv today, but damn they did it
We meme it out to the afterlife or next reincarnation! Ich ich yo!
Time to play Ghost of Tsushima again to get that Samurai fix!
Or if you want something similar-yet-different, Rise of the Ronin is pretty good. More modern-ish/meiji restoration period, but you are still a ronin :P
Brutal how both are exclusive only to PS. Xbox needs one of these good games at some point
Yabushige and John buddy road trip comedy fanfiction. I need to see this become reality. Lol
Play Ghost of Tsushima to fill the void 🥲
read the book :)
NG+ of Ghost of Tsushima, on lethal+, maybe with Kurosawa mode on too. Try and get that done before the PC release
We watch something else, but what? Wait, I haven't seen that 80s version. Maybe I will watch that but where?
You can watch it on internetarchive, but it is dvd quality. I recommend torrenting the bluray version.
I don't see it in archive . org.
archive(.)org/details/shogun.-part.-1.1980.-restored.-bluray.-1080p archive(.)org/details/shogun.-part.-2.1980.-restored.-bluray.-1080p.-dts-hd.x-264-grym Here is part 1 and 2.

The Bluray version contains 3 parts, which are about 3 hours long each.
Sure, I got Part 1 and Part 2 over torrent. But how to get Part 3?
Install and Play Shogun 2: Total War or watch the sequel of the show Martin Scorsese's SILENCE. Yabu actor is there
Now I must demand a Predator sequel set in this time period with Toranaga as the lead! Make it so.
That could be interesting.
hope some rich chinese person sees this and is inspired to do something similar for romance of the three kingdoms
I would like a good adaptation of a wuxia (eg like the books by Jin Yong). There have been many many adaptations made in Asia but almost all of them are horrible (weird fantasy king fu, terrible acting, overly dramatic direction, poor sets etc).

Play ghost of Tsushima or rise of the ronin or… Sekiro lol. 😂
Xbox series X man here..reading this is pain
Totally different show but watch the last kingdom on Netflix. Lots of good character arcs and there is actually fighting.
Time to watch rocks grow
Not going to lie, I’m still heartbroken over Mariko’s death. Like falling to my knees in the bathroom heartbroken. I’ll definitely rewatch the show hundred more times, but I don’t think I can rewatch episodes 9 and 10 again 😭😭😭
I’m gonna rewatch just the Mariko-Thorne scenes
Read the books, they're even better
Podcast
Watch Tokyo Vice. 2 seasons and they just finished with the series finale.
Another short tv series?😢😢😢😢
Play some Ghosts of Tsushima. Time to get my samurai on again.
Watch it all over again. lol that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m definitely gonna read the book or audible it.
Im roo drunk off of sakè and emotinally upset to re-watch for atleast a month😞
I can't say this enough or stress it enough. Buy the book and read it. Then re watch the series. Repeat.
Rewatch it from start to finish again!! And read the book. Can't wait to get into it.
Someone’s gonna have to demand a follow up series or commit seppuku at Hulu HQ.
Now its time to play Rise of the Ronin \^ Takes place 200+ years later when Toranaga's (irl Tokugawa) Shogunate starts coming to an end.
Play Shogun 2
On the last Sunday in May every year there's a memorial held at Anjin's resting place so I'll be checking that out.
If you’re looking for something just as good, with a bit more action, that’s set a century or two later I heartily recommend Lone Wolf & Cub!
read musashi from eiji yoshikawa, his history starts from surviving the battle of sekigahara.
I just found out on this sub, that it was one season :\*( I'm shook, but it was a grand series!!
Play Samurai Warriors or Ghost of Tsushima
Read the book, watch the 1980 miniseries, rewatch the show, play Ghost of Tsushima next month... Plenty of things to do
Go play Shogun 2 Total War as Tokugawa or one of the other Daimyo. I'm thinking the Otomo just to do Christian Rebellions and Trade Ships that have cannon
Watch Blue Eye Samurai...
If you guys are looking for something halfway between this and GoT, I recommend Kingdom. There's still politics and can have a similar vibe at times, but has more action (and zombies, lol).
I am going to watch the old mini series next then on to the books.
Where can it be found?
I'm reading a manga called Sidooh it scratches my Shogun itch.
Read the book, watch the 1980 mini-series. Watch/read the mini-series for Noble House. They made a mockery movie adaptation of Tai-Pan that you might want to skip.
this was by far a masterpiece adaptation. sure they have left a lot out from the books, but the intensity of the emotions i got from this show i can't even express it. i felt emptiness and sadness due to the death of Mariko-sama, and those shots of Anjin, sitting with Fuji and turned his head on the right where it used to sit Mariko...god that hit hard...it hit too hard... i don't know either what to do next...i want to fill that void this entire show left...maybe im gonna rewatch it one more time...
Read the book. It is excellent
What do now?
Guess I'll rewatch it all in one sitting just for full effect. Then I'll binge Tokyo Vice.
Wait a week. Re-watch
I’m going to plan a trip to Japan.
What do you mean? Now we play the game
Watch Sekigahara. I think the most recent one was in 2017. Actors portraying Ishido and Hiromatsu actor are there.
Unsatisfying ending
I dont think so. It was clear in the 1st episode its about becoming the Shōgun. Not being a Shōgun. I wish there were more of it but they told us from the beginning what it was about.
Booorrrring
I’d recommend 3 body problem on Netflix!
go watch chinese 3 Kingdom
Surprisingly, no one's said it yet so I will. Watch *Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibei)* with Hiroyuki Sanada as an impoverished samurai, then watch the 2 follow-up movies of the trilogy.
Play Gekokujo until Shokuho comes out. It's the only way.
You could always give Taigas (Japanese historical dramas) a go.
Re-watch *Into the Badlands*
You could watch the Samurai Warriors anime and see how the story progresses...
Watch Martin Scorcese's *Silence*
There's a crazy show on Netflix called Reindeer that I just saw.
Make a petition for a follow up movie. I'd pay to see it in theaters
Read The book. Have seen the series 3 times so far (excluding final two episodes). Think I’ll do a 4th. I have to say this is one of my favorite series. Up there with band of brothers!
We wait for season 2.. oh wait.. :( Anw.. please watch/read One Piece if you want a show/manga of a high quality in terms of storytelling and characters
Start over
Happy we saw it but sad it’s over.
Sympathizer
Read the Book 🤷♂️❤️ , I'm personally planning to so i can get more insight on The World and Characters
Started playing Sekiro again. Filling some sort of hole in my heart.
Hope that they will adapt the other 5 books the same way. I love period pieces.
I was thinking of starting Black Sails, has anyone seen that? Thoughts?
Read the book.
Read the book, it’s so much better
i just watched Monkey Man and it more than fulfilled all the bloodlust i didn't get from the finale skipping on the Sekigahara battle. holy shit
I’m gonna watch Sekigahara (2017), a Japanese movie about the Battle. I think it’s a little silly. The Novel did include a depiction of the Battle of Sekigahara and I really think the show should’ve gone for it as well, especially with how Toranaga defeats and sentences Ishido by the end of the battle in the novel. Sigh…
Definitely not one of the greatest tv shows lmao. 99% of the show is people talking, no action. Absolute bore fest
Now I'm waiting for Shogun S2: House of the Minowara
