This looks amazing. And it is going to be a limited series to just cover the plot of the book and not drag it out. Looking forward to it.

The original mini series is still pretty great.

I couldn't tell from that trailer for sure, but it looks like they combined the characters of Mariko and Fujiko. I hope not, but I could totally see them pulling some shit like that.

Edit: Not seeing a Fujiko in the S01 credits. Not sure if that means they combined her with Mariko or if she just doesn't appear in S01.

Those aren't characters that should be merged.

Totally agree. Would be a serious mistake. It looked like Mariko was doing some fighting stuff in the trailer. It's been a few years since I read Shogun, but iirc, Fujiko ended up doing some fighting stuff, but Mariko never did. Could be forgetting things though

Oh shit, loved the OG series. Just got it on Blu-ray a while back since I hadn’t seen it in forever. Hopefully they don’t fuck this up.

Stoked for this.

This looks really good. I am cautiously optimistic because I want this to be really good...

The Sengoku period is one of my favorite moments in human history. I'm super excite for this. Hopefully we get plenty of black DEI actors!

It looks pretty solid based on that trailer.

I wonder how they handle the torture of the sailors at the beginning of the story.

I will be watching the fuck out of this.
Loved the original.

Don't see why not. The Japanese are well known for their embrace of other ethnicities, especially back then.

Here is a video of the history that this historical fiction is based on. Tokugawa Ieyasu is whom the original writer used to model the character of Toranaga after. The book starts shortly before this battle:

(There is a built ~ 1 min add after the intro, he has it timestamped to 2:00 for when the ad ends)

Enjoyable 1st episode.

loved the 1980s version will definitely check this out, didn't realize it was out already

its on FX too kinda weird, supposed to be crazy expensive. Wonder why HBO didn't snag it

looks like 2 episodes are out already, interesting the 4k HDR sources from torrents are from Disney+
