Really cool interview with the guy who plays Yabushige (best character in the show along with Fuji)

Hiromatsu was all in for his lord.

Toranaga with the long game and willing to sacrifice it all to protect it.

Show is damn good. Great acting.

Looks like the showrunners are putting him up for Emmy consideration as best supporting actor in a limited series.

I approve.

Is there just one episode left or what?

Two episodes, though it's hard to imagine how they'll manage to wrap this up in two episodes unless the finale is like 2 hours long or something. They stalled too much in the "middle" episodes.

2 things have not been of interest to me when it comes to Japan. One is the cartoon style which I never really liked. At the same time, I have great respect for the artistry itself, as it is so different from the cartoon form that I grew up with, that is, the Disney style.

The second is the Japanese porn. A long time ago when my wife and I spiced up our sex life by watching porn at the same time, Japanese porn clips appeared on the screen. My better half seriously questioned why the Japanese girls screamed and moaned so much, and the fact that the majority of the men had like micro dicks. She was right, Japanese porn is not that arousing.

Won't let me timestamp but 3:40 agrees with you LOL

Fuckin a, that was a heavy episode. Mariko really showing she’s a great actress, some phenomenal range in this episode. Hard to believe there’s only one ep left

 

[GSP_37]

Did the ending of that episode follow the original's story? If I didn't know any better, I'd guess the blast gave her mutant super powers for the finale.

In the beginning, I thought she was gonna be Hokuto from Street Fighter EX and kick all the asses. What a waste of the armored guards.

Man what a great show but final episode what a let down after all the buildup.
they didndt even have a final battle and the war basically ends as a footnote/summary
