Do the samurai’s play any defense? I haven’t seen any in awhile

 

[Lukeyloo]

Watched instead of the second half. Very happy with my decision.

Did they boil anyone to death yet?

The first episode has had a bit of everything.. boiling someone to death.. a forced golden shower..

 

[Lukeyloo]

Saw somewhere it was compared to GOT. Any truth to that?

 

[tbonezone]

That’s lofty. But it is very well done so far. I’m skeptical about the fight scenes being great, but fingers crossed.

Definitely not for people who don’t like reading, though. They speak Japanese with subtitles.

It was either talk about this, our recent BMs, or whatever it is our players were doing on the court tonight.

This seemed preferable.

My father wasn’t afraid of the Shogun, but the Shogun was afraid of him.

While we’re at it. Total War: Shogun 2, great computer game.

100% subtitles??? Mixed?

You could always just not talk.

When any non-Japanese language is being spoken (Spanish, Portuguese, English) it’s English. But the rest is subtitles.

My wife is a subtitles/closed caption person; I usually am not. But it works. I think the show would feel weird if they were all speaking English. It’s just annoying sometimes that I can’t check my phone to see how much Syracuse is losing by while a Japanese person is speaking.

Well that’s just a misunderstanding of me on a fundamental level.

Thank you. Noted. I will solve for that.

the Portuguese is in english, the japanese is subtitled

 

[mark79]

Yep, I’m hooked. I like period, big film stuff like this. It has all of the ingredients.

 

[GoSU96]

Very good.

It's like Red October.

The Russians speak in English.

Alec Baldwin just mumbles.

how many people on this thread know that the original Shogun was an 80s mini series?

 

[tbonezone]

richard chamberlain was the all 80's mini series GOLDEN GLOBE GOAT. nominated for best actor CENTENNIAL 1979. won for SHOGUN 1980 . won for THORN BIRDS 83.

(fwiw it's worth my girlfriend binged the entire VHS thorn bird series in one night. she'd had them for weeks and i promised a friend i return them the next day. and she made it to work ! can't say i say any of them.

 

[CuseFan]

I did watch it in the 80s although barely remember it.
The new series is great!
