Damn those women are hot. ;)

all that is great. How about that costumery, though?

wardrobe for this show is world class.

Yabu is wearing a Gorilla themed helmet (I hope we get to see him wear the mask too) and has a dragon embossed bronze breast plate. looks amazing

its very stylized and individualistic but maintains accuracy to the time period

Watched E1 last night; with my mom and she like it a lot. My dad taught her some Japanese when they were in med school, so she kept explaining what they were saying. Didn't want to burst her bubble and tell her I could read the subtitles, lol.

That landslide / liquefaction was HORRIFYING

Ya think?

Buntaro is going to try and screw them all over, he feels betrayed by Toranaga after almost giving his life for him

I think we should leave book spoilers out until the series is finished. They have changed some things around though and dropped a plot line so far I think.

I really liked the first episode too. Looks like a great series

Was this post directed at me?

Did I inadvertently spoil the plot?

Haven't read the book so I have no idea, was just guessing at it...

I will let it play out because confirming or denying would be spoilers. It wasn't directed at you though more like viewers like you who haven't read the books.

Just finished E2. I know, way behind. But just wanted to come in here and say this is amazing so far. The writing, cinematography, acting, everything.

It's like some of you have never read the books. :)

And yeah they switch some things around and dropped a few things. You're learning stuff that is revealed later but overall this is excellent. Probably the most disappointing thing is, and you're starting to see change, but the Anjin isn't so hostile.

Anyone else ready for a trip to Willow World?
