The house wives are all finer than Lady Kiku. Mariko, Ochiba, and Anjins consort

I stand by my statement. Fuji with minimal makeup looks better than Kiku wearing whiteface. Kiku wearing contemporary makeup is another story entirely.

I've been busy so I got behind, but goddamn this is good. Bit of a slow burn, but I imagine when shit hits the fan, it will be wild.

does anyone know the name of the tool that Anjin uses to aim the cannon @1:30 - 1:34? I think it is a navigational plotter tool with a protractor but I have no idea

Maybe it was something similar to an inclinometer.

The main reason that artillery was so devastating was the bore was loaded with chain shot.
Normally used by the British Navy to knock down ships' masts. I guess Anjin is holding one ready to load it in that scene |

Sheesh, rough way to go out. Fitting for that character though.

Things are reeeally heating up, gonna be interesting to see how they get out of this tight spot... but however they do it, it seems like Lady Kiku will have something to do with it

I wasn't a fan of deviating from the story/book that much but social media is all in a hoot about it

Man. That head crunching scene is the most believable head crunch I've seen. That was really good. I was almost proud of the kid. Until he yeeted himself out of this life.

Episode 7 is a bunch of b******* none of that s*** happened in the book. The Anjin isn't an a****** like that. Toronaga's son doesn't die like that. It's not even as oldest as son. They kind of f*** this up
