The level of dedication is as fierce as the action.

[@splittingvoid7923]

Scammers.. Advertise with posters highlighting sengoku jidai war themes.. In Reality its a politically boring show with unnecessary drama..

[@agisits1]

What a stunning TV show, less action but full of unpredictable plot, make our brain continue guessing what is next and next... Hopefully FX will highly consider continuing with season 2. Bravo....

[@emilio1969]

Are there any plans to make GAI JIN as well?

"we give her plenty to play with" it's been 10 yrs since G0T s4 enough with the BTS replacing actual film footage enjoyance already! i thought you was gonna end HBO, not try to play their game () you gave us next to NOTHING in terms of naginata plays.

[@iyi553]

1:34 I would like to briefly explain why the wives and daughters of samurai families at that time were trained in the martial art of using "naginata" instead of a sword or spear as a culture. In order for you to control a sword or spear on the battlefield, you need both big pulling forces and big pushing forces, but the main pulling force is enough for you to control the naginata. In addition, the grip of the naginata is in the shape of a long stick, which makes it possible to change the grip position freely, and it is possible to increase the rotation speed of the naginata’s tip. In other words, even with a minimum of input, a weapon developed to produce the same output as a sword or spear is the "naginata".

[@lyrilljackson]

ok sure but only killed 2 npc out of the pack which were told not to hurt the princess and she fell on her own knees. was just cringe.

[@terraruins]

​@@lyrilljacksonbecause it's realistic, no way mariko in that clothing can actually kill more than 2 samurais that have guarding castle as a job. She is not superhuman

[@khaii13]

@@terraruins and even then, I doubt she killed anyone; upon rewatch she only hit the two with the butt-end of her naginata. Probably trying her best not to kill anyone and give them a "justified reason" for them to fight back with lethal force; as her mission was to either die in protest or die in an unlawful or despicable manner.

[@Blisterdude123]

If this series don’t win a butt load of awards, CRIMSON SKY!

[@grandmufftwerkin9037]

I'm really hoping that this series encourages a new generation to read Clavell's novel of the same name.

[@iyi553]

FX Networks, please release "The Making of Fuji-sama". We want to watch the video Moeka Hoshi is preparing for Fuji-sama.

[@iyi553]

2:15 This swordsmanship is a martial art called "Iai” or "Iai-do”. In addition to arm strength, the speed of the sword and the flexibility of the arms and wrists are required. This scene would become a famous scene in Iai, comparable to the final duel scene in Kurosawa's film "Yojimbo (1961)”.

[@scarletscarlet800]

The last guy who bow to Mariko before meet his death always brings a mist in my eye, as did Buntaro who bow before Toranaga on the dock. There something poetic about it. It's honorable, sad, tragic and stupid all at same time.

[@guns2317]

2:16 probably my favorite action, brutal efficiency and BAM! two guys down.

[@danzafrir2900]

My fav remains the assassin attack in episode 2!

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

Shōgun will be hard to top in 2024! I can't applaud the cast & crew enough for bringing this time period to life.

[@MuchGrooove]

Absolutely spectacular show. I've been telling everyone that I can that they NEED to see this masterpiece. Bummed that it's over already but I'm ready to start it from the top just to experience all the details again.

Shogunの殺陣は本当に素晴らしかった。 ハリウッド映画にありがちな、全身でクルクル回りながら刀を振り回したり、それをジャンプして避けたりする “派手に見せるための踊りのような格闘”だったら台無しだった。

[@user-qt3mc2de1v]

本当ハリウッドにありがちな日本刀を無駄にクルクル回すアクションには本当萎えるよね あと鞘から抜く時にシャリィィンみたいな謎の金属音とか付けがち

the show was so perfect.

[@Reader_curiosity]

After finishing watching the episodes, I can say that the very amazing Shogun series is the best series in 2024.

[@terraruins]

I really like how there's no superhuman scene in battles here. Mariko,otnumbered against male guards, ofc will lose, she's not superhuman, and yet we all can feel that she actually accomplishes something greater and relate to her frustration as a human.

[@HarshaP217]

it indeed was a full on entertainment!

[@soldum_squash]

SHOGUN、大変楽しめました！ 失礼ながら、ハリウッドがここまで日本に寄せた作品を作る気があったのだなと…。 SHOGUNを観るまで、ハリウッドは日本の表面上の文化にしか興味ないと思ってたんで😅 以下、余談です。 日本の史実を元にした時代劇は、合戦が一番の見所となります。 しかしSHOGUNではそれがなく（奇襲はありましたが）、虎永の策略に焦点を絞っていたので、合戦を期待した人にとっては消化不良となるかもしれませんね（時代劇慣れしてる日本人には特に多かった印象です）。 もちろん作品の意図は理解できますが、私も物足りなくて、合戦や勇ましいBGMがある時代劇を観て補いたくなりました😅 たとえば大河ドラマの「秀吉」は、OPだけでも時代劇を観た満足感を覚えます。 2001年公開の陰陽師は、主演である安倍晴明役の野村萬斎さんが狂言師で、日本の伝統芸能に携わる人ならではの話し方や所作の美しさが見どころのひとつになっています。 ちなみに、いずれも真田さんが秀吉では石田三成役、陰陽師では道尊役として出演されています。 主観に過ぎませんが、とりわけ時代劇は、BGMや役者一人で作品のイメージを大きく作り上げてしまうので（実在した有名な人物を演じるのもあるので）、そういった点も着目して作品を観てみると面白いかもしれません。 あとこれはリクエストですが、日本人キャストにインタビューで、おすすめの時代劇を聞いてください！ そしてそれを、HuluやDisney+で配信してください！ ネット上でおすすめの時代劇について話題になってましたが、ファンタジー侍のハリウッド映画を勧めている人がいたので😢 ラストサムライも日本人からすると違和感あるんです😔

[@inoko3423]

うわー。舞台裏を見て益々この作品の素晴らしさが理解できました！

[@dandansfu]

if its Hollywood, we will only see main character fight and fight for 30 min with everyone all slash/guard at same side.

[@bayupran]

Too bad that there won't be a season 2.

[@Jakub8402]

Shame that they not split book history for 2 or even 3 sezons of show. There is material for this and even could add more.

[@CHoffyC]

To not show the battle of Sekigahara was mind boggling...the entire show was leading up to that battle and then Nahhhhhh....lol ridiculous

[@DeepHouseUruguay]

Allow me an idea, it's fine that there isn't a 2nd season but they should make a movie, one or 2 that gives the final idea of ​​the series. By the end of the book, we do not get to see the ascension of Lord Yoshi Toranaga as Shogun. And the great fight of Sekigahara. So why not take it to the movies? It would be absolutely fabulous worldwide. A movie that culminates the series!

[@bjt0056]

"Shogun was never meant to be about battles." What was the first thing talked about in this video?

[@adibzinnurine7917]

Je vois enfin pourquoi la nouvelle émission de Shogun est bien mieux que l’émission de 1980.

[@tikiiz]

if there was another 2 more seasons, i can imagine the fight/war scene be rediculously epic

[@Diodarma]

make a season 2, it will be even more exciting.

[@MajSolo]

Have not read the book but did Mariko actually do something like fight other samurais with spear the womens weapon. It was not in the original TV series back then.

[@gn-z1130]

I'm sure Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune would have been impressed.

[@bethtrinh9194]

Make a season 2 PLEASE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ShiroiTengu]

The story is told. Only one series was always the plan and all that was needed.

[@majemaje0805sweetvoice]

The novel ends, but the history of Japan is interesting from here on out.The battle at Sekigahara with Ishido, a grand location similar to Game of Thrones, thousands of extras, and a bloody battle scene alone could make a second season. In season 3, the battle of Ochiba (Yodo-dono) who turned around and led Toranaga to victory in the Battle of Sekigahara, and his son fights Toranaga at the impregnable Osaka Castle, the winter camp, the battle of the summer camp, and the novel is written in a foreign country. Although the original author is a human being, starting from season 2, Japanese historians and talented screenwriters selected from Japan will be involved in the production, so the Japanese culture will be doubled.In season 2, Ochiha will be played by Fumika Nikaido, who will be the main character. It will be interesting because he will be the main character along with Hiroyuki Sanada.The Battle of Sekigahara, the Winter Siege, and the Summer Siege will reach the climax in history. Also, Mariko-sama and Yabushige, who passed away in season 1, will appear in flashback scenes, so they will likely appear in season 2 as well. Seasons 2 and 3 are likely to have a larger global audience than season 1. Please consider making a season 2.

[@emilio1969]

Are there any plans to make GAI JIN as well?

[@yazal9884]

finale could have been so much better, underwhelming

[@OliverHollingdale]

Hey... You are missing the Battle... The ending was so flat... The Last Samurai had the special something, Shogun although well made, you did not give an audience a great pay off... Marikos death was just glazed over... Barely and inconvenience

[@jenkins5265]

Agree to disagree. I originally didn't like it either, but the more I think about it, the more the ending made sense. It did feel anticlimactic but I still cried, laughed and thoroughly enjoyed it. Last Samurai, although it had a great ending, had a very basic white saviour narrative with standard emotional payoffs. It's a Very enjoyable movie, but this is a completely different kind of show. I appreciated the nuances and respecting the audiences intelligence.

[@CHoffyC]

Imagine making an amazing show leading up to the battle of Sekigahara and then not actually showing the battle. FAIL. my heart is broken...this show could have been one of the best ever and then they decided to not include one of the biggest moments in Japanese history....

[@HateSpeech4Life]

10/10 show!!
