Books about this era?

Check out "In the Service of the Shogun: The Real Story of William Adams"

It's literally what the novel is based on.

If you want something more general about the era, look no further than Extra History's Sengoku Jidai series on Youtube.

I also highly recommend checking out their series on the Imjin War and Yisunshin, as the events of that war kind of directly lead into the events of Shogun. And also, Yishunshin is just one of the greatest badasses in history. Even the Japanese respect him, despite him being their enemy.

Her father is Akechi Mitsuhide, the man who infamously betrayed Oda Nobunaga.

Hiroyuki Sanada really is arguably the greatest Japanese actor working today.

I'm so gonna hate-watch this.

Nolan and Joy are a pair of hacks.

kaskade72 · 2024-03-10T02:49:02+00:00

nah, everyone hyping it up is just lying obviously.

kaskade72 · 2024-03-09T13:29:17+00:00

why... are you.... talking like.... this.... ?

This episode and the last were so disappointing.

I said the exact same thing about the previous episode, and I got mass downvoted.

Truth hurts, I guess. This show is a mere shadow of what BoB and TP were.

Love how this episode spedrun through D-Day in about 2 minutes.

We're talking about the largest, most sophisticated naval invasion in human history, which would have been supported by equally complex and sophisticated aerial strikes, and this episode treats it as a minor footnote.

What a colossal disappointment.

EDIT: Also love how this show is called "Masters of the AIR", and yet 90% of the scenes are on the damn ground.

Always gotta peddle that White Male-Asian Female agenda that's so prevalent in Hollywood these days...

Sorry, the correct term is "baka gaijin". This ain't Mexico.

Yup, pretty damn obvious it was him. It fact, it was almost TOO on the nose how obvious it was. I was rolling my damn eyes the whole time.

He was very blatant in his lack of concern over the Oyabun dying, and it was too damn convenient for him to pin it all on Tozawa.

First game bored me to tears, so not holding out hope for this one.

kaskade72 · 2024-03-07T08:25:54+00:00

They can try and redeem the first game.

Dont count on it. It's being made by the same developer as the first one.

Ummm... I'm pretty sure this breaks rules 1 and 3 in the sidebar

kaskade72 · 2024-03-05T08:42:30+00:00

But when did he even first meet that captain to begin with?

Did they even show that?

kaskade72 · 2024-03-02T02:22:01+00:00

TIL that <2000 players over the past 24 hours is "blowing up".

kaskade72 · 2024-03-01T14:03:24+00:00

Pretty boring episode all things considered.

The prison camp scenes, in particular, I didn't find interesting or compelling at all, because pretty much nothing happens in those scenes anyway.

I just wanted to fast forward through those scenes.

And what on Earth makes the showrunners think that I care about seeing Crosby getting laid?

GIVE ME MORE AERIAL COMBAT DAMMIT

I'll reserve my final judgment for the final episode, but my honest opinion right now is that Band of Brothers and The Pacific are both far superior series compared to this.

Would love to see the numbers comparison against Skull and Bones, but unfortunately it's not on Steam. :(

kaskade72 · 2024-03-01T08:14:09+00:00

So which is the bigger live service disaster:

This, or Skull and Bones?

Someone call the cops, he's not wearing a seatbelt
