Musashi

Betsy Hayashi wrote:Actually, no. NHK Musashi and Vagabond are two distinct adaptations from Yoshikawa's book. For example, in "Vagabond", Kojiro is deaf. But both have some similarities.

Kojiro deaf??? Wha???? Talk about artistic license....

Actually, I don't have the entire series and it's not over yet (they're still editing it in Japan). It took lots of liberties, but it's a good story.

I have browsed through the books in the bookstore and the artwork is typical manga: frenetic and stylish... It's a little tough get used to the right to left orientation of the books, though. :sweat: :hehe:

I had problems to get used to this orientation, but now I'm completely used, I'm readin' dozens of mangas and magazines with this orientation ...

I'd finally watched the Ep. 8 today. But keep on posting the pics, because they help me to understand what happened (the tape hasn't subtititles ...)
