Musashi

Yeah, 49 episodes (actually, 48, 'cos one of the episodes was a kind of resume ...)

I recall reading the book as a teenager. Didn't think there was enough material for 49 episodes.

And, in fact, there wasn't enough material for 49 episodes. They had to take some liberties to make the story lasts 49 eps.

Yup. They intertwined Musashi's story with that of Yagyu Munenori's (later Yagyu Tajima-no-kami) rise to power during the Tokugawa era...

I would love to post more pics of Mabo as Kojiro, but I posted all the pics I had. And I searched like crazy in the Net for pics of him in Musashi, but I haven't found any ... :grumble: And I, unfortunatelly, didn't receive the Musashi book I ordered ... :grumble: :angry:
But bmwracer received his books and, surely, he'll post the pics. :mrgreen:

BTW, if you want to see Mabo, I'll be opening next week a photo gallery for him. I'll PM you later to give you the link to the page. :mrgreen:

Oh, great scans, bmw !!!!!!! More, more, more, please !!!!! :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Oh, let me ask you a thing: Is there an Ebizo's poster in book one ???? I read on the cover something like that ...

Time to get a new scanner, neh? I've got a two-year old Canon N670U... They've got similar ones for about $50USD... :)

Yup, there's a poster... I can't tell if it's book one or not, since I don't see a number anywhere... :headscratch:

For sure !!! My scanner is a 7 year-old TCE S430 ...

The book with the black and blue cover is the first. The book with the all blue cover is the second. The poster is in the first one, that I ordered and didn't receive ... :banghead: :grumble:

Thanks for the amazing pic (I posted it before, but yours is much better, since my scanner is :bleh: )!!!! May I post it again in my gallery for Mabo ???[/quote]

Absolutely. Glad to contribute.

Hmm, I guess I don't remember that pic... Oh well.

Here's another (probably a repeat as well :sweat: ):

Okay, this is from book one, according to Betsy-chan: :)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, this one made me :drooling:

Thanks !!!!

That first one I posted too, but as I said before, your scanner is better than mine. So the definition of this pic is far better than the one I posted.

Nuts. I'd better review the pages before I post anymore... :bleh:

Can't you adjust the settings on your scanner? Maybe you're scanning at too high a resolution...

You can post all the pics from the book one, 'cos these ones weren't posted before.
I'll check my book 2 and I'll tell you the pics I posted here before.

No, I tried to adjust, but the resolution didn't get better ... :grumble:

Thanks bmwracer for that lovely picture. It does have great resolution as do the ones of Musashi.

Shall be happy to see your pics of Mabo Betsy. So far have not been able to find any other dramas with Mabo. I know there are some but pretty scarce on the ground here in California.
