Yoshitsune - NHK Taiga Drama for 2005

kitakaze wrote:I guess no one watches this anymore

There are a lot of viewers at the California board, which has about as many posts in the Yoshitsune thread there as this one has.

I'm still watching. It's good not great. I will still take Musashi or Toshiie to Matsu over it any day but they were both excellent. I think I like this as much as Shinsengumi which was also an enjoyable enjoyable show.

I want them to bring back Aya soon.

I'm trying to remember that character. How far back did she appear?

She was just a passing fancy for the guy. I think he liked her clothes more than her. :hehe:

For Shanao? Now I need to go back to the archives.

You don't recall the conversation:

Shanao's friend: So what did you think of her?

Shanao: She's okay, but her clothes are to die for!

:hehe:

I guess that slipped by me. :sweat: I can look it up.

I think it was a joke. Unless that's the way it played out in BMW's twisted mind :hehe: .

***SPOILER!***


Yoshitsune told Shizuka not to leave Kamakura a few episodes ago. That's the Japanese version of professing your love. He didn't seem to care that she was a high-class Kyoto courtesan...Masako certainly did.

Party pooper. :hehe:

Twisted???? :grumble:



I prefer "warped." :hehe: :nut: :crazy:

Wikipedia has an article about the historical Yoshitsune that this show is based on. Some historical spoilers.

Apparently the clan that the show calls "Heike" are Taira, and the clan that the show calls "Genji" are Minamoto. I'm so confused! :)

I think it'll pick up once Ushiwakamaru goes to battle in earnest. And I wish people would stop changing their names, or at least change to something shorter. :(

Thanks for the Wikipedia link. That's a cool, informative site. :thumbsup:

Trying again.

Searching for the person in Hawaii who got Musashi from me awhile back and said they would like to trade Yoshitune with me later.

Are you out there??

:fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

There are active discussions at the California and KIKU boards. Not sure why it's so quiet here.

I haven't seen a single episode of it. However, a friend of mine swears that I'm missing the best Taiga drama in the world....she <b>is</b> a big Hideaki Takizawa fan though :hehe:. Having said that I don't know if I should really believe what she says :sweat:.

Yeah, I'd take it with a grain of salt. ;)

Thanks for the advice :hehe:.
