I don't think he is. I haven't seen every episode, but IIRC some episodes here had them and some didn't. Kind of hit and miss. I'm thinking the station might have edited them out so they could stuff in some more commercials.

I'm just wondering because the ones that are aired in Hawaii have about a minute of historical information at the end of each episode that shows what the places that were shown in Atsuhime looks like in its current state. I didn't notice this at the end of Ralph's recordings nor the D-addicts ones.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. This is aired aired after episode 35: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S0H30BPA |
They only had them for the first few episodes.
Then they cut them out so they could have more advertising.

I would never edit them out as they added so much to understanding how much the Japanese people honored them. I can't understand how UTB can be so crass as to substitute more commercials for them.

Yeah, I didn't think you would. Otherwise why would you leave some in?

I remember they had those at the end of every episode of Shinsengumi and they were very informative. Sometimes they were the best part of the episode.

I remember the Musashi episodes had those little informative historical footnotes at the end of each episode as well... But never on the discs I received.

Atsuhime... best Taiga drama ever and Aoi Miyaszaki and the rest of the casts were brilliant, plus the costume and music were fantastic! Worth to watch!!!

I cannot express enough how impressed I am with this incredible work of True Art. The acting, scenery, costumes and story line are all majestic and will garner many more viewers thru the years. Aoi chan now has to rank with the top artists not only in Japan but the entire cinematic world.

You could. Your package is going out early tomorrow morning. But then you know the Canadian PO lives in it's own world.

Finally finished!
My review got really long so I wasn't able to go on and on about how amazing Aoi-chan was.
Review: 8/10
So I fell asleep quite a bit while watching this drama. Although it was quite lovely to look at and although I absolutely adore Aoi-chan, the story dragged a bit during those middle episodes.
That being said, I must say that I�fm awfully glad I watched this drama. Firstly, it taught me so much about Court life and about Japanese history. It was amusing to realize just how much I had picked up from this drama when I visited the castles in Japan and was able to answer the questions posed by the tour guide. ^_^
Secondly, I was able to experience Matsuzaka Keiko. Where has she been all my life?! It was the strangest sensation feeling so devastated when her character, Ikushima, left Atsu-Hime�fs service – and then feeling this flood of joy when she returned numerous episodes later. The bond that is formed between Atsu-Hime and the women in the Ooku is truly infectious and I felt camaraderie between them and myself.
Thirdly, I love Taiga�fs because of the various faces that cross the screen. It was so refreshing to see the different actors and actresses pop up without me expecting them.
And finally, the drama was simply aesthetically pleasing.
I was really affected by the plot and the character of Atsu-Hime – so much so that I tried to look her up in historical literature to learn more about her.
All-in-all, although boring at times, I would still invest the billion hours to watch this show again. _________________
