I remember with Kyoumei ga Tsuji it started out with Yukie's character as a young girl, and I don't think Yuki showed up until about episode 3 or 4. The challenge for me will be putting up Eita's ears!!! | I didn't catch the show on TV either (since I'm already up to ep. 5), but if they aired the 1st ep. in 2 parts like past Taiga's, then you'll definitely see her next week (she made her entrance at around 36:39).

I don't have a pre-exisiting hatred of taigs's (except Yoshitsune which was crap) my biggest complaint is that they should have used Manami Konishi in the lead, she really was born in Kagoshima. @ concertmaster, yeah, it looks like they're showing episode 1 in 2 parts, they cut it short at about 30 minutes last night.

LOL, good analogy... And I agree: make the commitment or don't... Straddling the fence doesn't work.
And it hurts, to boot.

Quite true and I may have to give it up after I see her for a while. On the other hand maybe for once they will actually show more than endless closeups of dirty faced actors who grunt more than speak their lines. Then if they have more scenes with 2 or 3 or 4 actors at once it may be interesting but of course always spurred by my desire to see Aoi. Believe it I actually enjoyed a Taiga and watch it often... Hidden Blade. I watched it because of Takako Matsu and ended up truly liking it. Somehow or other the producers goofed up and showed lots of scenes of landscarpes and group ensemble actors. It was more of an actual story than single actors giving endless monologues.

Uh, a single movie doesn't constitute a Taiga...
Actually, it's just a fancy title that NHK put on all of their super-miniseries...

That's why I enjoy Hidden Blade so much. The action moves swiftly without endless monologues so you can actually tell what's going on.

I was just being tounge-in-cheek with the hatred part; and thinking Yoshitsune was crap isn't hatred, it's having taste. I'm just looking for opinions on whether the series will be worth watching since my free time is running out soon. I believe it was on your suggestion that I check out Fuurin Kazan which now ranks as one of my favorite dramas, so I trust the judgement of members here. Also, Miyazaki Aoi is praised highly, and I'd like to see her performance....except the part with the eyes painted on her eyelids. That scares me.

If this is the wrong spot to be asking, please let me know. |
You might check the KTSF thread in the J-Ent forum... I know it started down here in SoCal this past Saturday (Feb 9)...
